A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

After a loud crackling noise, all the windows of the Ford were shattered, the body of the Ford was covered with traces of whiplash, and what was even more exaggerated was that there was a deep dent in the roof.

The two people in the car shouted in panic, but this did not stop the Whomping Willow's attack.

Branches like battering rams hit the back of the car, pierced from the back seat to the front seat, and brushed against their ears. At the same time, countless branches as thick as fingers also fell like hailstones.

The Ford was covered in bruises and crumbling in the stormy attack, and was soon pulled down by a thick branch.

Bang!

The semi-scrapped car fell to the ground, and before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, the low roar of the Whomping Willow, like the bleak autumn wind, could be heard in their ears.

I saw that the huge trunk and all the branches were bent into an arch shape, and several tips that were larger than the car were raised high like clenched fists, as if they were about to fall on the car the next moment.

"We're done." Harry murmured in despair, as if he saw them being crushed into meat pies.

At the critical moment, the bottom of the car suddenly vibrated and the engine restarted.

A flash of light flashed in Harry's eyes, and he immediately shouted: "Drive!"

Ron stepped on the accelerator, and with a roar, the car jumped forward quickly.

They had just walked for two seconds when half of the Whomping Willow tree fell down, causing the ground to shake slightly.

call!

The car stopped in an open space. The two of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They were both thankful in their hearts that they had saved their lives.

However, at this time, the car door opened automatically and threw the two people out.

He also opened the trunk and ejected their suitcases and two pets.

But overall it was quite humane, because their pet owl Hedwig and mouse Scabbers both happened to fall on their hands and were not seriously injured.

After clearing out all the things, the car closed the door and trunk, and passed through the gate of the castle in the night with scars all over its body.

"My car." Ron shouted, put down the pet in his hand, and chased after Harry.

But it was really impossible to catch up with four wheels with only two legs. In the end, they watched the car drive into the Forbidden Forest.

"My dad is definitely going to kill me." Ron said weakly.

Harry glanced at him sympathetically and didn't know how to comfort him, "Don't worry about so much for now. Let's take the suitcase to the castle first, and maybe we can catch up with Ginny's sorting ceremony.

As for the car, Hagrid is the forest guard, let him help find it! "

"That's all it can do." Ron said with a bitter smile.

The two carefully walked around the huge willow tree that could hit people, and put their suitcases and pets on the steps where these things were stacked.

Then, dragging his tired body, he quietly walked outside the auditorium and quietly watched the freshman sorting ceremony through the window.

It's not that they don't want to go in and watch up close, but their outfits are a bit out of place.

Except for the principal, professors, and staff at the teachers' table, all the students were wearing black wizard robes, but they were all in casual clothes. In addition, the wounds caused by the Whomping Willow were not big or small. The pile is not ordinary conspicuous.

Fortunately, Ginny had not yet started sorting. Although they were not in the auditorium, they did not miss this special moment.

However, the two of them obviously had a big heart, and some people in the auditorium had already noticed something unusual.

Aaron looked at Professor Snape who was constantly searching for something on the teacher's bench, and couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. How could he forget about him?

The Head of Slytherin's senses about Harry Potter are not generally complex, and he is naturally more concerned about his situation than the average person.

"Aaron, I always feel like something is not right!" Draco said in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, everything is normal."

"No, I always feel like something is missing." Draco frowned and thought. Gradually, he turned his gaze to the long Gryffindor table, and his pupils could not help but widen a little, "Look, Harry Potter Te and Ron Weasley don't seem to be here."

"No way!" Aaron said pretentiously, "Is it possible that they have already arrived, but you didn't see them?"

Draco was stunned for a moment and glanced around the Gryffindor table with some suspicion. Now he was 100% sure that Harry and Ron were absent.

"They just didn't come." Draco said excitedly, "Do you want to tell Professor Snape? He will definitely be very happy to know the news."

"Don't..." Just as Aaron was about to persuade him not to cause trouble at this time, he accidentally caught Snape's eyes on the teacher's bench.

