Let's go.
Oi!
What do you two think you're doing?
Sorry.
Lost control of the trolley.
Why can't we get through?
I dunno.
The gateway's sealed itself for some reason.
The train leaves at exactly eleven o' clock.
We've missed it!
Harry, if we can't get through, maybe Mum and Dad can't get back?
Maybe we should just go wait by the car?
The car?
Ron, I should tell you, most Muggles aren't accustomed to seeing a flying car.
Uh right.
Oh no.
The Invisibility Booster must be faulty.
Well, come on then. Let's go lower.
We need to find the train.
Okay.
Now, all we need to do is catch up with the train.
We can't be far behind.
Do you hear that?
We must be getting close.
Hold on.
Ah!
Ah!
Harry!
Hold on!
Take my hand!
Hold on!
I'm trying.
Your hand's all sweaty.
I think we found the train.
Yeah.
Welcome home.
Up! Up!
It's not working!
Ah!
Turn! Mind that tree!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
My wand!
Look at my wand.
Be thankful it's not your neck.
What's happening?
I don't know.
Ah!
Ah!
Come on! Go!
Fast!
Scabbers, are you okay?
The car!
Dad's gonna kill me.
See ya, Hedwig.
So, a house-elf shows up in my bedroom, we can't get through the barrier to platform nine and three-quarters, we almost get killed by a tree.
Clearly, someone doesn't want me here this year.
Well, take a good look, lads.
This night might well be the last you spend in this castle.
Oh dear, we are in trouble.
You were seen!
By no less than seven Muggles!
Do you have any idea how serious this is?
You have risked the exposure of our world, not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born!
Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
Silence!
I assure you that were you in Slytherin, and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home.
Tonight.
As it is — [Dumbledore] They are not.
Professor Dumbledore.
Professor McGonagall.
Headmaster.
These boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry.
As such — I'm well aware of our by-laws, Severus.
Having written quite a few of them myself.
However, as head of Gryffindor house, it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action.
We'll go and get our stuff then.
What are you talking about, Mr Weasley?
You're going to expel us, aren't you?
Not today, Mr Weasley.
But I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done.
I will be writing to your families tonight, and you will both receive detention.
