Nathaniel had sauntered in quietly, taking in the newly-decorated sight of the common room, giving the professors a polite nod in greeting, then moving to the food table. His housemates were chatting among themselves, but he felt no need to join in a conversation, at least not yet. His first priority was food and drinks.

The butterbeer was an easy choice, but he considered his sweet and savory options before selecting a few licorice wands. There were others he considered grabbing but decided he'd come back for more later.

Once he found a seat and set his mug and snacks on a table, he leaned back in the chair, relaxed as he surveyed the room. What the reason for this meeting was, he did want to know, but he also figured they'd find out soon enough. The Bloody Baron showing up suddenly was interesting, though. Nathaniel gave him a nod in greeting.

And then the meeting was beginning, though only with a question about house pride rather than the reason for the meeting. Hmm.

Nathaniel took a sip of his butterbeer as he listened to his peers' answers. Results, pride, success, loyalty, ambition, strategy... Yeah, those were good. He didn't really disagree with them. But how would he answer?

He raised his hand. "It's about confidence," he said. "Not arrogance, but the kind of confidence that says you know who you are and what you want, and you're determined to work toward achieving it no matter what external factors come up or what other people say."
