* If Merula stays in the Circle of Khanna, she states that Penny has been exceedingly friendly to her and that it's causing everyone else to be kinder to her too. First-years are no longer terrified of her and people actually want to talk to her. It's clear that this is the best Hogwarts life Merula has had since her first attendance. It's also heartwarming to see Penny going out of her way to make Merula feel welcome, despite deciding to stay neutral in the vote.

** Part of the reason she does is that she knows the Player would have done the same thing for her, especially if they had done her side quests and helped her get over her fear of not being able to depend on others.
** Knowing that the Player's mental state isn't so good due to the stress and terror of losing their dear older brother, Chiara arranges for the ''entire'' Circle of Khanna to at the Three Broomsticks to help cheer them up. Literally ''everyone'' shows up to help cheer the Player up, even the prickly Ismelda. Even though everyone wanted to have a year where they didn't have to worry about 'R', they realize that letting the Player shoulder all the burden wasn't that great either and are willing to put aside their own excitement & goals to help the Player deal with 'R' again.
*** Although Merula's friendship with the Player hasn't been so stable, she shows up genuinely to give them emotional support. She isn't really up for talking, but the very fact that she helped the Player find what they need and showed up to the gathering means that she really did care.
-->'''Merula:''' This isn't about chasing 'R' down. It's about supporting [Player] and Jacob. The Circle of Khanna is supposed to be there for one another in times of need.
*** Diego inviting the Player to dance for a bit, to get their mind off things. And in the activity, the Player, Badeea, and Diego are all seen dancing together.
*** Barnaby had tried to bring a Niffler to cheer the Player up, but couldn't as it belonged to the ministry. On the other hand, Tonks is still excited about Auror training with her hero.
*** Jae Kim, who had been with the Player during most of their experience at St. Mungos, is quite happy to get out of there, though admits that he's starting to miss [[CharacterDevelopment helping]] [[HiddenDepths patients]].
*** Fred and George, second years at the this moment, somehow sneaked out of Hogwarts to attend the gathering, offering for the Player to participate in their next greatest prank.
*** Beatrice sympathizes with the Player for having such 'troublesome' siblings, but admits that they aren't so bad.
*** After fading from the limelight, seeing Tulip come back to relevance after being mostly absent from the main story for so long is a great feeling. In fact, it's almost lampshaded in her dialogue.

While he is less enthusiastic about actually becoming a Healer, he is starting to at least appreciate the work.

* In the Patronus sidequest, both the Player and Merula are having trouble summoning their patronus due to underlying angst, despite having happy memories to draw their power from. Tonks takes the time to talk their feelings out in a [[BigSisterInstinct big sisterly]] sort of way.
** The Player indirectly [[ItsAllMyFault blames themselves]] for the Dementor showing up and putting everyone in danger. Although the remark was a little backhanded, Merula tells Player that they aren't responsible for someone else's actions.
*** One of the choices for the Player's happy memories is of their brother coming home from his first year of Hogwarts and trying to teach them all the spells he had learned. The Player was likely only about a toddler at the time, so it must've been a very heartwarming (and adorable!) memory for them to still remember it as a teenager.

-->'''Tonks:''' That sounds like a precious memory, (Player). I'm sure it'll create a powerful Patronus.
