Part Three - Fred

We walk quickly towards the Great Hall, Neville leading the way. Funny how much he's changed the past seven years.
"Alright you lot. We'll just wait here. Nobody move, and in a bit I'll open the doors and let Snape see that the Order's here," Neville says, turning from facing us to pointing his wand at the door.
We can hear Snape talking - that foul evil git. He goes quiet for a moment, and we hear gasps echo throughout the hall, and though none of us can see what's happening, I think we all have an idea of what's going on.
"It seems that despite your exhaustive defensive strategies, you still have a bit of a security problem, Headmaster," we hear Harry say. Neville turns to us, Remus nods, and the doors fly open. Based on their looks, we made a pretty good entrance. I turn to look at George, and he smirks at me. We obviously know how to make a scene here at Hogwarts.
Harry, the little git, talks a bit longer, and soon enough, Snape, being the coward he is, apparates out of the hall.
Chaos erupts throughout the hall.
I see Harry talking to Professor McGonagall. She nods, and Harry takes off, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and Luna Lovegood on his heels.

I grab George's arm and rush through the crowd to Remus, my twin right behind me.
"George! Fred!" He calls. "Your parents and I are headed out with the professors to add extra security charms... It'll at least delay the Death Eaters."
"Great," George says. "Where do you need us?"
"Take the balcony up on the left wing. Just wait for the signal - which is... The defenses being broken. Don't be kind. Do whatever you have to do."
George and I both nod, and as quick as this all began, Remus is gone.
"C'mon, Freddie," George starts moving back towards the doors.

After shoving our way up three moving flights of stairs, we reach the balcony Remus mentioned.
"And now, we wait," I say.
"And now we wait," George repeats.
