A/N: This is for Hogwarts assignment 12 Gardening task #2 Setting: The Burrow's Garden, please see below for all other challenges. It's 453 words.
Molly Weasley looked at the work which had been done to the back garden of The Burrow. It had once again been transformed for another momentous occasion. The last time had been for Bill and Fleur's wedding, and now it was for the official presentation of their daughter, Victoire.
"This looks beautiful mum, thank you," Bill said as he came to stand by her.
A large open marquee had been set up which would protect the guests from the glaring sun but still be able to invite a breeze in to cool them down. A row of tables sat at one end which would hold the food and a podium was at the other for when Bill and Fleur wanted to speak to the guests.
"It's no problem, dear. Anything for my granddaughter," she replied happily.
"How is George doing?" he asked.
"He's going between feeling happy and feeling down still. I think he found it hard when he found out Victoire was born on the same day that Fred died. He is happy for you even though he might not seem like he is," Molly answered honestly.
"I think he will get there eventually. At least there is something positive to look forward to on that day now."
The pair stood in silence before the heard Fleur faintly calling Bill from the house.
"I better go and see what she wants," Bill said kissing her on the cheek before going inside.
As the afternoon wore on more and more guests arrived until the marquee was full and they were spilling out into the garden itself.
At three o'clock Bill and Fleur made their way to the little podium at one end of it.
"We would like to thank you all for coming here today to celebrate the birth of our daughter. The past two years have been very hard for all of us, and many are still grieving for losses we have suffered. After finding out we were going to be parents, we could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. She would bring us the joy and happiness we craved, and so it is with great delight that we present to you, Victoire Iris Weasley," Bill said emotionally.
"We hope that those of you who are still struggling will find something, or someone to help you see the light in the darkness, the way that our little Victoire has helped us. Thank you," Fleur said finishing their little speech.
Once the couple walked off the podium they began to mingle with the friends and family they hadn't had a chance to greet. All of them cooed at the child in her mother's arms and wished them the best.
