Angelo continues his studies as always, managing to impress Professor Mcgonnagol and Professor Snape, now learning more about Herbology with Tonks, and also attending extracurricular runes classes, learning a lot from Roderik and the teachers.

The months were calmer than last year, noticing that Merula completely stopped getting involved with Angelo, but he noticed that there was still a nasty look on her face in potions classes, so he was always careful.

Angelo continued his classes in October, Tonks was still looking for someone capable of being a good tutor in duels, knowing that the teachers would not like to know that the students would be practicing without supervision.

He was walking alone through the corridors of the West tower, towards the courtyard to rest after a tedious class, until suddenly he felt a strong push on his shoulder, as he was pushed against the wall, and was pressed against it so that he couldn't escape.

Looking from below to understand who did this to him, noticing that it was a female body with Slytherin colors, Angelo already imagined it to be Merula Snyde, and then he looked at her face, surprising himself at being a girl with right green eye and the left one was covered by an eye patch, scars on her face and neck, red hair with a ponytail and slightly reddish lipstick.

"Who... are you?" Angelo asks fearfully, seeing the intimidating presence the girl demonstrated.

She looks Angelo up and down, as if she were studying the boy, and shows a disappointed look when looking into Angelo's eyes.

"I thought you would be more imposing Sangueevar." She says, getting even closer to Angelo's face, to an uncomfortable point.

Then she hits the wall with her other arm, near to Angelo's ear, and he then notices that her right arm was a wooden prosthesis.

"I-I still don't understand what you... want with me." Angelo says, now even more afraid.

"That annoying girl in the common room kept muttering something like 'Damn Sangueevar, I'm not going to let you throw in my face how you saved me in Azkaban.' so I took an interest in this and came after you myself." She says with a sickly smile, as if she's staring at a prize, now inches from his face.

"So you found out about Azkaban from Merula herself? I don't even want to remember that place anymore, she..." Then the girl puts her finger in front of his mouth to keep him quiet.

"Don't think I'm friends with that spoiled brat, I was just interested because no one left Azkaban alive... but here you are." She says, now giving Angelo some space.

"Okay... I still don't get it what you want from me, not to mention I don't even know your name." Angelo says, still a little uncomfortable.

"I'm Morwenna Maelstrom, and what I want is a challenge, a duel with a real wizard, and you're a must for me" She says, licking her lips, now making Angelo embarrassed and uncomfortable.
