Harry Potter and the Prince of Slytherin 123 Manage.

Harry who still was oblivious about the situation looked confused, "What are you talking about?"

"The car." Ron said, "Where do we land it--where do we leave it? If we go to Hogwarts with the car, I am sure we are getting in trouble and if we leave it any far away, we will be late for the ceremony and still get punished for it and my mother would kill me."

Getting the gist of the situation, Harry began to worry as well, he looked back at Draco who seemed perfectly fine and not worried in the slightest. Feeling Harry's gaze, Draco sighed.

"Don't worry, I have an idea." Draco said, "Since you did me a favor, I will do one for you."

"What's the plan?" Harry asked feeling a bit relieved that not all of them were lost.

Draco sighed, "Weasley, Can you let me drive for a while?"

Ron looked at him for a while then back at Harry who nodded. After switching seats in an uncomfortable manner, they got back to where they were again.

"What are you planning on doing?" Ron said, "You do know how to fly right?"

"I do." Draco simply answered as he reached out his hands forward,

"What?" Ron said.

"Your wand."

Ron understanding gave his wand to Draco with a bit of hesitance, "So it's true huh?"

Draco stayed silent as Harry asked again, "Did they really take your wand?"

"How many of you know?"

"Only us." Harry said quickly to avoid misunderstanding, "Will you be fine without a wand?"

"I can manage." Draco said flicking Ron's wand couple of time, producing several sparks as he touched the steering wheel of the car again and again.

Worried that Draco might ruin the car, Ron hurriedly said, "What are you doing?"

"Fixing some things." Draco said, "The vehicle is lacking in a lot of things, so I am making the current spells on it, stable at the very least."

"How's that going to help us?"

"Write a letter to your parents that the car is going to be parked outside of Diagon Alley, I am enchanting it in a way, that it will land there on its own." Draco seeing Ron's unsure face, snorted. "I am better at spells than you think, Weasley."

"It's not that..."

"Ron, I am sure Mr. and Mrs. Weasley have already figured that we took the car, so there is no point in lying... let's tell the truth instead." Harry said, "I am sure they will understand our situation."

Draco handed a quill and paper to Ron who still looked confused, not paying attention to him any further he continued to drive the car.

After a couple of hours, Ron finally finished writing the letter as he was about to ask how he was going to send them, Hedwig came flying towards them and entered the car through an open window with a small piece of paper on its feet.

"It just says 'okay'," Harry said taking the paper and handing it to Draco. Draco nodded and didn't pay much attention to it, while Harry and Ron looked at each other, shrugging their shoulders, they sent Hedwig back with the letter as they sat in silence.

Day turned to night, and with the train below them, Harry was sure they were reaching Hogwarts in a few minutes.

"You have a plan for landing right?" He asked Draco.

"I do." Draco said taking out a pocket watch and his danger predicting ball, which showed no signs of dangers at all.

Draco put all the items back as he kept driving in silence.

"So...?" Ron said getting a bit frustrated.

"Wait half an hour and you'll get your answers." Draco said.

Harry kept chatting with Ron, to avoid conflicts between him and Draco while they waited.

"Get ready." Draco said.

"Ready for what?"

Without replying Draco, turned the car visible again. He slowed the car and started lowering it down. Ron and Harry were about to speak up once again when they suddenly saw a light blinking on top of the train. Wondering what it was, they got closer... only to find, Theodore, waving his brightly lit wand on top of the train.

"Don't tell me..."

Draco slowly pulled near Theodore and waved his hands. Theodore annoyed just looked at him with mild annoyance as he sarcastically waved back.

Draco clicked a button on the car and the trunk of the car opened up. One by one Theodore slowly used levitation spells to bring luggage from the trunk towards him and lowered it inside the cabinet. From within, Hermione and the rest of the girls including Ginny pulled the luggage in.

Harry and Ron surprised looked at Draco who was focusing his best on maintaining stability and his speed, as they finally realized that he had planned it all from the very beginning. The last item was Draco's suitcase, which was the easiest to pull and they got a hang of it quickly.

"Don't tell me, that we are going in the same way as the luggage." Ron said, gulping as he looked down from the car. He couldn't bring himself to believe enough in Theodore to pull him over to the side safely, Harry too had the same thoughts going on his mind as he looked very nervous.

"No, you idiots." Draco and Theodore said and at the same time. Harry and Ron looked at Theodore who was not on top of the train anymore but was flying alongside them on his broom, with another broom on his hand.

Theodore handed the broom to Harry as he nodded. Harry understanding what they were planning smiled as he looked at Ron, "Ready?"

Ron looked nervous as he nodded and looked at Draco, "Don't destroy the car." he said jumping out of the car with their broom.

"You ready." Theodore asked Draco, who nodded, "Let's go up."

Both of them started flying high and with the last bit of wand flicking, the car started driving on its own. Draco finding the right moment quickly jumped off the car, where he was quickly caught by Theodore. Draco looked back at the car, which started turning invisible again and disappeared.

"You do know how to get into trouble." Theodore snorted.

"Well, what can I say, it takes a certain talent." Draco said, climbing back on the broom carefully as they met up with Harry and Ron.

"So are we going to land on the train?"

"No, rather than doing that, it will be safe to land when the train stops." Draco said, "Just make sure to fly on the right side and just group in with the other students. Also, throw away the broom after we land."

Harry nodded as they kept flying to the side.

"You did what I told you to do, right?"

"Yes, I and the others managed to enchant the sweets that lady brings and lace it with a sleeping potion." Theodore said, "Give or take, I am sure most of the students are asleep. And we didn't cause much noise, so I am sure most people don't know about it."

"Even if they did, who are they going to blame?" Draco said looking around the train, "In this darkness, even I wouldn't be able to recognize myself."

"Are you sure, it's safe?"

"If it isn't... then we can obliviate them, aren't you good at it?"

Theodore grinned as they rode the broom silently alongside Harry and Ron. And as the train was about to land, they quickly hid near the forest and came out like regular students, mixing in with the students.

As they were walking, suddenly a bright light flashed across their faces, attracting the attention of the students around them. All the students realized that it was none other than Draco and Harry, the students who seem like first years started surrounding them, as they kept chanting their name.

Not knowing what to do, they froze in place. Luckily Pansy and Hermione arrived, as they shooed away the young girls around them and pulled them out of the crowd.
