Every few minutes or so, Serena would check the time, watching as 5pm slowly, but surely rolled around. Going back downstairs, Serena took out a few bottles of butterbeer before heading over to the living room, waiting for green flames to appear in the fireplace.
Five came and went. Ten past five, then fifteen past had Serena sprawled out on the couch in boredom. "Those two idiots probably Floo to the wrong house." The girl muttered before standing up and squatting in front of her fireplace, peering inside to make sure there was nothing wrong on her end.
Suddenly, bright emerald flames burst from the inside. Before Serena even had a chance to move out of the way, two figures came toppling out of the fireplace with a loud gasp, slamming Serena down to the floor. "Ouch! What the- what happened?" Serena groaned as Ramona's duffel bag smacked her face.
Ramona Harris and Magnolia Mulberry hurriedly rolled off their friend, brushing themselves off as they stood. Ramona helped Serena up, apologizing profusely while Magnolia looked as if she was trying her hardest to keep a straight face.
Magnolia, the tallest of the three, had a sharp face, piercing sapphire blue eyes, and long, wavy brown hair that faded into a soft blonde toward the end. If there was one word to describe the brilliant, trouble-making Ravenclaw, it would be stunning. Though seemingly unapproachable at first due to her cold gaze and stoic facial expression, Magnolia has an incredible sense of humor, and a caring side she shows through actions, rather than words.
Ramona Harris was the shortest of the group (the two other girls towering over her by several centimeters), with burgundy coloured hair and warm hazel eyes. The Hufflepuff's fair skin, rosy cheeks, and welcoming smile always brought a sense of comfort and love to Magnolia and Serena. Kindhearted and always happy, Ramona follows the rules thoroughly, but will always be there for her friends when they get into trouble.
"Merlin's beard, I'm so sorry, Rena! We didn't mean to fall on top of you!" Ramona gave her a sheepish smile, scanning Serena as if to make sure there were no broken bones or growing bruises.
The girl only huffed, rubbing her shoulder that hit the wooden floor particularly hard. "In my experience, you come out standing straight when you use the Floo Network, not crashing into the person in front of it." She said, narrowing her eyes at her two best friends.
Ramona looked even more guilty, if that were possible, while Magnolia merely shrugged. "Well, you shouldn't have been standing right in front of it."
Iyla suddenly ran into the living room before Serena could retort, fists raised high. "I heard yelling, who's dying- Oh! Hi Nolie, Mona!" The two guests offered Serena's younger sister a smile, while she tilted her head at the state of their clothes: wrinkled and completely covered in dust and soot. "What happened to you two?"
Before either girl in question could answer, Serena pointed an accusatory finger at them. "They nearly flattened me! Tumbling out of the fireplace as if they haven't got two working legs!"
