Chapter 9: Flying to Hogwarts
On the last day of summer vacation, Mrs. Weasley conjured up a sumptuous dinner.
Everyone gathered around the table with joy, sipping on the delicious honey pudding, while watching Fred and George's laborious fireworks display, which they had apparently improved and were not in the shape of the leaflets, and scattered orange, red, and blue stars scattered all over the kitchen, bouncing between the ceiling and the walls for at least half an hour.
At ten o'clock in the evening, after the last cup of hot chocolate, Mrs. Weasley rushed to bed.
Because he was sleeping in the same bed as Harry, Evan could feel that the other party was turning over all the time, which made him sleep extremely unsteadily.
The next morning, Harry woke up early, looking bad.
"Aven, I dreamed last night that I had turned into a big snake, and anyway, this dream is terrible!"
"Harry, you're just too nervous because school is about to start. Evan let out a big snort.
"I hope so, and hopefully everything will go smoothly today. Harry said.
His wishes apparently backfired, and after breakfast, everyone rushed to pack up like headless flies, Mrs. Weasley rushed around looking for spare socks and quilts, always colliding with the twins on the stairs, and Mr. Weasley, while carrying Ginny's suitcase to the car, tripped over a chicken in the yard and nearly broke his neck.
Finally everyone got into the car, Mr. Weasley started the engine, and the car drove out of the yard. In less than half an hour, they had turned back and forth three times, and by the time Ginny finally climbed into the car, it was late and the people were already in high spirits.
By the time they arrived at King's Cross Station, there were five minutes left before the drive.
"Alright, boys, we're running out of time, get through this wall as quickly as possible, and be careful not to be noticed by Muggles. Mrs. Weasley nervously looked at the wall clock and commanded, "Percy first!"
When Percy entered the platform of the Nine and Three-Quarters platform, Mr. Weasley took his luggage and followed, followed by Fred and George.
"I'll take Ginny with me, and the three of you will follow. ”
After Mrs. Weasley finished speaking to Aven, Harry, and Ron, she grabbed Ginny's hand and walked forward, disappearing in an instant.
"Let's go through it together, it's only a minute. Ron said.
"Okay, what should we do?" Evan hesitated, he had planned to follow Percy the second one, but who knew that because of the luggage cart, he was a beat slower and was arranged by Mrs. Weasley to be with Harry and Ron.
If memory serves, the wall should have been sealed by Dobby.
"Aven, you follow me, don't be nervous, just like I told you before, the platform is behind this wall. Harry explained, "If you're scared, you can trot for a while. ”
In fact, he and Ron did. A few feet from the wall, they ran and slammed into the wall with great confidence.
Ai Wen hurriedly closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to see the two of them unlucky, and it looked like it hurt to hit the wall at their speed.
In the next second, as expected, the two cars crashed into the partition wall and bounced back.
Ron's box slammed to the ground, Harry was knocked down, Hedwig's cage bounced off the shiny floor and rolled aside, and Hedwig screamed in rage. Many people gathered around them, and one of the guards next to them shouted, "What the hell are you doing?"
"The car is out of hand. Harry gasped, clutching his ribs and getting up.
Evan ran over to pick up Hedwig, where she was still screaming, causing many onlookers to say they were cruel to animals.
"Why can't we get by?" Harry asked Ron in a whisper.
"I don't know!" Ron walked over and quietly pushed against the wall, "This has never happened before, we won't be able to catch the train!"
"I don't understand why the passage was sealed by itself"
Harry looked up at the clock, and he carefully pushed the car against the wall, pushing it with all his strength, but the wall still didn't move.
"This wall has been enchanted with obstacles, a bit like obstacles, but more advanced, and it's clear that someone did it on purpose. Evan stepped forward to check it, and the three of them couldn't crack it at their current magic level.
"Who would be so bored just to keep us from catching the train?!"
"I guess it's Malfoy!" Ron said dumbfounded, "it's over, the train is leaving, what if Mom and Dad can't come and pick us up, do you two have Muggle money on them?"
"The Dursleys haven't given me pocket money in six years!" Harry chuckled dryly.
"I didn't either, I swapped all my money for gold galleons and spent them in Diagon Alley. Evan dug into his pocket, knowing that he should have left a little.
"Well, I don't know how long it will take for Mom and Dad to come back to us, what do we do now?" Ron nervously looked around, many people watching them as Hedwig kept screaming.
"I think we should use Hedwig to write a letter to the school explaining why we were late. Evan suggested.
"Evan is right, but before we do, we should go back to the car. Harry tried to calm Hedwig so that she could calm it down, "It's so noticeable here. ”
"Harry!" Ron exclaimed, his eyes lit up, "the car! you know, that car was modified by my dad, and we can fly to Hogwarts!"
"Ron, this isn't a good idea, we can't use magic outside of school. Evan hurriedly shook his head, trying to persuade the other party to dispel this thought.
"Come on, Aven!" Ron's eyes lit up, "We're trapped, aren't we? We have to rush back to school, don't we? In a real emergency, young wizards can also use magic, and the Restrictions Act is still the 19th or the first paragraph."
"Will you drive?" Harry suddenly turned from panic to excitement at Ron's explanation.
"No problem, I've seen Fred and George drive many times!" Ron said, turning the car around towards the exit, "Let's go, if we hurry, we can still catch up with the Hogwarts Express." Especially you, Aiwen, you have to go through the sorting house this year, which is the most important thing for the new little wizards, and we can't be late!"
"yes, Aven. Harry agreed, "It would be scary to think about not making it to the sorting ceremony." ”
"Going to school in a flying car is a really scary thing. Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of the two people, Evan followed weakly.
After Harry and Ron made up their minds, he found that he had no choice but to cooperate, and at this moment, Evan missed Hermione immensely, and if she was here, she would definitely be able to stop them.
Evan didn't have this ability, especially deep down, he also wanted to see a flying car, but he couldn't be happy when he thought about the outcome of this incident.
They would be seen by Muggles, Mr. Weasley might lose his job, and for a new student, Evan was unsure of the impact of his unusual approach.
"Guys, I think we should" Evan was making a final effort.
"Aven, hurry up!" Ron didn't wait for him to finish, and started the car with his wand a little, "Harry, take a look at if anyone is paying attention to us. ”
"No, there's no one on this street. Harry stretched out his arm and dragged Evan in, who was standing outside the car.
The next second, Ron pressed a small silver button on the dashboard. Their car is gone, and so are the three of them.
Evan felt his seat vibrate, he could hear the sound of the engine, and then he found himself floating in the dirty street full of cars.
"Take off!" Ron shouted.
The ground and the filthy buildings on both sides sank and were out of sight for a moment. The car rose higher and higher, and in a few seconds, the whole city of London was beneath them, smoky and faintly shining.
