Angelo and Tonks go through the door created by the portkey, they find themselves in another alley, but different from the one near King Cross, getting out of it led to a street with houses very similar to each other, Angelo smiles and looks at Tonks.

"See how easy this is?" Angelo comments smiling.

"Indeed, when you get older, try to travel the world with this key Angie, I'm sure you'll love Japan." Tonks comments smiling, the feeling of fear was completely left behind.

Angelo then leads the way to his house, the neighborhood was beautiful, with snow covering the street, grass and roofs, along with decorations that left the neighborhood completely lit and beautiful.

Tonks looked in awe at so many decorations, even though she had a Muggle father, they had to live in a place where Muggles had less access, so that Andromeda could continue to use her magic calmly without neighbors.

"It's so beautiful here, and it feels so calm." Tonks comments smiling at the scene.

"And it really is, that way is the school I went to before Hogwarts..." Angelo says pointing to a street.

"I wanted to cast Incendio on it." He says pretending to be angry, and Tonks laughs lightly.

"Was it that bad there?" Tonks asks.

"Horrible, for some reason the boys kept picking on me... i want to do as Merula and give them hell." He says and Tonks laughs.

"Funny Angie, for someone who doesn't like Merula, you can't seem to stop thinking about her." Tonks comments, and Angelo looks at her confused.

"Now that you said, you're right... In fact, this whole year I have a lot of things happening on my mind, such as being able to talk to my mother, the new classes... and Merula." Angelo says a little more sadly when he mentions her name.

"But what happened? You've been like this since the end of the last year actually." Tonks says, a little more worried about her friend.

"I've already told you an important secret... I think I can tell you this one too." Angelo says, he looks around and goes towards a stool, where he sits, and Tonks sits next to him.

"Well... I was worried about Merula last year and I am now too... because her parents are in Azkaban, and she has no one to spend Christmas with or go home to, she is alone..." Angelo says, looking at the snow on the ground.

"I understand, but Angelo, understand that her parents chose this path... the Snyde family were supporters of You-Know-Who, and unfortunately they were arrested when he was defeated." Tonks comments and Angelo remains thoughtful.

"But they looked so sweet... and Merula..." Angelo remembers the day, the expression in her eyes, she looked so happy, so happy even though they were surrounded by Dementors.

"Merula smiled... come to think of it now, she must have been so desperate without her parents, that she smiled so happily... even if we were in Azkaban." Angelo comments, and Tonks understands then.

"But that doesn't make an excuse to keep repressing you Angelo, and you can't just accept it either just because you found pity on her." Tonks comments, looking at him.

"It's not pity... it's sympathy, I'll never know what it's like to feel like her... but it seems like I'm the only one who cares about that Tonks, every single day she eats alone in the corner of the table, those Slytherins who hang out with her, they never eat with her, i... i really am worried with her mental health. " Angelo comments.
