Harry and Paige were sitting together in the hallway. Their hands were almost touching.

It was chaos in Hogwarts. After Dumbledore left and Umbridge sort of took over everything. The students or well Fred and George started to rebel a lot and on top of that the teachers didn't do anything about it.

Now Harry and Paige were waiting for the big finale. Fred and George told them to wait here precisely in this very spot.

They heard noise coming from the hallway next to them. Harry and Paige stood up and looked. Students were standing all around the walls in a circle (some of them, Harry noticed, covered in a substance that looked very like Stinksap); teachers and ghosts were also in the crowd.

Peeves, who was bobbing overhead, gazed down upon Fred and George, who stood in the middle of the floor with the unmistakable look of two people who had just been cornered.

'So!' said Umbridge triumphantly, whom Harry realized was standing just a few stairs in front of him, once more looking down upon her prey. 'So . . . you think it's amusing to turn a school corridor into a swamp, do you?'

'Pretty amusing, yeah,' said Fred, looking back up at her without the slightest sign of fear. Filch elbowed his way closer to Umbridge, almost crying with happiness.

'I've got the form, Headmistress,' he said hoarsely, waving the piece of parchment Harry had just seen him take from her desk. 'I've got the form and I've got the whips waiting. . . . Oh, let me do it now. . . .'

'Very good, Argus,' she said. 'You two,' she went on, gazing down at Fred and George, 'are about to learn what happens to wrongdoers in my school.'

'You know what?' said Fred. 'I don't think we are.' He turned to his twin. 'George,' said Fred, 'I think we've outgrown full-time education.'

'Yeah, I've been feeling that way myself,' said George lightly.

'Time to test our talents in the real world, d'you reckon?' asked Fred.

'Definitely,' said George. And before Umbridge could say a word, they raised their wands and said together, 'Accio Brooms!' Harry heard a loud crash somewhere in the distance. Looking to his left he ducked just in time — Fred and George's broomsticks, one still trailing the heavy chain and iron peg with which Umbridge had fastened them to the wall, were hurtling along the corridor to- ward their owners.

They turned left, streaked down the stairs, and stopped sharply in front of the twins, the chain clattering loudly on the flagged stone floor.

'We won't be seeing you,' Fred told Professor Umbridge, swinging his leg over his broomstick.

'Yeah, don't bother to keep in touch,' said George, mounting his own. Fred looked around at the assembled students, and at the silent, watchful crowd.

'If anyone fancies buying a Portable Swamp, as demonstrated up- stairs, come to number ninety-three, Diagon Alley — Weasleys' Wiz- arding Wheezes,' he said in a loud voice.

'Our new premises!'

'Special discounts to Hogwarts students who swear they're going to use our products to get rid of this old bat,' added George, pointing at Professor Umbridge.

'STOP THEM!' shrieked Umbridge, but it was too late. As the In- quisitorial Squad closed in, Fred and George kicked off from the floor, shooting fifteen feet into the air, the iron peg swinging dangerously below. Fred looked across the hall at the poltergeist bobbing on his level above the crowd.

'Give her hell from us, Peeves.' And Peeves, whom Harry had never seen take an order from a student before, swept his belled hat from his head and sprang to a salute as Fred and George wheeled about to tumultuous applause from the students below and sped out of the open front doors into the glorious sunset.

It took days to get everything clean and fixed, all the students were still talking about what Fred and George did.

Suddenly Harry fell down, holding his hand against his scar. Paige kneeled next to him. Calling out his name but she knew he wouldn't hear.

Paige felt his panic, she saw Hermione and Ron running towards them.

'What happened?' Hermione asked in a high pitched voice.

'I don't know, he just collapsed.' Paige said, she looked at his painful looking face.

'Sirius.' Harry whimpered.

Paige, Hermione and Ron looked at each other in worry.

'Sirius!' Harry suddenly yelled sitting up.

'Harry are you alright?' Ron asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.

'Sirius is in danger! He said trying to stand up but he felt weak and Ron had to help him. 'Voldemort is torturing him in the ministry!'

Paige felt how much fear Harry felt. Her heart was in her stomach, she felt sick.

'What are you talking about?' Hermione said.

'Sirius!' Harry almost yelled. 'He is in danger!'

'How do you know?' Hermione asked.

You could see that Harry was becoming more irritated. 'I saw it.' He said, not looking at them.

'You saw it?' Ron asked, looking worried.

Paige felt hurt suddenly and looked at Harry. He started to feel really angry.

'Can we check it somehow?' She said, trying to deescalate the situation. 'Can we contact Sirius in any way?'

'Yeah, with the fireplace!' Harry said getting more life in his legs.

'But the only fireplace we can use is…' Hermione mumbled.

'Umbridge's.' Paige finished her sentence.

'We need to!' Harry said, almost begging them. 'If Sirius is in real danger, I need… to save him'

Paige, Hermione and Ron looked at each other again.

'Let's do it tonight then.' Hermione said, nodding her head. The rest nodded in agreement.

Paige felt relief fall over her.

