8:46 pm - Overheard in the Burrow
|
Don't respect you? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! I made you! You were a pile of fiber before I came along, and if that's not respect then I don't know what is!
*Arthur calls down the hall*
Is one of the children here, Molly?
No, I was just- Merlin, I'm actually having an argument with my scarf. Enough. Depulso!

You really ought to know better than to get your father birthday gadgets, dear; he disappeared into his shed as soon as we got back from brunch and I haven't seen him since.

Would you mind getting the rolls out of the oven for me, dear?
*pauses to put up a silencing charm*
I'm so excited about the gift we found for your father! That book on cicuts is just perfect for him.

8:41 pm - Owl Post: Ginny Weasley

Ginny dear, would you like to get dinner and perhaps do some Christmas shopping some night this week? It seems we have quite a lot to catch up on, what with your new girlfriend and all, and of course Ron is out of St. Mungo's now. He came over yesterday morning and it was such a lovely surprise. He mentioned going to find Charlie at the Three Broomsticks and visiting you this morning, so he must be coping well with his new found freedom.
Anyway, dear, just let me know. I'm free any night this week; I can just put something aside for your father to eat, and we'll be on our way.
Mum

There you are, dear! We were just wondering when you would get here. Oh, you've brought along a friend!

9:04 pm - Private Post

Well, the eldest is married and off on his honeymoon, and the rest of us are still recovering from the party. For something that came together so quickly, I thought it went off remarkably well. Luna looked positively radiant, and the look on Bill's face when she appeared out of the house was truly priceless. Despite my initial doubts, they're a good match. They can challenge each other intellectually and they're obviously very much in love. Perhaps Bill's example might tempt Charlie and Elle to the alter...
The evening was notable both for who was there as well as who wasn't. I never thought I'd see the day that Severus Snape and Sirius Black sat at the same table and had a civil conversation, even if it was well lubricated with alcohol. But the absence of Ron and Ginny...
I took Ginny to the Paradise Spa yesterday afternoon. It was a new one for us, and it was quite luxurious and relaxing, but I can't help but feel as if I've failed my little girl. I ought to have sat down and written an owl instead of tossing off a floo call every few weeks and hoping I would catch her. She's hurting, and given her history with Luna she has every right to. I wish I knew how to help her get past that. Rehashing it certainly won't help; I may as well take a scalpel to a raw wound. But neither can she just ignore the past; that only works until something comes up to throw it in her face again, as the wedding proved. Perhaps I ought to talk with Poppy or Severus; maybe there's something that might help.
And Ron... Arthur and I visited him this morning, and I must remember to have words with his healers. He struck me as very quiet and depressed, and not at all in a mental state to be recovering from his previous mental state. I realize that these things take time, but I don't want him thinking that he'll be spending the rest of his days in St. Mungo's. If he does that, he'll never get out.

4:02 pm - Multiple-owl post: Luna Lovegood
|
Three owls carry a package that is securely wrapped in paper and contains multiple wards that must be precisely disarmed prior to opening.
I don't have time to bring this by directly before the rehearsal dinner tonight, dear, but I didn't want you to wait any longer. The dress has been altered exactly to your specifications. I rather pity the poor girl in the back of that boutique, what with the pile she had yet to get through, but a few strong words and a bit of extra cash helped move your dress to the front of the line. Do try it on immediately and let me know if there are any issues while we can still fix them, but I believe we should be fine for tomorrow, at least where the dress is concerned.

Merlin no, dear, you can't be married in that! Give me the name of the shop and if it's not done I'll finish it myself. I can take tomorrow off if I have to.
I must apologize for missing your Hen night, dear, but I'd already arranged an evening with Ginny. From the sound of your friend from New York, you'll have quite a fine time without me.

Why would you think I had spoken to Harry, dear?
Eight tomorrow sounds perfect. I'll bring along some tea so we can both be at our best for bargain hunting.

Ginny,
The Quidditch season must have started, dear; I keep missing you every time I call. I do hope you have tomorrow off, though, because I hear that Gladrags is starting their summer solstice sale. After last year, we both know how important it is to get there early! So, how about Gladrags first thing in the morning, then breakfast on Diagon and dinner at the Burrow? Bill and Luna won't be coming, and you can catch us up on all the exciting things you must have been working on when you weren't at home to answer your floo.
Love, Mum

To: Luna Lovegood (LLovegood @ thequibbler.co.uk); Aunt Beth (Lizzie_Wells @ kingscollegeschool.org.uk)
From: Molly Weasley (MWeasley @ hitwiz.mom.gov.uk)
Subject: Re: Decorations and Music
Forgive me, dear, for being so tardy in replying to this; I've barely had a spare moment lately what with certain activities at work. I spoke with Bill on Friday regarding the mother-son dance song. He promised to pass the name to you, but just in case he forgot it's "What a Wonderful Wizard You've Become" by Celestina Warbeck.
As to centerpieces... I rather like the idea of floating candles. We can charm them into any number of meaningful shapes, and they'll provide both light and a bit of interest as they move around in the bowl.
Is there anything else we've forgotten? Do we have favors for the guests?
Molly

Subject: Re: Cakes and Plates
Your selections are quite lovely, Mrs. Wells, but they don't quite fit with what I had been led to believe were Luna's tastes. Do correct me if I'm wrong, Luna, but as your bouquet is anything but traditional I had assumed you were not looking for a traditional cake. (And if you were, dear, I would advise you to consider that such a contrast could potentially clash in a rather unpleasant manner.)
Given my assumption that we are looking for something non-traditional, I've expanded my search a bit. Colors are easy to change, of course, and you may find these not at all appealing, but I've attached several examples of cakes which are both visually appealing and fit with the unique theme started by your bouquet. I'm rather fond of the final one, myself, though of course we would want to charm for movement to emulate Monet's Wizarding paintings rather than his Muggle ones.

Excellent choice with Bill, dear; you're getting the hang of managing a man quite well. As to the plates, I would go with the first - simple and elegant. You don't want the plates to attract attention away from more important things, such as the bride and the cake.
For the cake... let me think... None of those quite work for me, so I would agree with your idea of combining ideas. I do like the whimsy in the uneven layers. We could also have the layers set off at an angle, as in my first photo. While the flowers are traditional, there are certainly other options to consider. Fondant fruit (or real fruit, for that matter) could certainly be a nice alternative, or perhaps some attractive runes similar to the third photo. If you do opt for flowers, dear, make sure that you get a scent charm on them as they grow, so as to add additional ambiance to the tent.

Subject: Re: Dress Shopping
Dinner after dress shopping sounds lovely, Mrs. Wells. I do look forward to meeting you as well!
I don't believe we ought to rule out sleeveless dresses entirely, but I do agree with you that it must be tasteful. Luna has such a lovely shoulder structure, and I think that if we can find the proper gown the effect could be stunning. The first picture I've attached is an excellent example of a neckline that wouldn't do at all, though some of the detailing on the skirt is lovely. The others, though, could be acceptable when paired with the proper veil and necklace. And while I hesitate to suggest coloring quite as non-traditional as depicted in the last photo, Luna, I believe if we could find a cut similar to that it would flatter you quite nicely.
Now, Mrs. Wells, I'm open to several options for veils and hair ornaments, but I'm afraid I must veto something as elaborate as the one in your first picture. It reminds me all too much of the tastes of one of Bill's former girlfriends. I think I need not say more than that.
I shall see you both tomorrow, dears!
Molly
