Diggory Is Still A Loser (book 2)

28- Fight And Flight

Fred and George's big suprise ended up being an enormous box of enchanted fireworks, which they set off around the school.
For the rest of the day, fireworks entered classrooms and disrupted lessons.
The teachers refused to deal with the fireworks themselves, forcing Umbridge to destroy them all single-handedly.
It pleased Celia to know that Umbridge's first day as Headmistress, was spent running around the school after fireworks.
Very soon though it was the Easter holidays, and unlike all her friends, Celia had decided to go home for the break, because she couldn't stand to be around Umbridge.
And since she was forbidden from going to Hogsmeade, Celia would only be able to see Benjamin if she went home.
As usual though, her parents ignored her, and Celia spent every day with Benjamin instead.

When Celia returned to Hogwarts, she was sad to hear that the Weasley twins had decided to leave.
"Can I really not persuade you to stay?" Asked Celia.
"I'm afraid not. We packed our suitcases this morning" revealed Fred.
"It's not going to be the same here without you" admitted Celia.
"I know, but we're only leaving a few months early, this was always going to be our final year" reminded George.
"Yeah, I guess so" sighed Celia.
"We've also sold a lot of Skiving Snackboxes, so even though we're not here, a part of us will be" admitted Fred.
"Yeah, you could call it our legacy" smiled George.

"But you won't be here to talk to me anymore" Celia said sadly.
"I know. But I promise we'll keep in touch and write you letters" reassured George.
"He's right, and it doesn't matter where we are, because we will always be here for you in spirit" insisted Fred.
"Yeah, and if you ever need us, we are only an owl away. We will drop everything and come to your aid, if you ever need us" added George.
"Thanks guys" replied Celia.

"You're welcome. Now, we really need to get going, afterall, we are doing this for a reason, and we are on a bit of a time crunch" admitted Fred.
"Yes, we need to cause a big distraction so that Harry can sneak into Umbridge's office and use her fireplace to talk to Sirius. Since he has to use hers, as it's the only one not being watched" agreed George.
"I just hope that Harry doesn't get caught breaking into her office, since he's already in enough trouble for starting the DA" Celia said quietly.
"He won't get in trouble, don't worry. Our distraction is pretty impressive, as you are about to see" grinned George.

Once the twins were in position, Celia hid herself so that she wouldn't get in trouble with them.
She then watched as they set off a large green bomb, which exploded, and covered the entire corridor in a thick green substance.
It wasn't long before a host of students, members of staff, and ghosts all showed up to admire the boys handy work.
And when there were enough people around, Celia came out of hiding and blended in with the crowd.

"So, you thought it would be amusing to turn a school corridor into a swamp?" Frowned Umbridge, as she glared at the twins.
"Pretty amusing, yeah" grinned Fred.
Celia watched as Flich pushed his way through the students to reach Umbridge.
"I've got the form, Headmistress. And I've got the whips waiting in my office, all I need is your written approval. Oh, please let me do it?" Begged Filch, who looked happier than Celia had ever seen him look.
"Very good Argus" replied Umbridge.

Umbridge turned from Filch to face the twins once more.
"You two, are about to learn what happens to wrong-doers in my school" informed Umbridge.
"You know what, I don't think we are" admitted Fred, before turning to face his brother.
"George, I think we've outgrown full-time education, don't you?" He continued.
"Yes, I have been feeling that way myself" replied George.
"Time to test our talents in the real world?" Asked George.
"Definitely".
The boys then raised their wands in the air, "Accio brooms" they said in unison.

There was a loud crash in the distance as the twins broomsticks broke free from Umbridge's office.
Once their brooms had arrived the boys summoned their trunks as well.
"We won't be seeing you again" Fred said to Umbridge, as he attached his trunk to his broom.
"Yeah, don't bother to keep in touch" added George.
Once their bags were secure, they began to mount their brooms.
"If anyone fancies buying a Portable Swamp, as displayed in the corridor, come to number 93, Diagon Alley- Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. Our new premises!" Announced Fred, to thd crowd around them.

"Special discounts to Hogwarts students who swear that they are going to use our products to get rid of this old bat!" Revealed George.
"Stop them!" Screamed Umbridge, as the twins began to rise in the air.
The Inquisitorial Squad ran forward, but they could not stop the twins.
Before they disappeared from sight though, the boys found Celia in the crowd and gave her a wink.
They then looked over at the poltergeist who was floating nearby.
"Give her hell for us, Peeves" instructed Fred.
Peeves removed his hat and saluted the boys as they flew off out of Hogwarts and into the glorious sunset.
