Prompt:The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion. -- Doris Lessing
For whatever reason, an older character ends up babysitting for or traveling with a child or adolescent. Suggested Characters/Pairings: McGonagall with Rose Weasley; Sprout with Neville's son; Flitwick with Teddy Lupin, Hooch with Scorpius. Theme/Tone: anything but crack!fic Additional Info: Have all the fun you like inventing reasons for the meeting -- maybe the child really doesn't want to go or is nervous, or the adult is reluctant/feels out of their depth , or they both find themselves accidentally thrown together (a broom accident or an injury or getting lost at the Quidditch World Cup).
Mods, I'm not sure if this prompt fits the fest, since the children/teens will have a major role and of course are not 50+. I'm happy to remove or revise the prompt if it's not acceptable as is.
