About 2 weeks have passed since the first day at Hogwarts, Angelo has gotten used to the schedule and his new classmates, some are still afraid of him, but he just ignores it, focusing his time and attention on Betty, Tonks, his Ravenclaw classmates, and a boy he helped on the first day of school against Merula, who Angelo discovered that his name is Roderik Steelarm, a Gryffindor freshman.
Angelo begins his way, this time alone, to the potions classroom, as he would need to prepare a welldone Wiggenweld potion, checking all his notes to see if all the necessery ones were with him, but suddenly he feels a push from behind, falling to the floor and losing the grip of his notes, making them fly away.
"You didn't think I forgot that day, right mudblood? You're lucky to be allways around that stupid Betty Black." Merula says smirking, Angelo turns around, still on the ground, and Merula points her wand at Angelo's face. "Either you beg for mercy, or I will cast a charm that will make you extremely confused." She says, Angelo is not intimidated at first, but remembers how strict Snape really is, but Angelo can be more wise than Merula think.
"You don't really think I'm going to beg to someone like you, right?" Angelo says confident, with a smirk, Merula gets angry and says. "Confundo!" She says, launching the charm directly into Angelo's mouth. "Next time, don't challenge me Mudblood." She says, grabbing Angelo by the collar, Angelo doesn't feel his mind confused. "YoUr ShUt MoUtH" He says in a completely random order, making Merula laugh and go to the potions classroom.
Angelo gets up and dusts off his clothes, and also walks to the potions classroom, when he gets there, Roderik and Betty are already there. "Angelo, you're late, what happened?" Roderik asks, Betty looks at him to see if her friend is okay, to which Angelo just discreetly points to Merula, they understand that he bumped into Merula, but they still don't know what really happened.
"Use the class time to put into practice everything you have been taught about the Wiggenweld potion, without notes, just by memory." Professor Snape says, and the students begin to prepare their potions, some are doing well, others passably, but the ones that would be considered the best, are Angelo, Betty and Merula's potion, who sat diagonally from Angelo.
Snape walked behind the students checking if their potions were acceptable, being impressed with a decent amount of students, Angelo needed just a little more flobberworm mucus, going to get it and coming back, he noticed that Merula was smiling a little more than normal, but he shruggs it off.
Finishing the potion, Snape approaches to check if everything was ok, when he was about to give his opinion, Angelo's cauldron starts to shake, scaring him and his friends, and then the cauldron cracks in an explosion, causing the liquid to spill out. of the potion leaks and goes to waste.
"I don't know why I put expectations on you Sangueevar, look at Mrs Snyde's potion, impeccable and without risk of exploding." He says in a derogatory way, leaving Angelo embarrassed, but also uncomfortable with something, since there weren't much ingredients to add, there was no way to make mistake, and when he looks at Merula, he notices that the evil smile was bigger, so he understands it was her doing. "Anything to say in your defense?" Snape charges, Merula knew the spell's effect was still active, but Angelo surprises her.
