"Ron you cannot be serious!" Harry exclaimed as he ran with the trolley trying to keep up with his friend.
"Ya of course Harry now come on will ya before we get sussed!"
Back on platform 9 ¾ the adults were in total and complete disarray. Harry and Ron had missed the train. How could they be so stupid? Of Sirius had to bear the brunt from Lily.
"Why didn't you let them go first Sirius?"
"Because Harry said that they were okay…."
"Harry said…..he is twelve years old for god sake Sirius!"
"Lily…..Shhhh…this is not Sirius fault. Harry and Ron are old enough to know better and take responsibilities for their actions. We are just gona have to go back and see what they were doing. Come on. Molly don't worry. I am sure there is some rational explanation."
"Yes well there had better be James!"
Harry and Ron reached the car but Ron realised that his dad had locked it and taken the keys with him.
"Oh great! So now what are we gona do?" Harry asked irritated.
"Well….um….we could try that allohamara spell?"
"Alright fine but make it quick will ya?"
Ron cleared his throat, pointed his wand at the lock and said in a authoritve tone…..
"Allohamara." It worked. The door swung open and Harry and Ron grinned at each other. They threw their possessions into the back seat before getting into the front themselves. As they sat in Harry asked…."Ron…..you know when you said that your dad took the keys…..
"Ya…."
"Well how are you go start this thing without them?" Ron stared at him in shock.
"Oh god…..I never thought of that…..did you know any spells to start motors?"
"No do you?"
"No….were screwed aren't we?"
"Ya….pretty much mate!"
"Oh my god they aren't here! James they aren't here! What if they are hurt or kidnapped….."
"Lily shush okay? They must be around here somewhere….."
"The car….."
"WHAT!" They all shouted so Arthur repeated what he said.
"The car……my flying car…..they are most probably by that. It's in the car park. Come on lets go!"
"Okay……the spell to start motors is……."
"HARRY! GET OUT OF THAT CAR NOW!" James shouted running towards them with the others behind him.
"Oh crap….."
"Come on Harry! What is it?"
"……startinium……"
"What? Harry I didn't hear you? Come on……"
"Startinium! STARTAINIUM! Ron come lets get out of here! They are coming pretty damn fast towards us mate……"
"Alright……" Ron pointed his wand at the ignition as he said……."Startinium." With that the engine began to rumble. Ron put his foot on top of the accelerator and it began to purr. James, Sirius and Arthur dived on top of the bonnet but the car took flight so they slid off it and landed on their backs on the concrete.
"HARRY! HARRY GET BACK HERE NOW!" Lily shouted. Harry looked down and he could just about make out the figures of his parents and guardians.
"Ron…."
"Yeah?"
"We are in so much trouble mate." They both half laughed before Ron said…..
"Oh you have no idea! But the only alternative we had was to get murdered and you know…..I think Id prefer to put that off for as long as possible!" Harry sniggered whilst they continued on their journey to Hogwarts.
"Oh I am so knackered! Didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night…."
"Well why ya don't get some now. Ill let ya know when we are there."
"Ya cool. Thanks mate." Harry replied before leaning his head against the back of the seat and closing his eyes. Ron looked over and smiled at him before saying…."No problem."
"What are we going to do James? Ron can't drive! What if they crash or….."
"Lily stop thinking like that okay? They are young wizards after all. They have their wands…."
"James they can't know as much magic as us!"
"Lils….Harry also has his mirror so…..he can contact us okay? Come on drink your tea. Ill go check on Sirius and Remus."
"Lily I am sure that they will be fine……"
"Shari you didn't see the terrified look on his face though! He probably thought we were gona hex him or something……"
"Parents do strange things when they are worried. I should know. I do it all the time!" They laughed a little. "Thanks Shars. I really appreciate you being here." Lily said as she placed her hand over Shari's.
"What are friends for Lils? Come here." She embraced Lily gently.
"Well boys…..any news?" James asked as he walked into the sitting room of Sirius and Remus house.
"No not a dickey bird mate." Sirius replied despondently.
"Great….." James said lamely as he lounged down on the armchair with his elbow erect on the arm and his hand massaging his forehead.
"Don't worry James. Sirius is after fire tacting Dumbledore so he knows what the deal is…."
James looked up at his friend saying…..
