(Author's Note: This is supposed to be a special edition chapter but really there is nothing special about it. LOL! Ashley typed this whole thing too so Niki isn't cool anymore. Hahahahahahahahaha! Just kidding. Anyways, enjoy!)

The day of Snape's trial came very quickly. Lupin had taken his place as the potions teacher. Dumbledore stood up at breakfast:

"Will the following students please come up and enter the side door; Amanda Brown, Casey Edwards, Seamus Finnigan, Hermione Granger, Elizabeth Johnson, Neville Longbottom, Jacoby Malfoy, Harry Potter, Nikole Street, Andrea Sarindine, Ron Weasley, Ashley White, and Oliver Wood."

All the students nervously stood up and walked toward the door.

"What about me?!" Draco demanded.

"What about you?" Liz stuck her tongue out.

"Shut up, you blonde. You don't know anything." Ashley yelled at him.

Once on the Hogwarts Express everyone looked towards Casey.

"Better watch it, Casey. You're the only Slytherin." Ashley said.

"Yeah, we're all Gryffindor and we'll kick your ass!" Neville said.

"Shut up or grow some balls, Neville." Nikole rolled her eyes.

Once at the Ministry, they were rushed into a courtroom, which turned out to be the wrong one, (Lockhart's sanity hearing) and were taken to another one. Neville was put on the bench first.

"Please state your name for the court." Barty Crouch said.

"Neville Longbottom."

"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"

"I do."

"Do you swear on your gayness?" Ashley asked.

"Yes, I d-wait a minute!"

The court snickered.

"Order, please continue questioning."

*By Ashley*

"Neville Longbottom, how long have you been attending Hogwarts?"

"5 years."

Crouch nodded to the shaking Neville and continued, "Is it true you are scared of your potions teacher?"

"Objection your honor!" Lockhart exclaimed, standing next to Snape, "My client is being harassed!"

Snape jumped and looked at Lockhart, "Where did you come from? You're not my lawyer! Where is my lawyer?! Aren't you suppose to be in the other room?!!"

"See your honor? My client is distressed." Lockhart explained.

"I am not distressed!" Snape paused, "And I am not your client!"

"Yes you are!"

"Lord help me."

"That poor deranged man." Oliver tisked.

"Which one?" Nikole asked.

"Both of them." Ron said.

"No further questions. The court now calls Elizabeth Johnson to the stand." Barty called.

Liz jumped out of her seat, crawled over all the chairs, and stepped on Snape's head to get to the stand.

"Raise your right hand." Barty commanded. Liz rose her hand, "No, your OTHER right."

"Oh."

"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God?" Barty asked.

"What?!" Liz asked. Barty repeated himself. "Umm. okay!"

"Ms. Johnson, has Severus Snape ever made you do something you felt uncomfortable with?"

"Who's that?"

Barty sighed, "Your potions teacher."

"Oh! I thought his first name was Professor!"

"Well has he?"

"Yes." Liz nodded.

"What has he done?"

"One time, I spilt some chemicals, and he made me go wash my hands!" Liz exclaimed, "Can you believe that?!"

Barty groaned, "No further questions."

*By Nikole*

"Oliver Wood, please come to the stand."

Oliver looked nervously around as he sat down.

"Mr. Wood, did you ever notice anything strange about Ashley's behavior?"

"She would always sneak away to the dungeon."

"For class?"

Oliver shook his head.

"Did anyone else notice?"

"My girlfriend, Andr."

"Names, Mr. Wood."

"Nikole Street, Andrea Sarindine, and Jacoby Malfoy."

"And what is your relationship with Miss Street?" Lockhart asked.

"I just told you, you pansy, she's my girlfriend!" Oliver glared.

*By Ashley*

"But Pansy is in Slytherin." Neville squeaked.

Ashley whacked Neville upside the head.

"Have you ever heard Ms. White talking to Snape outside of class?"

Oliver sighed and nodded.

"About?"

"I don't know, the conversation was never clear." Oliver explained.

"Alright. No further questions. The court now calls Nikole Street."

Nikole took her seat at the stand.

"Ms. Street, did you ever notice Ashley sneaking out of her dorm?"

"Yes."

"Did she ever mention sleeping with Professor Snape or doing any other activities with him?"

"No."

"Would she tell you if she did?"

"Yes."

"What is your relationship with Oliver Wood?" Lockhart asked.

"Stop interrogating me!!! What does this have to do with the case?!"

*By Nikole*

"No further questions." Lockhart said.

"Good, you freak." Nikole rolled her eyes.

"Seamus Finnigan."

He sighed and got up.

"Mr. Finnigan, do you know what the Great Terror was?" Lockhart asked.

