	Cyrus looked at the green flames with no small amount of trepidation. While he had seen his father use the Floo Network many times, he had never tried it himself. "Well, here goes", Cyrus muttered himself as he stepped into the roaring fire. "M-Ministry of Magic, Main Entrance", he shouted. Suddenly, Cyrus was spinning like a top, green flames licking around him as he whizzed from one fireplace to the next, getting small glimpses of each parlor beyond. After what felt like an eternity, Cyrus fell dizzily onto a cold stone floor.
