Chapter Eighty-Six: Slip Away When You're Done

Harry and Ron couldn't help but exclaim, and then when they saw who the figure was, they let out another exclamation-

"Maple!"

"It turned out to be you, why didn't you take the train and drive over, do you think our train is not enjoyable and exciting enough?" Maple quipped.

"Don't mention it," Harry and Ron said as they told Maple about their bad luck being stopped by the wall.

"And then you just drove over? Why don't you wait for Mr. Weasley and them to come out, they'll always figure it out for you.

And Harry, don't you have owls? You can ask Hedwig to deliver the letter for you! As long as you explain it clearly, being late for a while will at most miss the opening banquet, and it will not make you expelled. Maple said.

"Ah, we didn't think of that at all." Harry and Ron bowed their heads in shame.

"By the way, you drove the car away, did you leave any news for Mr. Weasley to tell them?" Maple asked again.

"Ah, we forgot." Harry felt even more guilty that the Weasleys had been so kind to him, and he and Ron had forgotten to leave a reminder when they drove away. Ron immediately had a look of fear on his face at the thought of the look on Mrs. Weasley's face when she saw the car was missing.

"Okay, you guys should have had enough fun, now it's time to go down with me!" Maple said.

"Go down, how do you go down?" Harry asked, confused.

"By the way, how did you get up?" As soon as he thought of something, the frustration on Ron's face was immediately swept away, and he turned to say excitedly, "You have mastered the illusion shift!" โ€

"Hmm!" After seeing Maple's affirmative answer, Ron's face immediately showed an expression that seemed to be adoring.

"What is Shapeshift?" Seeing Ron's excitement and Maple's unfathomable expression, Harry asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You'll find out right away! Harry, take all your stuff and grab my arm. Hold on tight and don't let go of anything! Maple said.

"Are you going to show our retinue?" Ron said with an even more excited expression on his face when he saw this.

The moving target was a little more troublesome, but Maple had already let his patronus bat fly to the compartment where he and Hermione were on the train, and the frost blackened the view on both sides, but it was just right, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered.

"Apparition shifting!" Ron lowered the car from the clouds and caught up with the red train, allowing it to fly lower. Sensing the direction of his Patronus, Maple immediately cast the Apparition Shifting Charm.

Harry immediately felt heavy and suffocated and unspeakably uncomfortable, but he remembered Maple's reminder and grabbed Maple's arm and didn't let go. After a brief moment of darkness and discomfort, Harry was surprised to find him and Maple in the familiar train.

Before Hermione could ask any questions about their sudden appearance, Maple apparitioned and disappeared in place again. Seeing this scene, Hermione was not interested in asking Harry what happened for a while, her eyes were fixed on the place where Maple had disappeared, and her expression was longing. When she practiced the spell before, she suddenly heard a snap, and then Maple's figure disappeared, and this time she finally saw the whole process of Maple's disappearance.

Hermione was surprised and envious, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart-

How many spells did Maple learn from her?

After a while, there was another snap, and Maple appeared in the cubicle with Ron, who was also carrying a heavy suitcase.

"It's smoky!" Before Hermione could speak, Maple immediately cast a smoke spell, creating a thick fog in the chamber that obscured everyone's view. Before Harry could understand, Maple pointed to the glass of the cubicle and chanted another incantationโ€”

"Frost lifted!"

"Alaho Cave Open!" Maple had just apparitioned and locked the door with a spell.

"What's going on, is this a fire?" As soon as the dark curtain that obscured the view disappeared, the students in the adjacent cubicle immediately saw the smoke filling the Hermione and Maple cubicles.

"No, it's a spell I practiced, sorry to scare you." Maple said as he cleared the smoke with a dispel charm, then apologized.

"Harry, Ron, you're there too!"

"yes, hello, Terry!" Harry and Ron greeted the students who had come in, and they didn't need to be reminded, they knew what Maple was using the Smoke Charm for.

With the smoke spell under cover, no one cared that there were suddenly two more people in Hermione and Maple's compartment.

"I just saw that your spell is wonderful, why haven't you been assigned to Ravenclaw?" Typical Ravenclaw, who believes that all smart people should be Kitty Hawks.

After talking for a while, Terry quickly turned to the wands that Maple and Hermione had used to practice their magic.

