Fred and George's paintwork
Umbridge was having the morning of her life; Fudge had just sent her a new decree that officially gave her more authority than all the other teachers, even Dumbledore. She thought that nobody could stop her now. She had a point, none of the teachers or anybody with any power could do anything about it, but she had forgotten about the Weasley twins.
While she was sitting in her office trying to decide which teacher she would sack next, Fred and George were just finishing their next big project: Weasley`s permanent paint; irremovable black paint that even a vanishing spell couldn't get rid of permanently, because it would always reappear one hour later. Their plan was to test it on in Umbridge's office. So, when everyone left for their first lesson, Fred and George went down to the first floor carrying to huge tubs Weasley's permanent paint. But, to their dismay, Filch was patrolling the corridor. They realised that he would probably be there all day, which kind of spoiled their plan. Just then, they heard a cackling voice saying:
"Why, why, it's the weasels, and there up to no good! Ooooooh, naughty, naughty! Tut, tut you'll get caughty." Fred and George knew immediately who it was.
"Peeves!" exclaimed Fred.
"Want to have some fun?" said George.
"Mmmmm, should call Filch you now, if you're messing around in the corridors…" said Peeves mockingly.
"We just want to give our dear High Inquisitor a little present to congratulate her on her latest educational decree" explained Fred in a saintly voice. "
"Oooh, is it going to be smelly, smoky, smashy or mouldy?" asked Peeves in a gleeful voice.
"We're not telling, are we George?" replied Fred
"No. Well, not unless you get rid of Filch for us" said George
"Ooooh, yees! Peevsie sure knows how to have fun with Filchy!" Excaimed Peeves as he drifted down the corridor.
A few seconds later, the twins heard a few suits of armour clang as they fell to the floor and a loud shout of "Peeves! Come here you bastard!" They couldn't help laughing as they saw Filch running after Peeves, while Peeves threw ink pellets and walking sticks at him as he chanted: "Wee, I'll bash your nosey, I'll smash your cat, and you won't catch me, 'cause you're too oldie for that!"
"You just wait 'till educational decree number 57 comes out Peeves! I'll have you thrown out once and for all" shouted Filch just before an ink pellet went up his nose.
When both of them were out of view, the twins turned to the door of Umbridge's office.
"Alohamora", whispered George, while he pointed his wand at the lock on Umbridge's door. With a soft click, the door swung open. The twins grinned at each other.
"Welcome to pinky world!" said George, slamming his tub of paint on Umbridge's desk.
"God that was heavy" said Fred.
"Yeah, we should have put a weightless spell on them." Said George.
"Definitely. Shall we get down to business? I think I'm going to be sick soon if we don't do something about all this pink." Said Fred
"Yeah. And we'd better hurry up. We only have about 20 minutes until the lesson finishes and I don't think Filch will chase Peeves around the school forever!" replied Fred.
"Right you are! Why don't we start with the walls?" suggested George.
"Brilliant! I really think this old room needs a change of decoration." said Fred with a mischievous grin.
First, they wrote: "This is the high hypocrite of Hogwarts' office. Anyone aspiring to become a liar, a manipulative old hag or a greedy overgrown toad is welcome!" on the door and then they painted moustaches on the cats in the pictures. Next they made funny drawings of Umbridge on the walls, and finally, they wrote more insulting sentences on the walls, on the carpet and on the ceiling.
"Much better." said George.
"Yeah, we could really give her a few tips on decoration" said Fred
George snorted. Just then, they heard the footsteps of everyone exiting their classrooms for break.
"Time to disappear" said Fred
They grabbed the empty paint cans and walked out of the office. George, relocked the door and they hurried down the corridor and out of sight, looking very pleased with themselves.
"That was so much fun! Can't wait till she sees it" said George.
"Neither can I." said Fred. "Why don't we wait till we see her reaction" he suggested.
"We can't. She'll suspect us immediately if we hang around" replied George.
"Not if we hide in this broom cupboard she won't, and we'll still have a perfect view of the show" explained Fred with a devilish grin.
George laughed and they both crammed themselves into the broom cupboard before anyone could see them. They made themselves comfortable, well as comfortable as you can get in a broom cupboard, and they waited for Umbridge to arrive.
