Mathias takes Tino aside for a "talk".

Betrayal and deep rooted plots have led to a different outcome of the second war than many expected. The Dark Lord rules supreme, Dumbledore was defeated and slain, his followers hunted down and slaughtered or imprisoned. The Light seems to have been overcome by darkness... but resistance is a flame that may be rekindled when the time is ripe...

It is only when he meets sign language teacher Liz, her husband Roderich and their strange, chaotic group of friends that he begins to truly live and enjoy his life. Love, loss and coming of age in a world that is often unkind to those who are different.
