Part of the idea for this story was given to me by Reece123:
Chapter one
'How dare you! The figure shouted as she ran. 'how dare you!'
'It's McGonagall!' Whispered Hermione.
'Leave him alone! Alone, I say!' Said professor McGonagall's voice through the darkness. 'On what grounds are you attacking him? He has done nothing, nothing to warrant such –'
Hermione, Parvati and Lavender all screamed. The figures around the cabin had shot now fewer than four stunners at Professor McGonagall. Halfway between cabin and castle the red beams collided with her; for a moment she looked luminous and glowed an eerie red, then she lifted right off her feet, landed hard on her back, and moved no more.
Passage from Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix, owned by JK Rowling:
Harry Potter couldn't get the vision of his head of house being stunned out of his mind, then seeing her collapsed onto the ground. He knew she was a strong woman and powerful, but four stunners at someone who was not young made Harry worried that she may not survive. Even though he had been at Hogwarts for five years, he still got surprised, amazed and even disgusted at what magic could do. He hoped this was one of those times where McGonagall being a witch means she would survive and be ok.
Harry got Hermione and Ron's attention, 'I'm sneaking out when everyone's asleep. There's only one more test left for me, which is in a few days and I'm not worried about that. No, listen Hermione, I think McGonagall is more important, don't you?'
'Well, yes, of course, but you know Umbridge will expel you if you don't turn up.'
'No, she can't, as long as you do minimum amount of three test for owls than you can leave, Harry did more than that,' Ron said. 'and I think he should leave. We know Umbridge is going to try something since she couldn't get him expelled for the DA, or when he protected himself against the dementors. Look what she just did to Hagrid and now McGonagall. She made Dumbledore leave and now he's in hiding so they don't arrest him. Harry has no family in the wizarding world, which means no one can stop her if she tried something. They could take him straight to Azkaban then keep making excuses to delay getting him out. With how Harry reacts to dementors, he wouldn't survive with his mind intact. Fred and George already spoke to me about sneaking Harry out right after our tests. Now would be a good time since no one would be expecting you to skive off the last of your tests in his owls. It's all the tests like ancient runes and arithmancy next, before our history of magic test so it gives Harry the perfect time to sneak away.'
Harry gave Ron a smile, 'It is the perfect time, but also, I need to know how McGonagall is.'
'Everyone will know if you turn up at St Mungo's Harry. I mean, you're the-boy-who-lived.'
'I know, which is why I plan to make a few changes before I enter the place. I'm going to create some fake papers, in the name Evan black. My hair will be another colour, like yours Hermione. I will cover my scar and I'll see about coloured contact lenses. No one will recognise me when I'm not wearing glasses but also, I'll have brown eyes and light brown hair, not to mention, no scar.'
'Alright, that might work. Are you sure about the name?'
'Yes, that way if any of the order turn up, it may make them curious but not alarmed. Both of you will be questioned, tell them you don't know where I am or when I left. You don't really, because I could leave at any time and you can't talk about a place under the fidelius charm.'
'She'll still believe we know but it's not like she can force us,' Ron said, 'Remember though, if you need help, Fred and George can do magic, they'll help.'
'I might head straight there actually. They can help while I'm changing my looks. Okay, so we'll just do what we have been, studying for the last of our tests that way no one will get suspicious.'
That night, Harry watched the map, when he saw that every student in Gryffindor was finally in their beds, he began to pack his bag with everything he wanted to keep with him. Ron had offered to take Harry's books and things and put them in his trunk in case Umbridge decided to keep Harry's trunk. Harry had things he wanted to keep with him so he wasn't really worried if Umbridge did take his trunk. But he was grateful to Ron for hiding his stuff in his trunk. Hermione had taught Harry the undetectable expansion charm, along with the feather light charm. His Firebolt slipped straight into his bag. He only had his broom back thanks to Dobby, who stole it from Umbridge and hid it in the chamber of secrets. When Umbridge searched Gryffindor tower, she was furious when she couldn't find it. When the Gryffindor's were questioned, everyone, including Harry, they could honestly say they had no idea where the broom was. Harry wasn't told until late the following day. He had been worried that he had lost his broom forever. But thanks to a great little house elf, Harry got his Firebolt back. Now he was going to use it to sneak away from Hogwarts.
Harry kept his cloak on him, ready to use so he could sneak out of the castle. He just had to wait until Umbridge and the other names he didn't recognise stopped roaming the castle. He knew it could take a while, so he sat on his bed, reading a book, to keep himself awake.
It took until three in the morning before Harry was able to sneak through the tunnel behind the one eye witch. As soon as he got out of Honeydukes, he hurried away from Hogsmeade. As soon as he thought he was far enough away from the town, he pulled his broom from his bag, made sure his invisibility cloak was still covering him, then he lifted off. He went high but not too high, just in case there were people around. He knew death eaters sometimes kept watch on places while riding brooms. He didn't think there would be, but he had to be careful. Once he had flown for about half an hour, he put the cloak away then lent forward on his Firebolt, speeding away, not just from Hogwarts, but from Scotland. He needed to go to London.
