Angelo Sangueevar, the boy that at almost 15 years of age, realized his father's funeral with his dear friends. When the event ended, Angelo remained on the edge of the lake, staring at it. Some were worried, but others knew that Angelo needed this quiet time.

His friends came closer and stop next to him, without saying a word, just the company was enough, they noticed something, Angelo smiled, as if he was satisfied, then the silence is broken

His friends came closer and stop next to him, without saying a word, just the company was enough, they noticed something, Angelo smiled, as if he was satisfied, then the silence is broken.

"Thank you... For helping me so much... If there's any way I can repay you... I will." Angelo says looking at his friends, who smile back.

"Paying with half of your fortune sounds great." Betty says mockingly, which is met with looks from her friends, then she starts to laugh.

"I think you can help us study this year, huh? After all, the O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s are coming, and I WANT to secure my position as an Auror." Tonks says confidently.

"That's great, I'll help you with the subjects, just tell me which one and I'll try to help." Angelo says smiling.

"But Angelo also has to prepare for his O.W.L.s." Merula says, and the others agree.

"Well... Helping others will still be a lesson to myself, so it's okay." Angelo comments, and she agrees.

"Shall we go in? Dinner should be ready soon." Roderik suggests, going first, Betty walks right behind, then Tonks and Morwenna, the Weasley siblings, leaving Angelo and Merula still at the lake.

"Aren't you coming?" Merula asks, slightly worried about him.

"Just a minute... The breeze is nice." Angelo says, closing his eyes and stretching out his arms, to feel the wind better, and Merula chuckles slightly, admiring him.

"You've really changed... Compared to the first year... You were so scared, you looked like a lost puppy." Merula says laughing slightly as she remembers the first year.

"And you looked like a peacock... Allways exclaiming around saying you were the strongest witch... Even though you were a first year." Angelo says laughing, which makes Merula look at him with defiance.

"At least I didn't cry all the time and run into Tonks' arms." Merula says with a slightly mischievous smile, but without malice.

"I didn't need to pay Tonks to keep me company," Angelo says with the same smile as Merula, remembering how her friends on the first year were just paid rookies.

"Yeah, well... At least it wasn't a relic from my family that put us in danger." Merula says, approaching in a slightly intimidating way.

"If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have been reunited with your parents." Angelo says, also approaching.

"Yeah... At least... I helped you in several of Snape's classes." Merula comments proudly.

"And I at least... I told you I loved you first." Angelo says blushing, but still confident, which makes Merula blush too.
