.:Solid Walls and Engine Stalls:.

Harry, Ron, and I let Ginny and Mrs. Weasley go ahead of us.

"I'll go next guys. See you on the platform." I said before running ahead.

It's okay. I mean, I went right through it last time. Mrs. Weasley assured me it would be alri-

My cart collided with the wall and I fell backwards on my butt. I sat there, my eyes open in shock. Muggle were looking at me like I was crazy.

"Blaire! Are you all right?"

I nodded and took Harry's hand as he pulled me up.

"The portal must have closed up." Ron concluded.

"And the train just left right-"

"Now." Harry said, his face white.

"It's okay guys. We'll just wait for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley by the car-"

"The car! That's it!" Ron said, clapping his hands together.

I sighed, knowing where this was going.

An hour later, we were in the sky, flying behind the train.

I had originally been grumpy when Harry called shotgun, but once I realized that it wasn't as hot back here, I smirked happily.

"You know, Blaire's never going to go through that thing again. She never trusted it."Ron said, diving back into a cloud.

"Couldn't they have just made a door that said 'Muggles Prohibited'?"

Harry turned around and gave a strange look before I realized my mistake.

"What? It's hot, and I'm hungry, and Ron ate all my spare cheese." I whined.

All of the sudden, the engine began to stall.

"You're joking." I said, looking at Ron as he frantically tried to get it started again. We could see Hogwarts grounds ahead.

The car started picking up speed as we plummeted to the ground.

"AIM FOR THE LAKE!" I screamed. Ron turned the steering wheel the wrong way, though, and we ran into giant tree.

"DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A LAKE YOU GIT-" My hollers were cutoff as I was picked up into the air. I let out a shriek as I realized one of the trees branches had swooped me into the air. I held onto it for dear life, screaming all the way. Ron and Harry had gotten out of the danger zone and were looking up at me with disdain.

"RONALD WEASLEY YOU BETTER START RUNNING FAST BECAUSE WHEN I GET DOWN FROM HERE I AM GOING TO RIP YOUR STUPID HEAD OFF!" I yelled before continuing to scream.

"You can stop now, Blaire." Harry said. I realized the tree had stopped. I looked up to thank my savior only to see Snape looking down at me venomously.

"Oh, um, hello Professor. Wonderful weather we're having." I said, before jumping off the tree.

"I'm feeling kind of dizzy, you see, so I think I'll just lay down…" I slumped back onto the ground and fainted.

Sorry it's been so long! Exams, yah know? Review?
