Hagrid
One of the Weasley twins. A seventh year, Fred isn't especially interested in returning to Hogwarts to sit his N.E.W.T. exams. He only does so because Mrs. Weasley insists, and Fred and George don't want to make Mrs. Weasley even angrier after the fiasco of Percy abandoning their family. What both twins really want to do—and what they spend most of the school year doing—is to develop products for their joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Their joke products represent a firm understanding of a variety of magical disciplines and even impress Hermione, though the twins are often at odds with Hermione because she takes offense when they test their products on first years. After beating up Malfoy for insulting Mrs. Weasley, Fred and George are banned from playing Quidditch. Without that to distract them, they take it upon themselves to make Umbridge's life miserable. In addition to joining Dumbledore's Army, Fred and George let fireworks loose, set up a portable swamp in a corridor, and sell "Skiving Snackboxes" that contain sweets to give the consumer enough of an ailment to get sent to the nurse, with an antidote to take once the student has been allowed to leave class. Fred and George dramatically leave Hogwarts after setting up the swamp and announce that they've secured premises in Diagon Alley to sell their wares. There's little difference personality-wise and in terms of goals between Fred and George; they function as a team in all cases and are very close to each other.

Ron had not asked Dumbledore to give him the prefect badge. This was not Ron's fault. Was he, Harry, Ron's best friend in the world, going to sulk because he didn't have a badge, laugh with the twins behind Ron's back, ruin this for Ron when, for the first time, he had beaten Harry at something?
