The scene shifted to Harry, Ron, Neville and Ryan dragging their suitcases up into the castle. When they got to the end of the staircase leading up to the castle, they put their belongings with the rest of the trunks and suitcases.

“So that’s where they put all of your things when we get off the train.” Remus said. “I always wondered.”

“See you, Hedwig.” Harry told his owl.

“Bye, Trevor.” Neville mumbled.

The four boys all started to march up the steps as Harry began talking. “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.”

When the four of them got to the top of the stairs, who else would be waiting for them but Angus Filch, their school’s caretaker. The group froze in their steps as Mrs. Norris, who was in Filch’s arms meowed loudly.

“Oh no.” Lily groaned.

“You could say that again.” Ryan murmured.

“Well, take a good look lads.” Filch smiled wickedly as he stroked his cat. “This night might well be the last you spend in this castle. Hm. Oh, dear, we are in trouble.”

“Wanker.” James murmured.

The scene changed to the dungeons of the castle. The camera was focused in on the evening issue of the Daily Prophet. ‘FLYING FORD ANGLIA MYSTIFIES MUGGLES’ was written in a large font above a black and white photograph of the Weasleys flying car driving through the air.

“That’s not good.” Regulus commented.

The paper was thrown down onto the desk and made a loud bang in the quiet classroom. Snape’s annoyed and angry face came into view of the camera and the scene shifted to show that the four boys were all standing before him with their hands behind their backs.

“You were seen by no less than seven Muggles.” Snape informed them angrily. “Do you have any idea how serious this is?”

Neville began to whimper in fear as tears filled up his eyes.

“Very serious?” Ryan asked. Snape turned to the boy and glared at him fiercely. Ryan gulped down hard. “Super serious?”

“He really can’t help himself, can he?” Evan said.

“You have risked the exposure of our world.” Snape told them in an even more upset tone. “Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that’s been on these grounds since before you were born.”

“Didn’t they put that tree there during our first year?” Marlene questioned. Remus stiffened at the question.

“Yeah, they did.” Dorcas nodded.