"You say this, it's Ollivanders' new practice wand, after the spell is recited, the magic will not just be cast, but the wand can evaluate the magic you cast. Depending on the level of magic you cast, red, cyan, silver, and gold will appear. If you want, you can write to the Ollivander store and buy it, this kind of wand is much cheaper than the real wand, the most expensive is not more than a galleon, and the cheapest can be bought for a few silver sicos. Seeing that he was so interested, Maple advertised a new product for the Ollivander store.

"yes, that's great, I'm going to buy one too!" Terry said happily when he heard this.

Harry and Ron were hungry, and the cart didn't know if it hadn't come yet, or if it had come, and when Terry and the others left, Harry simply took the money and went directly to the driver to buy it.

"Car, by the way, what about my dad's car?" It wasn't until the others had left that Ron suddenly thought of this question and immediately asked Maple eagerly.

"Close your ears and listen!"

After blocking out the hearing of the people outside the cubicle, Maple spoke: "When it gets tired of flying, it naturally stops." โ€

"But," Ron was about to say something, but Maple immediately interrupted, "that car is a problem now, throw it away, or it will cause trouble for your father." โ€

Seeing Ron's puzzled expression, Maple reminded again, "Have you ever thought about how much trouble it would cause him if it was your father's to let people know that the car belonged to him?" โ€

"No, it won't!" Ron didn't think about this serious problem, and then defended: "It won't be discovered, there is an invisible device on the car." โ€

"Really? So how do you say I found you? Maple said, and Ron was immediately speechless.

"Erin, come here!" Maple beckoned to his owl, and then said to Ron, "Write to your parents quickly, and remind your father before anything serious happens, so that he can find a way to settle it." โ€

"I hope your car isn't discovered by the Muggles, or you'll be in big trouble!"

"Ahh Ron had a big mouth, he didn't expect this stubble. He was about to say that the car was invisible, and there was no problem, but when he remembered that when the car had just taken off, the invisible booster had a problem and they had to hit the button several times to make the car disappear, and Ron didn't know if the Muggles had seen their car.

Ron quickly finished the letter and sent it to Maple's owl to send it away.

By the time Harry arrived with a pile full of food, Ron was in a state of distress and had no appetite at all, just drinking some pumpkin juice and not being able to eat anything.

When Harry found out what had happened, he felt guilty, and finished the rest of the journey with the same bitter melon color as Ron.

Thankfully, not long after getting off the train, Ron finally received a reply from his parents, in which Mrs. Weasley scolded him severely. Fortunately, Ron and Harry didn't come to the school in the car in the open, letting everyone know that they did it and that there was room for redemption.

Mr. Weasley's Ford Anglia was an ordinary old car, it was hard to spot that it was owned by the wizard, and after Mr. Weasley cast a flight spell on it, this was the second time that Ron had let it fly, except for the time when the Weasley brothers drove to pick up Harry at night. So after receiving Ron's letter, Mr. Weasley hurried to deal with the root of the matter, and finally there was no danger that no one could trace him down.

"Thank you, Maple!" Ron burned the letter as soon as he read it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Maple with a grateful face.

"You're welcome!" Maple said that he was happy in his heart, because from Harry and Ron, he had gained seven or eight points of academic excellence.

After entering the second grade, they walked a different path than the first-year students, and after walking a short distance, they saw more than a hundred carriages waiting there.

"Are we going to ride in a carriage?" The car was clearly parked for them, but Ron was so suspicious because he only saw the carriage, but not the thing pulling it.

"Maybe the car is magical, and it can drive autonomously." Hermione guessed.

"What are you talking about, aren't they pulling in front?" Maple pointed to the air in front of a carriage and said, "More than a hundred, it's spectacular!" โ€

"What did you say, there's something in front of the carriage?" Ron and the others stared carefully at the front of the carriage, trying to widen their eyes, but they could only see the air, which made them lose their voices.

"Can't you see them?" Maple wondered.

Didn't you already know about Thestrals? Just pretend!

I have to say that this guy Maple has more and more potential as an actor, and he has brought his acting eyes open and talking nonsense to the fullest!

"That's a shame!" Maple said regret on his lips, but his face was happy, as if he had encountered something that only he could see made him feel very proud of it.
