Como os pais Weasley chegaram de King's Cross em Chamber of Secrets?

Harry realmente tem esse mesmo pensamento exato, e Ron diz a ele que seus pais podem apenas aparatar.

“But your Mum and Dad…” said Harry, pushing against the barrier again in the vain hope that it would give way. “How will they get home?”

“They don’t need the car!” said Ron impatiently. “They know how to Apparate! You know, just vanish and reappear at home! They only bother with Floo powder and the car because we’re all underage and we’re not allowed to Apparate yet.…”

EDIT: Para esclarecer, esta troca ocorre apenas na versão americana, mas é considerada canon.

“They don’t need the car!” said Ron impatiently. “They know how to Apparate! You know, just vanish and reappear at home! They only bother with Floo powder and the car because we’re all underage and we’re not allowed to Apparate yet.…”

O bugio simplesmente mostra como o Sr. e a Sra. Weasley ficaram furiosos quando encontraram o carro e mencionou como o Sr. Weasley está com problemas no trabalho.

"STEALING THE CAR, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SURPRISED IF THEY'D EXPELLED YOU, YOU WAIT TILL I GET HOLD OF YOU, I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU STOPPED TO THINK WHAT YOUR FATHERAND I WENT THROUGH WHEN WE SAW IT WAS GONE - - LETTER FROM DUMBLEDORE LAST NIGHT, I THOUGHT YOUR FATHER WOULD DIE OF SHAME, WE DIDN'T BRING YOU UP TO BEHAVE LIKE THIS, YOU AND HARRY COULD BOTH HAVE DIED - -ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED - YOUR FATHER'S FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK, IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT AND IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT BACK HOME."

os garotos não mencionam nada, eles apenas assumem que os Weasleys estão presos

"It's gone," said Ron, sounding stunned. "The train's left. What if Mum and Dad can't get back through to us? Have you got any Muggle money?"

De acordo com HP5, o Sr. Weasley normalmente aparata para trabalhar. A decisão de levar o carro foi uma espécie de tratamento excêntrico para a família, e é por isso que os garotos parecem ter decidido que não houve consequências em encalhar os pais Weasley no centro de Londres:

‘You don’t normally walk to work, do you?’ Harry asked him, as they set off briskly around the square.

‘No, I usually Apparate,’ said Mr Weasley, ‘but obviously you can’t, and I think it’s best we arrive in a thoroughly non-magical fashion … makes a better impression, given what you’re being disciplined for …’

Nós também sabemos que a Sra. Weasley é capaz de aparatar.
