Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch Excitement was certainly in the air. He had overheard the buzz coming from the portraits as he made the trek down from his office. Tonight was the night the students were arriving, and Joseph himself was looking forward to the occasion and starting his own journey at Hogwarts.
The former Cairo WU professor entered the Great Hall, seeing it for the first time with the banners, plates, cutlery, and goblets neatly set. It was quite a sight, even the stormy night sky displayed overhead was something to be mesmerized by. He couldn't help but look around as he casually strolled beside one of the tables. The place certainly wasn't like Beauxbatons, but it was still quite magnifique all the same.
"Hello, everyone," he addressed those that were present the moment he stepped onto the dias, a pleasant smile on his face. When his gaze fell upon Malachi, he gave the man the additional greeting of a polite dip of his head and stifled a chuckle (he'd leave it to Dolly to do all of the kissing).
Joseph then made his way over to his seat, the first on his side of the table, and his bright blue eyes looked out to the empty tables that would be filled mere moments from now.
