Written for the 60 Prompts Challenge : Prompt - #9 Dumbledore
Fanfiction Marathon Challenge : Dumbledore/Minerva
Albus Dumbledore walked through the streets of Muggle London with his hands stuffed into his pockets, jingling his Muggle coins. He wanted to reward himself today for a school year gone great without any trouble. He eyed various Muggle contraptions that seemed to have piqued his interest and bizarre clothing choices of the people he passed by. He was also greatly amazed at the new technology Muggles have innovated- portable radios! Dumbledore must have one of those, yet he doubt that it'll work in the Magical World.
He passed by a colorful candy shop with little children bursting in and out of the door. Albus walked in for his great love for candy. Maybe he'll spend his loose change by buying candy! He strolled happily through aisles and aisles of candy, taking a bit of almost everything. He then paid for the selection of sweets, walking out of the shop with a big grin. He dunked his hand inside of the plastic bag, feeling the wrapping of the candy caressing his skin. He opened the sheer plastic labeled 'Lyla's Lemon Drops' and popped the citrine sweet into his mouth. It tasted sweet and tangy and sour and just plain lovely. The candy transported him back to his childhood when his mother used to make lemonade on a hot summer's day before his family was broken. He rolled it all over his mouth with his tongue, savoring the flavor of the tiny ball of lemon. He made sure to come back to the sweet shop to buy more of it in the near future.
Minerva McGonagall received a brightly wrapped package on her doorstep early that morning. She sat on her chair by the window overlooking the sea, taking the note from the package to read it.
"For a wonderful school year done and cheers to another. Albus D."
