She gestured to where the flying official had previously sat. Carter's presence would be a nice buffer between herself and the pink thing that was so 'nervcided' she was surprised it hadn't peed itself. Yes, Josh should join them for dinner. A happy, well-fed security guard was a good security guard, yes? Yes. She would give him a moment to decide before giving her speech.
Was he hearing a [s]Professor Bunbury[/b] Headmistress Truebridge calling his name? Yup. He smiled at hearing her calling his name again because...apparently...he had missed that. He turned at the woman with his small smile and in a moment was really "tempted" by her offer.
Sitting at the staff table with professors like a professor.
Wow. Surely, when he had been a Gryffindor boy, he sometimes wondered what it was like to be sitting at the staff table but he never really thought experiencing that and finding out would be possible for him for his entire life. Now there the headmistress herself was inviting him. He was torn between being, kind and pleased, accepting it and keeping his spot to keep watching everyone being on his duty.
Yet, who was he to return an invitation from Mistress Truebridge? No one would think he was not doing his job properly just because he sat down once and joined a feast? Plus it was not likely that a mass murderer or a bloodthirsty dark creature or the no-Quidditch man or else would break in during the feast and threaten everyone. One night of a feast wouldn't hurt. Then he would keep guarding everyone day and night.
"I would be very pleased, Headmistress, thank you." the auror said finally deciding he would join the feast. Evelyn was never going to believe that got to sat at the staff table. Holstering his wand, the young man went to the seat the headmistress had indicated. The one that was next to her and...the overly cheerful blonde woman in pink dress.
Just when he attempted to sit down...something happened.
He was the blond man in suit fall down with his chair and jumped on his feet. What was that now? He suspiciously eyed the people around. Eh...it was probably a student, a pranker who was apparently so daring that it could make the former Gryffindor, the king of lions, feel not so bestowed with the said characteristic.
He thought of going over to help the man yet he already helped himself up and, apparently, had to leave so Josh sat down and looked around.
It felt really different to be sitting at the staff table. With a smile, he watched the Gryffindor table. He had things to ask to the headmistress however he didn't want to disturb her now if she was getting ready to give her speech.
