In Harry Potter as Neville Longbottom

"Harry!"

Somehow Ron and Harry managed to avoid the Howard Express that was behind them but now Ron is unable to control the car.

"Harry…. Hold on!" Ron cried when Harry's door suddenly opened, and he was thrown off his seat. Harry managed to grab the handle on the door that saved him from falling down.

"I am trying to…" Harry replied and tried to grab his hand.

"What the hell are they doing?" Hermione is beyond furious at the scene. Ron and Harry are not only driving a flying car but now harry is almost going to fall to his death.

"They are having fun." Seamus said and Dean shouted, "That looks wicked!"

Pansy was the only one worried - "He is going to fall! We have to help him!"

"Don't worry, Pansy. He is fine. Look!" Neville pointed towards the latest scene where Harry managed to somehow get back inside the car.

The boys went crazy at their stunt while the girls had a different reaction.

Ron managed to get the car back in control and he drove it above the clouds. It was like they were following the train now.

"They are going to drive that car, straight to Hogwarts?" Pansy questioned at this time thinking something.

"I think so," Hermione replied.

"You think they have enough magical power stored in that car? I mean even on a flying carriage; you cannot drive straight to Hogwarts. Otherwise, why would they need a train? Plus, the journey takes almost the whole day.

So, unless, they have enough fuel and magic in that car, chances are, it is going to crash. Isn't that right Neville?" Pansy questioned and Neville just shook his head.

This might be true for others but someone who is the true protagonist, Harry Potter, nothing is going to kill him. Not yet.

"Well, I guess, it might be dangerous, but I think they can manage on their own." Neville replied in the end while Hermione started writing a letter and then gave it to her Owl and let it fly away from the train.

The Owl, the first pet of Hermione, took off straight towards the Saviour and Ron and landed inside their car. Harry was surprised but without thinking too much opened the letter.

"Harry and Ron,

You better stay safe and stay near us. The journey will be long, and your car might lose all the magic. So, it is better to be prepared. I am not sure how professors will react, but I think Professor snape and Professor McGonagall won't be happy with this stunt.

Just be safe.

Hermione."

Harry read the letter out loud, and Ron heard him clearly.

"I don't think Hogwarts is that far. It will be fine. Besides, if there is an issue, we can simply park this near Hogwarts." Ron brushed the concerns regarding the car aside. Harry wanted to say something, but he also chose to believe in Ron and they both ignored Hermione's letter.

"Harry, why do you think we couldn't enter into the platform?" Ron asked while driving the Ford.

"I dunno. But I think I do have an idea. During the holidays, I met one House-elf. He was a troublemaker. I tell you. It might be him." Harry replied after thinking about the weird house elf, Dobbie.

That bastard tried to stop him from coming to Hogwarts and made his life hell by throwing the pudding on the floor his aunt made. He said he wanted to help him but then vanished from there leaving him alone to suffer the torture.

"We can tell Dumbledore about that. He has to believe us. Right?" Harry asked Ron but he was not sure if Dumbledore would believe him. After all, everyone else passed through the barrier.

"I think so." Ron replied while his attention was outside the window.

The view from above the clouds was beautiful and Harry also let go of his worries. The car passed through the sea of fluffy clouds, and they pulled the car up a little higher. The sky a pure, charming blue under the dazzling white sun.

"All we've got to worry about now are airplanes," said Ron. They looked at each other and started to laugh; for a long time, they couldn't stop. This was the most exciting thing they had done since they entered Hogwarts and it was a wonderful way to start their new year.

Harry felt this was surely the only way to travel — crossing the floating snowy clouds, in a car full of dazzling hot sunlight, with flavoured candies and drinks in the glove compartment, and the dream of landing in a heroic entry in front of the green lawn outside the Hogwarts castle.

"Here. Have this. I bought this from the money I got from Fred." Ron gave Harry some funny candies and both soon started their small joy feast inside the car. Eating and drinking and sharing funny stories.

They both would check up on the train below them after a certain interval and made sure they followed the Hogwarts Express carefully. The duo were in their own world at this moment.

"Do you think they read the letter?" Hermione asked Neville but she knew Ron. Ron was the stupidest Wizard she ever met. Always full of arrogance and not even trying to learn anything. Ignorant and childish to the level you can't even believe he was a pure-blood wizard.

"Who cares?" Neville ignored the saviour duo and the future famous five soon got busy with their own holiday stories. Dean shared the exciting story about meeting his uncle's family and learning about Voodoo magic tricks. Seamus showed them how easily he could practice his charms now and the girls told them about their books.

Then there was a knock, and an old lady opened the doors of their compartments.

"Do you want anything kids?" The famous Trolley witch came pushing her "Honeydukes Express" cart, with lots of confectionery goods to purchase.

"Perfect. Let me treat you guys." Hermione cheered at the prospect of sharing some candies with the others bought from her own hard-earned money.

While Hermione was buying the candies, she noticed a blonde girl dragging her suitcase and looking for a seat. It was odd looking at the scene as the journey was already halfway and someone was still looking for a seat.

"Hey! Come here!" Hermione shouted at the girl and the girl gave her a beautiful smile and dragged her suitcase towards her.
