The Food Fight
It was a Saturday morning in Hogwarts and the Weasley twins were giving each other conspiratorial glances at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall as the din around them rose with each new student coming into the room for breakfast. Suddenly, and moving simultaneously, they hopped onto the bench they were previously sitting on, each holding a danish in either hand.
"Food fight!" Yelled George as loud as he could, so even the Slytherins sitting at the other side of the hall could hear him over the chatter.
Just as George finished the proclamation, he and Fred threw their danishes at random people around them. Then it was chaos. There were eggs, toast, sausage, and muffins soaring through the room. At first, the Slytherins and Gryffindors were using magic to hit each other with enchanted baked goods, but soon decided it was so much more satisfying when they threw it by hand. The Ravenclaws soon enlisted the help of miniature catapults that appeared to come out of thin air, and they probably did considering the likelihood that at least one of them is extremely talented at transfiguration. The Hufflepuffs decided to take the most of this opportunity and hit anyone and everyone in order to keep the food fight alive.
Then Professor McGonagall was nailed in the face with a double chocolate chip muffin as she walked into the Great Hall. Everyone froze and turned to look in the direction the muffin came from, only to see Professor Dumbledore standing there with a small smile on his face and suspiciously chocolate-covered fingers. With everyone focused on Dumbledore, they failed to notice McGonagall picking up a cream cheese danish on a nearby table. Everyone gasped in shock when the danish landed on Dumbledore's pristine robes. Soon after, the rest of the professors joined in, except for Umbridge since she hadn't come down to breakfast yet. Again, the hall erupted into chaos, which was only made worse with the majority of Hogwarts' teachers joining in.
Then Umbridge entered, and again everyone froze, but this time it was much shorter, only long enough to confirm everyone was thinking the same thing. Then all the food was directed towards her as she shrieked in horror, not thinking to even try and move in her shock.
Somewhere among the din, Professor Flitwick could be heard by a few students shouting "Throw me!" So they did.
It took only a few seconds before he was flying towards Umbridge, armed with two jelly filled donuts. After he hit Umbridge and knocked her over, Flitwick shouted triumphantly, and stood with one foot on the stomach of, the now horizontal, Umbridge.