Feeling the sharp gaze, Aaron's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned his face away.

But a few seconds later, he raised his head, and Snape was still looking at him. What surprised him even more was that Snape glanced at the empty Gryffindor seat, as if asking: Do you know Where are they?

Damn it!

Yes, I know, but can I admit this kind of thing? Obviously not!

What should I say after admitting that Harry and the others came by car, but he actually climbed onto the train to greet them, and provided some quite timely material help.

Aaron immediately responded to his most respected professor with his eyes, and shook his head slightly, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."

In response, Snape frowned slightly, but soon a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced towards the window.

Aaron turned around subconsciously and saw two sneaky heads lying on it. He was speechless for a moment.

These two babies are hopeless. They are at gunpoint.

Snape smiled meaningfully, no longer paying attention to the sorting ceremony, but retreated from the side door without leaving a trace.

"This is so sad."

"What did you say?" Draco asked.

"I said someone is going to be unlucky." Aaron replied calmly, "This is the first day of school, but it is not an ordinary excitement for some people."

"So...what do you mean?"

Aaron patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Good thing, at least it's good news for you."

Outside the window, Harry and Ron also noticed that Snape was missing from the audience.

The two began to speculate about why he was absent. From illness to resignation to being fired, the more they talked, the more excited they became.

Snape Severus was not only the Head of Slytherin, but also one of their most hated professors.

Naturally, they would not have any good ideas to deal with his absence.

However, neither of them noticed a figure getting closer and closer behind them.

Hearing these two Gryffindors' malicious speculations about him, Snape felt very calm, but his face was a little scary.

"Maybe he's waiting to hear why you didn't come by school bus."

Harry and Ron were stunned for a moment and couldn't help but tremble.

The two of them turned around in tacit understanding and saw the black robe shaking in the cool breeze, followed immediately by a familiar face, but at the moment that face was full of a playful sneer.

"You two, do you have anything to say?"

"Professor, I, we..." Harry faltered, and was about to say something when Snape interrupted him.

"Come with me, go to my office, and let's have a good chat." Snape said softly, his tone was very gentle, but it sounded very cold to the two of them.

Harry and Ron followed Snape closely and arrived at his office.

This was the first time they visited Snape's office. It was filled with all kinds of bottles and cans, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing under the dim lights.

"Come and take a look!" Snape meaningfully took out a newspaper from the Evening Prophet from the drawer. On it was a Ford car flying through the clouds.

"Our famous Mr. Harry Potter and his friend Ron Weasley don't think the train ride is enjoyable enough and want to have something more exciting, right?

That's amazing. If a wizard hadn't taken a photo while doing something, you would have avoided it.

Do you know that he received a reward of two hundred galleons from the Prophet's newspaper based on this photo? I am envious of the speed at which he makes money. "

"Professor, we..."

"Quiet." Snape snapped, "Actually, when I saw this newspaper, I knew you would definitely come over tonight.

But at the same time, I feel particularly confused. Someone has clearly explained the situation to Dumbledore. You can go back to school tomorrow, so why do you have to drive here?

Do you know the consequences of doing this?

Fortunately no Muggles found you, otherwise things would have been more serious.

Oh, by the way, I thought I saw a magical plant injured just now. Is this also your fault? "

"Professor, that was an accident." Harry said nervously.

"That tree will do us more damage," Ron said.

“Shut up, that tree is older than you all and its name is the Whomping Willow.

If Professor Sprout saw that it was injured, he would probably go to it with a bandage overnight to treat the injury. "

"I'm very sorry, Professor, but we..."

"Don't interrupt, Mr. Potter." Snape stood up from his seat, looked at the pale faces of the two of them and sneered: "Actually, the most fortunate thing for you is that you are not students of Slytherin House, otherwise I would immediately Fire you.

Now I'm going to find someone who really has this right. I believe Professor McGonagall will be very surprised to see you. You stay here and don't move. "
