Dratted Death Eaters
Chapter 6: When Cows Attack!
If you were a logical person you would assume that either Bill or Fleur would cry off in the face of Pippa's return, sadly Bill was to much of a gentlemen and Fleur wanted to make the Weasleys suffer. Luckily for the Weasleys, Fred and George had decided to move back to the Burrow. They claimed it was because of the tension and danger of living in Diagon Alley, but mostly it was figured they wanted to harass Fleur into retreating. Ron, Harry, Charlie, and Ginny, joined them in this endeavor. And where Mama Weasley would have ordinarily told them off or punished them, she gave them free reign where Fleur was concerned.
And as hectic as life was in the Burrow, the fervor increased with the tension. Fleur was alone in her belief that she was wronged. Bill had not brought Pippa back from the past, nor had he cheated on her.
Bill was tormented by the situation. He loved Pippa but in his fashion he loved Fleur as well. However, as a gentleman, he felt that if someone was to cry off it had to be Fleur, but he would not force the issue.
Meanwhile Alex forced everyone to move on with their business and conscripted everyone into training. And occasionally she was seen to be conversing in hushed tones with Fred and George, and always the following day there would be some prank on the stroppy cow. Speaking of cows…
"Stop zis Charlie! I vill claw out your eyes!" Fleur screeched.
Why is she screeching? Well Charlie had been out at a Muggle junkshop and had com across one of those little cans that moo when you turn it upside down. Every time Fleur attempted to speak, entered a room, or did anything really, he would flip it continuously until she left in a huff. Right now however he was merely part of a bigger scheme. He was distracting her, and she was to stupid to notice.
"Is wittle Phlegm upset?" he asked, speaking as though she were a small, slow child.
Her right eye twitched, one could even call it a seizure of the eye, and she turned her hands into her Veela claws. As she was about to strike him, Fred, George, Harry, Ron, and Ginny brushed past her. Ginny even "accidentally" ran into her, tipping the cow to the side. She cried out in anger, but stormed off to the room she had been given. Before she turned the corner, a jet of magic hit the air above her, alas the effect was lost as she ran into the room.
Moments later her angry screams were heard, likely clear to the next county. Bill, who had been outside talking with Alex and Pippa, ran up immediately, with the two following behind. The site that met their eyes was just to0 wonderfully hilarious.
All of Fleur's belongings had been transfigured into what appeared to be rubber cows, only they moved around and were about the size of a chocolate frog. But the icing on the cake was the foreboding cloud of doom that rained rubber piggies and cows down on her. Then the little rain piggies and cows of DOOM would float around, dive bomb her, and ran at her feet.
Bill could barely contain his laughter, but Alex and Pippa felt no need to restrain themselves. They were leaning against the door, consumed by fits of laughter, and the crowd outside the door had grown to include everyone. There were some who contained their mirth, but most burst into laughter.
Fleur was so angry she started throwing things. Then she turned on Alex and Pippa.
"Zis vas your doing you bitches!" She lunged for them but Bill grabbed her around the waist.
"You'll not attack my parents guests." he picked her up an sat her in a chair by the window and turned to the twins. "Fix it as soon as possible."
"The rest of you go about your business. Now!" Bill ordered, he wanted to laugh but knew now was not the time. The crowd dispersed and Bill went to leave.
"This was not their doing. And I will leave the decision to you as to whether or not we get married. I made a promise, I'll not break it." Bill walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Moments after he left, the cloud disappeared, and her stuff returned to its normal condition.
She broke down and cried. When she stopped, she had made her decision, and she was going to enjoy it.
