"All together now!" Arthur Weasley commanded, pointing his wand towards the enormous pile of silk that ley on the floor.
I poised my wand, and so did the others who were helping around the periphery of the flat silk.
"One. Two. Three!" with that we all used our wands to raise the silk, that pitched itself into a perfect wedding marquee, trembling freely in the morning breeze.

"How's it look on your end, boys?" Arthur called and his two sons, Fred and Ron, looked towards each other in uncertainty.
"Brilliant!" Fred assured him, despite the tangled and bent canopy they had in front of them, I let out a snicker.
"Thea? Hagrid?" Arthur checked.
"All good Mr Weasley" I promised.

Just then, a snap is distinctly heard from the tall grass that surrounds the Burrow, and a tall wizard with a permanent frown and grizzled hair, materialises.
It was Minister Rufus Scrimgeour, and he didn't miss a beat from his appearance to continue walking with purpose towards the Weasley household.

"Bloody hell, what's the Minister of Magic doing here?" George wondered, shocked.
"Maybe to give away the bride" I laughed, nervously.

The minister made his way to the front of the house with no introduction, but everyone knew who he wanted to see, and so Harry trailed by Ron and Hermione follow him towards the living room.

"Typical, I was just about to get ready" I sighed. From the corner of my eye, I could see something sticking from Georges injury, so I swiftly turned my head towards him, noticing a toothbrush sticking out from the hole in the side of his head. "Is that a- You know what never mind" I shook my head, and he smiled smugly.

After a couple of minutes, Minister Rufus Scrimgeour walked out of the Burrow without the trio that entered with him, but instead of disappearing he turned towards me and narrowed his eyes.

"Thea Woods?" He inquired, and I nodded stunned. "Albus Dumbledore wished for me to give your bequest separate for the others, he believes it could help you quiet dearly" the minister informed.
"He left something for me?" I asked, shocked, and the minister gave a short nod of approval.
The man reached into his pocket and fished out a brown leather organza bag then he placed it delicately in my palm.
"With this, Albus Dumbledore hopes that it reminds you of the difference between need and want. He promises that this will level out your head and your heart, both things that have proven equally as strong in his time of knowing you" the minister revealed with a strong voice.
Cautiously I opened the bag and tipped out its remains onto my other hand. It was a silver necklace. The chain was long, and at at the centre, there were talons of an eagle holding a dainty crystal ball in place. The ball was clear, but sometimes a fog of deep blue would appear.
"Thank you minister" I smiled appreciably "are you staying for the wedding?" I asked politely, and he looked taken aback by the question.
"I think not" he replied, looking around at the decorations that had been placed around the area. "Goodbye" he farewelled shortly and disappeared before I could return the favour.
