C'mon, don't reflexively say "No what ifs." Tell me what you would 
have the Trio do.

Whose rules are we talking about? We are talking about Fudge's rules. 
And again, the alternative you suggest is for the Trio to form a 
student lobbying committee and try to hold placards outside the 
Ministry of Magic. Simply unrealistic, especially given Fudge's view 
of Muggle-Borns like Hermione.

Considering how much influence Lucius Malfoy seems to have over 
Fudge, I would question any rule that comes from Fudge's office from 
now on and I would feel no compunction about breaking that rule.