It was a long flight, Harry was exhausted, but he had made it. He was able to sneak into Diagon alley without anyone seeing him. Now he just had to get Fred and George's attention at their shop. The shop wasn't open to the public, yet, but they had let Ron know they now lived in the flat above the shop. Apart from stocking shelves ready to open the shop, they spent a lot of time in the back making their products. He just had to wait until he saw one of them.
Harry stood under his cloak right at the window of WWW. As soon as he saw one of the twins, he knocked on the window, quickly showed his face before covering himself with the cloak again.
'Get in here,' Fred whispered as he opened the door.
Harry quickly hurried inside but he noticed George was pointing towards the back so he just kept going. Once he got to the back room only then did he pull off his cloak.
'What are you doing here?' Fred asked.
'After you left, things got worse. Umbridge had aurors, they were trying to arrest Hagrid, McGonagall went to help him and four of them hit her with stunners. She was taken to St Mungo's. I need to make sure she's alright, but I also had to get away from the bitch before she tried to arrest me. I don't know if she's working for Voldemort or not, but I can't take the chance. She might be just a bitch and work on some fake charges and throw me in Azkaban. Sirius survived because of his animagus form, I wouldn't last a day in that place. I've done most of my owls so I can legally leave Hogwarts. First, I'm going to use some muggle means to alter my looks. I need your help making some fake papers for me in the name Evan Black, seventeen.'
'We can do that, but why not go straight to headquarters?'
'Because the old man will be there, then he will either force me to return to Hogwarts or the Dursley's. I'm not doing either. I'm done with those muggles. After the dementors and the trail, I'm not going to be stuck there again with no help. We've all said it, none of that would have happened if I had been allowed to head straight to Sirius instead of the Dursley's. I might go stay with Sirius after the holidays begin, but not until I see if McGonagall is alright.'
'Why are you so worried about her?' George asked.
'Using the invisibility cloak, I saw her a lot, trying to stop Snape from harassing me, she also had a go at Dumbledore about how I'm treated by the muggles. She's never been able to do much, but she has tried. I even asked her why she didn't stop things like the badge's Malfoy made, she was told to do nothing. She did use any excuse to give Malfoy more detentions and take a lot of points from Slytherin but couldn't do more than that. I owe her for at least trying to help.'
'Fair enough, so what are these muggle disguises?' Fred asked.
'Dying my hair for one and not using magic. Someone could easily cancel the spell. Using muggle dye means it won't change, it has to grow out. I'm going to get muggle contact lenses. That's going to take the longest. I have to make an appointment, I'm just hoping I can get in quickly. Oh, I need another set of papers, for the muggle world and I have to be eighteen.'
'Look, we'll help and keep your whereabouts quiet, but right now you look dead on your feet. Go up stairs and sleep for a while. We can make two sets of fake papers while you sleep then you can do the rest later today. We'll even put a confundus charm on the muggle one so you can get these lens things quickly.'
'Yeah, I am exhausted. Thanks boys.'
Fred and George watched as Harry walked slowly up the stairs to their flat. They knew what Harry said was true, Umbitch, Fudge or anyone else might work on a way to take Harry and put him in Azkaban. If they are working for Voldemort, they could slip Harry a portkey. Harry would end up dead if that happened. They were not going to allow that to happen. They stared at each other and knew it was time to prank Umbitch and probably others.
Fred and George had just finished making Harry's fake identity papers when Hedwig arrived, but Harry's owl had a letter for them, not Harry. Ron had received a visit from Dobby early that morning. The elf had overheard Umbridge talking about having the aurors arrest Harry, who would be instantly taken to Azkaban. They hoped he would die before they were pressured into giving him a trial.
Even though Fred and George heard Harry say he was worried that Umbridge might arrest him and they thought there was a chance she or Fudge could do something. They hadn't been sure she would go that far. Now, they found out she would and wanted Harry dead. It was definitely time to use some of their more serious and dangerous pranks on Dolores Umbridge. They already worked out how to make sure she ate the chocolates they planned to send her. Make her believe they were from Fudge for doing such a good job. But these were new pranks and not really pranks. It was part of their more serious merchandise that they planned in the hope it would help against death eaters. Dolores Umbridge was going to be turned into a pygmy puff and no spell or potion could change her back. They did have an anti-dote but no one would know unless an innocent person accidentally got some of the chocolate. The twins planned to do the same with Fudge and Skeeter. They wanted Umbridge out of the way first now they knew she wanted to kill their friend. They originally invented them in the hope they could get the death eaters, like Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. They would still target them, but for now, they had a toad to get rid of.
