Fudge was his weakness. Nathaniel still had a limp from falling out of that stupid tree.
Looking back at Freya"Okay Freya okay." he said not intimidated by her at all. "I trust you but I know that you only share bits and pieces of things with me.." he said softly. "Chocolate frogs aren't that bad or like gum. How old are they?" he asked unsure if she'd tell him. "I should get some things for my siblings and my nephews." he said adding some Chocolate frogs to his pile.
He looked at both girls and tried to read their minds.. yea that'd totally work. He didn't know anything about girls.. besides that Freya was a softy and was hiding it. "Do you girl's want to go to do you want to go to Madame Puddifoot's after this?" he said with a smile."My treat..." he added.

Oh brother, she'd want books, parchment, lab materials...animals. Anything but candy really...and pink things, ew.
"Hello, Mariel." Freya said to the girl with a slight nod in greeting before turning back to Nathaniel. "If you think I'm not going to pay for my own drinks, then you're wrong. But I suppose I could go for a little while." 'Give me some time to brainstorm...'
Mariel narrowed her eyes at Nathaniel's mention of something called 'granola.' She wasn't exactly sure what that was, but granola sounded like grainy, and that just reminded her of dirt and rocks, so it didn't sound like anything good. At least not good to eat.
She nodded approvingly to herself as he picked out all kinds of different sweets. That was more like it. As she watched, she noticed that he was walking kinda funny.
"Are you... limping?" she asked slowly.
"Everything ok?"
The Ravenclaw girl had to think for a moment when Nathaniel mentioned Madame Puddifoot's. What was that place again? Oh, right... a tea shop. She had never visited that place last term.
"Sure, I can use some tea," she said.
"I need to stop at Scrivenshaft's later, but other than that, I had no plans. And that's very kind of you to offer, but no need to treat me, I can pay my own way." She always had a hard time accepting gifts and money from others, especially when she had enough money to spare.
Again unable to wave due to her armload of sweets, she simply said,
"Hi Freya," when the older girl addressed her. Not wanting to eavesdrop on her conversation with Nathaniel as it seemed a bit personal, Mariel walked up to the counter and spilled out her candy in order to purchase them.
