Ron’s wand is smashed to bits, and they quickly figure out that the tree they’ve landed in is intent on killing them.
Professor Snape meets them in the grounds of the schopol. He says that Muggles saw them in the flying car – this means expulsion. . When Professor’s Dumbledore and McGonagall show up, however, Harry and Ron are relieved to discover they only get a detention and not expulsion. Professor Dumbledore warns them that he will be writing to Ron’s parents, and Harry’s Aunt and Uncle however.Professor Snape ia very disappoint that they aren’t expelled! Ginny has been sorted into Gryffindor, like all her brothers.
“Or he might have been sacked!” said Ron enthusiastically. “I mean, everyone hates him – ”
“Or maybe,” said a very cold voice right behind them, “he’s waiting to hear why you two didn’t arrive on the school train.”

Ron gets a Howler from his mother, who is furious with him for stealing the car. In Herbology, the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs learn about Mandrakes, which have magical restorative propreties. Professor Lockheart seems convinced that everybody adores him. He seems to have made a impression on Hermione, who has covered her timetable, with Lockheart’s lessons, with hearts. Lockheart doesn’t teach the second years anything useful in their DADA lesson. He brings along a cage full of Cornish pixies, and when they prove to be almost impossible to control he sets Ron, Harry, and Hermione the task of capturing them and leaves quickly with the rest of the class.
