Random thought whilst reading other Potterfic - Foxboy - 10-17-2015

At some point I can easily imagine Doug commenting about Delores Umbridge:
"What's with all the 'hem,hem?' Are you part of the Ankh-Morpork Seamstress' Guild? I... really can't see you making much money if you are...."

I would think the Seamstresses' Guild would take Umbridge ... er, umbrage with such a comparison.

Heh. Well it was either that, or consistently rising hemlines on Doug's robes until they're effectively a Boy Scouts Kerchief.
Kind if like Don Mattingly's "Sideburns" confusion on The Simpsons.
