I have to question this. Is there any evidence in the books that the
twins don't read? Not reading their set lessons at the set time is not
quite the same thing. As a kid, I wiped out on quite a number of tests
because I was too busy with other things, including reading. I suspect
the twins would be more interested in forbidden books than in textbooks.
