"Right. First we need to find a place to practice, where Umbridge won't find out." Harry said, leading just a handful of the new DA members along the bridge.
"The Shrieking Shack?" Ginny suggested.
"It's too small."
"The Forbidden Forest?"
"Not bloody likely." Ron dismissed with a chuckle.
"Harry, what happens if Umbridge does find out?" Nadia enquired, gesturing to her bandaged hand.
Before Harry could answer, Hermione cut in. "Who cares?" Everyone looked at her strangely.
"I mean, it's sort of exciting isn't it? Breaking the rules." She asked, a huge grin on her face.
"Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?" They all shared a laugh at Ron's comment as they plodded through the courtyard.
"Over the next few days, we should each come up with a couple of possibilities of places we can practice." Harry instructed whilst they entered the castle.
Little did they know, a certain pink Professor was watching their every move.

"All student organisations are henceforth disbanded. Any student in noncompliance will be expelled."
Another rule was nailed into the wall, Umbridge's sickly voice roaming through the school.
Neville was strolling through the corridor, pondering possibilities of a place to practice when Crabbe and Goyle purposely crashed into him. "Watch where you're going, Longbottom!" They snickered.
Nadia witnessed the encounter and approached the unlucky boy. "Hey, Neville. Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah. I'm fine." He gave a shy smile then turned but something caught his attention.
The wall in front of them had began to make sounds as a tall, wooden door with intricate iron details materialised right before their eyes.
Their mouths hung open as Neville cautiously pushed the door open and peered inside.
Nadia copied his actions and her mouth opened even wider at the room which appeared from nowhere.
Mirrors clung to each and every wall. Death Eater dummies were dotted around, targets painted on their chests. Huge diamond chandeliers draped from the tall, stone ceilings and grand fireplaces stood proudly on each wall.
"I've read about this place. It's the Room of Requirement." Nadia informed, her mouth still agape.
"This is it." Neville whispered in awe. "Let's get the others."
Nadia nodded, grabbed his wrist and sprinted down the corridor in search of the trio.
She stumbled upon them immediately, their brows furrowed at the pairs excited but breathless states.
"Neville found it." She grinned. "And it's utterly perfect."
The trio's faces lit up as they followed the pair back to the stone wall.
Upon arrival, their faces dropped. "Uh, guys?" Ron questioned confusedly. "You do know that this is just a wall right. Unless it's like the one at--"
