Archiving: Want, ask, take.

Feedback: Yes, please. My e-mail address is Sassy_Sky_Angel@hotmail.com or leave a review.

Rating: PG-13 for murder, curses directed toward the minister for a couple things (I think we all want to kill him for his stupidity), and attacks on Malfoy. *grins*

Dedicated to: My best bud, Charmander, who lost the fight for legal custody over me. I am currently in Colorado and she's back in Arizona. BTW for those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, I recently moved from Arizona to Colorado and Char-Chan said she was going to fight for legal custody over me cuz she didn't want me to move. *Sniggers* A 15 year old fighting for custody over a 16 (now 17) year old, too funny. I also want to thank Ibonekoen for criticizing my ficcy!

Author's note: OK. This is Chappy Five and I'm actually surprised how well this is doing. I'm hoping to archive this somewhere else other than ff.net. If you want it, ask and then take! The more exposure, the better. *grins* Thanks for all those who have reviewed already, you make my day! Now before I go I want to ask something: Is it my imagination or has the guy (I can't remember his name) who plays Draco in the movies gotten hot? Just curious.*grins and shrugs* One thing, thoughts are in // Kay? Kay. In the forever words of Char-Chan, Peace and Monkey Grease! Bashful C



Not even bothering to knock, Jadzia stormed into Dumbledore's office. The man didn't seem the least bit phased; his eyes were in fact twinkling with amusement behind his half moon spectacles.

"Jadzia, I thought you were talking with Harry in the Gryffindor Common room. Would you care for a cup of tea?" Ignoring the offered tea cup, she glared and she sat down in a chair opposite from him.

"Is it true? Does the entire wizarding world think Sirius betrayed my brother and Lily? Was he really sent to Azkaban?" Her anger seemed to amuse him greatly, making her even angrier.

"Yes. Peter disappeared; they could not prove that Sirius was innocent. In fact they didn't give him a trial at all." He sighed. "It was the biggest mistake the ministry has ever made." Jadzia sat back in her chair, stunned. Her thoughts were going rapid.

/This is ridicules! They should know that Sirius Black would never, could never, betray James like that! When I next see the minister I'm going to give him a piece of my mind! / Angrily, she slammed the cup of tea she hadn't noticed she had in her hand down onto the small table. The glass broke, shards flying everywhere and half the cup splashed on Dumbledore, soaking his long beard. She winced while Albus just smiled jovially cleaning the mess with a wave of his hand.

Meekly, she apologized. "Sorry."

Albus laughed. "Don't worry about it. It's happened more than once when I've invited your husband to tea."

Before she had a chance to reply, there was a knock at the door. Albus smiled. Standing up, he looked down at the thoughtful young woman.

"I believe that is Cornelius Fudge, the new minister of magic." She looked at him exasperated.

/How does he always know what I'm thinking? / She had no doubt he mentioned the last part so she wouldn't tear the poor man to shreds. Suddenly, it was like a bolt of lightening hit her. /I can tell him what I know! Then he'll have to let Sirius free! /

Before she could relate this idea to Albus however he was leading the minister, in his normal pinstriped suit, to a chair that she was sure hadn't been there a second ago. The minister sat down; suddenly noticing the other guest he nearly jumped out of his skin.

"Jadzia Snape! You're alive!" He said, sounding shocked. She refrained from rolling her eyes. /that is starting to get just the tiny bit annoying. /

"So I've heard." She remarked dryly. "I have a few things I wish to discuss with you minister."

Cornelius nodded. "First I would like to know how you survived You-Know- Whose attack all those years ago and why you didn't tell anyone you were still alive." He sounded perplexed, cautious, and something she couldn't put her finger on. Mentally shrugging, she quickly explained what happened the night of the attack, including the part about Sirius' innocence.

"That's impossible! Sirius is guilty! James never changed the secret keeper! He must have told you that so he would be able to check your loyalty." Narrowing her eyes, she glared at him.

"Don't you ever, ever, doubt my loyalty to my brother! He was the only family I had left! Why would I wish to kill my own twin?! That's absurd! And I demand an apology! At once! I will not be treated like a death eater or some old hag who doesn't have any feelings!" She fairly yelled. The look he was giving her was one of pure venom.

"I am the minister of magic! If I say you are lying, then you are! In fact," He turned his gaze at the headmaster "I don't believe this is really Jadzia Snape! Its probably a death eater whose trying to get any information on You-Know-Who so they can try and bring him back! Jadzia Snape would never raise her voice like that. I want you to dismiss her from the school grounds immediately!"

