 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
He had to admit it: the lack of screaming and usual chaos was impressive. Maybe they should plan for secret parties all the time if it meant that the kids would get on long enough for them to cooperate with each other.
Frankie's eyes glanced over to Hady, trying to get a good read on her. Was she just as surprised that the house was still intact? Or was she more concerned that the house was, for the most part, semi-quiet? The latter would normally be of concern to him, but it was all part of the plan. His instructions had been clear as gillywater.
The sound of something falling to the floor in the next room did catch his attention. No crying followed, just hushed voices. He made a sudden movement toward the door, putting his hand on the handle before Hady could.
His other hand reached out, welcoming her to join hers with his. "Close your eyes, will you?" he asked, his eyes twinkling as a little smirk made an appearance on his face.
Why was it taking so long for some Spellotape to be handed over to him? It was one thing that the boy had no patience for anything, but it was something else entirely now that their parents were literally back home and they had maybe 40 seconds before they walked into the room they were decorating.
He could feel his arms and legs aching as he continued to be all stretched out, holding the last of the streamers in place. It was starting to get really unbearable, and he could feel himself starting to sweat. But what was even more unbearable was watching Bryony fail to be of any help. "Merlin, Bry! Watch where you're going!" And he left it at that, leaving Mel to deal with her.
"Just a piece," he told Nova, snatching from her the one she had just cut. There wasn't time for a thank you, considering they were literally scrambling to wrap the decorating up at this point. As fast as a Snitch, he placed the tape onto the end of the streamer and stuck it to the wall. Done. Finished.
Blue eyes shot to the door. "Hurry! Places, everyone!" he told his sisters, definitely not being as quiet as he probably should have been.
