3 A.M. (Oliver Wood) *ON HOLD*

Chapter Fourteen: Order of the Phoenix

Dear Celeste,

Fred and I have some news for you. We've quit school! Don't tell Mum, because we will, don't worry. We quit because of Umbridge. After Dumbledore disappeared, she took over, and everything went to hell. We hated it there, and it wasn't like we needed school to open the shop. Please come by the shop to check it out, and maybe help us finish setting up soon.

Fred & George'

Celeste wasn't surprised to see another letter come in almost as soon as she had finished reading Fred and George's letter. She grabbed the letter from Hedwig, and quickly read over it.

'Dear Celeste,

Dumbledore is gone. He took the fall for the DA, and he took off. Umbridge is not Headmistress, and she's making Hogwarts horrible. I know the twins told you they left, but they caused a huge ruckus, had Peeves in on it and everything.

I was wondering if you knew where Dumbledore was. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen, but I have no idea what it could be. I'm stressed out, and having Umbridge breathing down everyone's neck isn't helping.

Hermione believes that Umbridge is evil, something I thought she'd never see. Hermione always seemed to see only good in professors—other than Snape, but she sees it. Ron, Hermione, and I believe Umbridge is going to ruin this school. If things get any worse, I might do what the twins did and drop out. You wouldn't hate me for it, would you?

Harry'

'Dear Harry,

I have no idea where Dumbledore is, I'm sorry. Yes, I talked to the twins, and I'll be visiting them soon. I don't believe any of the others know where Dumbledore is either. Umbridge will be checking all letters to see though, and we know it, so I'm making sure she can't figure out either of us know too much.

Also, I don't believe Snape is a completely bad guy, he just isn't the nicest. He was one of the only people that gave me a little bit of a break when it came to adult Slytherins. I do believe Umbridge is pure evil though, but karma will get her soon, I promise.

Do not drop out of Hogwarts because of her. If she is still Headmistress next year, I'll figure out how to get you into another magical school or homeschool you, but I want you to at least finish your year. Don't do anything to anger her, otherwise she'll punish you.

Let me know if things get worse, and I'll try to get you guys some help. There's only so much I can do, since I don't have much pull when it comes to the way Hogwarts is run. I may have a little more pull than others though because of my blood, but I don't want to find out. Keep in touch.

Celeste'

After sending the letter to Harry, Celeste left her shop and went over to the twins'. She knew they'd already be there setting up, since they were so proud of their work. When she walked inside, she was surprised by how much stuff was already up and on display.

"It's looking good, lads." She commented, causing the twins to jump and turn around.

"Celeste!" They exclaimed, running over to hug her.

"What can I do to help you boys?" She asked, as she glanced around the room.

So much was already completed, and she doubted there was really anything she could do. The most she could probably do is set up the ladies' section the twins had mentioned a couple of times in their letters.

"We were wondering if you'd make us some chocolates that we could alter and turn into trick chocolates." Fred commented, and Celeste shrugged.

"Sure, I can do that. Just don't have people believing my chocolate is trick chocolate at my shop." She replied, causing the boys to laugh.

"No, we'll make sure everyone knows we altered the chocolate," George said,"You think we can buy some every couple of days?" He asked, making the girl nod.

"Just let me know what kinds and when. I'll have your deliveries on a schedule." She answered, smiling at the boys.

For two boys who were so full of pranks and mischief, she was stunned to see how serious and professional they could be when it came to their shop. She was very proud of them, and she planned to help them as much as she could to succeed. She felt like it was her job to help them succeed, since they had helped her so much with tasting chocolates and giving her new ideas.

"We were also wondering if Oliver would try out our trick snitch?" Fred asked, making Celeste bite her lip.

"I don't know, he takes quidditch real seriously." She replied, and the boys shrugged.

"It just zaps you when you catch it." George said, causing the girl to sigh.

"I'll see if he'll try it out, but I can't make any promises," She answered, watching as the boys silently cheered,"that doesn't mean he'll say yes." She added, making them grin mischievously.

"He'll do whatever you ask of him, so if you ask him to try it for us, he will." Fred replied, causing the girl to roll her eyes.

"You two are full of yourselves." She retorted, and they laughed.

George handed her a small box with the snitch in it, telling her to be careful and to not accidentally open it and get zapped. They knew she was a curious person, and she would probably zap herself if she wasn't careful.

She stuck the box in her pocket, before she asked to help them in their shop. George brought her to the ladies' section and had her set it up. She loved watching the twins set up the shop. Everything was so lively and amazing. The shop really showed their personalities, and it all came to life like they had wanted. She couldn't be anymore proud of them...
