"I swear I think I was sorted into the wrong house. Nobody over there likes me." he said glancing at the Grffyindor table with a frown.

The flourish of someone sitting across from the two Ravenclaw girls caught Lasca's attention. It was Nathaniel and since he hadn't greeted her she simply gave him a polite nod. At the mention of the Headmaster she went back to watch the events unfold as students went up and were talking to the professors.
Mariel shook her head.
"No, you're a definite Gryffindor," she told Nathaniel, wondering where this self-doubt was coming from. Narrowing her eyes and frowing slightly, she said,
"What do you mean no one likes you? I'm sure whatever it is, it's just a misunderstanding." Mariel never knew Nathaniel to have such low self-esteem. Something weird must have happened at his table.
"Well, you're welcome to eat with us if you want," she told him, gesturing to the food. She was sure no one would mind as the different Houses often mingled. Glancing quickly at Lasca, Mariel noticed she was observing the staff table again. Looking in that direction herself, her eyes lingered on the several new faces there, wondering who was teaching what, and how the classes would be different this year.
