Getting rid of Eleanor Murray was not ever going to be an easy feat. No, Josh's mother was one that would not be pushed from her pedestal without a very, very good push. Josh was tired of her being a bother to him already in the summer holidays, so he had made his way to Diagon Alley to get away from her. Though the hour he was here would be nothing in comparison to the month's holiday he had booked her on.
Leaving him completely at peace for the rest of the holidays until he went back to university.
The holiday could not hold any more grandeur if you picked up the Murray estate and located it in another country. After signing the paperwork and watching the clerk stutter and shake his whole way through the ordeal, Josh had stood, ready to leave the Merlin forsaken place.
However, upon standing something had bumped in to the back of him. Turning ever so carefully, Josh found himself face to face with a witch clumsier than any he'd met. Well, perhaps not any, but clumsy no less. Raising his eyebrow just a fraction at her profanity and then apology, Josh shook his head merely once. "It's fine." He replied shortly, tucking his papers in his pocket and drawing his wand, more out of habit than need.
"Accio papers!" He said firmly, and a pile of paperwork came to hand. "Here." Josh continued, thrusting the paperwork towards the witch. "Watch where you're going next time." The words were not the usual humorous words of someone who'd just been bumped in to, oh no, the words fell flat in that moment, because Josh didn't have the time for this, nor did he particularly care for the witch to be careful for her own sake.
