Chapter five
Angela was started from her sleep by a crowing cockerel, she sighed and rolled out of bed and slipped her slippers on, she crept down to the kitchen.
"Hello Angela" said a voice from the kitchen table, it was Harry
"Hello Harry, you wouldn't happen to know what time it is would you?"
"About seven o'clock, Mr Wealsy doesn't have to go to work to day, but he'll be in the garage all day probably, would you like me to give you a tour of the kitchen, I understand that it may be a little strange for you...its quite old fashioned"
Glumly Angela followed Harry around the kitchen
"I've set the toast up for you already, I couple of dozen sausages will need to be cooked and a bit of scrambled egg, would you like me to do it for today, your new to this type of kitchen"
Angela allowed herself a smile; she already had Harry doing the cooking for her
"You could keep an eye on the toast for me" said Harry, "it's in front of the fire"
Angela walked over and found to her amazement that the bread was neatly lined up against the fire on a long rack
"What am I supposed to do?"
"turn them over when they start going brown" said Harry patiently as he turned the sausages and started to beat the batter for pancakes, Angela picked up the tongs and started trying to turn the bread over, eventually she had done the entire row and was just about to flop down in a chair when Harry asked her to lay the table indicating the doors and drawers from which she should retrieve the things that would be necessary for this exercise. When she had finished this she glared at Harry's back but was cut short in this exercise by footsteps trampling down the stairs.
Harry directed Angela to collect the toast as he put the other food on the table
"Harry, what are you doing?" exclaimed one of the red headed males, "you should not be cooking, that's mum's job"
"Ron, I decided to help Angela because she probably wouldn't have know where to start in this kitchen"
The red haired child just nodded and they sat down at the table
After this a regular stream of red haired people came down the stairs eventually the table was full of people talking, when they were half-way through the meal an owl flew in and landed by Arthur's plate, Angela was about to shriek but was surprised to see that all Arthur did was remove a note from the bird's leg and give it a piece of his bacon rind, the arrival of this bird caused a silence on the table, broken by the odd call such as
"Is it from Mum?"
Or
"Pig, leave dada alone"
Or
"Read it out loud"
Arthur complied
"Dear Arthur,
the house in which I am staying is very nice but I am having a few problems the muggle studies book doesn't mention what a manicure or a pedicure are, I need to know for today because I am supposed to be doing them.
The husband of the family has a problem with my weight...he's always hinting at it and suggesting that I eat healthier food, I'm not sure if I will be able to cope with another two weeks of this humiliation, it seems that there are people to do everything in this house, don't have to cook or clean or anything like that, there is a dinner party tomorrow night and I think that this man might lock me up in my room all night just because I am fat.
Missing you and the children already, remind Fred and George that Angela is not to be used as a subject for pranks, from what Dave has said Angela doesn't know how to cook, don't let her force Harry to do it, you know how malleable he is to other people's distress.
Missing you
Much love
Molly"
"Is that normal" asked Angela, "I mean for this family receiving mail by owl?"
"Yes, I don't think the postman knows where our house is" said Mr Wealsy, "Your husband sounds as though he is being very tolerant of my wife" this was said in a colder tone
"I can't help how my husband behaves can I?" By looks on the faces of everyone sitting at the table she evidently should be. After ten minutes of isolation with everyone talking amongst themselves she got up and having placed her dish in the sink she decided to take a shower.

When Angela had left the entire family started to talk about her,
"That woman" seethed Ron, "I came down here this morning to find Harry doing the cooking"
"She burnt ze toast too" said Fleur
Ginny walked over to the sink and gave it a poke which made the washing up start doing itself,
"She hasn't scraped her plate either" complained Ginny from her current position
"Well, I have an order meeting to attend this morning..." said Mr Wealsy, he then winked conspiritally at them, "Why don't you let Angela clear up the kitchen?" he walked over to the fireplace and flooed out.
"Any one feel up to trip up to the paddock" asked Charlie with a wicked smile in his eyes
There was general chorus of yes from everyone

Angela came back downstairs after her shower to find all of the food and plates were all still on the table, she looked around and saw the camera man was watching her so she threw a small tantrum for the camera, the took the plates to the sink and tried to wash them up couldn't find any soap or cloth, she noticed something in front her that looked like a very old fashioned radio, she flicked the switch
"good morning and welcome to the witching hour...today we will be playing the latest hits from the weird sisters and the smash hit from the Mer trio, Davvy Jones is back from his locker...which we will play for you now...enjoy..."
Angela looked at the radio apprehensive as a peculiar tune started up
'Davvy Jones is back from his locker...
he's gotta little gift for you...
Davvy Jones is back from his locker...
And he's going to find you a new wand...
A better one...
The one you've been waiting for...
No stick of wood...
No ladies, he's got something better for you...'
Angela hit the off switch to stop the suggestive song, and started to dip the dishes into the hot water that was sitting in the sink
"Now, now dear," said a voice from behind her, "do the job properly"
Angela jumped and spun around, then once she was certain there was nobody in the room she turned back to the sink, slightly shaken...once she had finished 'washing' the dishes, she found herself wondering where the rest of the family was, on a whim she decided to look at the clock she remembered seeing when she looked around yesterday, the Arthur hand was now resting on 'wouldn't you like to know' Molly's hand resting on away, all the rest were 'in the paddock' she turned to the camera man
"You wouldn't mind telling me how to get to the paddock would you?"
The man looked like he was about to say no, but nodded and started to lead her into the woods...
