Chapter 473: Angry Tonks

The next morning, everyone stood at the door of the Burrow, ready to go to King's Cross Station.

Soon, a blue car drove over from a distance.

At this time, the Ministry's cars were very tight. When Fudge learned that Harry was also here, he directly ordered the best car to be transferred.

This was probably a return of favor.

After returning from the Ministry of Magic that day, Harry stayed at the Burrow and did not reveal the assassination attempt at all, which saved the Ministry of Magic from a lot of trouble.

In return, borrowing a car to go to the station was really not worth mentioning, and Fudge had no reason to disagree.

In addition, it was safer this way.

They had confirmed that the Ministry staff member who wanted to assassinate Harry was indeed under the Imperius Curse. In order to prevent any accidents before Harry returned to Hogwarts, Fudge even sent an Auror as a driver.

It was just that this Auror didn't seem very reliable.

Tonks, with her fiery red hair, was obviously in a bad mood. She kept talking all the way, either cursing people or the car, and even Bill, who was sitting next to her, was not spared... because he didn't help to curse the guy who crossed the road just now.

Ginny sat behind her, hugging her arms and trembling, not daring to breathe, for fear that Tonks would turn around and take her with her.

The start of school was not a happy thing in the first place, and with such a bad-tempered driver, the car was quiet all the way, so quiet that it was scary.

Fortunately, half an hour later, they finally arrived at King's Cross Station.

Tonks was the first to get off the car. The moment she opened the door, her hair turned from red to a bright bubble pink.

"We're here."

She patted the car door and said with a smile: "Everyone get off the car, remember to take your luggage with you, and don't forget anything."

Everyone got off the car without saying a word, took out their luggage from the trunk, and then walked quickly towards the station.

No one spoke during the period, even Fred and George, who always liked to quarrel, rarely calmed down.

It was not until they passed through the wall and walked into Platform 9 that Fred breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Merlin is my witness, I will never ride in Tonks' car again, never!"

"If there is a next time, I would rather walk from home!" George said.

Others nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go." Mrs. Weasley said beside her: "Tonks is a good person... Of course, the premise is not to drive." She added silently in her heart.

It was also the first time that Mrs. Weasley knew that Tonks was so irritable when driving, just like a different person.

She wanted to remind Tonks to pay attention to her image several times, but she couldn't find a chance to interrupt. She finally said it, but Tonks, who was angry, didn't hear it.

In the end, she could only sigh silently and pretend that she didn't hear anything.

On the platform, the Hogwarts Express had stopped there.

"Ah, I really hope I can go back to Hogwarts this year." Bill said, his hands in his pockets, looking at the crimson train, his expression a little melancholy.

"Why..." George asked.

"You will have a very interesting year." Bill's eyes sparkled, "Maybe I will take a leave to watch part of it..."

"Part of what..." Fred was a little impatient.

It has been like this since the holiday, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Percy... Everyone is playing dumb.

But no matter how he asked, Bill just smiled and said nothing.

Kyle knew that this was another wizard's bad taste, just like the freshman sorting... the so-called surprise.

Tsk, it's just the Triwizard Tournament, what's the big deal... So when George looked over, he shrugged and said: "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Just then, the departure whistle sounded.

They hurriedly boarded the train and leaned out of the window to talk to Mrs. Weasley and Bill.

"Thank you for letting us stay, Mrs. Weasley!" Qiu waved his hand.

"Oh, I'd love to, dear." Mrs. Weasley said, "I want to invite you to spend Christmas at home, but... I don't think you will be willing, because... one reason or another."

Ron wanted to ask more, but the train had already started, and his words were drowned out by the whistle.

Mrs. Weasley smiled and waved at them, and then she and Bill Apparated without waiting for the train to turn the corner.

Kyle and the others returned to the compartment, and Fred and George kept complaining that everyone kept them in the dark.

Cedric's mouth moved, and he turned his face to the other side, holding back his laughter. Obviously, he also knew, but he was not going to tell them either.

In fact, it was quite interesting to see Fred and George like this now.

After the train drove out for a while, it started to rain again, and the dense raindrops hit the glass windows, making it difficult for them to see the scenery outside.

"Where's Connor?"

At this time, Qiu suddenly asked, "Didn't she get on the train?"

"I think she should be in another car now." Cedric said, he looked at Kyle, "Take it out quickly, we should go over too."

"Take out what..." Fred asked subconsciously.

Then he saw Kyle take out an envelope from his pocket.

"Ding!"

As Kyle opened the envelope, a round object fell on the table.

"Oh, damn!" Fred and George's faces suddenly became uglier, as if they had eaten a handful of beef liver-flavored Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans.

They were too familiar with this thing. Percy had shown off countless times in the past two years.

Prefect badge!

"Oh, there is another prefect among us, that's great..." George dragged out his voice.

"No, it should be two." Qiu smiled and pinned his prefect badge on his robe.

Looking at Fred and George again, their faces had turned into beef liver color.

The two had always believed and firmly believed that they would never want to be prefects in their lives, but now this idea was shaken.

Who would have thought that except for the two of them, everyone else in the group of six was actually a prefect.

This was a bit too much, could they still play together in the future?

However, this was not over yet. Kyle and the others seemed to be deliberately showing off, wearing prefect badges and wandering around in front of them for a long time, but they just didn't leave.

Fred and George were so angry that they picked up their luggage on the spot and pushed open the door of the box to find Lee Jordan.

The prefects are really amazing. Can't they just leave?

A burst of happy laughter suddenly broke out in the box.

"Are we going a little too far?" asked the honest Qiu in a low voice.

"Don't worry, they are not so petty." Kyle said, patting his box, "and I have a way to make them forget the unpleasantness of today and call us prefects willingly."

The three of them left the box with a smile and walked towards the prefect's car at the front.

Kanna was indeed here. After seeing Kyle and Qiu, she was a little nervous and immediately relaxed a lot.

"Why did you take so long to come?" she asked.

"Of course it was to give Fred and George a surprise." Kyle said, "You really should have come with us, so it would be more neat."

"What?" Kanna didn't understand.

Qiu came up and whispered something to her, and soon Kanna couldn't help laughing.

"Aren't you afraid that they will change your badge to "Big Head Boy"?" Connor said, "Just like Percy."

"No." Kyle waved his hand confidently, "They don't stand a chance."
