It  didn't matter. By that point her name was already on the list. 
Even if she  never went to another meeting, if the list was found, she

to meetings, perhaps  she's weak-willed or something, but that doesn't 
excuse Hermione for not  warning anyone about the hex. 
 
People tend to forget that these aren't real people.  Hermione,  probably 
would have warned everyone, but JKR knew that it would make for a  better story 
if the hex wasn't revealed until someone activated it.
 
The resultant effect was much greater on the reader, not knowing what would  
happen.
