I found the exact reference in Chapter 17, Educational Decree Number

"How about the Shrieking Shack?" suggested Sirius.

"Hey, that's an idea!" said Ron excitedly, but Hermione made a skeptical
noise and all three of them looked at her, Sirius's head turning in the
flames.

"Well, Sirius, it's just that there were only four of you meeting in the
Shrieking Shack when you were at school," said Hermione, "and all of you
could transform into animals and I suppose you could all have squeezed under
a single Invisibility Cloak if you'd wanted to. But there are twenty-eight
of us and none of us is an Animagus, so we wouldn't need so much an
Invisibility Cloak as an Invisibility Marquee--"

Hope that helps.
