Chapter 289

~3 min read 598 words

"Darren is not dead; he is doing very well right now. Once he wakes up, he'll be jumping around again. Besides, you must know that Lily had two children, and Harry also has a pair of green eyes, very much like Lily's..."

Under Snape's look, which suggested he was staring at an idiot, Dumbledore helplessly stopped mid-sentence.

With Darren right in front of them, who would still be looking at a pair of eyes?

"Then you should stay here..."

"No, I am going to wait for Harry Potter right now. Just as you said, Dumbledore, perhaps I should get to know that child a little better!"

Dumbledore was speechless.

He wanted to refuse, but Snape was a professor at Hogwarts; it was impossible for him not to see Harry.

Perhaps one could dodge the first day, but not the fifteenth.

"Very well, Severus, don't be too harsh on a child... I remember that you and James once had a wonderful school life together...

Ahem, you have blood on your clothes; it must have rubbed off from Darren..."

Dumbledore interrupted himself, hurriedly changing the subject and pointing to the bloodstains on Snape's robes.

"Hmph, foolish little brat!"

Snape waved his wand to evaporate the blood and strode out of the infirmary. Harry felt that today was just too miserable.

Early in the morning, he had to face the misfortune of Darren being taken away by Nicolas Flamel.

They finally reached King's Cross Station with great difficulty.

As it turned out, the whole Weasley family got in, but he and Ron couldn't.

When they pushed their luggage carts to charge through, they were actually slammed to the ground.

In order to catch up to Hogwarts.

He and Ron made a bold decision.

They decided to drive the car and fly to Hogwarts.

According to Ron, in an emergency, underage wizards are allowed to use magic.

So, the two of them excitedly made the car fly up.

This car could even turn invisible occasionally.

At the very beginning, the two of them were especially excited because there were beautiful clouds everywhere, like a fairyland.

Harry thought that if Darren saw this, he would definitely love it.

So he and Ron watched the clouds while eating toffee.

They could even imagine how jealous Fred and George would be when they landed the car on the Hogwarts lawn.

Darren might be a little angry, but he would be more worried about them.

As long as they were safe, Darren wouldn't say anything.

So perhaps what they would see was a scene of envy and praise.

But that was just the initial feeling.

As time went on, they found themselves feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Because they had eaten too much toffee and had no water to drink.

Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and they were extremely thirsty.

They began to miss life on the train.

But why couldn't they get into Platform Nine and Three-Quarters?

After another hour or so, they became even more irritable.

The car even started to shake faintly.

The sky was getting darker.

The car was becoming increasingly powerless.

Harry and Ron felt more and more terrified.

Until.

"It looks like we're almost at Hogwarts!"

Ron said in a hoarse voice.

But the car started to shake incessantly, as if it were about to fall apart.

"Please... just let us get down..."

They began to coax the car incessantly, trying to get it to calm down.

"Help us out..."

"We're almost there!"

"Help!"

"We're going to fall, ah, Ron, hurry up and make it fly!"

"Please... I beg you..."
