"Ah...right..." Nathaniel smiled, then blinked. Wait....boyfriend and boyfriend? How had that suddenly happened? Well...it's not like he was strictly opposed to the idea...just...surprised. Less than 24 hours ago Harry had been a blank slate after all, no real memories to speak of at all, and even now his head was a jumbled mess of fragmented half-memories. Well....maybe this would just help things along as a happy side effect.
When the paper landed on the table infront of him, Nathaniel picked it up, then had to hold back a gasp when he saw the picture and the first part of the article. It was no surprise that Harry being missing had been reported....9 days...so that was how long he had been gone for....but what had been going on in those 9 days? The more Nathaniel read, the whiter his face became, the greater the sick feeling in the pit of his stomach became....how could someone be capable of such...such cruelty? These muggles...they'd have been right at home with the Dark Lord....these kinds of extreme practices were the kind of sick torture he enjoyed right?
Though what made this worse....the fact that these were Harry's family....how could they treat someone related to them like this? How could anyone treat anybody like this? It was sickening....
Still....the Ministry were looking for him...though from the sounds of it not so they could help him recover. No....no informing them of Harry being here was the worst thing right now surely. That most certainly couldn't be allowed to happen. No....Harry needed time to recover, to get a hold of himself.
"Hm? Ah!" Nathaniel quickly lowered the paper when Harry spoke up, tucking it away under the table. "N-no...I'm fine...just...hungry...that's all" He grinned as best he could, then licked his lips. "Breakfast smells really great! How about we eat and then we can get to some more practice hm?"
