Angelo's third year was calmer than usual for him, except for Moira's possession, which he barely knew about, he ended up learning even more about his own feelings and how he felt about Merula Snyde, a fervent bully from Slytherin, even though she stopped picking on Angelo's group a long time ago, her attacks usually targeted Muggle-borns or half-bloods, which ironically Angelo was, still, Merula felt a very small touch of him in the love potion.

Now, Angelo is on the last train to King's Cross, since Bill Weasley was late getting ready, being one of the last students to return home, they both sit and talk the entire trip to the station, about his family, tips for dueling and even the best way to prepare a sandwich. Arriving at the station, in the distance it is possible to see a slightly short woman, with red hair, running towards both of them, with a look of complete concern, behind a tall man, also red-haired, holding the hand of a little girl who appeared to be between 6 and 7 years old.

"WILLIAM ARTHUR WEASLEY!! WHY DID YOU TAKE SO LONG? YOU LEFT US BOTH VERY WORRIED!..." The woman who Angelo imagined to be Molly Weasley, shouts with a clear tone of concern, lightly reprimanding his friend, but when she looks at Angelo, her gaze becomes completely sweeter and kinder.

"... It is a great pleasure to finaly meet you Angelo, was the trip back pleasant?" She asks kindly, surprising Angelo with the difference in the way she spoke to him compared to Bill.

"T-the trip was good Mrs. Weasley, Bill and I were talking about better ways to duel." Angelo says smiling shyly.

"I'm glad to hear that, shall we?" She asks sweetly, but when she looks at Bill it's with criticism, logically just because they were late.

"Nice to meet you Angelo... I actually never thought I'd meet a Sangueevar in person." Arthur Weasley says, shaking Angelo's hand.

"I guess I tend to make that impression." Angelo says nicely and laughing a little, making Arthur laugh, getting into the Weasley's car, Angelo sits behind the driver, the little girl named Ginny sits in the middle, for better access to her parents, and Bill on the other side.

"Bill told us a lot about you, he said you beat an older witch in a duel, right?" Molly says, Angelo looks slightly scared at Bill, the car starts and starts flying, Arthur activates the invisibility for muggles and drives to the Burrow.

"I-I don't know... What are you talking about, Mrs. Weasley." Angelo says slightly nervous, thinking it's about the day he killed the dark witch in the black forest.

"Wasn't Angelo the one who defeated a third-year girl while he was in his second year, Bill?" Arthur asks, looking at him through the rearview mirror.

"Yes, it was, dad. I think Angelo got so used to being her friend that he ended up forgetting about the duel." Gui says, laughing slightly, noticing the reason for Angelo's answer, covering him up.

"It's an impressive feat, Angelo. Have you ever thought about becoming an Auror?" Arthur asks, driving the car through the clouds.

"Depending on the case, they need to... kill the dark wizards, right?" Angelo asks, wary.

"It's a difficult act to take someone's life, yes, but considering what that person can do or has done, it ends up helping on the deed... But I myself couldn't handle the pressure." Arthur says.

"It's hard even to think about that too... But if it's just to arrest someone, I would be an Auror." Angelo says, more confident now.

"If we have you as an Auror, the Death Eaters won't stand a chance." Bill says, contentedly, showing pride in his friend.
