Thank goodness the kiddos were not there as yet to witness this mini showdown. Though one could not say it was much of that as the geranium, now back, tried to make a snack of her. Biting back another shriek, her chair was pushed back as she hastily sprang to her feet. “Joshua. WISHART,’’ she said through gritted teeth and backing away from the table.
MERLIN!
The man was frustrating! Quote:

The quickly moving Miss Stewart pulled his attention from Kalen. He shook his head at the prank. “Immobulus” he called out with a flick of his wand, freezing the plant, then with another flick, he levitated the plant and deposited it before Joshua. “Thank you. I have spent several years playing the guitar, but singing has never been a love of mine. It appears you are a gifted prankster and I believe you owe Miss Stewart an apology.” His tone was light as he wasn’t sure how well the two were acquainted. It was possible such behavior between them was normal. “I trust you are alright now, Miss Stewart?” He gave her a concerned look. Quote:

She expected that nonsense from the children that would be filling the four long tables, not the adults that were meant to teach and set an example for them. The woman felt sorry that Alice had to be in the middle of all of that "Get rid of it this instant, and your antics against Kaysha end today."
Her head turned, her eyes back to remaining focused on the door. She took note that Ignatius had arrived, as did both Gaston and Haraldur. She greeted both the Potions master and her Deputy Head with a pleasant 'hello.' As for the Flying instructor, she figured she'd start some smalltalk with him, when he returned to his seat of course. It didn’t take many moment’s before he heard give off another shriek and then say his name with emphasize on his last in a very angry tone. Joshua had a moment there when he observed to himself that Kay actually looked quite beautiful when she was worked up over something, in this case his plant. Joshua opened his mouth to reply to Kay when Foster deposited old Albert, his fanged geranium back onto his plate with a very meaningful advice about apologizing to Kay. And before Josh could do more than gently stroke his now upset fanged geranium, avoiding the fanged teeth with experienced hand the Headmistress Hawthorne also decided to voice her strong dislike about his antics which he labeled as childish.
Looking down at his fanged geranium he sighed and mumbled under his breath as he stroked the geranium on it’s head with affection. "I'm sorry Albert. This was a though crowd to play with. You have to take a nap in my suit pocket. You’ll get something tasty to eat later, I promise." And with that Joshua deposited his potted plant down into his left suit pocket.
Standing up he turned to Kaysha and apologized. "I'm very sorry Kaysha, truely. I hope you can give forgive me, I had completely forgotten that you are terrified of geraniums." Which was an outright lie, but he didn’t need to voice that to all his colleagues including the Headmistress.
Extracting his wand Joshua produced a bouquet of yellow roses which he levitated towards Kay saying "I hope you can accept these yellow roses as peace offering?” Turning around to face Headmistress Hawthorne he bowed his head and put his hands behind his back as Joshua apologized to her. "I’m sorry headmistress Hawthorne for my antics. I promise it won’t happen again and I will act more like what’s expected of the teaching faculty." Sitting down in his seat again he thought better of suggesting that they named the whomping willow the Hogwarts school tree, since there was no plant.
Turning to look up the table at Foster at the end Joshua said "I followed your sage advice Foster from earlier. I can’t sing or play an instrument myself. I wouldn’t call myself a gifted prankster at all either. I just like pulling an occasional prank now and then." And Kay was someone that he liked to irritate, and he knew it was mutual. In any case he looked forward getting to know Foster better. SPOILER!!: Tristan Quote:

At that next question Tristan grimaced a little, "You could say that." It was more than just a fire unfortunately but he would have to fill the other man in at another time. "Of course. Not a problem. My last lesson is over at three, I can come then." He said with a small smile and a nod, wondering what in the world a Herbology Professor would need help with creatures for. Joshua poured up some water into his goblet and took a sip before he turned his attention to Tristan making big eyes at his response. "Wow 5 years, that’s a long time. But I agree it’s fantastic to be back and to teach full time for the first time." His teaching at the plant school had been on a substitute basis. Tristan’s grimace didn’t go unnoticed. Joshua would inquire more about the fire later, it was clear that there was more to learn than what the Daily Prophet had written. Smiling Joshua said "Great, I’ll await you after three tomorrow then in my office." SPOILER!!: Gaston Quote:
Originally Posted by MadMadamMalfoy "Good evening, everybody," Gaston said, making his way to his seat. His heart sank as he saw he was one of the last to arrive. Great... disapproval from Regina Hawthorne was the last thing he needed with everything else on his mind! He gave the headmistress a polite nod of acknowledgment, as well as a nod for each of the new staff (Alice, Foster, Josh, & Katrina). "Good evening Gaston!" Joshua greeted the charms professor and deputy head as he came up on the dais with a small smile. The man didn’t look exactly chipper for the moment. SPOILER!!: Haraldur Quote:
Originally Posted by potterobsessionist ”Good evening, colleagues…” He hummed as he dismounted his broom. ”Regina, good evening.” He pulled out his chair next to the Headmistress but before he sat down, he did a quick detour. The new Herbology and History of Magic professors got a nod and a smile each before he lingered by Kaysha and Noble. The groundskeepers entrance was quite eye-catching Joshua had to admit to himself. Riding up to the staff table on a broom was hardly custom but considering that none of the senior staffers seemed to care much he figured that it was something that had happened before this night. As the older man sat down next to him Joshua greeted with a smile. "Good evening Haraldur, did the first years arrive all right?" SPOILER!!: Alice Quote:

Gym instructor is used to describe a person who teaches physical exercises, usually within a building with exercise equipment. It is a Muggle term. I am a Squib, which is why I was given control of extracurriculars not involving magic. Are there many Squibs at Hogwarts, Mr. Wishart?" She pondered his question for a moment before smiling and nodding. "I learned to love Romania, though it was not my home country. I must say it is good to be back." Joshua had at least made one of his colleagues chuckle. A start of term feast goal that he could check off. Listening to Alice's explaination of what a Gym Instructor did in the Muggleworld he thought it a weird occupation but everyone needed to exercise in some way he reasoned. Shaking his head responded slightly thoughtful. "No, I'm sorry Alice. I haven't met many squib's in my life and I don't know if there are many here at Hogwarts either since this is my first year to teach here." "Oh, if you're not from Romania, where are you from? Wales?" Joshua wondered. It was plausible at least since Alice had gone to Hogwarts.
