How awful. I'd take a page from Severus and simply tell them the funeral is going to be next Saturday.
Let us know if you have any difficulty getting access to food.
It seems like you've got a handle on things at the moment, and are doing what you can to help. And it is helping, even though they're confused and distraught. Stay strong, Lee. I know Fred and George will appreciate what you've done for them once they're in their right state of mind.
And if you've got a chance, tell Ron and Neville the same.
For the record, if you do hex Madame Umbridge, I can see how drawing attention away from the twins and delaying reapplication of the curse would be to their benefit. But at this point, you'd certainly risk expulsion for direct attacks on her person, if not something more serious, as she appears to be escalating.
I'm not saying don't hex her, just be sure you think through the potential consequences. If you're expelled, rest assured, she'll kick you off the grounds and reapply her hex to the twins, and you won't be able to help them.
