In retrospect it looks reckless, but at the time they were just putting 
together a club.  Sure, it was in defiance of Umbridge, but she hadn't 
yet really established her reign of terror at this point.  They talked 
about their plan where Zacharias could overhear them, and were only 
mildly annoyed about it.  Asking a teacher if they were allowed to go 
to the Hogs Head on their day out would not have seemed to be that big 
a deal, because at that point they had really not grasped how far this 
was going and how paranoid Umbridge truly was.
