But Harry was pretty sure that Madame McGonagall wouldn't be so helpful this time, and although Hermione had said that study groups were allowed, he had a gut feeling that the group might be considered a big rebellion.

Van Lin, on the other hand, pondered between the Screaming Shack and the Responsive House, and there was no doubt that Umbridge's control over Hogwarts was skyrocketing, and such a block from being exposed to her would be characterized as Dumbledore's army.

It's not so much that Dumbledore isn't ready to completely turn the other cheek with the Ministry of Magic, but that they simply don't have the ability to force Voldemort to show up now, and Verlin hasn't received any new news from Trevey for a long time, and the old bat's plans seem to be in vain.

"Well, then, we'll try to find a place," Hermione replied. "When we set a time and place for the first meeting, we'll send everyone a notice. She pulled out a piece of vellum and a quill from her bag, and hesitated for a moment, as if she were going to pluck up the courage to speak. "I- I think everybody should put their names here so we know who's coming. I thought," she took a deep breath, "that each of us should make a commitment not to spread the word about what we're doing here." So if you sign it, it means you're not going to tell Umbridge or anyone else what we're doing. ”

"And, I have to add. Verin said, taking the parchment in Hermione's hand with one hand, and through a little magic stimulation, dense blue runes appeared on the parchment scroll.

"In fact, in order to ensure safety, this guarantee has been turned into a magic contract by me, which can ensure the safety of the person who agrees enough, even if it is a truth elixir, the magic on the contract can temporarily seal your memory, a very complete brain occlusion. Fan Lin glanced around and said lightly, "Of course, there is naturally nothing to say about the betrayal, this is not a war, so naturally no cruel means are used, however, if someone breaks the rules, then it will be necessary to become crazy for a few days, and then be clearly memorized, and I promise, this effect will definitely be activated when you say the first word, and the magic will reflect your truest thoughts, so, until now, it is up to you to decide whether to sign or not." ”

Everyone's faces changed, magic contracts or something, they really haven't experienced it.

"Of course, this is the norm in business. Fred said, taking the parchment and signing happily.

This seems like a good start.

Although no one came forward to object, Van Lin noticed that some people were reluctant to write down their names.

But it didn't matter to Van Lin, as long as the name was written, the magic would tell them what choice to make.

"Well......" Justin said slowly, not taking the parchment that George wanted to hand him, "Well...... I think Ernie will tell me when the meeting will be. But Ernie also looked hesitant to sign it. Hermione looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"I-well, we're prefects," Ernie blurted out, "if this parchment is leaked...... Well, I mean...... Tell me if Umbridge finds out about this ......"

"You just said this group is the most important thing you're going to do this year," Harry reminded him.

"I ...... Yes," said Ernie, "yes, I do, just ......"

"Ernie, do you really think I'm going to let this list get around?" Hermione said exasperatedly.

"No, no, of course not," Ernie said, looking less anxious. "I ...... Yes, of course I will. Ernie no one objected after that, although Harry saw Qiu's friend look at him very reproachfully before signing, but Harry could still tell the difference, most of his eyes still fell on Van Lin, and had to admit that this was also a threat, whether it was the contract between the waves of the hand or the strength of Van Lin's repeated battles, there was no reason for those present to refuse.

Except for a few acquaintances, Luna is the fastest.

Luna didn't pause at all, and stood directly in front of Fan Lin, "Can you really see Yeqi?"

"Being able to feel it. Van Lin touched his nose, for Luna's inquiry, Van Lin really couldn't lie.

"Oh well, you should teach her how to observe......"

"Who?"

Luna pointed at Hermione, ignoring Hermione's stunned eyes and Van Lin's wry smile, and turned back to the group.

"What's going on, you know her well?"

......

Wait for the last person in line...... Angelina...... After signing, Hermione retrieved the parchment and carefully tucked it into her bag.

Now the group had a very strange feeling, as if they had just signed a pact and boarded a thief ship, and that there had never been a student club that needed a magical contract.

I don't care about weirdness, anyway, there is no way to change the established facts.

"Alright, no more waste," Fred said, standing up in high spirits, "I'll see you back with George and Lee and some things to buy." ”

The rest of the people also left in twos and threes.

Cho spent a lot of time tying her bag before leaving, her long curtain-like hair hanging down to the front to block her face, but her friend stood beside her, arms clasped over his chest, urging her, so Cho had no choice but to go with her. As her friend dragged her to the door, Cho turned around and waved at Harry.

"Well, I think this time went well," Hermione said happily when Hermione, Van Lin, Harry, and Ron stepped out of the pig's head and into the bright sunlight a few minutes later.

Harry and Ron clutched their butterbeer.

Belch...... The mug is a hog's head bar......

I hope Mr. Dumbledore doesn't mind......

"That guy named Henrietta is a nuisance," Ron said, glaring at Emily's vaguely discernible silhouette in the distance.

"I don't really like him either," said Hermione, "but he happened to hear him talking to Ernie and Hannah at Hufflepuff's table, and he seemed to be very eager to come, so what can I say? And it's true that the more people the better—I mean, Michael Corner and his friends wouldn't have come, if he hadn't gone out with Ginny—"

Ron was draining the last few drops of the Butterbeer, choking and squirting it.

"What is he?" Ron looked at Hermione in disbelief, "What did you just say?"
