Harry doesn’t listen and goes anyway.Ron Weasley and Harry go to the train station.They try to go through the barrier, but something is stopping them. Then Ron has an idea. “Lets go in the invisible car!” so Harry and Ron hop in the car and start going. They fly through the city of London. It starts out fine until the invisibility button stops working. They have no idea that a Muggle had seen them. They look for the Hogwarts Express. They go right in front of the track.They start hearing the train but they can’t see it. They hear it right behind them. they turn around just in time to see the train heading right for them. They serve out of the way just in time before the train smashes them to pieces. the engine starts to sputter and it sounds like it almost stopped working. they finally reach Hogwarts. they don’t know what to do so they just let the car go into the woods by itself. they run into Hogwarts and make it just in time to go to the Great Hall.
