(Did the Sorting Cat CHEAT? it gave me a perfect prompt!)

Recipient: erised1810
Prompt: Diagon Alley in the 19th century
Word count: 100
Rating: N/A

Kendra and Aluetia waited as the family in front made paused at the new entrance to Diagon Alley.

"I have to say," said one divine peacock with a moving tapestry waistcoat and ice-blue monocle, "I'm not impressed with this...new fangled contraption. What's wrong with words, anyway?-words are the very heart and soul of magic. Any looby can poke bricks with his wand."

Aluetia hit Kendra with her reticule, and the girls tried not to giggle as the Dumbledores moved on.

"Oh, Percival," Kendra whispered. "I'm going to marry you."

"That macaroni?" Aluetia made a Face. "Rather you than me."

Hahahaha! Oh, I love the pompous Dumbledores and the two sisters giggling. Charming!

Thank you! Considering the place hasn't changed much since Victorian times, it seemed, it was a fun prompt!

Perfect moment in time!

"Any looby can poke bricks with his wand." I seriously love that line. :) And the ice-blue monocle is to die for.

I'm very naughty, really - because of COURSE gayness cannot be passed on, but I couldn't resist it, The Macronis being so close to my heart.

Thank you!
