 Personally I can imagine Fred and George plotting ... how to get 
the most out of their Hogwarts education with the least amount of 
effort. I would imagine they both got OWLs in DADA but I wonder if 
they didn't each take OWLS in something else.... one went for 
potions, one for transfigurations, one for charms, and one for 
something else - maybe Care of Magical Creatures. I also think that 
either both of them (if the above theory is wrong) or the one who 
OWLed in potions, went on to do NEWTs Potions as well. I also 
suspect that as with many identical twins they have some level of 
psychic connection - such as telepathy - so what one twin learns the 
other knows also.  

Deb (aka djklaugh) who thinks that F & G are incredibly creative and 
wonders if St Mungos and the healers know about the cream they gave 
Hermione to get rid of her magical black eye.. and wonders what that 
stuff would do for Bill's werewolf bites.
