The story of Fred and George's flight to freedom was retold so often over the next few days that Harry could tell it would
soon become the stuff of Hogwarts legend. Within a week, even those who had been eyewitnesses were half-convinced that they had seen the twins dive-bomb Umbridge on their brooms, pelting her with Dungbombs before zooming out of the doors.

In the immediate aftermath of their departure, there was a great wave of talk about copying them, so Harry frequently heard students saying things like, "Honestly, some days I just feel like jumping on my broom and leaving this place,"

or, "One more lesson like that and I might just pull a Weasley..."

Fred and George had made sure that nobody was likely to forget them very soon. For one thing, they had not left instructions on how to remove the swamp that now filled the corridor on the fifth floor of the east wing. Umbridge and Filch had been observed trying different means of removing it but without success.

Eventually, the area was roped off and Filch, gnashing his teeth furiously, was given the task of punting students across it to their classrooms. Harry was certain that teachers like McGonagall or Flitwick could have removed it in an instant, but I'm pretty sure they just wanted Umbridge to struggle.

"where is he taking us?" Asked Ron as they walked, Hagrid had just taken us away from quidditch.

"Can't tell you," Hagrid said.

"Hagrid! Why can't you tell us?" I asked, Glancing at Hermione.

Centaurs run through, and Hagrid talks about them being wilder, and how he's gonna be leaving soon with Dumbledore gone. These loud footsteps got louder and heavier.

"Grawp! Down here your big baboon!"

He turned around and went to grab one of us, we all backed up in time.

"Remember when I said I went to the giants," Hagrid told us. "I couldn't leave him there alone, he's my brother, Half brother. He's completely harmless!"

"He was being bullied," Hagrid added.

"Bullied?" Hermione said confused.

"For being small."

We all looked up at Grawp again.

"Small? Sure." Ron snorted.

Grawp then reached for Hermione, and before she could move, he lifts her into the air.

"Grawp!" Hagrid yelled at him. "That is very rude!"

"Hagrid! do something!" Panicked Ron.

"We do not grab, Grawp! We talked about this!"

Ron picks up a large stick and hits him in the leg, it broke through making Ron then fall back. He stood back up, as Hermione pointed a finger at Grawp.

"Grawp! put me down!" She demanded, "now!"

And he listened, he put her down.

"you good?" Ron asked.

"yeah, he just needs a firm hand." She Answered.

"Well, it seems you have an admirer." I joked, Hermione gives me an angry glance.

Grawp then turns around and gives Hermione a bike thing.

"He can get his food on his own, he just needs company! you three will look after him will you?" Asked Hagrid.

All three of us looked at each other.

I answered first, with a nice, "yes, we will."

"You think the match is over?"

"No," I said as I heard the Weasley is our king song.

"I wish they would stop that stupid song," Hermione said.

The Gryffindors ended up winning and beating Slytherin. Just like almost every single time.

Professors Marchbanks and Tofty strolled among them, watching as they entered the precise positions of the stars and planets they were
observing.

All was quiet except for the rustle of parchment, the occasional creak of a telescope as it was adjusted on its stand, and the
scribbling of many quills.

Half an hour passed, then an hour and the little squares of reflected gold light flickering on the ground below stared
to vanish as lights in the castle windows were extinguished.

As Harry completed the constellation Orion on his chart, the front doors of the castle opened directly below the parapet where he was standing, so that light spilled down the stone steps a little way across the lawn. Harry glanced down as he made a slight adjustment.

He saw four or five or six shadows..trying not to pay attention, he dragged his eyes back to his telescope, but his eyes traveled back.

All they could hear was yelling, people were stunning each other, and there were jets of red light.

"How dare you!" A figure shouted as she ran. "How dare you?"

"It's McGonagall!" Hermione whispered.

"Leave him alone!" McGonagall yelled and argued with anger.

Hermione, lavender, and Parvati all screamed. Four stubs shot from the figurines towards Professor McGonagall, who landed on her back and didn't move.

"Galloping Gargoyles!"

"COWARDS!" Hagrid yelled.

Two fires went up around Hagrid's hut where Hagrid was, and where McGonagall was and then after a minute, it disappeared. . .

"Lily.." Professor McGonagall whispered.

"Don't talk, you are hurt we have to get you help."

"Help Hagrid, Lily, not me."

"I did, I already did." The girl Professor McGonagall had mistaken for Lily Evans said.

And Now they were at St. Mungo's, the girl had looked completely different when everyone at the hospital, in that room, saw her. She didn't look like Lily, she had short and straight blonde hair fading into a light turquoise, she was tall, blue eyes, how did Professor McGonagall think that was Lily?

"She got attacked, I immediately came here, I didn't know what else to do when I saw her!" the girl said.
