Fred and George's pranks had got even more reckless as time had went on.

Everyone was crowded in the Entrance Hall, Theo, Blaise and I had watched it from the steps, out of the way.

Fred and George had covered Umbridge, all members of the Inquisitorial squad (including Draco) and some innocent bystanders in Stinksap after filling the corridor in front of Umbridge's office, with a portable swamp.

But it wasn't looking too good for Fred and George as they stood in the middle of the large and loud crowd, trapped in the chaos.

Harry came running down the marble stairs, the one's we were stood on.

"What's going on?" He asked me, red in the face and breathing heavy.

"Fred and George pulled another prank, portable swamp, and looks like its going to be their last" I said over the noise.

"So!" Umbridge said, as if she just won a sack full of galleons. She was only stood a few stairs below us. "So - you think it amusing to turn a school corridor into a swamp, do you?"

"Pretty amusing, yeah" Fred said, looking up at her with no trace of fear.

Filch elbowed his way to the pink dressed toad "I've got the form, Headmistress" He croaked, waving a piece of parchment. "I've got the form and I've got the whips waiting ... oh, let me do it now"

"Kinky" Theo and I said quietly at the exact same time, we both shared looks of adoration for each other before looking back at Umbridge and Filch.

"Very good, Argus" Umbridge said "You two, are about to learn what happens to wrongdoers in my school."

"You know what?" Fred said "I don't think we are." He turned towards George. "George. I think we've outgrown full-time education."

"Yeah, I've been feeling that way myself" George said, Grinning at Fred.

"Time to test our talents in the real world, d'you reckon?" Fred asked him.

"Definitely" George replied.

Before anyone could do anything, They both raised their wands shouting "Accio brooms!" at the same time.

There was a large crash from upstairs. Everyone turned and ducked quickly as Fred and Georges Broomsticks came flying towards them. The chain Umbridge used to hold them on her wand was still attached.

"We won't be seeing you" Fred told Umbridge as they both hopped on their brooms.

"Yeah, don't bother keeping in touch" George said.

Fred then scanned the area, looking at all of us.

"If anyone fancies buying a Portable Swamp, as demonstrated upstairs, come to number ninety-three, Diagon Alley - Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes" Fred Said loudly. "Our new premises!"

"Special discounts to Hogwarts students who swear they're going to use our products to get rid of this old bat" George added. Pointing at Umbridge.

"STOP THEM!" She shrieked. Fred and George kicked off from the ground before anyone could even come close.

Fred turned to the Poltergeist floating above us. "Give her hell from us, Peeves." He said.

Peeves pulled off his belled hat of his head and saluted my older brothers as they flew above the cheering and applauding crowd.

Hogwarts was in pieces after Fred and George's departure.

Everyone was trying to prove themselves as the next "Fred and George's" by pulling pranks everywhere. Their getaway had become an phrase among the students. You could normally catch someone saying; "Merlin, if I have to sit through another class, I'm going to pull a Weasley" or "If we get anymore Homework, I'm definitely doing a Weasley by the weekend". and such more.
