[Pushing their trolleys madly before them, Harry and Ron dash to the car, load their belongings into the Anglia's boot.]

"Oh no" whispered Molly.

Harry: This is mad. We can't drive to Hogwarts.

Ron: Who says we're driving?

Harry: You don't mean -- Ron, no.

Ron: Look, who knows when Mum and Dad
will get back. And we've got to get to school, haven't we? And even underage wizards are allowed to use magic if it's an absolute emergency. Least that's what Fred and George always say...

"Ronald Weasley! use your brain! You should wait for us to return and not take stupid decisions." shouted Molly at the screen.

"Or they could have just sent a letter to Professor Mcgonagall." said Remus.

"That's correct Mr. Lupin." said professor.

Harry: Something tells me we're going to regret this.

[Ron taps his wand on the dash and the Anglia burbles tolife.]

Harry: No offense, Ron, but are you sure you know how to fly this.

RON: No problem.

[Ron shifts. With a great jolt, the car lifts from the ground.]

RON:There. See. Now I reckon all we have to do is find the Hogwarts Express and follow it. Simple.

[Harry nods, not entirely convinced. He peers out the window. Down below, two pedestrians stare in disbelief.]

"Blood traiters." muttered Walburga receiving a hex from Euphimia.

Harry: Uh, Ron. I should tell you. Most Muggles aren't accustomed to seeing a flying car.

"Idiots" muttered Sirius

"Look who's saying." said Marlene causing Sirius to whine to Remus.

"Moony! She is bulling me." He pouted to Remus who just blushed lightly.

Ron: Right.

[Ron presses a tiny silver button on the dashboard and they... disappear. Down below, the baffled pedestrians blinks.]

[CAMERA STARTS IN the clouds, passes through, finds Scotland's stunning green. The Anglia's ENGINE PUTTERS softly, when -- POP! - the car reappears. Ron jabs at the silver button.]

Ron: Uh oh. The Invisibility Booster must be faulty.

[CAMERA ZOOMS ALONG the ridge of a cliff. The car reappears from above, gliding away from camera.]

"Let's do this next year." Whispered James to the rest of the Marauders.

Earning nods as a reply.

Ron: Any sign of the train?

Harry: There! Up ahead! Look...
Along a steep bridge, a single line of train tracks appear.

Ron: Brilliant.

[Ron shifts, glides down, until the Anglia is only a few feet above the tracks. The boys peer ahead, looking for the train.]

Ron: It must be around here
someplace.

[Behind them, through the Anglia's rear window, the Hogwarts Express APPEARS, closing fast. Harry and Ron
perk up. Smile.]