"Yes! You! A wave of senseless panic, you freak!" Hermione yelled. (Haha, me and Nikole are on crack when we're in U.S History.. Studying about the French Revolution.. Yeah..)

"Okay, we are getting nowhere with this!" Harry said.

"Clearly, this man is not a lawyer!" Ron said. Everyone quickly agreed.

"Now they realize it!" Snape sighed.

"Court is dismissed until we can find Snape's real lawyer," Mr. Crouch said.

"Asking all those ridiculous questions," Andrea said as they boarded the Hogwarts Express.

"I've never heard anything so stupid!" Amanda rolled her eyes.

Most of the ride was peaceful, aside from Neville and Casey arguing back and forth until Oliver finally told them to shut up.

They walked into the Great Hall and took their seats. Everyone looked and began asking questions.

"I will not discuss it," Neville tried to act sophisticated, but with no prevail.

The next morning, it was back to the Ministry.

*By Ashley*

"Lucius! Where were you yesterday?" Snape asked angrily, "You ARE my lawyer! You kind of have to be in court."

"I was! Right when I entered the courtroom, that freak Lockhart threw a banana peel in my way and I slipped!" Lucius replied, also sounding angry.

"You fell for the oldest trick in the book!"

"Oh shut up. I made sure Lockhart was tied up and gagged and flown to Japan. We won't see him for quite a long time."

Their conversation was cut short when Barty Crouch announced that the court was now in session.

"The court now calls Casey Edwards."

Ashley threw Casey a dirty look as Casey took her seat at the stand. She swore to tell the truth and they began.

"Miss Edwards, did you have an affair with Professor Snape?" Lucius asked.

"No." Casey answered.

"Oh really? So what were you doing in Snape's classroom when Ms. White saw you walk out? There wasn't any classes going on."

"I was making up a test since I've been absent." Casey answered.

"Has Snape ever made any moves on you that you felt uneasy with?"

"Of course not! He's my teacher! Gross!" Casey exclaimed.

"No further questions, your honor." Lucius said. Casey got up and went back to her seat.

"Was she lying?" Neville asked.

"I don't think so." Oliver said.

Everyone nodded and hoped it was true.

"The court now calls Ashley White."

The whole room went quiet as Ashley got up and walked over to the stand. She swore to tell the truth and Lucius began.

"Ms. White, are you fond of your potions teacher?"

"Depends. What is your definition of fond?" Ashley asked.

"Did you find him attractive or liked him more than a student should a teacher?"

"Yes, I did."

"Did you have a relationship with Snape?"

"Yes."

"Sexual relations?"

"No."

"Are you telling me you did not sleep with Professor Snape?"

"That is exactly what I am telling you."

"Did you and Snape ever try, attempt, or think to have sex?"

"No. He thought we shouldn't and it was for the best."

"I see. So ladies and gentlemen, Snape did not have sexual relations with this student, therefore he did not commit any crime!" Lucius explained.

"There was still a relationship." Crouch interrupted.

Lucius scowled and turned back to Ashley. He continued questioning, "I see, how far has your relationship gone?"

Ashley was quiet for a moment, she looked at Snape. Ashley gulped and tried to speak. But nothing would come out.

"Is she going to cry?" Nikole asked worriedly.

"I hope not." Oliver said.

"I didn't want it to go this far! I don't want him to go to Azkaban because of me!" Ashley exclaimed. "I'm sorry." Then she got up and ran out of the courtroom.

*By Nikole*

Nikole and Liz looked at each other, then got up and ran after her.

"Ashley!" Lizzy yelled. Forgetting about being stupid, and being serious, she put her arm around Ashley.

"You'll be okay; we'll make sure that Snape doesn't go to Azkaban. He's our least favorite teacher, but we'll do this for you." Nikole smiled.

A hand was now on Ashley's shoulder. The three girls looked up. Lockhart stood there, "It's going to be okay. I'll make sure he'll get back to teaching."

"Oh GOD!" Liz yelled.

"Aren't you supposed to be in Japan?" Ashley asked.

"Shh, don't tell anybody!" Lockhart hissed.

"Freak." Nikole rolled her eyes, as they walked back into the courtroom.

Ashley walked to the front of the court. "Professor Snape is innocent. We never did anything together." She said.

Crouch banged his gavel, "Snape is released from all charges!"

The girls smiled.

~*~

Everyone entered potions the next week. Ashley took her seat at the front of the class. Snape walked in and stood in his usual spot. Ashley looked up, Snape smiled for once. Ashley smiled back.

Lockhart popped up from nowhere, "It's soooo beautiful!" he cried.

"Shut up!" everyone yelled.
