SPOILER!!: Alice

Joshua considered his seat mate; Alice’s statement, how likely was it that a Hogwarts professor was a squib? Not very, but the famous caretaker Filch had of course been one. He decided then and there to let it be. He didn’t know Alice well enough yet to know if she was being truthful with him or not. Tagging on to her Wales response though he said with a nod. "Yes I detected a little Walesish accent. I’m from Scotland myself."

The entrance of two dripping wet men that followed shortly after caught Joshua’s full attention and interest as they came up onto the dias. They older man looked battered and gruff and was that a metal arm that he had? The younger man took the vacant divination professor seat without uttering many words of greeting. But what had Joshua becoming slightly shocked and perplexed was the letter the elder chap presented to Regina that made her without so much as a word leave the hall. Why? What was going on? Was she just sacked?

Joshua’s mind buzzed with questions as the old man took Regina’s throne for himself without much preamble or explanations to the staff and then stood to face and speak to the students ordering them all to stand for his headmaster speech. Oh my, flaming flutterby bushes, what did this Scrimegour chap want and how could he just take over the running of Hogwarts, just like that? Was it the BOG that had decided this?

Joshua silently rose, his face expressionless with those around him on the dais looking out at the students as Scrimegour got into his speech. Hearing the words such as ’improvements’, ’change’, ’total compliance’ among others sounded right omnious to him. Joshua didn’t trust this Scrimegour guy at all for one second and why should he? Scrimegour was a complete stranger. But he got the instinct impression that it was best to wait and see what happened and not get on the guy’s bad side on the very first night.

Sitting down in his seat as a wonderous buffet of food appeared Joshua helped himself to a little of everything before he turned his gaze to Haraldur. "So Haraldur, have you played Quidditch professionally?"

"I do live in Wales, sir, you are most perceptive," she purred, and this part was true. Joshua considered his seat mate; Alice’s statement, how likely was it that a Hogwarts professor was a squib?
