Warnings: This story will have Slash pairings and threesomes involving a minor. If this offends you, please click that lovely little button known as the 'Back Arrow'. I won't be going into detail, so don't get all worked up about it. This story is going to have hints of AU, and possibly some OOCness at some point, but I'll try to keep it at a minimum.
FLAMERS: Oooh, does this mean I get to threaten bodily harm? Please, do flame, I'm hungry and I do so love spicy foods. Be forewarned, if you don't have a point, I will hunt you down and conduct an experiment to see what you die of first after having ingested molten lead. I've always wondered if the organs would be incinerated on contact or if the lead poisoning would do it…
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or it's associated characters. If I did, I wouldn't have to worry about tuition payments ever again. Unfortunately, I just own the muse that likes to torment me, her name is Peri, and she sometimes multiplies. So far I've discovered Peri, Mari, and Teri, and Seri. ( O.o they won't leave me alone! .)

Case One :
The Imprisonment of Severus Snape
Severus Snape watched through the clear wall of his prison as his body mocked a young Harry Potter. He braced himself, knowing this was his only shot at freedom. The moment his body uttered the mind spell he sprang into action, crashing into the walls around him harshly, distracting his body long enough for Harry to break into his mind.
Harry stared at the significantly younger looking Snape in slight shock and puzzlement. Severus took his chance.
" Help me!" he pleaded, giving Harry a memory that would link the prisoner and the child together, before a dark shadow pulled his mind back behind his glass prison. Deserate black eyes locked with green.
" Run!"
Harry faded back into his own mind and fled the room, Snapes angrey cries following him out the door. He desperately needed a place to hide, so he went to the the only place that no one could into the bathroom, opening and closing the entrance, he didn't stop until he reached the site of the cave in, where he breathed a sigh of relief and sank down against the wall.
He reviewed the memory of Dumbledore imprisoning Severus Snape within his own mind shortly before his graduation and controlling the mans body to spy and perform magics that the headmaster couldn't. He was startled when a quiet voice echoed in his mind, as if from the other end of a long tunnel.
Hello Harry.
He blinked,
Who?
He got the distinct feeling the man had sighed,
It's me, Severus.
Harry's eyes widened,
What are you doing in my head?!
A wince from the other end of the tunnel,
I'm sorry, it was the only thing I could think of on such short notice.
A pause,
Are you safe?
Harry gave a mental nod and Severus let out a relieved sigh,
Thank Merlin.
Harry sighed and muttered, " This is weird, I've got Snape in my head, and he's being nice."
He could feel Snape grin,
Me? The Greasy Git, nice? Sorry, nice is strictly against my code of conduct.
He paused for a long moment,
Harry? Will you help me?
Harry paused to think for a moment,
How would I help? I'm just a student, and an average one at that.
Snape hesitantly began,
I need someone I trust completely to anchor my mind to-
Harry broke in,
And you trust me?
Snape nodded,
With every drop of magic I possess.
Harry seemed stunned by this revelation but kept silent as Snape continued,
As I said, I'd need to anchor my mind to yours. This prossess would take until around Christmas holidays. While this is being done, I'd be able to appear as a type of ghost, but only you would be able to see, touch, or hear me.
Once complete, we'd begin constructing walls around us mentally, and I will teach you how to accomplish that myself, before breaking me free of my body. Without a mind my body will be unable to function and we'd cast the necessary charms and spells to break Dumbledore's hold
Once that is done, I'd return to my own body, in complete control once more. Unfortunately, there would still be a mental connection between us, but if you help me I'll swear a Wizard's Oath never to bother you without your express permission, nor will I ever take advantage of the connection.
Harry contemplated this new information for a while then looked up, green eyes determined,
I'll do it.
End Case One - Verdict:
Guilty
