"What? A curse?!" A few of them looked at Elwyn in surprise. They were sure he was not joking.
"There's no need to do this!"
"It's just a fun group. Why do you make it sound like you're planning a rebellion?"
"This is to prevent people from snitching. It's necessary!" Elwyn said. "If any of you don't agree, you can quit now. But once you sign your name, the magic will work."
Under Elwyn's gaze, a few of them obviously lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"I think it's quite interesting," George said.
"It sounds cool, like a secret society," Fred said with interest. "I'm sure I won't snitch."
Under the watchful eyes of the others, he took the parchment, and gladly signed his name, and then George.
But a few of them were not moved. They were obviously not happy about this.
Just signing their names was enough to make people hesitate, not to mention that Elwyn was going to use some horrible curse.
It sounded evil, and many people did not have the guts to do it …
"Yes!" Zacharias said slowly, not taking the parchment that George handed over. "Well, is it really necessary? I won't snitch, and I think Ernie will tell me when the meeting is … "
But Ernie was also hesitant about signing his name. He looked at the parchment anxiously.
"I, um, you know, I'm the Prefect!" Ernie blurted out. "If the list is discovered by others, um, I mean, you said it yourself, if Umrich finds out …"
"Come on, Elwyn is the president of the Boy Student Union. He's the one who takes responsibility for everything."
"You just said that joining this group is the most important thing you have to do this year."
"I, yes, I did say that …" Ernie said. "Yes, I believe that, but …"
"Ernie, do you really think I'll throw this list around?" Hermione said angrily.
"No, no, of course not!" said Ernie hurriedly. "But I still, I..."
"I think you must be cautious. You must think carefully before signing your names." Elwyn reminded, "I don't want you to sign your names reluctantly out of embarrassment or because you were forced to do so. It will be too late to regret it later. Also, we will be more cautious when we recruit new members in the future. We will have more and more protection spells, not just this name list. If any of you have any objections, you'd better back out now. "
Elwyn's reminder worried them. In the silence, the name list was passed through the crowd one by one.
Some people put their names on the list, while others hesitated. It was as if a mysterious ceremony was taking place.
Gryffindor's men didn't hesitate to name their names.
In addition, there was also Luna. She wrote a big name in a flamboyant manner.
Finally, the list was passed back to Ernie.
"Well, I still believe in Elwyn. You know, and this is really important. It's not a bad thing to learn more magic." He said, as if he had made up his mind to sign his name on the list.
With Ernie taking the lead, no one raised any objections. Everyone quietly wrote their names.
Harry saw Autumn's girlfriend give her a reproachful look, and then he signed his name.
When the last person, Zacharias, reluctantly signed his name, Elwyn took the list.
He tapped the list with his wand, and a blood-red light flashed across the list, as if it was about to devour all the light around it. Then, the list returned to normal. However, something seemed to have changed. Everyone gasped in shock.
At this time, they looked at the parchment with awe and a little worry.
At last Hermione took the parchment back and put it carefully in her bag.
There was a strange feeling in the group. It was full of mystery, as if everyone had just signed a contract.
"Well, time flies," Fred said casually. Fred said loudly as he stood up. "We have to go. George, Lee, and I still have to buy some highly confidential things. See you later!"
The others got up in twos and threes to leave, and Cho dawdled over the fastenings of her satchel before she left. Her long, black, cascading hair fell in front of her to hide her face. She seemed to want to say a word to Elvin and Harry, but her girlfriend stood beside her, arms folded, and clucking her tongue impatiently.
Autumn had no choice but to leave with her.
"I think it's going well." After a while, Hermione, Elwyn, Harry, Ron and Corin walked out of the Pig's Head Bar. She said happily, "Next, we can start organizing activities!"
"That Zacharias guy is a pain in the ass." Ron said, glaring angrily at Zacharias's back in the distance. "Also, what's his relationship with Ginny?"
"They're probably in a relationship, or preparing to. Today is their first date. Ginny just told me that she's going to change to another one. " Hermione said, "His behavior is really annoying. Ginny has seen his true colors. If it weren't for the fact that Elwyn and I think the more the better, I would have hoped that he wouldn't participate …"
"Wait, what did you just say?" Ron was drinking the last few drops of Butterbeer in the bottle. When he heard what Hermione said, he choked and spilled the beer on his chest. "She's in a relationship? My sister is in a relationship?!"
"What's so strange about that? There are a lot of people chasing after Ginny. Why else do you think Ravenclaw and the other guys are here? They're all Michael Kona's friends. Although they're interested in learning defensive skills, they're obviously more interested in Ginny." Hermione said, "I think she'll consider Michael. He's much better than Zacharias, and he has a good reputation in school. Ginny told me that Michael has been chasing after her ever since the Christmas party. Of course, there are a lot of guys chasing after Ginny in school. She's been hesitant to agree, but she finally figured it out recently. There's no need to wait any longer … "
"Oh my god, Hermione. Do you know what you're talking about?" Ron said incredulously.
"I think you guys still don't understand the current situation. It's just like the Christmas party. A good girl won't just wait for you for nothing," Hermione said bluntly. "If you don't act soon, someone else will pick you up."
"But, but!" Ron hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind. "I thought Ginny likes Harry."
