Max ran over to the fireplace and started barking. "Max! Come back here!" Alaina shouted and Max ran back to her, still growling. "Sorry, I really don't think he's ever seen anyone come out of the fireplace before. Neither have I, for that matter. I'm Alaina, Celistine's friend."
A thundering of footsteps was heard on the stairs. "What the hell was that?" shouted Alaina's dad.
"Mom, Dad, this is Celistine's mom. She's come to get me. She came by floo powder. I've told you about that before," Alaina told her parents.
"Uh, nice to meet you, Mrs. Darker," Mrs. McMann said as she extended her hand.
"Er, right, yeah, nice to meet you," Mr. McMann said, clearly he was still shocked that someone had appeared in his fireplace.
