Under the staff's guidance, Vizet and the others boarded the roller coaster.
Fred and George jumped into the very front seats, their faces full of excitement and anticipation.
They even pushed the restraints back up again. When the staff noticed, they were badly startled and rushed over to them, explaining with words and gestures.
The restraints were pushed back down again. Fred and George shook their heads in perfect unison and sighed. "What a shame..."
Vizet and Luna sat in the row behind them. Vizet said, "When you're at Hogwarts and pulling pranks, don't you think about how not to break the School Rules? It's the same principle."
Bound by the restraints, Fred and George turned around with difficulty. "Oh! When you put it like that, we understand!"
The clack-clack of the chain sounded, and the roller coaster slowly started up the slope.
Hermione, Neville, and Hanna grew a little nervous and all asked at once, "Why is it still going up..."
When it reached the highest point, the roller coaster paused slightly. The brief stillness cut off their question, leaving only the low whistle of the wind around them.
The Baby Thunderbird seemed to sense something and did not continue standing on Vizet's shoulder. It flapped its wings and flew into the air.
The roller coaster began to glide forward smoothly, slowly turning along the track, its speed not exactly fast.
Hermione, Neville, and Hanna gradually relaxed. Their backs rested against the seats, and they no longer held their breath in rigid concentration as their stiff bodies loosened.
Hermione stopped gripping the restraint, even turning her head leisurely to look curiously at the Indian temple close at hand.
This curve was much shorter than they had imagined. The roller coaster suddenly tilted, its speed surging as it plunged downward.
