Flying Cars and Attack Trees
When Mrs. Weasley, Harry, and Momoko got back to the burrow they meet Miyako and Ginny in the living room. Both girls looked up when they entered the room. Ginny turned bright red seeing Harry while Miyako watched as he walked past them and up the stairs to the room he shared with Ron and Takaaki.
"Mom, what's up with Harry? Why does he look like he's completely out of it?" Miyako asked with concern.
Momoko smiled "Harry just found out that he won't have to live with the Dursley's anymore."
"Does that mean Harry can live with us?" Ginny asked with hope.
"No Ginny. After this summer he's going to be staying with his cousin, Neville" Mrs. Weasley said as she took a seat in one of the chairs in the room.
"Neville, as in, Neville Longbottom" Miyako asked in awe.
"Yeah, apparently Neville's mom is Harry's aunt. She's the sister of Harry's dad, James" Momoko said with excitement.
"So, what were you two up to before we got here?" Mrs. Weasley asked picking up some yarn and needles.
Ginny smiled "Miyako was helping me go through my text books, telling me what to expect during my classes, and giving me pointers on some of the spells listed."
"That's great. I'm surprised none of your brothers ever did that for each other" Mrs. Weasley smiled.
After that the entire household settled in as they prepared to send all the kids off to school in a few days.
On the morning of September first everyone was running around trying to get some last minute things together. By the time everyone had gotten in the car Harry, Takaaki and all four of the Weasley boys were in the back, while Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, Miyako, and Momoko sat up front. It took them four tries before they were able to finally get on the way to the train station. They had to stop when George had to get some fireworks, then Fred need to get his broomstick, Momoko had to run back to grab her birthday ribbon, and finally Ginny had to get her diary.
As soon as Mr. Weasley had the car on the highway he glanced at his wife "Molly, we can get there faster."
"NO, Arthur. I will not allow you to endanger us or your career by flying the car" Mrs. Weasley said sternly.
"But, this button will turn us invisible and –" Mr. Weasley said before being cut off.
"I said NO, Arthur" Mrs. Weasley said harshly.
They got to King's Cross Station at quarter to eleven. Mr. Weasley and the twins ran across the road to get trolleys for everyone's trunks. When they reached the barrier for Platform 9 ¾ they stopped and Mrs. Weasley had Percy go first through the barrier. Mr. Weasley went next, followed by Fred and George, and then Miyako and Takaaki.
"I'll take Ginny and you three come right after us" Mrs. Weasley told Harry, Momoko, and Ron, grabbing Ginny's hand and setting off through the barrier.
Ron looked at Momoko "You can follow after us."
Momoko watched as Ron and Harry ran at the barrier before both of their trolleys crashed against the barrier. She ran over to them to help pick up Ron's trunk and Hedwig's cage, which had fallen. "What happened?" she asked confused.
"We couldn't get through" Harry whispered to her.
She then moved her trolley next to the barrier and pushed against it. The barrier unfortunately remained solid.
Ron stared from the barrier to the clock as the hands showed that it had just turned eleven. "That's it, the trains gone. What if mom and dad can't get back through to us? What are we going to do?" he said with fear.
At that moment Momoko had what she thought was a brilliant idea "Ron, do you know how to fly the car?"
Ron looked at her bewildered for a moment before his eyes widened "Yeah, I watched when Fred and George went to get Harry."
"What are you two talking about?" Harry asked looking back and forth between the two.
"We're going to fly to Hogwart's using the car" Momoko said smiling while they headed back to the car.
When they got back to the car they loaded their trunks into the trunk of the car. Ron sat in the driver's seat with Harry sitting in the front passenger's seat and Momoko in the back with Hedwig and Athena's cages.
"You guys check to make sure no one's watching" Ron said as he started to car.
Harry and Momoko were looking up and down the street making sure no muggles were looking in their direction. As they told Ron that it was safe he pushed a silver button on the dashboard that made them and the entire car vanish.
All three of them felt a little strange because they could hear the sound of the car's engine, feel the clothes they were wearing, and hear each other's voices, but they couldn't see any of it.
Ron then had the car point upwards as they started to fly away from King's Cross Station. A few seconds after they took off they heard a popping noise before they reappeared.
"Ron, what's going on?" Momoko asked with worry.
"I think dad's invisibility booster is faulty" Ron said pummeling the button.
"Forget the button Ron, just get us above the clouds" Harry yelled.
Ron did just that and slammed his foot on the accelerator speeding the car up to pass through the cloud layer.
As they skimmed above the clouds Momoko stared out the window "Guys, how are we going to follow the train?"
"I'm going to have to dip back down quickly so we can see which way the train is heading" Ron said just before he nosed the car below the clouds.
After a few minutes Harry pointed at what looked like a red caterpillar "I see the train, it's heading north."
Ron nodded before heading back above the clouds "Now we'll just have to check every half hour to make sure we don't lose it."
