[[!meta title="Punishment"]]

Harry *knew* it had been a bad idea.

Madam Hooch had *told* them that if anyone flew on their broom while she was
away they'd be expelled. But Draco had gone off with Neville's remembrall and,
like an idiot, Harry had chased after him.

And of *course* he'd gotten caught. Now Professor McGonagall was dragging him
off to who-knows-where and by this time tomorrow he'd be back at the Dursley's.
