Harry Potter Behind the scenes
“Right through the red light. Good job.” Murmured Harry Potter as he glared at his colleague Ron Weasley. Both of their faces were paralyzed with fear as their stomachs rolled around and their eyes were fixed on the road. Ron clutched the wheel and violently turned it. It was no use. This was definitely another scheme from Hogwarts. This was no ordinary car that they were “driving”.
It started as a prank. Ron and his brothers took the car and flew it around the Burrow (their house). Right as Molly Weasley yelled at them to come down, the car spun violently and zoomed away. It zoomed away. Next thing they knew, they were floating above 4 Privet Drive. The front bumper rammed a window, and there was a scream from inside.
“Ay, it’s Harry’s house,” exclaimed Ron. A face popped out from inside the window, and it was none other than Harry Potter. In a split second, a trunk was magically packed and put in the trunk. Ron reached out and grabbed Harry’s hand and pulled him in. The look on his face said: Elated. Harry was so excited to finally be away from muggles. The car slowly sank on to the street, and out the door came a big man with nearly red skin and a mustache.
“Get back here, boy!” The man said, as he started the car.
“Go! Go!” Harry screamed, half excited, half nervous. Ron slammed on the gas. They quickly flew out of the residential area, with their pursuer on their tail. Once they were in the city streets, Ron was swerving and speeding. Once they came to a yellow light, there was no choice but to zoom through. The next light was red, but it was now or never. Pedal to the metal. Surprisingly. Vernon Dursley was not letting his nephew get away. Next stop, the highway.
Near the highway, the car started slowing down.
“Ron, what are you doing?” Yelled Harry.
“I’m not doing this, we must be out of gas!” They got off the next exit. Vernon was stopped behind a car at a red light. Harry was at the front. Ron took the opportunity and turned. On the boulevard, a button started blinking that said INVISIBILITY. Ron pressed it. Vernon turned and they were gone. Then, Ron pressed AUTOPILOT.
It was a short hour until a castle appeared. Autopilot came off.
“Aaaaah!” All 4 of them screamed. Yep, Fred and George were still there. This would be a rough landing. Luckily, there was a big open field for them to land in. The car screeched to a stop and almost hit a wall.
“I’d run if I were you,” Fred said, opening a door.
“Thanks for the ride, Ron.”
Fred and George managed to hide by the time that Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore, and Severus Snape came out with enraged looks on their faces. It was not going to be fun.
