Chapter 73
Finally, the hour hand of the big clock on the train station reached the departure time. This car looks like it can't catch up.
It's over, said Ron dully. The train is on. What if Mom and Dad can't come and pick us up? Do you have Muggle money on you?
Harry laughed dryly. The Dursleys haven't given me pocket money in six years.
I'm fine. Ryan said, I still have more than 30 pounds on me.
Ron relaxed a little after hearing Ryan's answer, then pressed his ear to the icy partition wall.
No sound, he said nervously. What are we going to do? I wonder how long it will take for my parents to come back to us.
Too much attention due to Harry's owl's incessant chirping. So Harry suggested going to the car and waiting for the Weasleys.
At this time, Ron seemed to have thought of something because of the word car, and excitedly said to Ryan and Harry:
We can drive to Hogwarts! We're stuck, right? We have to get back to school, don't we? In a real emergency, little wizards can also use magic. Article 19 of the Restriction Regulations or which paragraphs are stipulated...
Stop! Ryan waved to Ron. Don't forget we're only 12 years old. Do you think it's really appropriate to drive a flying car across the whole of the UK for people who have not learned to drive? If I fall off my floating spell, I can't save three people.
Harry shook his head after hearing Ryan's words, and found that Ron's method was not right. After all, even in the Muggle world, driving requires a driving school to obtain a driver's license. According to what he observed in the Weasleys' life, Mrs. Weasley would never allow Ron to fly around in a car. . Harry didn't want to put his life in the hands of such a novice driver either.
Then what do you say? We can't go to Hogwarts now. Ron said anxiously, seeing that Harry didn't support his point of view.
Let's get out, I don't think my father has left at this time. He can help us go to the Leaky Cauldron, and when we get there, we should be able to find someone who can help us. Ryan said to Harry and the others.
You're a genius, you deserve the highest test score among us. Ron patted Ryan on the shoulder, and the three of them pushed the trolley to the parking lot quickly.
When he arrived at the parking lot, Ryan found that his father, Mr. Lambert, had not left. He was surprised to see his child and two other classmates pushing a cart towards him.
Shouldn't you take the train to school? Why did you come back so quickly? Mr. Lambert asked in confusion.
Well, there's something wrong with the entrance and we can't get in right now. So hopefully you'll drop us off at the Leaky Cauldron where we shopped last time, and we'll go back to school from there.
After Mr Lambert listened, he asked the three of them to load all their luggage into his car. He then called a taxi and put the three of them in a taxi, before telling the taxi driver to follow him.
After ten minutes, they finally arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. After saying goodbye to Mr. Lambert, Lane and the others walked into the Leaky Cauldron with their luggage. Today's bar business is not very good, few customers drink in it.
Tom, the owner, was sitting behind the bar wiping his glasses, and was surprised to find them coming in: Kids, it's supposed to be school day. How did you get here?
There seems to be something wrong with the wall on platform nine and three-quarters and it's keeping us out, so we'll just have to come here to see who can help us.
Then sit here for a while, and I'll pass a letter to your professor. After speaking, Tom took out a quill and wrote something on the parchment, and then passed the parchment away through the Floo network.
Ryan went to the counter and bought three bottles of pumpkin juice, then drank one bottle with Harry and the others,
Sitting at the table while waiting for news. As soon as he finished drinking the pumpkin juice, he saw a flash of green flames in the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron. Professor McGonagall walked out of the fireplace wearing a dark green robe, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ryan and the others.
Thank goodness you're all right, the Ministry of Magic says there's something wrong with the wall. I'm really worried you're hurting yourself by doing something stupid because you can't catch the Hogwarts Express, but you know how to get help in the Leaky Cauldron.
How are we going to get to school now that the train has left? Harry asked Professor McGonagall.
Don't worry kids, we'll go straight to Hogsmeade Station with Floo now. Ryan, you've never used a Floo handle, just watch and learn how to use it later.
After speaking, Professor McGonagall threw a pinch of Floo powder into the fire, and the flame turned green. She went in and said Hogsmeade Station. and disappeared.
You come first, don't panic and don't move, just read the exact location, it's not dangerous. Ron said to Ryan.
Ryan picked up a pinch of powder from the basin and threw it into the fire, then dragged his luggage into the fireplace. The fireplace felt as hot as it was by the fire, and Ryan read out his destination: Hogsmeade Station.
He felt as if he had been thrown into the washing machine and turned around, and the swirl of green flames made him feel a little dizzy. He had no choice but to close his eyes and listen to the wind blowing past his ears.
With a final snap, he and his luggage fell to the marble floor. The dizzy Ryan propped himself up with his arms, when Professor McGonagall used his wand to give him a clean-up to remove the soot from him.
Harry and Ron who arrived later were also followed by Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall asked them to leave their luggage here (don't worry, someone will help you bring your luggage to your dormitory later). After that, he took them to the school's carriage. There was nothing in front of the carriage, but Ryan knew that it was a carriage pulled by Thestral, and only those who saw death could see them.
Down a rough dirt road, the carriage passed through a magnificent cast-iron gate. There are stone pillars on both sides of the road, with wild boars with wings at the top.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the gate of the castle after passing a long ramp.
At this time, the system issued a prompt in Ryan's mind:
- The event of Harry Potter's Speed crossing the UK has been changed, gaining 6 offset points.
This number of points is more than expected, most likely because the subsequent series of events have changed at any time, so so many offset points have been obtained.
After getting off the car, Professor McGonagall said to the three of them, Alright, it's time for school. Because your classmates will arrive in the afternoon, the school is not ready. So I hope you can stay quiet in the common room. , and don't come down until before the school banquet. The password in the common room is Honey Bird, and I will have lunch brought to you.