Paige, Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville were standing in front of Umbridge office. Waiting for Harry and Hermione to be done talking to Sirius. If he was there…

Paige got a hollow feeling in her stomach. Something wasn't right…

'Well, Well!' A high annoying voice sounded.

Everyone turned around and gasped. Umbridge, Draco and a few others were standing before them.

'What are you little brats doing here,' She smirked widely.

Paige felt frozen. This wasn't good. One way or another Paige managed to say. 'Just hanging.'

Umbridge gave a hard laugh.. Paige looked at Draco. He didn't look at her. He just smirked.

'Is Harry in there, contacting Dumbledore?' Umbridge asked, walking closer towards them.

'No.' Paige spoke again, feeling proud for not lying. The others were too frozen to speak.

'Let's get in then.' Umbridge said, walking towards the door.

Paige acted fast grabbing her wand and making a loud bang, smoke filled the hallway. She prayed that Harry and Hermione would hear and understand that Umbridge was coming.

'Foolish girl!' Umbridge cried, taking a hold on Paige arm and pushing her into her office.

Apparently Harry and Hermione heard the bang, they were standing in a corner of Umbridge office. The fireplace was put out.

'Who were you talking about?!' Umbridge asked, sounding a bit mad. Draco and the rest were holding on to Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna.

'No one.' Harry said.

'Lair!' She said, pointing her wand at Harry. 'You are contacting Dumbledore aren't you!'

Harry blinked a few seconds, not expecting that.

'Don't lie to me!' She continued now pointing her wand at Paige. 'Your mother will be thrilled to see you Miss Prince.'

Paige felt really sick, her mother would kill her.

'Let her go!' Harry yelled, taking a step to them but stopped because she pushed her wand at Paige's throat.

'Don't worry Harry,' Paige mumbled, feeling pressure at her throat. 'My mom would kill me, yeah, but she would definitely kill you for killing me, professor.' Paige smirked, she knew she was right.

'Shut up! Crabbe get Professor Snape.'

He nodded and walked out of the office. A few moments later Snape appeared.

'Snape got the truth serum, I guess nobody is telling the truth willingly.'

Snape smirked, then suddenly Harry took a step towards Snape. 'Professor Padfoot is in danger. He is in the ministry of magic. Please Help!' Harry sounded desperate but Snape only smirked.

'What is he talking about?' Umbridge asked Snape.

'I have no idea.' Snape said slowly and left to get Veritaserum.

Harry almost fell to his knees.

Paige knew how much trouble they would be in if they didn't do something soon, she caught Hermoine's eye, who looked determined. She nodded at her.

Paige didn't know what she meant but then Hermione spoke. 'Fine, yes we were talking to Dumbledore.'

Everyone looked amazed. What was going on? 'We were talking about the weapon.'

'Is this true?' Umbridge asked Harry.

'Yes,' answered Paige. 'The weapon.'

'And where is it?' Umbridge asked.

'In the dark forest.' Hermione said.

'Take me there young girl, Potter you too!' Umbridge let go of Paige and Crabbe grabbed her. 'You two show me now!'

Harry looked at Paige, she nodded. Harry, Hermione and Umbridge walked out of the office leaving the rest alone.

Paige looked at Draco. 'Are you happy with yourself?' She asked calmly. Draco looked irritated turning towards her. He was holding Luna tightly.

'I just wanted to ask you the same.' He said bitterly. 'I'm not going to help you get out of this mess.'

Paige laughed. 'Like you ever did.' She said, seeing how more annoyed he got. By the words she said.

'Anyone wants some candy?' Ron asked, holding his hand in his pocket. Draco smirked, grabbing the candy and giving every one of his friends one. Giving Paige a dirty look. A few seconds passed when suddenly Draco started to look a bit green.

'You okay?' Paige couldn't help but ask. Suddenly chaos came. Draco and a few others started vomiting. Others started to have heavy nosebleeds.

Ron smirked. 'Fred and George.' He said to the rest.

'Brilliant.' Paige said as they walked out of the office and towards the forbidden forest.

When they were running over the long bridge they saw Harry and Hermione.

'What are you guys doing here? How did you get away?' Hermione asked.

'Ron,' Luna said. 'It was brilliant'

'I had some candy left from Fred and George and they couldn't refuse.' Ron said proudly.

'Brilliant.' Hermione said.

'Where is Umbridge?' Ginny asked.

'She got taken.' Harry said, smiling at Paige.

Paige raised her eyebrows. 'Taken? By who?'

'Centaurs.' Hermione finished.

Harry shook his head like he got out of a trance. 'Well thank you all for your help. I should be going!' He said turning around.

'What?' Ron said. 'You're not going alone.'

'Yes I am.' Harry said.

'No you're not.' Paige said annoyed.

'You do not have to do this all by yourself.' Neville said.

'But..' Harry tried.

'No.' Hermione said. Everyone nodded.

'Fine.' Harry gave in. 'But how are we going to get to London?'

'Flying of course.' Luna said dreamy.

Luna led them to the horses.

Ron, Hermione, Neville and Ginny looked but of course couldn't see anything.

'Brilliant.' Harry said.

'What is.' Ron asked. 'There is nothing.'

'Yes there is.' Paige said smiling. 'This is going to be interesting.'
