Bab 94: Chapter 94 Damn, Taxi!
[Translator: what a ugly and unattractive title is this author using]
With Irina's comfort, Hermione was not as anxious as before, but there was still a hint of worry on her face.
Time passed by, and as the sun set, Hogwarts Castle gradually appeared in everyone's sight.
The Hogwarts Express slowly stopped, and the broadcast asking the young wizards to change into their robes also sounded in each carriage.
On the other side, Ron drove the flying car into the range of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry like a flying monkey. At this time, Ron found that the flying car seemed to be out of control and no longer listened to his command, but fell to the ground.
You know, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as the only magic school in the UK, has the most powerful security magic in the British wizarding world. If any flying car can easily drive into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, then Hogwarts Castle can't be said to be safe.
Therefore, almost at the moment when the flying car drove in, it was disturbed by the powerful magic magnetic field. The terrifying magic impacted the body of the flying car, causing most of the functions of the flying car to fail.
"No!"
"Stop! Stop!"
Harry and Ron exclaimed, and right in front of them was the Whomping Willow planted by Hogwarts.
However, the flying car disturbed by magic would not do as they wished. Under their desperate eyes, the flying car hit the Whomping Willow hard.
Crack!
A loud sound of metal hitting trees came, and the flying car carrying Harry and Ron hit the thick tree trunk and fell to the ground. The body of the flying car shook violently.
Thick black smoke came out from under the deformed hood. Fortunately, the seat belt protected Harry, which prevented him from hitting the roof again.
"Are you okay, Ron?" Harry asked anxiously.
Ron said in a trembling voice: "It's over! My wand! Look at my wand!"
The wand in Ron's hand was almost broken into two pieces by the previous collision, and the upper end of the wand drooped down, with only a few pieces of wood connected.
Just as Harry wanted to continue talking, a violent collision sounded, and the huge force smashed the door on Harry's side like a bull, causing Harry to crash into Ron.
Then, another violent collision sound came, this time it was the roof that was hit, and the entire roof of the flying car was dented under this violent collision!
"What's going on?" Ron took a breath and stared at the windshield.
Harry turned his head and just saw a branch as thick as a python hitting the glass.
Harry finally saw the culprit who smashed the car. It was the tree that the car hit that was attacking them. Its trunk was bent into a bow shape, and the knotty branches hit every part of the car that it could reach.
Ron screamed, and another twisted thick branch smashed a big hole in his car door. Countless small branches as thick as finger joints launched a hail of violent knocks, shaking the windshield. A branch as thick as a battering ram was pounding the roof frantically.
At the same time, far outside the main gate of Hogwarts Castle.
A group of young wizards fell into silence as they watched the Whomping Willow, which was hundreds of meters away, constantly beating a car.
"Blimey, a taxi!" Looking at this familiar scene, Lynn subconsciously swore, and secretly gave a thumbs up to the Whomping Willow in his heart.
At this time, the castle gate was opened, and the young wizards withdrew their gazes and walked into the castle in an orderly manner.
On the Whomping Willow side, the flying car suddenly started successfully, taking Harry and Ron out of the Whomping Willow's attack range.
But then, Harry and Ron and their luggage were thrown out by the flying car that seemed to have become a spirit, and then the flying car left the two of them and drove away.
Flying car: Hit the road!
Harry held Hedwig's cage, looking confused: "This car... seems to have a strong sense of self-preservation?"
Ron also stood there in a daze, muttering: "You said you were an automatic transmission..."
After releasing the flying car, Harry and Ron dragged their luggage towards the oak front doors of the castle.
The two of them came to the bright windows of the castle. At this time, the Sorting Ceremony of this year had begun in the Great Hall.
Countless candles floated in the air, illuminating the four long House tables filled with people, making the golden plates and goblets sparkle.
The ceiling was full of stars, and this enchanted ceiling could always reflect the sky outside.
Through a dense mass of black pointed wizard hats, Harry and Ron saw the first-year students queuing up and nervously entering the hall. Ron's sister Ginny was among them, and her Weasley-style red hair was very conspicuous.
At the same time, Professor McGonagall was putting the Sorting Hat on the familiar four-legged stool.
"Wait..." Harry noticed something was wrong, "There is an empty seat at the staff table, where is Snape?"
Hearing this, Ron also found that the seat that originally belonged to Professor Snape was now empty. He said hopefully: "Maybe he's ill!"
Harry and Ron have always disliked Professor Snape, just like many elementary and middle school students dislike their teachers who like to hold them back after class.
Harry also speculated maliciously: "Maybe he left because he didn't get the Defense Against the Dark Arts job!"
Ron nodded in agreement: "Maybe he was sacked! You know, everyone hates him!"
"Or maybe," said a cold voice from behind them, making them feel like they were falling into an ice cave, "he's waiting to hear why you two didn't arrive on the school train."
Harry and Ron felt as though they had been turned to stone. They turned around and saw Professor Snape, looking like an overgrown bat, glaring at them with his sunken eyes.
"Follow me," said Professor Snape coldly.
So, Harry and Ron were led away by Professor Snape.
In the Great Hall, the Sorting Ceremony had ended at this time. After Professor Dumbledore stood up and gave a speech, he announced the start of the opening feast.
The sound of knives and forks clinking rang out in the hall, and both first-years and seniors were piling food onto their plates.
First-years were enjoying the delicious food they had never seen before, while seniors who were more familiar with Hogwarts were seizing the most generous feast that only happened four times a year.
The start-of-term feast, Halloween feast, Christmas feast and end-of-year feast were absolutely not to be missed for every young wizard who had spent a full year at Hogwarts Castle.
At the Gryffindor table, Hermione had no appetite because she was worried about her two foolish friends, but Irina stuffed a big chicken leg into Hermione's mouth, making her chew it subconsciously. Please recommend, reward and give me a monthly ticket, thank you for your support!
