Chapter 531: Realistic Beating
After the disappearance of Harry and Ron, there is no one who worries more than Percy.
Although it wasn't his fault, as the oldest Weasley kid in school, Percy had a responsibility to take care of his mischievous younger brothers and sisters.
Originally, this was Charlie's responsibility, but Charlie had already graduated from school, so this responsibility fell to Percy.
He hadn't forgotten to use the owl to send a letter to his family, telling them that Harry and Ron were missing.
However, Percy didn't know that the Weasleys, who had just returned to the car from the platform, were shocked to find that their old Ford had been stolen.
The Weasleys never imagined that someone would steal their Ford.
The Ford car had been enchanted so that the average Muggle wouldn't even notice it, let alone try to steal it.
As for saying that the Ford car flew away on its own and killed the Weasleys, they would not believe it, if it was really like that, it would have caused a sensation a long time ago.
After searching for the car to no avail, Mr. Weasley's face is full of unconcealable loss, and when they finally prepare to apparilate and return home, they receive a letter from Percy's owl, learning that Harry and Ron are not on the train, and guessing who secretly drove the Ford!
"How dare they...... Do that!"
Mrs. Weasley clutched the note Percy had sent, gritted her teeth and turned her head to look at her husband, grumbling, "It's all your fault, I told you a long time ago, don't indulge them, don't indulge them, it's good now, they actually stole the car and prepared to drive to Hogwarts by themselves, I have never seen ......"
"Alright Molly, Harry and Ron will be fine. Mr. Weasley took a deep breath to calm his emotions, he looked at the empty parking space with a gloomy face, put his arm around his wife's shoulders and comforted, "Let's go home first and wait for news!"
Mr. Weasley really couldn't have done anything better, and once the car was in the sky, they couldn't have found Harry and Ron.
As for whether the two of them can reach Hogwarts safely, Mr. Weasley is not worried at all, and he will definitely not get lost if he flies with the train.
It's just that Mr. Weasley feels that he might need to go back and prepare a little bit just in case.
"Either way, this time I'm going to have to give Ron a hard beating. ”
At this moment, Ron, who was fantasizing about himself falling from the sky in a car and stopping on the lawn in front of Hogwarts Castle to greet the envy and jealousy of the whole school, had no idea what fate he was about to come.
They were still following the Hogwarts train in the clouds, and Fred and George below, startled by their bold speculation, were opening the window and trying to poke their heads out of the window to find Harry and Ron following the train in a Ford car.
"Don't look at it, even if Harry and Ron did ride a Ford to school, they wouldn't have been seen by you, they would have been flying into the air or invisible. Albert looked at Fred and George, who were trying to poke their heads out of the window, rather speechlessly.
"Oh, yes, Dad's Ford car can indeed be invisible. George muttered.
Looking at Fred and George's appearances, it seems that they feel lost because they were not able to travel to Hogwarts School in a Ford car.
Albert looked at it and shook his head.
After lunch, the group got together and played a few games of wizarding cards, and for the rest of the day, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan took turns asking Albert about his trip abroad.
Albert, who was annoyed by the question, began to pretend to be drowsy, casually perfunctory to the three people's inquiries.
As they approached the school, there was another knock on the carriage door, and Hermione came for them with a daily Prophet's report.
"The Ford Anglia could fly, and Muggles were amazed. Fred took the Daily Prophet and whispered the headline: "There are two Muggles in London, convinced they saw an old car flying over the post office building." ”
"I remember your father worked for the Division for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items, right?" Albert asked suddenly.
"Is it really Harry and Ron?" Hermione's face was very ugly, she didn't expect Harry and Ron to deliberately miss the train, they were actually playing such an idea.
"The Eight Achievements are theirs. ”
"How dare they ......"
"Perhaps, it's to show off!"
"Then again, your brother is a cheat. Albert took the newspaper, read the headlines carefully, shook his head and said, "I think the two of them are still proud!"
Hermione's face was even more unsightly.
"Now, being fined must be indispensable!" Lee Jordan said.
"Fifty to a hundred Galleons, about that. Albert closed the newspaper and handed it back to Hermione, reckoning, "If I hadn't been specifically targeted, I wouldn't have lost my job." ”
"Of course, Harry and Ron shouldn't be expelled either. Albert said to Hermione, who had an ugly face, "After all, Dumbledore is very fond of the savior, and if he were someone else, he would probably be really unlucky." However, it is estimated that the deduction of points and confinement is indispensable. ”
The envy and jealousy on Fred and George's faces were all replaced by astonishment.
"Do you still envy them now?" Albert asked, looking sideways at Fred and George, smiling.
The two shook their heads in unison, according to Albert's analysis, they both knew that Harry and Ron, who were sitting in the Ford car and ready to be in the limelight, were going to be unlucky.
"It's unbelievable. Hermione muttered and walked away, she couldn't believe that Harry and Ron would do something stupid like that.
For the rest of the journey, they didn't talk much more.
The train finally slowly approached the Hogsmeade platform, and as Albert and his buddies disembarked with the crowd, many students were heard whispering about someone coming to school in a car.
There is no doubt that many students think this is so cool that they are the ones who want to take the bus to school.
The expressions on Fred and George's faces became more and more complicated, and if it weren't for Albert, they would probably think the same way!
"First-year students are here!"
A familiar voice came from not far away, a burly game keeper, beckoning to the panicked freshmen, ready to take them through the traditional ritual of crossing the lake.
The rest of the students rode in the Thestrals to Hogwarts Castle at night.
Behind the winding Thestrals, a Ford flew across the lake, over dark greenhouses, vegetable patches, over the lawns outside Hogwarts, and crashed headfirst into the trunk of a beating willow.
There were no expected cheers from the students, no envious and jealous gazes, and some were just enraged beaters. Harry and Ron, who had not yet been beaten by the harsh reality, were beaten hard by the branches of the beating willows.
The two people who had just escaped death no longer had the excitement of riding in the car at the beginning, some were only dazed and afraid, and they didn't know what they were about to face.
