I can write again it looks like. Also I am in trouble.

[alt_harry]

I suppose the new journal fixed the problem with my writing. I think maybe I'm unlucky. Is there an opposite Felix Felicis. Because the barrier to Platform 9 3/4 messed up and me and Weasley were left out. Me and Ron I mean. And we had to fly. And Weasley got detention but I didnt. I dont think that's fair really. Not that I want detention Headmistress McGonagall!

Anyhow I am glad to be able to write again.

How can you possibly get in trouble before term even starts?

Is it because you hit the Whomping Willow? We all heard the crash, it sounded terrible.

[alt_harry]

I think it was more because the flying car wasnt something that kids are supposed to fly. Also it's illegal because its a Muggle thing. Father sent me a Howler already so I don't know why I'm not in detention forever. Maybe he thought that was enough?

[alt_draco]

No detention, even?

[alt_harry]

Not even. I said it wasn't fair.

[alt_hermione]

I'm glad that you're able to write again, Mr Marvolo.

[alt_harry]

You didnt get in trouble with anyone for me not being on the train. Did you? Nobody told me if you did.

[alt_hermione]

No, I didn't get in trouble, but Draco was really worried about you, just like Miss Perks said. I mean I was just doing what you told me to and going through ahead. I even brought your things all the way because that's what you told me to do.

[alt_harry]

You were very good Hermione. You did just as you ought. You should go to sleep now as we have a big day tomorrow. Like you did at Buckingham. Our rotine.

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm just glad you made it Harry, when you didn't get on to the train we were all really worried. Draco especially, I think he'd have climbed out a window and jumped down to go look for you except they don't open far enough.

[alt_harry]

Im glad too. Can you imagine being stuck at home while everyone else was at school!?

[alt_sally_anne]

Well you might not mind being stuck with the Woods. Quidditch every morning starting as soon as the sun comes up!

[alt_harry]

Only Oliver'd be at school, wouldnt he?

[alt_sally_anne]

I suppose he would. I'd get to have a lie in for once!

No really I'm awfully glad to be back. I'm glad you aren't stuck somewhere else. They'd have come up with a way to get you here one way or another, though, wouldn't they?

[alt_harry]

I suppose.

[alt_sally_anne]

But you might have had to wait around King's Cross, and that could be dangerous, couldn't it? Especially as you had no idea why the barrier wasn't letting you through.

Do they know yet why that happened?

[alt_harry]

Haven't a clue.

[alt_sirius]

What's this about a car?! I thought you meant a broom!

[alt_harry]

I don't think I am supposed to be talking to you.

[alt_narcissa]

Is that where you disappeared to, Harry?

It was really very, very foolish of you, I'm sure you realise. After all, we would surely have seen you and your acquaintance sooner or later on leaving the station, and then Mr Malfoy could have got you both to school quite safely.

Your Father is quite right to be most upset with you, Harry. Imagine if something had gone wrong!

[alt_ron]

No worries about the detention. I don't reckon it'll be the last time I get it.

But it was pretty wizard, you've got to admit, flying up above everything like that. I mean way higher than on a broom. And the train chugging away so tiny down there below us.

'Course it wasn't so great at the end. I'm never going near that tree again!!!

[alt_harry]

Me neither!!

I don't know, my broom flies pretty high. Higher than the school ones anyway.

Hello.
What will they do if we get into trouble?

From,
Hydra

[alt_sally_anne]

When people get into trouble they lose House points. Or if they're in really big trouble they get detention. Draco once had to go into the Forbidden Forest for detention but usually it's just something tedious and unpleasant, not exciti scary.

[alt_hydra]

That's all?
That isn't very bad.

From,
Hydra

[alt_sally_anne]

Well if they think you aren't taking things seriously they might give you a worse detention I suppose. And if you did something REALLY terrible you could be expelled but don't worry, I'm sure they won't expel you.

[alt_sally_anne]

Alright here's what I don't understand.

Everyone's acting like Ron kidnapped you. But you were both stranded behind the barrier and everyone else had gone through and for all you knew, the person who'd done something to the barrier was going to leap out and assassinate you both.

So what were you SUPPOSED to do, wait around and hope for the best?

Why are either of you in trouble? Now that I've calmed down (because I was really worried! we all were!) and thought about it I have to admit you did exactly the right thing, both of you did.

[alt_harry]

I dont know, because grown-ups are stupid? I think Father thought that I should have found an Auror. Only there arent enough Aurors that they can just walk around all the time. Or be there when you need them.

[alt_daphne]

I'm glad to hear you're all right, Marvolo. Malfoy was spare over your being missing.
