Answer 2

After Harry, Ron, and Hermione had destroyed the diadem, they ran into Fred and Percy in the halls. They were fighting Death Eaters. Percy was newly reconciled with the family and was cracking jokes along with Fred. Fred was laughing and commenting that he hadn't heard Percy laugh or joke in ages. There was an explosion and the side of the castle was blown away. Hermione and Harry were lifted and blasted into one direction. When they recovered they heard screaming. Ron, Fred, and Percy were against another wall. Percy had realized the explosion had killed Fred. He stayed trying to protect his dead brother and had to be pulled away to continue fighting. It was never stated who caused the explosion
