On Sunday 3rd, the Hogwarts Express takes children from London to Hogwarts - except for Ron and Harry who panic when Dobby stops them getting to the train and take a flying car instead. Smart move. They fly into the whomping willow, which nearly kills them but the car helps them to escape and then drives off into the forest. They’re in trouble with all the adults and Hermione but all the other Gryffindor kids think it’s cool. James also thinks it’s cool, which is why he and Harry the Elder didn’t do anything to stop it from happening. Also, Ginny is sorted into Gryffindor and Luna and Toulouse into Ravenclaw. Also, Ron broke his wand in the accident and it keeps malfunctioning.
On Monday 4th, Ron gets a howler from his mum because his dad is facing an enquiry at work due to having a flying car when he literally writes the laws about not enchanting muggle things. Yeah, I am not blaming Ron for this one. Arthur’s the magical equivalent of Boris Johnson having piss-ups at Downing Street during lockdown. In Herbology the 2nd years learn about mandrakes. In Defense Against the Dark Arts they have a perfectly normal boring lesson with a perfectly normal boring professor and no Cornish pixies.
