The only thing left is a place where they could practice and not get caught
The Golden trio and some friends were walking through the bridge after the meeting at Hogshead, discussing where to meet to practice
"Right. First we need to find a place to practice... where Umbridge won't find out." Harry said
"The Shrieking Shack." suggested Ginny
"It's too small." Harry said
"Forbidden Forest?" suggested Hermione
"Not bloody likely" Ron said
"Harry, what happens if Umbridge does find out?" asked Ginny
"Who cares?" Hermione said, earning surprised looks from the others "I mean, it's sort of exciting, isn't it, breaking the rules?" she said excitedly
"Who are you and what have you done with Hermione?" joked Ron
"Anyway, at least we know one positive thing that came from today." Hermione said, smirking
"What's that?" Harry asked
"Cho couldn't take her eyes off you, could she?" Hermione smirked and sped up, leaving the boy blushing.
As they entered back inside, Harry told some of his friends to look for possible places so they could practice.

Neville walked through the halls, his face facing slightly down. His thoughts filled with on possible places they could do the DA meetings, his ears listening to Umbridge's voice saying new rules on some speakers she placed throughout the halls. Distracted Neville suddenly got pushed by some Slytherins.
"Watch where you're going, Longbottom" One laughed. Neville stayed quiet, deciding to ignore them but stopped his tracks when another voice spoke
"Don't know if you have short term memory loss, but you bumped him." Paola defended.
Both boys stopped and turned around "You better watch your mouth, Rogers." One threatened, she chuckled
"Oh, yeah? What are you gonna do?" She said, crossing her arms with a slight smirk on her face "Call for daddy?" She fake pouted and mocked "I'm so scared"
"Oh, you'll see." He started to pull out his wand, but Paola was quicker. She took hers and rapidly casted two spells
"Expelliarmus!" She sent both boys flying across the hallway. She knew that there were other people on the hall, but she knew they wouldn't say anything to any teacher. They'd be too scared on what she "would do" that they turned a blind eye and won't snitch on her. Neville just stood there seeing everything go down.
"W-Why did you do that? You're going to get in trouble with Umbridge!" He told the girl
She chuckled "Not if she doesn't catch me" She started to run the other direction where the Slytherin boys were but stopped and turned "Well? Come on!" she said to Neville, gesturing to follow her, tilting her head forward. If he were honest, he did not want to go with her, but he was too scared of her to say no, so he did.
They ran through a few halls and stopped in front of a wall to catch their breath. They were quiet until Paola started laughing, making Neville start to laugh as well. Seeing her laughing made him realize that maybe she isn't that scary. Maybe it was wrong for him to judge before knowing her.
"Oh, shit, sorry I forgot to ask. You okay?" she said, panting a little from laughing
"Yeah, I'm okay, just thinking"
