"Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember. Allow it to fill you up." Harry announces while pacing the room of requirement. Teaching us how to cast our Patronus's. I stand trying to think of any happy memory. "Astra, you okay." George asks. "Yeah sorry, zoned out trying to think of a happy memory." I tell him, finally locking eyes. "Think of all the good times, you had with us." Fred beams, throwing his arm around his twins shoulders. "Your turn George." Harry says, walking towards us. "Expecto Patronum" He announces, but to no avail. "Aww how about we both think about this moment" I whisper, before pecking him on the lips. "Get a room you two, or have a kiss for me Astra." Fred jokes, puckering his lips. I look at George and he winks. I somehow know what he means. I stand up on my tippy toes once more and peck Fred on the cheek. Fred beams from ear to ear. I glance over as Harry passes Ginny, she looks at him and produces hers perfectly. A horse prances around her majestically.

"Expecto Patronum"

The twins say in unison. A corporal form of a Magpie flies out of each of their wands. I can do this if they can. I close my eyes and think of all the happy times I've spend with the twins, especially George. "Expecto Patronum." I say with as much happiness I can muster. I open my eyes as a corporal wolf materializes from my wand. The Magpies suddenly fly down and land my wolfs back, and fly around looking at each other playing like they are best friends. "What did you think about Fred" I beam, giving him a mischievous look. "Not that kiss if that's what your insinuating. I was thinking about all the times we pranked together, but mostly how happy you make George." He tells me, as we both look at him already blushing.

Ron produces his and its a little fox terrier, which runs around knocking Neville to the ground.

'Thud'

'Bang'

'Smash'

All the Patronus's disappear when everyone looses concentration.

The glass lining the wall falls to the ground with a smash. A hole is seen in the wall. The entire group of students merge together, Stella ends up standing with the twins and I. "I'll make short work of this." Umbridge's usual high pitched voice spoke from beyond the wall. "Bombarda maxima."

'BOOM'

The wall explodes into a cloud of dust and rubble. As the debris clears I see the Slytherins, including my brother standing behind Umbridge. Draco has a scared looking Cho Chang in his grip.  "Get them." She demands.

****

Well guess were all in trouble now. Possibly one of her usual detentions, that I'm used to by now. I do worry for the others though.

A new decree is now on the wall.

'Delores Jane Umbridge has replaced Albus Dumbledore as head of Hogwarts.'

Detention was held in the great hall, with Umbridge sitting in front of us, all high and mighty, drinking from her cup of tea. I was right she's making us write lines, with her special blood quill. This time we write the words ''I must not participate in any illicit activities' We all suffer quietly in pain as our hands hurt from the words being burnt into our skin. As we exit the hall after writing our lines, Cho is seen standing by the stairs, everyone walks past, ignoring her. Even Harry.

That evening after the detention, the twins and I are sitting down on a seat in one of the dark corridor's. Were comforting a young Gryffindor boy, because his hand hurts from using Umbridge's blood quill. "What's your name?" Fred asks the sobbing boy. "Michael." The boy responds. "Your hand's gonna be fine, Michael." George tells him as he kneels in front of the boy. "Yeah, it's not as bad as it seems." Fred adds. "See? It's fading already." I say, rubbing the boys hand. "You can hardly see ours anymore" George says, looking at me. "And the pain stops after a while. I would know I've had my fair share of detentions."

Harry makes his way over, then we hear the throat clear of the culprit her self. "As I told you once before, Mr. Potter, naughty children  deserve to be punished." She says, before walking away still glancing our way. "You know, George, I've always felt our futures lay outside the world of academic achievement." "Fred, I've been thinking exactly the same thing." George replies to his twin. "Wait, what does that mean." I ask, still sitting down next to Michael. They don't answer. "Come on Michael, Ill take you back to the common room." Harry says, looking at the twins then at me. Michael follows Harry.

"What did you mean by that." I stand, the second the others are out of sight. "Don't you worry little one." Fred says, patting me on the head. "Yeah you have your exams to worry about." George replies, holding my hand in his. I look into his eyes. I know they aren't telling me something important. "You'll find out soon enough," Fred adds, seeming like he just read my mind.

I shake my head and walk off without them towards the dungeons. I feel slightly bad, getting the sinking feeling this might be the last time I see him for a while.

The day of the exams approach, our whole year are sitting in the great hall, instead of the house tables its full of desks to sit at. Umbridge is standing at her usual spot overlooking us, with a big pendulum swinging behind her. It's all silent as were all concentrating, when suddenly a big 'boom' is heard in the corridor. Umbridge walks down the line of desks to check the sound out, as she opens the great hall doors a sizzling, firework crackles in her face, then whooshes towards the middle of the hall where were all sitting. It bursts into a big firework spectacle. Moments later the Weasley twins come flying in on their brooms, yelling and throwing more fireworks, this time when they explode so does our exam papers.

George swoops down grabbing my waist pulling me onto his broom. I laugh and smile as we fly around the room. The boys high five each other as they pass over a mad looking Umbridge. "Throw one at your brother will you." George beams, handing me a firework. I cant say no to that, its all fun and games after all. I throw one towards the Slytherins, it crackles in front of Goyle's face, he smacks it away towards Crabbe's face. It chases him down and smacks him in the butt. And a scared looking Draco whimpers against the wall. He manages to duck away before it pops, leaving an imprint of my brothers scared face on the wall. Flitch come waddling in with a mop. 'Like that's going to clean up this mess' I mutter. Recieveing a laugh form George.

"Ready when you are" Fred yells to his brother. George grins holding a bigger firework in his hands, he kisses my cheek before throwing it up into the air, it booms into many fireworks, manifesting a big Dragon. It swoops down towards Umbridge growling and snarling, chasing her out of the room. It explodes right as she gets to the doors, destroying all of the decrees on the wall behind her. They smash down towards the ground as Umbridge lets out a scream. The twins fly over her and towards the sky, with me still on the broom. George throws another firework forming a big 'W' in the sky advertising sweets. He swoops down dropping me off on the ground. I shake my head as tears appear in my eyes. "Give her hell from us Peeves" The twins yell, before George throws one last firework into the sky, and above my head a sparkling heart appears with our initial's inside. They zoom off, disappearing into the distance.
