A Bit Of Mayhem

THE NEXT MORNING there was a new decree.

Umbridge had replaced Dumbledore as headmaster.

"Noticed have you?" Fred's voice asked and I turned my head to see him and George had just come down the stairs.

I was standing with Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ernie MacMillan, who had all just had house points taken away from us by Draco Malfoy and his new Inquisitorial Squad badge.

The Slytherin house points, however, haven't changed one bit.

"Malfoy just docked us all about fifty points." Harry told them.

"Yeah, Montague tried to do us during break." George said.

"What do you mean 'tried'?" Ron questioned.

"He never managed to get all the words out," Fred said. "Due to the fact that we forced him head-first into that Vanishing Cabinet on the first floor."

"But you'll get into terrible trouble!" Hermione said.

"Not until Montague reappears, and that could take weeks, I dunno where we sent him." Fred said. "Anyway... we've decided we don't care about getting into trouble anymore."

"Have you ever?" Asked Hermione.

"Course we have. Never been expelled, have we?" George pointed out.

"We've always known where to draw the line." Fred agreed.

"We've might have out a toe across it occasionally." Said George.

"But we've always stopped short of causing real mayhem." Said Fred.

"But now?" Ron asked his brothers.

"Well now -" George started.

"- what with Dumbledore gone -" Fred continued.

"- we reckon a bit of mayhem -"

"- is exactly what our dear new Head deserves."

"You mustn't!" Hermione whispered. "You really mustn't! She'd love a reason to expel you!"

"You don't get it, Hermione, do you?" Fred said with a smile. "We don't care about staying anymore. We'd walk right out now if we weren't determined to do our bit for Dumbledore first."

Fred and George had told me that they had actually put in a payment for the lot in Diagon Alley for their shop, so I wasn't surprised that they were going to leave.

Fred checked his watch as he continued talking. "So anyway, phase one is about to begin. I'd get in the Great Hall for lunch, if I were you, that way the teachers will see you can't have had anything to do with it."
