I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_hermione]

Mr Longbottom's coming to the Shrieking Shack on Saturday so that we can practise Apparating during the Hogsmeade weekend. I guess the tricky part is going to be going down the tunnel without anyone noticing but maybe if we wait until almost everyone's gone who's going (and I think even some of the NEWT-level students might go, since it's the first weekend in the village without Madam Umbridge searching everyone's sacks when they come back), we should be able to get into the Whomping Willow without too much trouble.

But the other thing is that Mrs Longbottom wanted me to tell everyone that if you're interested in being sworn in to the Order, well, she'd be willing to come and do that, too. And if you want, she'll come and answer questions before you make a decision.

I'm telling her to come because I'm pretty sure that at least a few of you want to be sworn in right away. But I wanted to let you all know, too, so you can think about it ahead of time, or any other questions you might want to ask her when she's there.

Even Dr Everyone?

And we have to decide by Saturday?

Everyone. And I don't think there's a time limit, if you want to wait and think about it. It's just that Mrs Longbottom will be there on Saturday to take your oaths. If you want to swear at that point.

I do hope you will join.

All of you.
