Nate just listened as she spoke, really trying to understand what she was feeling and going through, giving a little nod. His mom sometimes got that look at him, like she knew something was happening, but Nate wouldn't tell her the truth of it. He took a deep breath as she spoke of wanting to fall a...

Nate just listened to her, his hand shoved into his pockets as he didn't really know how to respond. He didn't know what that kind of pain was truly like. He'd never experienced anything like it. But he felt he needed to help...somehow. "I know many people would try and throw out the sentiment ...

Hearing her reaction made him wish maybe he wasn't so direct for once, but he didn't know how to be anything but at this point. Lying usually only made things worse. He shifted his feet, still standing by the door in case she decided she did want him to leave, though seeing how she was... and was th...

Nate looked at her as she stood, not having expected her to rise, though Rachel had waved much more enthusiastically when she'd seen her, "Just don't... worry too much about it. If something comes of it great, if it not... I'll figure something out. I always do," he muttered. When she told...

Nate looked as she opened the door. Shit, well there went getting away before she saw him. And then there was what she was wearing and the lack of explanation for why he was there, and she'd get to see a side of him that he rarely ever had happen- flustered, "N-No, I-I don't mean to intrude, I....

Nate gave a grunt of sorts to her initial comment about everything being a dead-end, but as she began to spin some ideas, he looked up at her, giving her his full attention as he usually did. More so now because she was giving some excellent options on how to get Rachel and Olly out from under his f...

He'd been wondering how to approach her once he'd learned of her brother and his crime from his father. He had been discussing possibly going to Azkaban to handle him himself, and once he'd heard that familiar last name, Nate couldn't help but ask who he was talking about. He'd never pushed Iliana t...

Nate listened as she spoke to him, looking at his hands, "I don't know... I'd say I'd follow in my father's footsteps. However, even that would still require me to have to leave to go study," he said, shaking his head, "If I could somehow get them out of there, I'd take the chance. St...

Nate frowned, and he stopped their movements as she said why she was so nervous, "Andie," he said in a soft voice, shaking his head, "You keep placing people on pedestals," he murmured, "But sometimes we're hardly worth the dirt under your shoes," he shook his head, con...

Nate listened as she read the fact about Beauxbatons aloud and tapped his finger on the table, "But it does though," he hummed, "The simplest solution would to be to find an encyclopedia about the year 1552 and see what was going on in that year. Suppose they're as thorough as they ou...

"Rachel... and Olly," Nate murmured, taking a deep breath, "Lucy avoids his attention altogether, but those two would be next on his chopping block," he looked at his hands, leaning on his knees, "I've always managed to be the one he always turned on, turned to when he...&q...

As she accepted his invitation, he shifted them out onto the dance floor, lightly placing his hands on her side. Honestly, she'd had his eye since their first group project, when she'd gotten angry on his behalf with the gossips. No one had been on his side before, most believed what the gossips sai...

Nate looked at her as she came closer, very much aware of just how close she was. When she said his name that way and then told him to ask her, he couldn't help but look a little surprised, not having expected her to react that way, but a small smirk graced his face before he offered her his hand, &...

Nate shuffled his stance a little at her question. "It's... It's not that," he murmured, rubbing the back of his head. "Not exactly, anyways," he glanced around again, ensuring no one was nearby. Hearing her talking about needing tutoring to pass her NEWTs, he gave a nod, "I...

"The fruit punch is definitely the good punch," Ryan said, "Just the right amount of fruity and sweet," he smirked, "The cherry punch tends to be really strong, and the pink ones are always a mystery flavor," he scrunched his nose, "Keep that mind," he said b...

Nate raised a brow at her lie, "Really? To my face?" he asked in a flat tone, before looking up to as he heard the shouting, his brow furrowing. He started down the hall that way, Ryan following after knowing Zeke was involved, but as they reached the stairs to go up, Nate hit the brakes.....

Nathaniel had looked over as he heard Andie confronting the gossip and watched as they paled, looking at each other, unsure of what to do. When she walked away, they slowly started to walk away. He didn't say anything for a moment as Andie vented her own frustration about the girls before he sat dow...

Nathaniel really had not noticed her approach at all and when she spoke, he jumped so hard he nearly toppled over and gripped his chest, turning towards her, "Bloody hell, Ili," he breathed, his eyebrow twitching a bit in his irritation at being caught so off guard but within a moment, he'...

Nathaniel was walking through the courtyard, seeming a bit lost in thought at the moment, not a common expression for the prefect. He stopped only when he managed to actually walk into a bush from turning a corner too soon. He glanced around and cleared his throat, straightening his cloak. He sighed...

Nathaniel listened to her response, clearly valuing not only her input but the fact she actually provided it, "I think that would be the best way to go about it," he nodded in agreement, tapping his finger on the table as his brow drew down. From her perspective, it looked like he was angr...

Nathaniel had snorted a little at the comment about the surprise invite, crossing his arms as he listened to Emily's response. He raised a brow at her attempt at a counter-argument to him and debated for a second whether he should just pick her up and carry her. When she gave him the weary look, he ...

Nathaniel looked over towards Colette as he heard her pipe in, nodding in agreement to her observation before looking back at Emily, "You can have the freedom not to dance, but if you've any desire to make yourself seem impressive to people outside of these walls, being able to not be a wallflo...

Nathaniel was making his way through the common room, looking for his siblings who were trying to escape the dance practice, when he spotted Emily in the chair, "Come on then, Collins," he said, snapping his fingers, "Going to the ball or not, a dance lesson is useful for future purpo...

Nathaniel walked into the room they were using to practice dancing. While he had some practice with it, he'd drug his younger siblings into the dance space so that they could learn. He found a spot on the back wall to stand, leaning back and crossing his arms. As a prefect, he thought it best to be ...

Nathaniel was sitting almost as still as a statue while he waited before looking as the girl sat down, then at her books. He raised a brow before looking back at her as she started to just immediately talk. Well. At least she was using her own brain. He sat back and crossed his arms, "If we rea...
