Magic Carpet Slide

[Minnie Pendergast]

4th July, 1887
Wizarding World Market

The crowd’s at the Wizarding World Market were so dense that Minnie found herself wondering alone without even noticing that Ivy had been waylaid or otherwise distracted some distance behind her; if she had become aware she might have hesitated, waited for her friend, and thus escaped calamity. But of course she did none of these things and the moment Minnie’s eyes had alighted upon such a gloriously fantastical thing as a magic carpet she had been drawn to it like a moth to a flame.

At first it had been charming, floating like a broom but looking considerably prettier and more ladylike and, foolishly, she had allowed herself to be talked into taking a small ride. Just a hover really. A brief life off the ground and then to be set down and grinning she had agreed.

Only to find herself hurtling through the air on a rogue magic carpet that clearly had a vindictive whirligig for a mind.

“Help!” She squeaked unheard over the crowd that was rapidly parting for her, with the exception of one unfortunate gentleman who she crashed into and suddenly found herself sharing a carpet with. He was not on quite as stably as she was though and instinctively, to save him from falling, she caught hold of his shoulders to steady him.