Jadzia suddenly realized the emotion she hadn't been able to identify earlier. It was fear, pure and true fear. An unbidden memory rose to the surface of her thoughts.

(Flashback)

"Cornelius! Get Mrs. Snape. I want to test Severus' loyalty to us; she will be most useful." The pure evil in the voice made twenty-one year old Jadzia Potter-Snape shiver. Glaring at the death eaters in her nephew's bedroom, she refused to budge. Her sister-in-law and best friend lay dead on the floor; Voldemort was standing in front of Lucius Malfoy, Peter Pettigrew, and a young, excited, Cornelius Fudge.

In her animagus form, she couldn't do anything as he picked her up except peck at his hands with her beak. Cursing, he hit her in the head. The last thing she saw before blackness overtook her was her nephew staring at the tip of Voldemort's wand.

(Back to Present)

Getting shakily to her feet, she pulled out her trusty unicorn wand out of a pocket in her robes and pointed it directly at the minister's chest. Speaking quietly, she both explained to Albus why she was doing what she was doing and also allowed the minister to know that she remembered his secret.

"I should kill you for what you did. You were-are- a death eater and were there the night Voldemort attacked my brother! I should kill you one the spot. But I won't. I think I might just leave that to my husband and grandfather." She snarled. Edging away from her wand, Cornelius weakly begged for Dumbledore's help.

"She's a mad woman! M-me? A d-d-d-death eater? It's pre-preposterous! I demand you disarm her at once Albus!" Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side, and neither, apparently, was Albus Dumbledore. His face had lost its usual cheerful demeanor, and the twinkle was gone from his eyes. He searched the minister's own terrified eyes. Panic and fear stared back.

"Is this true, Cornelius?" He asked quietly. Jadzia glared at the minister, daring him to disagree with her. He took the dare.

"O-of course not A-Albus! Me? A d-d-d-death eater?" That took the cake. She reared back and smacked the minister across the face. Immediately a red mark appeared on his cheek along with a startled and angry glare. He looked like he was about to stand up, glanced at her wand which was shaking from her anger, and thought better of it. Lucky for him.

"If you really aren't a death eater, you wouldn't mind showing us your left fore arm, now would you?" Jadzia asked, with sarcastic sweetness (A/N: Wow! People can actually do that? Cool!) The minister went pale. He quickly went absolutely white when Albus thoughtfully nodded his head.

"There is a witness who says she saw you help kill the Potter's Cornelius. However before we look at the piece of evidence, I wish for Fawkes to go and get the main staff; Minerva, Filius, Severus, and Aretha. That way we will have witnesses." He explained. Cornelius' face became transparent; you could literally see his veins and facial muscles through the thing he called skin.

Fawkes disappeared out of the open window. After a few tense minutes in which Jadzia mused out loud what curses and hex' Severus would use on the minister when he found out what he had done (scaring the kazooeys out of the minister and amusing Albus in the process), Fawkes returned. Another five minutes went (Jadzia used the time to wonder out loud whether a dragon or a giant would get to eat the minister) until finally the sound of murmurings came from behind the door. With a wave of his hand, the door opened and the four teachers as well as Madam Pomfrey walked in.

Severus took one look at his wife with her wand (and muttering whether a dragon would eat the minister or spit the slimy bastard out) and immediately knew something was very wrong. She had only threatened someone with death as a dragon meal once before; Lucius had broken into her common room when she became a prefect and stole her diary. He never really tempted her anger again. Mouth quirking at the memory, he wrapped his hand around Jadzia's wrist.

"Dear, I don't think you want to hex the minister to kingdom come. It'll look bad on your oh-so-innocent reputation."

Pursing her lips, she shot back "First, I'm not innocent as you very well know!" Here, Severus smiled in consent "And secondly I think the wizarding world would thank me." There was no denying the pure venom that was in her voice. Minerva looked at the bone-chilling look on Jadzia's face and the fear on Cornelius before turned to Albus.

"Albus, what on earth is going on?" Albus gave Jadzia a steady look and she took her gaze off of Cornelius for a few seconds to nod at Albus. The few seconds were all he thought he needed. He jumped up but before he could do a thing he fell to the floor with a glazed look in his eyes. Sirius stepped out of the shadows. He had hexed the minister. Jadzia ran and hugged him, burying her face in his chest. She kept mumbling "thank you" and "I should have killed the slimy bastard" over and over again. Finally she looked up and with tears in her eyes, asked him the question she already knew the answer to.

"Hey Sirius, ready to be declared innocent?"
