Harry's POV:

I follow the Weasleys out of their car and into the train station. We're in a bit of a rush because Fred and George insisted on going back home because they forgot their exploding snaps.

"10:58. Come on , come on!" Mr Weasley orders as we all pick up our paces to a run.

"The train will be leaving any moment!" Mrs Weasley yells frantically

"Fred, George, Percy, you first" Mr Weasley says as we reach platform 9 and 3 1/4

Fred runs up first followed by Percy and then George. I watch amused as one by one they disappear into the wall.
Ginny looks around nervously and her parents put a comforting hand around her shoulders. They give her a push and she runs into the wall. Mr and Mrs Weasley follow shortly after which leaves just Ron , Y/n and I.

"Let's go" I say , they nod and we start running towards the platform. Instead of going through like I normally would, I crash into the wall. Ron then crashes into me followed by Y/n who crashes into Ron and we all end up on the floor underneath our luggage and trolleys. We get up as a plump man who works at the train station walks over to us with a stern expression.

"Oi! What do you think you're doing?" He barks

"S-sorry" Y/n stutters "Lost control of the Trolley" He shakes his head at us then walks away. She turns to Ron and I. "Why can't we get through"

"I don't know. The gateway sealed itself for some reason" Ron replies as we hit the wall hoping it will miraculously let us through by doing so.

A clock chimes in the distance and my heart sinks. "The train leaves at exactly 11:00 we've missed it!"

Ron and Y/n get a terrified look on their faces. "Harry... if we can't get through maybe mum and dad can't get back" Ron says

I pace back and forth as I try to think about what we can do. It's not like we can call anyone and tell them to pick us up. And we can't use my broomstick because we'd be seen. I sigh and turn to Ron and Y/n. "Maybe we should just go and wait by the car"

Y/n gets a puzzling look on her face. "The car..."

Tia's POV:

I walk around and look in each compartment on the Hogwarts Express however I can't find Y/n anywhere, I do hope that she's alright.

I see one compartment with Hermione sat in , I open the door and sit with her.

"Have you seen Y/n anywhere?" I ask her

"No I haven't" she replies "I don't know where Harry and Ron are either"

"You don't think they..." I say "missed the train"

"I hope not" she replies , I just nod

Suddenly we hear a knock on the compartment door.
"Come in" Hermione says

The door opens and In walks Ron's sister ,I think her name was Ginny.
She looks at us anxiously.
"Can I sit here?"

"Of course" Hermione replies

It's quite for a moment until I speak up.

"Ginny , you didn't happen to see Harry , Ron and Y/n on the train did you?" I ask her

"I haven't seen them since right before I ran through the platform. They were supposed to go after me" she replies

Hermione shakes her head and I just sigh. I hope Y/n's alright, Ron and Harry too of course.

Your POV:

"Ron I should tell you , most muggles aren't accustomed to seeing a flying car" I say looking down at the streets below as the Weasley's Ford Anglia soars across the London sky.

"Uh...right" Ron says pressing a button on the dashboard and continuing his flying through the sky.

We fly for what seems like ages with still no sign of The Hogwarts Express. I lean my head on Harry's shoulder and he flinches but then just relaxes.
Ron starts pressing the button continuously then groans. "Oh, no. The invisibility booster must be faulty"

I bring my head up off Harry's shoulder and look around.
"Well come on then, let's go lower we need to find the train" Harry reply's and Ron nods and drives the car lower through the valley we're driving through. He drives the car down the railroad tracks and then begins driving on them.

"We can't be far behind" Ron says

The train whistle blows and Ron squints his eyes to see forward.

"D'ya hear that?" Harry Asks as I squint my eyes , he does too.

"We must be getting close!" I say excitedly

I continue looking forward. If we can hear the whistle , why can't we see the train? I strain my neck forward and then a horrible thought dawns on me.
"Hold on..."

I look over at Harry and then at Ron as the idea sinks in all of our heads. Harry takes a deep breath before turning his head to look out the back window. Just as expected the Hogwarts express blows its whistle again. I turn my head back along with Ron and we see it all right.
We scream as Ron struggles to drive away.

Harry's POV:

Ron makes a sharp right turn and we fly off the tracks. However the turn must've been too sharp because the car fly's off course and starts spinning in the air. My door opens and before I know it I'm flying out. I grab onto the car door trying to get myself back up.

"Harry!" Ron and Y/n yell from inside the car

I continue dangling around helplessly in the wind.

"Hold on!" Ron yells. I make the mistake of looking down. I'm dangling over the Hogwarts Express Which is about 50 feet from where I am. I am seriously so dead. Like 100% dead. Ron lowers his hand and yells "Take my hand" I attempt to swing myself up at his hand for a second before letting go, I see Y/n looking worried behind him. "Hold on!" He yells exasperated

"I'm trying!" I yell back "your hands all sweaty"
"Oh move over!" Y/n yells at Ron, she pushes him out of the way and sticks her hand out , I grab onto her hand and she pulls me up enough so I can hoist myself Into the car. I slam the door shut and we all take a sigh of relief. I realise I'm actually almost sat on Y/n's knee. I quickly make my way to another seat in the car and Y/n just looks out the window.

"I think we found the train" I say breaking the silence

"Yeah" Ron replies out of breath

We continue driving alongside the Hogwarts Express. Needless to say, the rest of the ride is pretty quite. It's literally been about an hour into the school year and I've already almost died.

It can't get any worse than that....Right?
