A/N: Please don't criticize my writing.  I'm trying my best, but writing is not my favorite thing in the world.  Give me a break.

Chapter 2:  The Punishment

McGonagall and Snape dragged Malfoy and Ron to Dumbeldore's office.

" You two have done a terrible thing," Dumbeldore said in a raspy voice.  "You two ought to be suspended, - but since it's your seventh year, I will let this one go, on one condition…" The smiles on Ron and Malfoy's faces turned into a worried expression.  "You two will have to help rebuild the arcade you destroyed… muggle way.  Plus, you two will also have to perform in a play which will take place right before Christmas break."

"But Professor, why can't we just use magic?" Malfoy asked.

"The Arcade was built by the people of Hogsmead with their bare hands a long time ago.  They didn't use magic because they wanted their town to be a symbol of how much hard work and time they put to build them."

"What about the play?"  Ron asked this time.

"We needed more actors for the play and since you two are being punished this is a great experience to help you two solve yours and your house's problem between each other."  Dumbeldore explained to them.  " Oh by the way, you two can go to see Madam Promfrey and Ms. Granger next week for your parts, right after you finished helping out building the arcade."

"Hermoine?" Ron asked.

"She's the main character and the writer of the play.  Didn't she tell you?"

"No."

"I don't think your parents should be informed about his incident.  You may go back to your common rooms." 

When Ron and Malfoy opened the door on their way out, they saw McGonagall and Snape makin out.  Their hands were on places where it's not supposed to be.

"Excuse me Professor…" Ron interrupted.  The professor's didn't stop and ignored him.  Ron and Malfoy walked back to their common rooms with disgusted looks on their faces.
