The narration in chapters 88 and 89 have left quite a bit of room for Weasley Twin shenanigans. They are referred to as "the twins" and "Fred or George" up until one gets beat up by the troll. Additionally, the twins gave a respectful nod to McGonagall's demand that they stay in the Great Hall; they could have stayed there the entire time. Harry might have been accompanied by, say, Future Fred and Further Future Fred during his broom flight. I am not sure what the use of this would be, but it might involve them being a hive mind.
They gave a respectful nod because they are smartasses.
...what? They have a respectful nod because they recognized the seriousness of the situation, that it was not a time for pranks.
They only left when the situation got more serious yet, and they pseudo-remembered that they could help.
