Umbridge placed great importance on the intelligence she had "pried" from Harry and Ron. She reported the "good news" at once and received high praise from Fudge.
However, nipping the danger in the bud was quite difficult.
Fudge could not send the Ministry of Magic's elite Aurors into the Forbidden Forest to wipe out the Acromantulas. Even if he dared issue such an order, the Aurors would never accept it.

Therefore, catching Fred and George and prying the method of entering the Order of the Phoenix's Secret Base out of them was currently the best solution. It was more reliable than destroying the Acromantula nest.
As a result, Umbridge received Fudge's authorization to handle the matter as she saw fit.

"I'll handle it properly." Umbridge returned to Hogwarts in high spirits.
But that good mood did not last long, because the plan to capture Fred and George did not go as smoothly as expected. They did not even catch sight of the Twins,
