Brig & the little sis :3 astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf If you had asked him even a year ago if he wanted to spend a whole weekend attending basically a history festival he would have told you that he would rather have to listen to Mermish out of water all weekend instead. Even Fynley would have been hard pressed to get him to come. Not only were things dripping in history just not the vibe, these settings were every shade of wrong and invasive audibly. But that was a year ago and now, by the grace of the Department of Mysteries, Joseph tolerated such spaces and may even have a reluctant appreciation for them.
An appreciation that was tested by running into a handful of familiar faces while walking around with his little sister and trying their hand at some of the games and were ignoring his embarrassing performance at Summoner's Court. Of course he should have anticipated running into his former Drama Club partner, but he had not and his ears were still ringing from the amount of jabbering she had done in response to him asking her the obligatory 'how you been?' after she had pounced on him for a hug. Had Florence been surprised to see him be affectionate with someone outside of the family and who wasn't Fynley? Saying adieu to Anna had him wishing that the plan was to meet back up with Fynley and hit the Hogsmeade main street for their busking via musical performance, but alas. Not just yet.
Still, he needed a break from the crowds and ironically stepping into Hogsmeade proper was where things were most dispersed.
"You know what you want to use the vouchers on?" he asked his little sister as they stepped into the Three Broomsticks while lightly plucking the strings on his lute which was hanging around his person by a leather strap. He hadn't been expecting much by picking up that pretend Hufflepuff goblet, but more vouchers was a pretty welcomed surprise. It wasn't like Fynley and him were rolling in money in their studio flat so any bit of saving was welcomed. "Parade ought to be coming through this section of the village in bit so we can nab a window seat if you want."
DID she like these sorts of things? Joseph was, admittedly, much closer to Sammy due to a misalignment of certain core values but with age came maturity or whatever.
