I can't really imagine either of the Weasley twins really caring too 
much about bending the "Use of Improper Magic" rule-- remember their 
impromptu sprouting of facial hair after trying to cross the Age 
Line?  ^_^  Expulsion wouldn't be imminent, because it would be 
difficult to find this out in the Weasley household, as Jay said.
