Chapter III: The Ford Anglia vs The Whomping Willow

Someone's POV

                     During the rest of the Summer Zach, had a new routine.  He woke up, showered, helped Mrs. Weasley with breakfast, fed Hocus, send letters to his friends and his cousin, have breakfast, do chores, read the new books, practice quidditch, have lunch, take Hocus for a walk, play wizard's chess, feed Hocus again, help Mrs. Weasley with Dinner, sets the table, write on his journal, draw, have dinner, take Hocus on one last walk, shower and sleep. That was his new routine, though at times he did less chores since he helped with breakfast and dinner, Also Kieran spend the rest of Summer there too but he was changed from room to the Twin's room. The end of summer break was at it's end. The day before they had to go to Hogwarts, Zach packed early in the morning and Kieran also did. He also carefully placed Hocus his collar as he smiled and gave him one of the best showers Hocus has ever had. That day Mrs. Weasley and Zach made the best dinner ever, It included everything Harry liked. Zach's cheeks were redden while Harry enjoyed the dinner. The next morning Zach had woken up before the sun was even up. It was approximately three in the morning as he took a shower and got ready early so he didn't had to be in a hurry. After he finished, Zach went outside with his Satchell and  and from it he took out his sketchpad and a pencil then began drawing when the sun started to rise. The peace of waking up really early did last, as Soon as the sun started to rise, everyone at the Burrow also rose, the were all bumping into each other half dressed with half bits of toast in their hands, Mrs. Weasley dashed about in a bad mood looking for spare socks and quills, and Mr. Weasley nearly broke his neck, tripping over a stray chicken as he crossed the yard carrying Ginny's trunk to the car. Zach decided to help Mr. Weasley with the trunks. When at last they were all in the car, Mrs. Weasley glanced into the back seat, where Harry, Zach, Ron, Kieran Fred, George, and Percy were all sitting comfortably side by side, and said,
                                                   "Muggles do know more than we give them credit for, don't they?"
                                                    "Well some have Mini Vans which are cars for Big Families. My Uncle and Aunt own one in America" Zach said softly. Mr. Weasley looked fascinated by his comment. Mrs. Weasley and Ginny got into the front seat, which had been stretched so that it resembled a park bench. Mr. Weasley started up the engine and they trundled out of the yard, Harry turning back for a last look at the house. He barely had time to wonder when he'd see it again when they were back. George had forgotten his box of Filibuster fireworks. Five minutes after that, they skidded to a halt in the yard so that Fred could run in for his broomstick. They had almost reached the highway when Ginny shrieked that she'd left her diary. By the time she had clambered back into the car, they were running very late, and tempers were running high. Mr. Weasley glanced at his watch and then at his wife.
                                                     "Molly, dear--"
                                                     "No , Arthur --"
                                                     "No one would see - this little button here is an Invisibility Booster I installed - that'd get us up in the air - then we fly above the clouds. We'd be there in ten minutes and no one would be any the wiser--"
                                                     "I said no, Arthur, not in broad daylight--" They reached King's Cross at a quarter to eleven. Mr. Weasley dashed across the road to get trolleys for their trunks and they all hurried into the station. Harry had caught the Hogwarts Express the previous year. The tricky part was getting onto platform nine and three-quarters, which wasn't visible to the Muggle eye. What you had to do was walk through the solid barrier dividing platforms nine and ten. It didn't hurt, but it had to be done carefully so that none of the Muggles noticed you vanishing.
                                                    "Percy first," said Mrs. Weasley, looking nervously at the clock overhead, which showed they had only five minutes to disappear casually through the barrier. Percy strode briskly forward and vanished. Mr. Weasley went next; Fred and George followed.
                                                    "I'll take Ginny and you three come right after us," Mrs. Weasley told Harry, Ron, and Zach, grabbing Ginny's hand and setting off. In the blink of an eye they were gone.
                                                   "Let's go together, we've only got a minute," Ron said to Harry and Zach. as Hocus barked from his cage wanting out. Harry made sure that Hedwig's cage was safely wedged on top of his trunk and wheeled his trolley around to face the barrier. He felt perfectly confident; this wasn't nearly as uncomfortable as using Floo powder. Both of them bent low over the handles of their trolleys and walked purposefully toward the barrier, gathering speed. A few feet away from it, they broke into a run and-- CRASH. Their  trolleys hit the barrier and bounced backward; Ron's trunk fell off with a loud thump, Harry was knocked off his feet, Zach fell on top of his own trolley knocking down Hocus' cage and Hedwig's cage bounced onto the shiny floor, and she rolled away, shrieking indignantly; people all around them stared and a guard nearby yelled, "What in blazes d'you think you're doing?" 
                                                   "Lost control of the trolley," Harry gasped, clutching his ribs as he got up. Ron ran to pick up Hedwig, who was causing such a scene that there was a lot of muttering about cruelty to animals from the surrounding crowd. Zach hurried to Hocus' cage and checked on him and he was whimpering and he calmed him down.
                                                   "Why can't we get through?" Harry hissed to Ron.
                                                    "I dunno--" Zach said  Ron looked wildly around. A dozen curious people were still watching them.
                                                    "We're going to miss the train," Ron whispered. "I don't understand why the gateway's sealed itself--" Harry looked up at the giant clock with a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach. Ten seconds... nine seconds... He wheeled his trolley forward cautiously until it was right against the barrier and pushed with all his might. The metal remained solid. Three seconds... two seconds... one second...
                                                   "It's gone," said Ron, sounding stunned. "The train's left. What if Mum and Dad can't get back through to us? Have you got any Muggle money?" Harry gave a hollow laughed.
                                                     "The Dursleys haven't given me pocket money for about six years." Zach pressed his ear to the cold barrier.
                                                     "Can't hear a thing," he said tensely
                                                    What're we going to do? I don't know how long it'll take Mum and Dad to get back to us." Ron asked. They looked around. People were still watching them, mainly because of Hedwig's continuing screeches.
                                                   "I think we'd better go and wait by the car," said Harry. "We're attracting too much atten--"
                                                    "Harry!" said Ron, his eyes gleaming. "The car!"
