Moonette's Birthday Magical Mystery Tour III
During which there are some unexpected events and a happy ending...Perhaps Brown's Hotel did not mind the after-hours 'Cream Tea That Became Breakfast' because we were such lively guests. Or it could have been the promise of exceptional gratitudities. But, most likely, it was the more than occasional Obliviate that Niall or Bill or Molly

He went over to Napier and greeted him, Amamama went to Hazel and gave her a hand up from the floor.
"So," she said to her friend, "something's not quite right with that cake?"
"No, Nape feels it's rotten with charms and layered spells, so it's a good thing you guys were here."
"Ja...but why were you on the floor?"
Hazel blushed slightly and grinned. "Bad joke, but incredibly funny. Don't ask me to explain, I'm not sure I wouldn't cock it up."
"Kay. Say, if you close your eyes and just "feel" that cake - do you sense something strange with it?"
"Hmmm... Dunno, there's something familiar with that energy in the center, is there?"
"Yes, that's what I feel too. Rose shivers too - look at her!" Amamama pointed to Rose who seemed most agitated. "It's as if she recognises the energy too!"
"Ah..." Hazel locked eyes with Amamama, "and who's not been at this party, despite being one of our regulars?"
"Someone who worked round the clock these last weeks and only managed to keep going with large amounts of chocolate cake..." Amamama continued.
"Megan!" They both shouted. "Bloody hell. Bill!"
"No need to shout dear, I'm right next to you."
"Sorry," the reply came automatically, "but we think maybe Megan is cptured in that cake!"
"Why do you think so?"
"Because both Hazel and I can sense something familiar in the energy, and Rose is most distressed!" She cooed soothing words at Rose, lightly stroking her petals, assuring her it would work out fine.
"Ok. We need to get to work then. Nape?"
"Yes, I agree. Conjure a big bowl to keep the cake in, as we do our excavation?"
"Good idea. If this is the kind of curse it seems to be, we might have to eat it all to break it, so no vanishing, just careful lifting."
The two got to work, carefully lifting chunk after chunk of cake over in the jacuzzi-sized bowl.
"We need to get those spears out." They waved at the 300, and explained the situation. The spears needed to be removed carefully. If the spear hitched or seemed to be stuck, the needed to let it be. And they needed to lick of the chocolate sauce and the crumbs that stuck to the spears. They couldn't risk not breaking the cure because of not eating all of the cake.
The 300 grunted, but did as they were told. Unfortunately they waved their spears around a bit too much, so several of the ladies that had come close, got their dresses ripped up. In a rather revealing way, so the mood in the room started to change as the Spartans ogled the now scantily clad women.
"Now seriously! This is no way to behave." Grandma Kate stomped her foot and stared at the 300. "Molly, please help me."
"Of course, Kate." Molly had her wand at the ready and quickly cast a charm at the Spartans, which calmed them down and returned the mooed of the room to normal, then quickly fixed the ladies dresses. Kate got the Spartans lined up so they could eat the chocolate off from their spears, with out undressing anybody in the process, and then she returned to watching Bill and Napier's work.
Augustus Pye had sidled over to Bill and Nape when Jo had pointed out that they might need a ehaler when finished, and was now watching the progress with an eager eye.
"There's something here!" Bill exclaimed, "and it's protected..." Slowly, slowly, he elevated what looked like a chocolate goddess out of the center of the cake and over to the floor. Pye rushed over, but Bill motioned to him to stay back. "Wait a second. She's protected with the same spell Dumbledore used on the hostages during the tri-wizard tournament. Let1s try with wiping chocolate off from her face forst, shall we?"
Pye conjured a bowl of warm water and a cloth, and proceeded to wipe clean the chocolate goddess' face. She did indeed start to breathe, and opened her eyes.
Her "Where am I?" almost disapeared in the unison "Megan!" that swept the room.

The Spartans who had their spears back had gone back to some sort of circle dance, so CHK convinced the Spartans that she and Niall were from the part of their unit that was waiting for the signal to attack if their Goddess Moonette was in danger. CHK told them to stand like statues and Niall helped with a Petrificus Totalis. They all faced Bill, Napier, and Augustus Pye.
'We've been worried because you were working so hard. We're glad that you were able to join us,' began Kate. 'I imagine you'd want a rather strong tea blend if you've been encased in chocolate. Perhaps some Assam?'
Megan was not at all happy to be dressed in pink, although it did add colour to her cheeks. 'Fine. Andy blend of tea will help wash that chocolate taste out of my mouth.'
Everyone present who knew Megan gasped. Megan loved chocolate.
Bill cast another of his complicated spells. 'She's under the control of someone very powerful. She isn't herself. She's been Imperiused. See how glazed she looks?'
'Rather like a chocolate covered Krispie Creame,' murmured someone.
