CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

A month after the incident with the DA, the last Quidditch match of the season, Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw, was upon them. Olivia went into it expecting to lose as they had done the last match, thinking that Ron would get embarrassed and let in all the goals. The reigned true for the first Ravenclaw goal, but something seemed to change in Ron after that, and Ravenclaw did not score again for the entire match. On top of that, Ginny was the one that caught the Snitch, earning 150 points for Gryffindor and ending the match. Because of this, Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup.

As the players landed back onto the ground, Olivia found herself completely overcome with happiness and relief, so much so that she engulfed Ron in a hug and began to cry, two things she very rarely did. The Gryffindor spectators, immensely proud of their Quidditch team, quickly thought up a parody of 'Weasley Is Our King,' this version obviously praising Ron, who was carried back to Gryffindor Tower on the shoulders of his Housemates.

"We're doing it today," George told Olivia upon first seeing her in the morning of one fateful day in June.

"Today?" Olivia repeated.

"Today."

"When today?"

"Mid-afternoonish. Save you from your studying."

Olivia smiled. "My hero," she said before kissing him.

This is the conversation Olivia was reminded of as she heard the first boom. She had been peacefully studying in the library with Angelina, Alicia, and Lee, all of whom also knew about the plan. They were just waiting for it to begin.

BOOM.

A minute later, something hit Olivia in the back of the head. She turned around to see Arabella looking intently at her.

"What?" she mouthed to the younger girl.

"Is that Fred and George?" Arabella mouthed back, pointing down to the ground floor where it was all happening.

Olivia nodded. That was clearly all Arabella needed to know, for she stood up and made her way out of the library, Olivia and everyone else doing the same. On the way down to the commotion on the ground floor, they came across a swamp in one of the corridors no doubt put there by Fred and George. Some people stopped to ogle at it before being pushed along by their peers.

Once they and the rest of the school reached the ground floor, they were greeted by a few fireworks. After a bit, they stopped, but Olivia knew it was just the calm before the storm.

"Come to see the show, Professor?" Fraser called out to Professor Umbridge, who had just joined them along with Mr. Filch. Olivia quickly put her hand over his mouth to stop him from saying anything that would get him in trouble. He just pulled her hand away and glared at her.

"What ever are you talking about?" Umbridge asked in a demanding tone. "What show?"

As if her words summoned it, the 'show' started up again, led by Fred and George, flying down the staircases on their reclaimed broomsticks. George found Olivia in the crowd and shot a wink her way before turning to his twin and shouting, "Ready when you are!"

Fred nodded and threw the firework in his hand, activating it. It's sparks came together to form a dragon's head, and it was looking directly at Umbridge. The woman's eyes widened before she turned and ran away, running as fast as she could in her pink heels while the dragon kept up right behind her.

The twins then flew out into the courtyard and the students of Hogwarts ran after them, eager to see what they would do next. More fireworks greeted them, a fireworks show easily rivaling any professional one. The crowd of students erupted into excited cheers, impressed by the sheer nerve of the boys, who kept throwing fireworks out as they sped farther and farther away from the school.

A firework taking the form of a large golden letter W brought the show to a close. The infamous Weasley twins were no longer in sight, but their classmates continued to cheer them on.

"Just wait until everyone back home hears you're dating a Hogwarts drop-out," Faustus said, coming to stand next to Olivia.

"Well, I don't really care what they think," Olivia said honestly, "because I think he's brilliant."
