I was spending every waking moment with George and Fred as they prepared their big finale. We were sitting together at lunch the day after the midnight picnic when Harry came by."I need to talk to Sirius about what I saw. He'll know what to do. The only problem is, I don't know how. Last time Umbridge almost got him through the floo network. And she opens all our letters and packages." I heard him complain to Ron and Hermione.
"Actually, Umbridge's own floo network isn't being monitored." I said.
"How do you know that?" Fred asked, obviously interested in how I got this piece of Hogwarts insider knowledge.
"I'm part of the order, genius. Believe it or not, I still get vague, general updates from McGonagall at our lunch meetings." Emphasis on vague and general. For example, we know what Voldemort wants and that's where Mr. Weasley was the night he was attacked. And I know Harry takes occlumency with Snape. I had to back off my independent potions time because of it, which was fine because I needed to brew the anti-Umbridge potion. I know some things.
"I still can't believe our mum wouldn't let us join." George huffed.
"The only problem is, Harry, how are you going to get into her office?" Hermione questioned.
"We can provide a distraction!" Fred piped up. "We've had something major in the works for a while. We can guarantee probably around 20 minutes for you."
"Perfect. When?" Harry asked.
"How about today at 5:30 pm. The distraction will be on the opposite side of the castle. I suggest coming to see it if you finish before then. But make sure you're nowhere near that part of the castle until it goes off." he looks pointedly at me. "I don't want you to get blamed for any of it."

I was walking down to the Great Hall with my dorm mates, Lee, and the twins. The golden trio were making their way to Umbridge's office, where they would wait for Filch to summon her to the site of the twin's latest prank.
Before we entered the hall, George pulled me aside.
"This is it, isn't it. Your big finale." I said. I made no effort to hide the sadness in my voice.
"Yup. You sure you don't want to come with us? You can have a job in the shop until you figure something out." He said.
"I'm positive. Now go and fuck shit up out there. Make it worth it." I told him, meaning every word.
He pulled me in for one last kiss before walking away. It would be our last one for a while.
"Shake that ass a little, George! It's the last time I get to see it for a while!" He started shaking his hips a little more and blew me a kiss. I'll miss him.
It took a few minutes, but eventually Peeves came into the Great Hall screaming about a swamp in the east corridor. That's them. I started racing out of the hall with all the other students. They had kept me out of the loop for this one and I was eager to see what they did.
There they were-standing in a massive swamp. I have no idea how they created it; it wasn't a product I assisted on. George saw me and winked. Umbridge was screaming at them.
"You'll get it this time! Oh, do I have the punishment for you two!"
At that moment, Filch came up doing his weird prance-run screaming about how he has the permission slip to hang them by their ankles and beat him. He loves Umbridge because she lets him do whatever he wants.
"Actually, Professor we've been thinking." Fred started.
"That our time here at Hogwarts has come to an end." George finished.
"So we'll have to say no thank you to the ankle hanging, Filch." Fred said.
" A real shame" George snickered.
"Accio brooms" they said together. Their brooms came flying from their dorm and into their hands.
"Give her hell from us, Peeves" They saluted him as they flew off. Surprisingly, Peeves saluted back.
As they flew off, I took a picture of them. They looked so carefree as they escaped.
Umbridge was pissed. She was going to be even more pissed when she discovered three brooms were still locked in her office. She told the other teachers to clean up this mess. They did so, all looking very impressed with the twins. Filch even saved a portion and added a plague to commemorate the twins.
