Slytherin's True Heir (Remember me 2)

Good Bye Weasleys

The story of Fred and George's flight to freedom was retold so often over the next few days, we could tell it would soon become the stuff of Hogwart's legend: within a week, even those who had been eyewitnesses were half-convinced they had seen the twins dive-bomb Umbridge on their brooms and pelt her with Dungbombs before zooming out of the doors. In the immediate aftermath of their departure there was a great wave of talk about copying them. Fred and George had made sure nobody was likely to forget them too soon. For one thing, they had not left instructions on how to remove the swamp that now filled the corridor on the fifth floor of the east wing. Umbridge and Filch had been observed trying different means of removing it but without success.

Eventually, the area was roped off and Filch, gnashing his teeth furiously, was given the task of punting students across it to their classrooms. Of course there were professors who could easily get rid of these swamps and things but they themselves were being a bit rebellious which was really nice.Then there were the two large broom-shaped holes in Umbridge's office door, through which Fred and George's Cleansweeps had smashed to rejoin their masters. Filch fitted a new door and removed Harry's Firebolt to the dungeons where, it was rumoured, Umbridge had set an armed security troll to guard it. However, her troubles were far from over. Inspired by Fred and George's example, a great number of students were now vying for the newly vacant positions of Troublemakers-in-Chief. In spite of the new door, somebody managed to slip a hairy-snouted Niffler into Umbridge's office, which promptly tore the place apart in its search for shiny objects, leapt on Umbridge when she entered and tried to gnaw the rings off her stubby fingers. Dungbombs and Stink Pellets were dropped so frequently in the corridors that it became the new fashion for students to perform Bubble-Head Charms on themselves before leaving lessons, which ensured them a supply of fresh air, even though it gave them all the peculiar appearance of wearing upside-down goldfish bowls on their heads.Filch prowled the corridors with a horsewhip ready in his hands, desperate to catch miscreants, but the problem was that there were now so many of them he never knew which way to turn. The Inquisitorial Squad was attempting to help him, but odd things kept happening to its members. Warrington of the Slytherin Quidditch team reported to the hospital wing with a horrible skin complaint that made him look as though he had been coated in cornflakes; Pansy Parkinson, to Hermione's delight, missed all her lessons the following day as she had sprouted antlers.

Meanwhile, it became clear just how many Skiving Snackboxes Fred and George had managed to sell before leaving Hogwarts. Umbridge only had to enter her classroom for the students assembled there to faint, vomit, develop dangerous fevers or else spout blood from both nostrils. Shrieking with rage and frustration, she attempted to trace the mysterious symptoms to their source, but the students told her stubbornly they were suffering from 'Umbridge--itis'. After putting four successive classes in detention and failing to discover their secret, she was forced to give up and allow the bleeding, swooning, sweating and vomiting students to leave her classes in droves.

But not even the users of the Snackboxes could compete with that master of chaos, Peeves, who seemed to have taken Fred's parting words deeply to heart. Cackling madly, he soared through the school, upending tables, bursting out of blackboards, toppling statues and vases; twice he shut Mrs. Norris inside a suit of armour, from which she was rescued, yowling loudly, by the furious caretaker. Peeves smashed lanterns and snuffed out candles, juggled burning torches over the heads of screaming students, caused neatly stacked piles of parchment to topple into fires or out of windows; flooded the second floor when he pulled off all the taps in the bathrooms, dropped a bag of tarantulas in the middle of the Great Hall during breakfast and, whenever he fancied a break, spent hours at a time floating along after Umbridge and blowing loud raspberries every time she spoke.

None of the staff but Filch seemed to be stirring themselves to help her. Indeed, a week Fred and George were expelled.

"It's such a shame that you will be leaving us." I smiled softly giving the twins a hug.

"It's going to suck without you guys here." Cedric shrugged. "Come by and visit during the summer got it?"

"We'll miss you guys" They hugged us. "We'll visit when we can" smiling we watched them leave with McGonagall. Later on Harry swore that they saw Peeves unscrewing the chandelier which McGonagall whispered to peeves that he should unscrew it instead of screwing it tighter.

It was entertaining watching others try and become the new great jokesters of Hogwarts, so far no one had succeeded.

"See you on the pitch later" Cedric kissed my on the cheek getting up from the table after breakfast. Cho had hurt her arm so Roger Davis asked me to take her place in today's match.

"Don't worry." I smiled. "I'll win" I laughed waving at him before heading to the Ravenclaw locker room.

The match felt like it was taking forever every time we scored they'd score right after the game would only be decided with whom ever got the snitch. Where is it? I looked all around until I saw it, hovering low near the crowd. Maybe it's time I put on a little show. I stood on my broom and dove down towards the stand. Cedric noticed and followed as we continued to fight for the snitch. I watched it suddenly fly up so I steadied my broom and jumped. I could hear people gasp as I grabbed it doing a small flip and landing back on my broom.

"She's Done It! Alexandria Eastwood caught the snitch in such an amazing manner! Ravenclaw Wins The Match!" I smiled the next game would be against Gryffindor but Cho would be healed for that game. We all landed and exited the pitch. I stared at the snitch in my hand.

"There's something special about this snitch." Cedric smiled and it slowly opened up revealing a small silver band causing me to gasp and both teams stared at us. Cedric kneeled down and grabbed my hands. "Alexandria Eastwood. Will you marry me?" He asked tears flowing from my eyes.

"Yes!" I laughed hugging him "Yes"
