A/N Hope you guys like this chapter.
Because it's short, I'll update with another one too.
Please review!
We flew towards Hogwarts castle with me still at the wheel and Ron squeezed in between me and Harry. I smiled at the familiar sight. Sure, the Dursely's raised us in their house, but this was our true home, the one place we felt like we belonged. Ron looked between Harry and me.
"Welcome home." He told us. Suddenly there was a groan from the car. It lurched downward towards a giant willow tree. I desperately tried to change gears. Nothing.
"Turn, turn, turn!" Harry cried. I tried. Nothing happened. Harry was still yelling at me to 'turn'.
"TRYING, TRYING, TRYING!" I shouted back. Ron and Harry reached over and the three of us turned the wheel. Nothing. Ron whipped out his wand and whacked the dashboard with it.
"STOP, STOP, STOP!" He yelled. The wand broke almost in half, hanging by a thread, and nothing happened. The car met the tree head on. We landed in the branches. I looked over at Harry.
"See? Not that bad." He told me, trying to sound reassuring. I glared at him.
"Don't say that. That's when bad things happen!" I warned. Suddenly something banged against Harry's door.
"What's happening?" Ron asked. One of the branches moved, curling into itself. It slammed itself onto the top of the car. We all jumped. I looked at Harry accusingly.
"I told you not to say stuff like that!" I cried. The car slid forward into a free fall. We all screamed. It landed on some lower branches. The branches began pummeling the car from all sides.
"What kind of tree is this?" Ron asked over the sounds of wood hitting metal.
"A bad one." I replied. The car fell again, landing hard the ground this time. A large tree branch started coming down on the car.
"Reverse, reverse, reverse!" Harry cried, as if saying everything loudly and three times would make something happen. I slammed the car into reverse and we drove away from the tree. The tree branch slapped down onto the ground, narrowing missing us.
"Bad tree! Bad tree!" I repeated over and over again in shock. I made a mental note to avoid that tree at all costs. Suddenly the car doors flew up and the seats jerked sideways. We flew out of the car and landed hard on the ground. The grass didn't provide much of a cushion. I moaned as I sat up. The trunk opened and our trunks were ejected in the same manner. Hedwig's, Elf's and Scabber's cages were flung at us. I caught Elf's cage, but it caught it with my chest and it knocked the breath out of me. All the doors shut and the car drove off on its own. We stood up and watched it drive itself into the forbidden forest. Ron whimpered, holding his broken wand and looking miserable.
"Dad's gonna kill me." I looked at Harry.
"This is the one time I'm glad we don't have parents…" I told him.
"Let's get inside." He said. We moved to gather our things.
"Yeah."