"The……the deal? Ya Remus the deal as you so kindly put it is that my son is with his friend flying half way across London in some dodgy car that his friends dad concocted!"
"James clam down. Harry is a smart kid. He won't do anything stupid…."
"Yes Sirius thank you for that uninvited confidence booster but what I would like to know is why the bloody hell they missed the train!"
"You don't think it was anything to do with dobby do ya?"
"…..Dobby? The elf? No I doubt it Sirius……"
"Well maybe he freezed the gate way or something….."
"Oh Sirius don't talk daft! No I bet ya that they were probably checking out some girl….." Sirius and Remus smirked at each other….."Oh Harry mate come on. Tell us that you are alright.
It was getting dark when the car neared Hogwarts. Harry who had slept part of the way there opened his eyes and then blinked so he was fully awake looked around him.
"Hey it's dark…" Ron smiled at him.
"Welcome home Harry."
"What…..really? We made it?" Harry asked in disbelief.
"Yes sir! We made it safe and sound….."
"WOW RON LOOK OUT FOR THAT TREE!"
"What? AGHHHHHHH!" Ron tried to steer the car way but it was too late…….the car dived into the Whomping Willow.
"I heard my dad talk about this tree. It's called the Whomping Willow and unless you wana find out why…I suggest that you get us out of here Ron!"
"How…?"
"I don't know…..um…..try…..descensio."
"Descensio?" Ron questioned looking perplexed.
"Have you got a better idea?"
"No…..okay….descensio." Ron said pointing his wand once again at the ignition.
The car began to rock backwards and forwards for a few seconds until it suddenly began to climb down the tree at a frightening fast pace. Harry and Ron were clinging on to their seats for dear life. Finally the car landed on the grass roughly. As instructed to by Harry, Ron drove it well away from the tree. They then got out and grabbed their stuff from the back seat.
"You alright Hedwig?" Harry asked anxiously. She just hooted once.
"Oh….Scabbers. Thank god you are okay."
"Come on let's get in Ron before we get seen….."
"What about the car?"
"You are late." A voice from the shadows said.
Harry and Ron looked at each other anxiously. "Who said that?" Ron asked to Harry. With that Snape appeared before them.
"….Professor Snape…..What are you doing here?"
"I am supposed to watch out for you two Potter! Your godfather alerted Dumbledore to your dilemma and as a result…..I was instructed to await your arrival which I must add……is ten minutes later than anticipated."
"Ya well…..the tree there attempted to harm us….."
"Well you had better hope that I don't harm you Weasley! Because of you……I have missed the sorting Ceremony so anybody could be in Slytherin….."
"Isn't that always the way?"
"Watch your mouth Potter! Now get up to the great hall immediately. Ill get Filch to take care of your things." They just starred at him so he said……GO!" They ran towards the hall where a much more pleasant reception awaited them.
As they entered the great hall, everyone stopped eating and starred at them. Harry and Ron, feeling out of place already found Rob and Hermione and sat down opposite them. Within a few seconds everything resumed to normal.
"Well……what happened today? Why did ye miss the train?" Rob asked urgently.
"We miss it on purpose Rob. The gateway froze or something….."
"How can that happen?"
"I have no idea Hermione but…..when we tried to go through the trolleys just crashed off the wall and sent us flying over them……." Rob laughed at this.
"I would love to have seen that!"
"Rob this is serious! Somebody must have sealed it. There is no other explanation Harry. Try and think who would have done that."
"Well Hermione the only person I can think of is Malfoy…."
"Malfoy? Oh come on Harry. I am sure he has better things to do….."
"Well it does make sense….." Ron said which earned an eye roll from Hermione.
"Or maybe it was Dobby…."
"Dobby? Harry who is Dobby?"
Later that night Dumbledore fire tacted James to alert him of Harry and Rons safe landing.
"Oh are you serious Albus? That is just brilliant! Thank you so much Sir."
"No problem James. Goodnight.
"Goodnight Sir. Well Lils you can rest easy now. Harry and Ron are safe." James said as he resumed his seat next to her on the couch.
"Yes I can. But Harry James Potter will get the biggest surprise of his life tomorrow morning. Mark my words."
Well what did you think? It wasn't a copy from the book or the film…..at least I can say that! Lol. So anyway let me know what you thought! Talk 2 ya:)