They all began to laugh due to the enjoyment of the moment. After a few minutes they got hungry and found a bag of toffees in the glove compartment, which they shared. Then after many hours of trying to keep track of the train they heard the engine start to whine.
Ron glanced at them nervously "It's probably just tired, it's never been this far before."
The whine in the engine grew louder and louder as the stars came out. They flew back under the clouds again to try and spot the train.
Just as Harry spotted the train the car started to shudder and lose speed. The car then began to groan as steam shot out from under the hood. Then the car wobbled before it dropped from the sky.
Ron managed to steer the car somewhat as it plummeted. He prevented it from landing in the lake or slamming into the castle.
As they were screaming for their lives Momoko saw that they were heading for a large tree "RON, WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!"
Unfortunately she was too late in warning him because they hit the tree with a loud crunch. The next thing that she knew there was a lot of shouting followed by what sounded like someone hitting the car with baseball bats. She then was jostled around as the car reversed out of the tree before she was thrown from the car rather unexpectedly. She then heard a few thuds followed by the screeching of owls. When she was finally able to look around she saw their trunks on the castle lawn with two smashed owl cages as the car drove off into the woods.
"Bloody hell, first my wand breaks when we crash, then the tree tries to bludgeon us to death, and now the car drives off on its own. My dad's going to kill me" Ron ranted as they grabbed their trunks and headed up to the castle.
When they got to the doors of the castle they decided to leave their trunks for a moment and peek in through the castle window to the Great Hall. As they were looking through the window they saw that the sorting had started and all of the teachers were seated at the staff table with two exceptions, Professor McGonagall who was overseeing the sorting and Professor Snape who they couldn't see any more.
"I wonder where Snape is." Harry asked.
"Maybe he's ill!" Momoko said hopefully.
"Maybe he left!" Harry said with a smile.
"Or he might have been sacked!" Ron said enthusiastically.
"Or maybe" a cold voice said behind them "he's waiting to hear why you three didn't arrive on the school train."
All three of them turned around and saw Professor Snape with a look that spelled trouble for all three of them. He then motioned for them to follow him as he led them into the castle, down into the dungeons and through a door into his office.
"Sit!" Professor Snape said icily "So, the train isn't good enough for the famous Harry Potter and his sidekicks Weasley and Akatsutsumi. Wanted to arrive with a bang, did we?" he continued softly.
Ron and Momoko started to protest but were cut off by Professor Snape "Where's the car?"
All three of them tuned pale when he asked this.
He then unrolled an issue of the Evening Prophet pointing at the headline hissing "You were seen." The headline read: FLYING FORD ANGLIA MYSTIFIES MUGGLES. He then started to run through some of the different sightings listed in the article and asking what Mr. Weasley would think of what they had done. The next thing he did was yell at them for having damaged the Whomping Willow and how if they were in his house he would have them expelled. After that he left his office to saying he would get those that could punish them.
When Professor Snape returned he had Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore. The three of them knew they were in huge trouble from the looks the new teachers gave them.
No one spoke for a long time until Professor Dumbledore stepped forward "Please explain why you did this."
The three of them then started to explain how they couldn't get onto Platform 9 ¾ and finding a flying car that allowed them to get to Hogwart's.
"Why didn't you send a letter by owl? I believe you two have owls?" Professor McGonagall asked coldly.
"We – we didn't think about it Professor" Momoko said hanging her head in shame.
"We'll go and get our stuff" Ron said hopelessly.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Weasley?" barked Professor McGonagall.
"You're going to expel us, right?" Ron asked.
"Not today, Mr. Weasley. But I must impress upon you all the seriousness of what you have done. I will be writing to both of your families tonight. I must also warn you that if you do anything like this again, I will have no choice but to expel you" Professor Dumbledore told them sternly.
Professor Snape cleared his throat "Professor Dumbledore these three need to be punished. They've broken one of the Ministry's laws and damaged an old and valuable tree."
"Severus, they are not in your house, so they aren't yours to punish" Professor Dumbledore said before turning to Professor McGonagall "Minerva, I need to get back to the feast. I'll leave them to you, come Severus."
With that Professor Snape followed Professor Dumbledore out of his office with a quick glare at them.
All three of them were about to say something but Professor McGonagall stopped them by raising her hand "First, you three are going to get detention. Next, you are going to eat here, then head up to the dorms. I know that you Mr. Weasley and Miss Akatsutsumi want to know where Miss Weasley was placed. She was placed in Gryffindor; hopefully she won't cause as much trouble as the rest of her family. Now I must get back to the feast, good night" she then waved her wand producing a large plate of sandwiches, three silver goblets, and a jug of pumpkin juice.
The three of them ate in silence for a few minutes before Momoko sighed "At least we didn't get expelled. Though I doubt our detentions will be easy."
"Yeah, you're right Momoko. I just hope we don't have to serve them with Snape or Mr. Filch" Harry agreed.
Ron nodded as he continued to eat the sandwiches.
They stayed in the office for about another half hour before they left and headed up to their dormitory.
