Okay, so I have a wedding to go to in a couple of weeks. So I have some questions to ask the glorious masses:

1) What the hell do you get a couple with bank accounts that generate interest comparable to the GDP of number of small countries? I mean I don't think they'd actually care, but you know.

2) Anyone good at avoiding familial obligations and want to teach a boy the ropes?

[Warded to Marcus]
Aha so remember how I mentioned mum thinks we're dating? Apparently the entirety of my family does to. Up for a wedding? I promise you won't have your out ~~Unless you want to. Oh Merlin please~~

[Warded to Melinda]
So my cousin's fiancée wants something "magical" for her cake...

For couples like that, you give them something that can't be bought for money, an experience, a memory, or something that they wouldn't have thought of themselves. That could be a donation to charity in their name, a performance of some sort (like a song you think would suit them or make them feel happy sung by someone with a lovely voice or played on, I don't know, trumpet. You get the gist)

I'm not good at that kind of avoidance, so I'll spare you my advice there.

Finally, by "magical" I sure don't hope she means a Potioned cake...

Hmmm good point. I'll talk to mum, see what she says.

Damn it, I can feel the claws of that side of the family digging in. Hiding the whole magic thing is hard when you know the people.

Ugh I still want to help Oliver strangle that stupid tart. No, not potioned. I'm thinking more they fired their old cake decorator and I was wondering if you wanted someone to pay you ridiculously hug sums of money to make a beautiful cake?

It's just what I've seen done at different weddings I've been present at. I hope you find something. Acually, I'm sure you'll find something.

I can only imagine how hard that will be, so maybe play the aloof card and only pay close attention to... someone, anyone, who can be trusted not to out you if you slip and magic slips out.

You will have to get in line, it seems, but I will issue the same threat to you as I did to them: Don't you dare! I'm not having either of you in trouble because of someone like that. You're far too valuable for that.

I can make beautiful cakes and though it may be considered bad for business, a ridiculously huge sum of money is only depending on how long I have to prepare it and how many it needs to feed. I'd be happy to do a consultation with her, unless she wants to be surprised, in which case I simply need to know which cake and filling she prefers (I'll Owl you the list of what I make, though I will make anything, even if it's not on the list), colour scheme and delivery time and location. Oh, and of course, I also need to know how many guests it's for.

I will definitely keep it in mind. If only I could reveal my magic and do something spectacular. That'd be pretty awesome.

Aw Mel, you ruin my fun!

Now don't you dare talk her out of paying you exultantly! She's determined to place a huge dent in her mother's bank account as a sort of final stuff you gesture, and I talked up how amazing your cakes are! I'll owl you her address so you can go and have a consultation yeah?

It would. Instead you get to shine with your extraordinary imagination and consideration, right?

I know, I'm sorry, but I really would be happier if you weren't in trouble.

I will do no such thing! However, I will be certain to get her what she's paying for, because even if it is a Muggle thing, that doesn't mean that I won't make sure to live up to Sweet Nothings' reputation. When did you say this is again?
