Course it was a good point. Józsua's expression softened as Addi laughed, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. S'better.. He felt a little better for the distraction of conversation.
“So.. you got your future all planned out?” He picked up his fork and started playing with it. Everyone seemed to have a good plan for the future. Everyone except he and Olly... but there was a strange comfort in not being alone there.

........She squeezed Józsua's hand right back, and just nodded a bit, taking a moment before she spoke to make sure she didn't cry or anything. Nope. Good. "S'all good." she said, grinning. "Our shortbread business is still on the cards for when I still can't figure out what to do with my life, right?" It better be.
But he caught Derry in his peripheral vision and his eyes followed hers to.... then widened as he looked back at her. He was half tempted to kick her under the table for that.. but he wasn't the violent type--pacifist here, yea?
“Merlin, Derry..” He mumbled. Still... that thought had been planted now and it wasn't a bad one. Not at all..
He actually managed a proper smile at the mention of the shortbread business.
“We'll make a good team. You do all the baking and I'll just watch... an'... oh.. eat the profits.” The former seemed to be the way their past baking sessions had gone.
"Great business plan." Mhm.. Gringotts would surely fund this venture..
And....
oh no.. the speech..
SPOILER!!: The speech

"But rest assured that the rest of the wizarding world is fully enjoying their June, and after tonight, you will be too." She faked a smile for the students.
"As always, we have a few goodbyes to say this term, some to our friends, some to our departing professors, but we also have a few congratulations! Congratulations go out to Gryffindor on their successfully winning the House Cup, and to Slytherin on winning the Gobstones Cup. Congratulations to us ALL, also, as no one died or aged this term."
She almost said 'or was injured' but a glance at the staff table reminded her that that wasn't true. So, with those announcements, Bunz led the tables in a round of applause.
"One final announcement: please be careful going out to the carriages, and seventh years, if I were you, I wouldn't risk being bold and stupid and taking the boats across the icy lake to the train station. Just take a carriage. It's still cold outside, WE KNOW, but we're working on it."
And that was that. Speech given, the food had appeared and the Headmistress hurried back to her seat to grab something warm.
As much as Józsua hated waiting around... especially when there was food involved, he had been hoping time would slow right down today. No such luck. He really didn't have much of an appetite.. but he would force himself to eat.. or take a doggy bag--
yea... great idea. This was the last time, after all, that they would be able to sample the elves supreme cooking.
He looked back at Addi and Derry once the headmistress was done.
"Hey, you reckon anyone would notice if I kidnapped one of the elves from the kitchen?"
