"Yea, my sister is an amazing witch. She's one of the few that were in Ravenclaw. She lives in the States with her husband and such.... I really miss her. My father is a fellow Gryffie. I hope that I can make the House team next year... but who knows if they will need a seeker.. All of the other positions sounded dull to him... well except Beaters.
Nate didn't think he was sounding mental. He saw the look Mariel gave him. "I didn't mean anything by me saying I was with Sophia. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You're a pretty girl." he said hoping not to sound like anymore of a mental case than before.
Nate jammed his hand into his hair. "I have NO idea! It's been changing weird colors this week and It's NEVER done this before. It's really freaking me out". Nate had never heard of any one having this happen to them before. He was weirded out but didn't know who to go to about it.
"
I don't blame you, Arithmancy is quite difficult, but I do like to challenge myself. Charms is more my thing." Mariel frowned a bit as Nathaniel named his favorite classes.
"I was a bit lost in the Herbology lesson, but I plan on studying my notes to do much better in the next lesson. And Muggle Studies... Not taking that one. I'd be hopelessly lost there. But the other three you mentioned do sound interesting, especially Potions. I'm really looking forward to that one."
Mariel looked up with interest as he mentioned his sister.
"Have you visited her in the States? I've never been there. Actually this is the furthest I've been away from home." Not really homesick though. More of an observation.
She then gave him a knowing look, as if she were the expert on Quidditch.
"Not that I have much experience, but from the tryouts I went to, it seems as if they retry the whole team every year. So the seeker this year, might not be the seeker next year." She shrugged.
"You never know. Me, personally, I'd like to play chaser. Beater sounds fun too, although I'm not sure I'm built for that, but I think I like the idea of hitting things," she added with a bit of a smirk.
Did he just call her pretty? That was a bit unexpected. Although she figured that he was just trying to be nice after the whole weird girlfriend topic got started. Completely unnecessary, but she still loved compliments.
"Oh, thanks. No, you didn't hurt my feelings at all," she said with slight surprise.
"I'm not interested in you that way anyway. I'm really not looking for that kind of thing right now. I hope I'm not being too blunt. I don't mean to be rude." Which was true, this time. She did have a way with her blunt honesty that often came across as rude and often did not care one way or another, but for some reason she found that she could actually have a decent conversation with this boy and didn't want him upset with her again.
"Actually that part of the conversation is a little silly and beginning to make me uncomfortable, so let's talk about something else... like Quidditch, school, or your hair."
Squinting her eyes, she gave Nathaniel a considering look.
"I kinda like you in blue," she teased,
"Shows a bit of Ravenclaw pride, yeah?" She had to stifle her giggles when she saw that he didn't find his condition all that amusing.
"Maybe someone played a prank on you?" she offered.
"Have you seen the nurse about it? Maybe she could help... or at least tell you what's going on there."
