December 17 – The Nest
"Are you ready girls?" Audrey asked her daughters.
"Ya!" Molly and Lucy cheered. They were going to make paper chain advent calendars.
"Okay." Audrey laid out the colored paper, tape, markers, and scissors.
"What we're going to do is make a paper chain." Audrey grabbed a red piece of paper and cut a strip. She then got a green piece of paper and cut a strip. She made a circle with the red piece and taped it. She then put the green strip through the red, and taped it.
"There, do you understand how to do that?" Lucy and Molly nodded.
"We're going to make one with eight strips." Audrey pointed to the markers, "You can decorate the strips before we cut them if you want. You can also use the white paper and make your own designs."
"Mummy, can we start now?" Lucy was slightly bouncing in her seat.
"Of course dear." Lucy quickly grabbed a red piece of paper, and started cutting.
Molly grabbed one red paper and one green paper, and carefully cut four red strips and four green strips.
Audrey cut out two yellow stars.
"Girls, these stars will go at the top of your chains." Audrey wrote, 'Merry Christmas' on the stars.
"Molly-girl, can you tell me what this says?" Molly was learning to read, and prided on reading.
"Merry Christmas." Molly said proudly.
"Very good sweet hear." Audrey praised Molly. "See, after you rip all the strips off, all that will be left is this Christmas star."
"Cool!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Girls, would you like to write your name on the stars?" Lucy had just learned to write her name.
When Molly and Lucy finished their chains, Audrey helped them tape it to the star.
"Very good girls!" Audrey clapped her hands together. "They look amazing!"
"Thanks Mummy!" Both girls beamed.
"Now we can hang them up. Where would you like to hang them?"
"The tichen." Lucy couldn't pronounce some words, including kitchen.
"Ya, the kitchen." Molly agreed.
"Okay." Audrey led the girls to the wall. "Hold the chain where you want me to stick it." The girls obeyed, placing the chains on the wall. Audrey waved her wand and muttered the incantation for the sticking charm.
"It looks wonderful girls! I have another craft we can do, if you'd like."
"Ya!" The girls exclaimed.
"I have some fun paper we can use to make Christmas Cards for everyone in the family. Would you girls like that?"
"Uh-huh!" They exclaimed.
"We can take them to them tomorrow when we go to the Burrow."
A/N- My sister told me that it was odd that I had Audrey mutter the charm. "Adults can do silent magic!" Yes this is true, adults, even sixth year students, can do silent magic. But, if you read 'Audrey Weasley' on my account, you'll understand! (Also coming soon is, 'The Life of Audrey Weasley'. It should be REALLY good) Now, you know what to do… REVIEW!! (niceness, constructive criticism, no flames)
