Return to Hogwarts

The Ford Anglia is parked at King's Cross Station as numerous people walk past it. In the station, TJ, Mr. Harper, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Percy, Fred, George, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are desperate to catch the Hogwarts Express before it leaves.

Mr. Weasley:
10:58. Come on, come on!

Mrs. Weasley:
Train will be leaving any moment!

Mr. Harper:
You ain't gotta tell me twice! Come on boy, you're up!

TJ:
Yes, dad.

TJ, and his dad were the first to go through the barrier. Mr. Weasley then turns to his sons.

Mr. Weasley:
Fred, George, Percy, you first!

Fred pushes his cart through the barrier to Platform 9¾, followed by Percy and George. Mrs. Weasley pats Ginny on the back.

Mrs. Weasley:
Okay.

Ginny pushes her cart and runs through the wall; Mr. and Mrs. Weasley follow.

Mr. Weasley:
After you, dear.

Mrs. Weasley disappears through the wall; Mr. Weasley goes in immediately after her.

Both Mr and Mrs. Weasley met up with Ginny as she stands by the Hogwarts Express, which is just about ready to go.

Mrs. Weasley:
Come on, Ginny. We'll get you a seat. Hurry!

The three run for the train; outside, only Harry and Ron are left.

Harry:
Let's go.

Ron nods; then the two boys push their carts directly for the wall. However, instead of going through the wall, Harry inexplicably crashes into it and falls over; Ron loses control of his cart, and falls over as well. A station agent, the same man Harry saw a year ago, notices while speaking to a woman, and approaches Harry and Ron as they get to their feet, groaning from their slight injuries.

Station Agent:
Oy! What do you two think you're doing?

Harry:
Sorry. Lo-lost control of the trolley.

The agent shakes his head at them and walks away; Harry glances at Ron.

Harry:
Why can't we get through?

Ron:
I don't know.

He touches the wall with his hand, discovering the bricks have become solid

Ron:
The gateway's sealed itself for some reason.

Harry touches the wall to see that it's completely solid. Harry hearing a clock chime, he and Ron look up at a nearby clock displaying the time 11:00.

Harry:
The train leaves at exactly 11:00. We've missed it!

Ron glancing at the clock in horror, then turning to Harry.

Ron:
Harry... if we can't get through, maybe mom and dad can't get back.

Harry:
[trying to decide what to do about their dilemma] Maybe we should just go and wait by the car.

Ron:
[the sound of these words suddenly gives him an idea] The car...

Harry glances at him, wondering what he's got in mind.

We then see the Ford Anglia flying in the air outside the train station. The car was jerking around as Ron was seen behind the wheel, and Harry was looking nervous.
