I transfigure the only desk in the room into a high table and gesture everyone to stand around it.
"If you're all here then I've contacted you or you somehow made your way in." I glance at Justin and ignore his look of guilt.
"I'm warning you all right now. This isn't a club meeting or even a get together among non-magically raised." I prop open my briefcase on the table and place down the first of the secrecy contracts. They look like blank pages but everyone knew how deceptive those could be.
The tension in the room increased and I look everyone in the eye.
"No one is leaving this room until everyone swears this secrecy oath. You don't say a word about this meeting. Not about who was in it or where it happened. As far as the world is concerned this isn't happening and never has."
"This is about yesterday and today's game right?" Asks Charlie.
I don't respond. "You're in or you're out. I will not force anyone to join me but this oath is happening whether you want it or not."
Dean grabs the paper and signs. Colins goes next and signs. Lee hesitates but still signs. Katie rolls her eyes and signs.
"It's fucking Hermione Granger. I already knew not to fuck with her since her second year."
