The appearance of Educational Decree Number Twenty-four

PAGES: 351-352

Harry and Ron head to the Gryffindor common room on Monday morning, where they notice a new sign posted by the High Inquisitor, Dolores Umbridge. The decree disbands all student organizations, teams, clubs, and societies unless given permission by Umbridge. Both Harry and Ron realize the decree is likely targeted at their new Defense Against the Dark Arts group, and Harry becomes furious, realizing their secret might have been exposed.
