"C'mon, Ron, what did--"

"ENOUGH," came the cold, hard voice of Severus Snape, and Harry's stomach did a flip. "You two. Come with me." He shoved past the boys and up the spiral stairs; Harry and Ron followed suit.

Snape said nothing as they took a particularly long sequence of confusing twists and turns through the castle. Harry was amazed that even after his years at Hogwarts, there were still massive areas of the castle they he'd never even seen. He shot a furtive look at Ron, who was visibly sweating. There were limits to how much a teacher could discipline a student, but Snape had always held a particular hatred for Harry Potter and his friends ....

Snape stopped in front of a cold, wooden door. "Inside," he snapped, and the boys scurried through the entrance. Snape followed, closed the door, and all light was extinguished.

"Editionus," muttered Snape, and immediately, little beams of light began tracing paths through the darkness. Harry gaped as a sequence of consoles and numbers presented themselves before him, wondering what torturous punishment Snape could possibly enact with such information. Illuminated slightly by the writing, Harry saw Snape's lips curl into an ugly smile.

"You two seem to think your status exempts you from proper behavior at Hogwarts school," drawled Snape, prompting Ron to roll his eyes languidly. Snape didn't see it. "Look closely, Potter, Weasley. What do you see?"

Harry glared at the numbers, confused. "They're ... they're last week's sales numbers, aren't they?"

"No," Snape answered coolly. "They're this week's sales numbers. They're almost completely identical to last week's, though."

Harry looked at Ron, confused. "And the punishment is ...?"

Snape glared at Harry. "I don't really have a punishment, I just thought that was strange. You may both leave now."

Bewildered but not in any mood to argue, he and Ron felt around for the knob and threw open the door, nearly dashing away from the former Death Eater. They were halfway down the hallway when Harry stopped, a strange expression on his face.

"What is it?" Ron asked.

"I ... I didn't have time to leave a pro-Nintendo comment in there! I'm gonna lose my street cred! DAMN YOU, SNAPE!"
