Inquisition of Purity
Author's Note: I have returned from holidays and am back in writing! This is a different story along most of those stories which you have read (I think). It is at the end of the seventh year, where Voldemort has been defeated, and everyone is happy and free. However, Fudge sets a new law, so such pureblood mania is destroyed forever. The majority of the magical population are half bloods, so they happily accept this. Except only a few, Severus Snape among them, who fight for their rights. This is the story...
//////////////////////
Hogwarts, a History says: 'But not everyone was happy. The purebloods took this problem as if it was a powerful blow to their pride. The Daily Prophet wrote out this law for everyone to see. But one pureblood wizard did not take this calmly. He was one of the most important people who brought the fall of Voldemort. The Head of Slytherins and the Potions Master had taken the first step forward to the rebellion.'

'What!?' Yelled Professor Snape in his quarters.
This was an outrage! Given out by that blasted idiot Fudge himself. Even Fudge was a Pureblood. Yet again, he was married to a muggle born and liked the muggle borns more than his family. That is why they proclaimed him the 'family traitor'. He isolated himself from his pureblood relatives. He didn't come even to his mother's funeral, by Merlin!
Severus read again the passage. No, he read it correctly. Pureblood prohibited in the wizarding world.
He slammed the paper against the table, and with a swish of his robe, went out of the room into the Great Hall.
He scowled and took his chair next to McGonagall and Dumbledore.
'I suppose you have heard the news,' Said Dumbledore, helping himself to some potatoes and bacon.
'Oh, isn't it wonderful!' McGonagall said cheerily,' Finally we would be able to work together.'
'Don't be so sure,' Spoke Severus darkly,' the purebloods will not give in so easily.'
'But they will have to, Severus,' in a happy, snobby voice McGonagall answered,' otherwise you will get punished!'
He shot an icy glare at her. McGonagalls, another blood traitors. She seemed particularly happy that the purebloods will have to act against their wishes. That must have included especially Slytherins too. His thought agreed with what she had said next.
'I mean, the Slytherins must start accepting half bloods too. That should pull them off their horses,' Hummed McGonagall.
'If you don't remember, MINERVA, Slytherins accept half bloods also, if you remember Tom Riddle aka Voldemort?'
McGonagall shivered at the name and turned her head around to avoid conversation. Severus turned around to the hall and frowned. Ministry owls flew around and dropped pieces of paper carefully on every student which was, Severus noticed, pureblood.
'What are those owls throwing?' Snape asked Dumbledore, as he watched shocked Draco who read his parchment.
'Well, since the purebloods want strictly to marry their own kind, on every parchment writes a name of every half blood they have to marry, under the orders of the Ministry,' Answered Dumbledore.
'But, it's illegal! You can't force children to marry those who they don't want to!' Hissed Snape.
Dumbledore looked at him over his half moon glasses, ' Not unless the Ministry orders them to.'
'You knew that, Severus, of course,' Said McGonagall.
Murmurs and cries of protest went across the students. Snape overheard how Draco protested that he didn't want to marry Granger.
Severus stood sharply up from the table and walked away. He strode down to the dungeons, and slammed the door open. He sat down at his desk, and lowered his head, letting the strands of his black hair sweep onto his face like a curtain. Two black eyes glinted from beneath them.
The seventh year students walked in, chatting freely. The Slytherins looked apparently shaken. They sat down at their seats, and the lesson began.
Longbottom melted two cauldrons that day. The foolish boy still couldn't get information through his thick scull: he shouldn't put more than three drops of wyvern's tears into the potion.
The lesson ended for what seemed ages, and all of the students filed out. Except for one. Draco Malfoy.
'Sir?' he asked,' What is going to happen to us? The purebloods I mean.'
Snape looked up at him.
'Get married to the person the Ministry ordered you to marry until you finish school,' answered Snape.
'I'm with Granger,' mumbled Draco,' Is there anything you can do to stop this?'
'I alone do not have the power to stop the Ministry,' spoke Snape,' it will have to take a force to fight it back, a group of people united into one goal..'
Severus sat bold upright. Could he..
'Professor?' asked uncertainly Draco.
'I have to go and do something, Mr. Malfoy,' answered Snape, walking out,' you will hear from me.'
For I, thought Severus, have some letters to write.
Author's Note: Hum! The plot is boiling! The 'Hogwarts a History' thing is supposed to serve you as some kind of historical narrator, and may appear on most chapters of the story. If you have some ideas, tell me. Please review!
