IF THERE WAS one thing that never failed to cheer Penelope up, it was a nice cup of hot chocolate by a fire.
Things were going smoothly. The meeting about the new secret Defense Against the Dark Arts meeting had gone well, and Penelope was in high spirits, but then it all came crashing down with the revelation of Umbridge's new decree. Get this — yesterday, which was also the day after they had that meeting, she suddenly came out with a statement that all groups at Hogwarts were disbanded except if Umbridge gave them permission, including Quidditch teams.
Umbridge said the Slytherin Quidditch team was good to go right away, but Penelope was still extremely suspicious. She means, literally the morning after, Umbridge pulls this out? Penelope doesn't know. It was just very strange.
Of course they weren't going to ask Umbridge for permission — that was literally the whole point — but Penelope didn't want this group to be disbanded. This was her one chance, her one fucking chance to learn to defend herself if Bellatrix ever decided to show up, which she probably would. Penelope had to be ready. If there was one person to teach her anything useful about Defense magic — besides Remus Lupin — it was Harry Potter.
