They arrived at King Cross's Station at approximately 10:45. Mrs.Weasley insisted that Ginny, herself and Mr.Weasley went first followed by Fred, George, and Percy last. When it came Ron and myself's turn we were shocked to find out the barrier would not let them through so when their trolleys ran flat into the brick wall they made up all sorts of excused while trying to discover the meaning to all of this.
Then the clock chime sounder which meant the train had left them.
"Oh no Severus is going to kill me!!!!"
"Not unless we arrive before the train and no one notices we were missing."
"Ron, what are you talking about?"
"The car Harry!!! We can take the car!!!!"
They marched through the crowd of muggles and back to the side road where the car was located. They got in and Ron turned it on when they got up in the air about twelve feet Harry noticed all of the muggles were pointing up in amazement. When Harry finally realized they were still visible to the human eye, he looks at Ron and goes, "Ya know most muggles aren't accustomed to see a flying car."
"Oh right." Ron pressed a silver button on the dashboard. The car around them vanished- and so did they. Harry could feel the seat vibrating beneath him, hear the engine, feel his hands on his knees, and his glasses on his nose, but for all he could see, he had become a pair of eyeballs, floating a few feet above the groudn in a dingy street full of parked cars.
A while after they took off they could now see the train tracks and hear the train but then they realized they were behind the train the train was behind them. Ron drove off the train tracks nearly killing them both when Harry was relieved he states, "Now that my friend was a close one."
So once they arrived at the school the car was nearly out of gas and the car was begining to lose speed and heading straight for a solid wall.
"Noooo!" Ron yelled, swinging the steering wheel around; they missed the dark stone wall by inches as the car turned in a great arc, soaring over the dark greenhouses, then the vegetable patch, and then out over the black lawns, losing altitude all the time.
Ron let go of the steering wheel completely and pulled his wand out of his back pocket----
"STOP! STOP!" he yelled whacking the dashboard and windshield, but they were still plummenting, the ground flying towards them------
"WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!" I bellowed, lunging for the steering wheel, but to late-----
CRUNCH.
They hit the tree but the only part was it was the one tree that would hit back.
As they finally managed to get away they made their way to the great hall where the sorting had begun.
I stopped dead in my tracks as I looked up to the teachers table, "Uhoh there is a seat empty, Oh great Snape has noticed we did not get off the train."
"Very good young man," said a silky voice from behind them.
"Professor..." said Ron still shocked to find him right behind them.
"Yes?"
"I swear it wasn't our fault. I was. The barrier it."
"Mr. Weasley I can assure you that you and Mr. Potter here are definately the ones to blame. Now follow me!"
The walk down to the dungeons was longer than usual and when they arrived to Snape's quarters Ron was completely frightened to see his father who was holding a belt.
"Okay guys you have nothing to explain correct me if I am wrong, the barrier wouldn't open so you two chose to drive a car in mid air without the invisible mode on risking the exposure of our world while you could have simply owled some one to notify us?"
Man I feel so stupid why didn't I think of that?
"But Severus what about the ministry?"
"Don't worry about them we have already spoken to them and we assured them that the punishment would fit the crime and you guys should not worry about them because at the present time the ministry is not your biggest problem.
