Angelo was in a hurry, he woke up earlier, so he could prepare himself for Professor Snape's class, increasing his pace towards the classroom, he unfortunately bumped into the person he considered most unpleasant at the moment.

"Hello Sangueevar, do you want another charm for Professor Snape's class?" She asks, smiling mischievously, looking around to make sure there aren't any teachers around.

"Merula, will there be any day in the future, that we'll deal with each other in a healthy way?" Angelo asks bluntly, which causes Merula to laugh slightly.

"Do you really think that speaking in that tone will make me let my guard down?" She asks, moving closer and placing her wand against his throat, this time he doesn't get scared.

"Let your guard down? You talk as if i would attack you at any moment." Angelo comments confused, and Merula's gaze becomes irritated, there was something that Merula was thinking.

They both hear footsteps and Merula runs to Professor Snape's classroom, who ironically was the one coming down the hall, Snape looks with disdain at Angelo, by seeing him outside the classroom, Angelo then follows him, arriving in the room together.

"For the delay, I guess that you bumped into the despicable Slytherin." Roderik comments, noticing that Angelo had arrived with the professor.

"I heard that Steelarm." Merula comments, irritated by the way Roderik called her.

"Good, it really was for you to listen, maybe it might sink into your head as constructive criticism to become a better person." Roderik comments seriously, looking straight into Merula's eyes, who becomes even more irritated.

"Are you okay Roderik? You seem more angry than usual" Angelo comments, worried if something has happened to his friend.

"I'm fine Angelo, just with some... concerns." Roderik says, wanting to avoid to say that his biggest concern was that one of the inscriptions on the box they were studying, was the word "torture" in Romanian runes.

"Anyway, I brought some sweets Angie, do you want one? You just need to eat it without Snape seeing." Betty says, noticing that Snape wasn't looking, and then eats a piece.

"Yeah, but Merula saw it." Angelo comments pointing at Merula, who looks at Angelo with a confused look.

"I may want to ruin your lives, but I would prefer more creative ways than just reporting to the teacher." She says, as if this had affected her honor, or something like that in her view.

Then Professor Snape makes a sound as if he was clearing his throat, to attract the attention of all the students, who look at him carefully.

"Pay attention because I will only explain it once, the potion of fortitude, or potion of strength, is capable of expanding the physical abilities of whoever drinks it..." Snape begins to talk about the ingredients used to create the potion, along with a little of the story of the potion.

Angelo then had a slightly proud smile on his face, as if he had won an important game of chess or something similar.

"Now you're the one who looks weird Angelo." Betty comments, gesturing to her own mouth, to emphasize how he's smiling, especially in Professor Snape's class.

"You'll see." Angelo comments, still paying attention to Snape's words, and after a few minutes of taking notes, Angelo, who had already separated the necessary ingredients, begins to prepare the potion, impressing even the professor.
