As long as it wasn't on her and she wasn't getting in trouble. And Dani was also apprehensive about Hogwarts, which seemed appropriate to Mariel as she figured the younger one was a first year. Most firsties probably felt that way, although she didn't remember feeling quite so anxious.
Glancing up at her, she said with a shrug, "I don't think you have anything to worry about. Looks like you've already made some friends and term hasn't even started." Unless she was hiding some deep, dark secret. Mariel watched her with eyes slightly narrowed contemplating that thought before shrugging yet again. Even if she did plenty of people did as well, Mariel included.
Turning towards Nate, the third year said, "So is Nate short for Nathaniel? I have a good friend called Nathaniel, but he likes to go by Nate. I don't call him that cuz I like the name Nathaniel better." She looked at him appraisingly as she tilted her head. "I can call you Nate though. I can't have two Nathaniels. Too confusing," she added, more to herslef than to anyone else as she subtly shook her head.
Then she looked over to Lacey as she spoke. Smiling in return, she nodded in agreement. "Yes, I know. Lasca is one of the nicest people I know. I knew we'd be best friends when I first met her." She looked at the older girl for a moment as she realized she hadn't seen her around school. "What you are you in? You aren't a Ravenclaw are you? I don't remember seeing you in the common room."
Ohhh and then topic turned to Quidditch! Yay! But of course what Lasca said made her blush, and this time it wasn't because... um, nevermind. "I'm really the Keeper," she told everyone with a nod. "I just got to fill in as Seeker once during a game last year." And even though that was exciting, she felt more suited for Keeping. But she'd gladly take whatever position Willow thought she was best at.

This day had turned out to be excellent and she couldn't wait to see what the rest had to offer. She was getting hungry but didn't want to eat anything large. The feast that awaited them would be reward for her time spent waiting.
She glanced out the window to check their progress and couldn't help that her eyes strayed to Nate. They tended to do that when he was around.

She turned back and smiled at Mariel. "I want to try to play Quidditch. My friend Ari said I'm too small though." She had so many questions about Quidditch but didn't know what to ask first.

She also noticed while she was saying it she was playing with the three stone diamond ring, on a chain aroung her neck, with the words 'Love Does Last Forever ~Alex' carved on the inside. "Uhh.." She couldn't think of what to say, this wasn't going to be a good thing.
Nate couldnt help but to laugh at this girl Mariel. She was a ball full of energy it seemed. "My real name is Nathan but i dont like it.. too.. proper for me so i go by Nate. I think it fits a little better to be honest." he said with a smile and started twirling his wand once more.
The conversation turned to Quidditch and Nate nodded. he liked playing but just not on a team. He preferred it better that way. "I play beater.. or well i play better when i play. Im not a team kinda player. I just randomly play when i feel like it" he said nodding. It was true. Scheduled and practice after pracite.. not his style.
Fiance? Had Nate really just heard that. His eyes went directly to lacey as she started talking abtou her fiance. Goodness.. Nate couldnt even imagine himself being marrieed better yet than thinking about it. It was something he would want to do, yes, but at such a young age? She was what.. two years older than him? Impossible! Nate meerl sucked in his breath with a sort of a grimace. There was nothing to be ssiad about it.
His eyes diverted to lasca soon though, they seemed to always do that but he forced them away.. he couldnt be constantly staring at her. They went to Dani wh was sitting quietly in the corner staring out fo the window. Balling up a piece of paper he chucked it at her. "Alright then?" he asked the first year with a smile.
