Five years later, the Magro family were living quite happily. Just after she turned sixteen,
Dora approached her mother nervously and confided a secret she had long kept: she had entertained a crush on a werewolf who had recently arrived in town.
Alvise Aiolfi was a quiet and shy young man, and
Dora had found a close companionship with him. A year after
Dora admitted to her crush, it was
Alvise who approached her father, stuttering and quite frightened. He had meant to ask for
Dora's hand in marriage, something the entire family found apparent, and
Romolo finally decided to spare him the nerve-wracking and give the answer before the question was even properly asked.
Alvise was very relieved, the jitterbug he had became soon dissolved as his fears were consoled, and the following spring the Magros celebrated the marriage of their eldest.
Candida and
Lea were very much delighted to be in a feast, and would happily scurry around replacing flowers and entertaining the guests with what magic they could do.
Alvise and
Dora were nervous about their new life, but were optimistic that they will face the challenges together.
It wasn't long before more romance seemed to bloom in the family. With their eldest sister wedded and very much in love,
Silvio and
Taddeo seemed to have seen it fit to tease each other with the prospect of romance.
Silvio loved to bother his younger brother with allusions to a certain girl
Taddeo was friends with and asking when he will propose, and
Taddeo would blush violently and helpfully point out that
Silvio himself isn't betrothed, either. The amount of teasing, and his almost-flamboyant behaviour in general led some of
Silvio's friends to suspect that he "swings the other way". But everyone received quite a shock when
Silvio came forward and introduced his soon-to-be-betrothed - Yvaine Hier, the village beauty and seer's daughter. Everyone, that is, except for
Taddeo, who was naturally the first to recognise his brother's developing feelings.
While
Lavinia wasn't so sure about
Silvio getting engaged so young, she had given her consent to his marriage with Yvaine, with the condition that they wait at least two years before marrying.
Romolo was supportive of his son's recent engagement, and although
Dora found it highly amusing,
Candida,
Lea, and
Vittorio were much too puzzled to make much sense as to why everyone in town seems to be wondering and chuckling at their brother's engagement.
Taddeo still ribs his brother occasionally, mentioning his getting "all lovey-dovey", but now
Silvio is happier than ever to reply that while he's found his bride,
Taddeo still hasn't. But
Taddeo doesn't care much - he's yet to be fourteen, after all, and has lots of time.
