Nat often worked the night shift when nobody else did. She had no family at home to be responsible for, had no reason not to when she could easily sleep during the day in her quiet townhouse and other people had other obligations to take care of. Besides it was often quiet, their more long-term patients usually the only ones to worry about. Sometimes she even did night shifts in the emergency ward, just to change things up and keep her on her goes.

Last night had been quiet in Magical Bugs and she'd spent most of the evening making potions and stocking up some of their more-often used remedies and antidotes. That was the other thing she enjoyed, getting to work on that end of things. In fact, it had been quiet enough, that Nathalie didn't feel like going home to her equally quiet home yet either, so instead of flooing into her own parlor, decided to see if Phyri was awake yet. It wasn't odd for her to come in to breakfast at the Dempsey table and she hoped that her presence was never a nuisance, so she didn't do it often, but she would have much rather had some real human interaction before she truly became some sad spinster shut in.

It wasn't as busy at the breakfast table as she would have though and with no Phyri in sight yet, she settled in with some tea and a small plate. She wondered what the staff thought of her sometimes-presence, but since nobody had ever said anything, she wasn't going to worry about it too much. Curious to know what was going on in the world, Nat picked up the paper and the first thing that caught her eye was the article on some suspicious candies in Diagon Alley. "Oh I'm glad I'm not in the Potions ward, those candies will be hard to figure out even with samples." She said mostly to herself; surely the chocolates had to be some potion, right? Maybe a charm? Still not her department and for that she was glad. It would be a nightmare to figure out.

When Mr. Dempsey exclaimed something in response, Nat folded the paper down and looked at him. "Oh dear," was all she had in response. Maybe she would be taking a look after all.
