CHAPTER 5: McGonagall's Explanation.

Ron's POV

Hi there, it's me Ron. So, you're probably wondering what McGonagall said to me and Draco... I mean Malfoy. Well I think it went something like this:

"You don't. I came here to tell you two the rest of what will happen for your behaviour these last few weeks. I want no interruptions so I will answer all questions at the end of my explanation"

Damn I was hoping she wouldn't say that. I sat back down as she started to explain.

"You and Mr. Malfoy are to live in this hut for the duration of the year. You will eat here, sleep here and you will shower here."

I took another look around. I hadn't seen a bathroom anywhere when I came in. Then I spotted it; there was what looked like a closet door. That must be the door to the bathroom. Malfoy seemed to have noticed it too, because he was grumbling unhappily. McGonagall went on.

"If you get into fights it is your choice, but…"

She took a pause there to make things seem more dramatic.

"If you break anything that you do not own, then you will pay for it out of your own pockets."

Malfoy muttered something that sounded like:

"Weasley doesn't own anything worth breaking."

I ignored this and it seemed as if McGonagall didn't hear, besides she was speaking again.

"You will both be escorted to and from class. There will be no hanging back to talk to friends."

And then the worst part came.

"Neither one of you will be allowed visitors unless you get my permission. Which you needn't bother asking for because I won't give it. In class you will sit alone and if you have an assignment that needs a partner you will pair with each other. If you are not in a class together you will be given a partner. Lastly all Hogsmeade weekend visits will be terminated for the rest of the year. Now are there any questions?"

I think Malfoy and I were to shocked to ask anything, for neither of us spoke. So she went on.

"Any breaking of these rules will be punishable by a repeat performance of this next term. Do I make myself clear?"

McGonagall never sounded more serious. We both nodded, still unable to speak. I noticed that Malfoy had slumped back down in his seat and he was looking a little paler then usual. I was feeling a bit sick myself. This would mean I would practically never see Harry or Hermione this whole year. McGonagall looked at us both.

"Well, then I think that's all; have a good day. Oh, and you'll find food in the cupboards and towels in there as well."

She was about to leave when Malfoy seemed to have found his voice.

"Professor, what about quidditch?"

Hey, Malfoy actually has an intelligent question. What about quidditch? I wonder. Well I was about to find out.

"Quidditch will continue as normal, Malfoy. You will continue playing seeker and Weasley you will continue playing keeper. You will be escorted to and from matches but apart from that the games will continue as they used to. Now, if you have now further questions I'm late for breakfast."

And with that she turned on her heel and left.

So that was it, we were stuck here.
