Thank you for your correction Ginger. I must have read the paragraphs
too fast and they blended together in my head. But to the point, I
positive this is a flint. Hogwarts is a place full of tradition in my
view, and it does not seem possible that it would change it's age
restriction anytime soon. Also preforming a disillusionment seems like
highly advanced magic to do on humans (probably NEWT level). And I do
not think the brothers would be up to this task nor do I think they
would con a 7th year into helping them break the rules. The Fred and
George idea holds some wieght due to their love of breaking the rules,
but how well do they know the brothers? Would they be willing to break
the rules for a seond year who sometimes gives Harry trouble with his
idol worship? I don't think they would. 

John who thinks a flint is no big deal, but changing the rules would
change the Hogwarts we know and love.
