"We're here for you." Corinne corrected Allegra.

Scipio hesitated before speaking. "I never told you about my father, did I, Allegra?" He said in a smooth voice, keeping his eyes on the book so the others wouldn't see the tears pooling in them again.

After receiving no response, Scipio continued. "Well, he's in Azkaban. Death Eater. A servant of the Dark Lord himself." He said bitterly, his knuckles going white from how tight he held onto his book.

"Oh, man. That absolutely sucks." said Corinne, "How long has he been in there?"

"Since I was five." Scipio's voice cracked. Stop it. Stop crying. You're weak.

Corinne saw that he was upset. "It's okay to cry, Scipio. Never be afraid to cry. You will feel better after a good cry. It works for me." She reassured, and she chuckled softly.

Despite Corinne's assurances, Scipio still refused to let himself cry. "The main thing that landed him in there was killing a man. A muggle, I think. I don't remember his name."

Corinne's eyes widened. "Um, what is your father's name?" she asked nervously, taking her wand out and fiddling with it.

"Vito Massimo." Scipio said quietly, flipping the book pages absently.

Corinne dropped her wand. She jumped up, a tear leaking out of one eye. She pulled a portrait out of her pocket. "Is this…" she broke off and swallowed. "Is this…the man who, um, your father…killed?"

Scipio looked at the photo and froze. "Y-Yes, why… why do you…?" Why does she have a picture of that man?

Corinne picked up her wand. Then, she aimed it at Scipio's face. "My father was not in a car accident. He would never, he's such a careful driver. My father was murdered, murdered by your father. So for your personal safety, stay away from me." She shoved the portrait back into her pocket, and jumped on her broomstick. She flew away.

Scipio stared at her wand in shock with his eyes wide, the tears he had been holding back rolling down his cheeks. When she left, he broke down, drawing his knees up to his chest and hiding his face in his crossed arms as he sobbed. This is why I don't tell people! This is the exact reason I've kept quiet all these years! He was shaking, and seemed to have forgotten that Allegra was there at all.
