A case of cancellation of magnetic fields is observed during the decay of a small active region. Three different sources of information were simultaneously used: high resolution magnetograms, chromospheric Ca II filtergrams and transverse velocity fields. A magnetic structure is apparently dragged to the network by the supergranular velocity field while it splits into two. There, they meet another structure with opposite magnetic polarity. After a period of coexistence, the magnetic pairs vanish, leaving no trace of either magnetic or chromospheric structures.
