Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Joshua arrived later than usual to the feast after having escorted the first years across the windy lake through the cold and pouring rain of the September evening. The boat ride had gone pretty smoothly except for some should we say hiccups. The groundskeepeer/Herbology professor quickly made his way across the hall and up to the dias where he could see that many of his colleaguesm and their new headmaster was already seated.
Heading for his assigned seat, Joshua rounded Joyce’s seat and Noble’s vacant one before he stopped behind Kaysha momentarily to shrug off his moleskin coat and water filled cap. He had hung his coat over one arm and was turning his cap over to wring out the water when all of it by accident poured down over Kaysha’s head. Perplexed at what he had done he blurted out an apology to her. "I'm so sorry Kaysha, I didn’t mean to do that. It was a wet boat ride across the lake." Taking out his wand he quicky cast the hot air charm to dry up both himself and Kaysha’s hair.
Walking the few short steps down to his seat in between Amelia and Alice he hung his coat over the back of his chair after shoving down the cap into a pocket. Sitting down Joshua smiled all around at his colleagues "Good evening everyone!"
