Chapter 95: Parting and Promises
With a whoosh of green flames, the fireplace in Nero's Ravenclaw manor roared to life.
A blur shot out from the emerald blaze, stumbling forward with all the grace of a drunk pixie.
"BLOODY FLOO NETWORK!" Ember cursed as she barely caught herself before face planting into the marble floor.
She steadied herself against the nearest armchair, huffing in irritation. "One day, I swear, I'm going to hex this infernal thing out of existence!"
Before she could collect herself, the fireplace flared again, spitting out Lilith and Alaric almost simultaneously.
Unlike Ember, both of them landed smoothly, stepping onto the carpet as if they had merely walked through a door.
Lilith arched a delicate brow. "Still struggling with Floo Powder, Ember?"
"It's a death trap!" Ember fumed, brushing soot off her tunic.
Alaric snorted. "It's just you."
Ember turned, looking like she was seriously considering throwing her dagger at him.
Before she could, however, the three of them noticed Nero standing there, watching them with a calm expression.
