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: 'As soon as the Silver Ring was created, a bond has been formed. They would fight for their rights until the law was fully and finally destroyed. But for that to happen, a few more people had to join the group. It would be in constant danger of being found out by the Ministry. '

Severus walked down the hallway that Sunday morning, when someone came up to him. It was none other than Dumbledore.
Snape's heart picked up pace. Had Dumbledore found out about the Silver Ring? What is it he wants? Even with all those thoughts raced through his mind, the expression on his face was a cool mask of indifference.
'Ah, Severus, I have just been about to tell you, the first marriage will happen next week. I have only found out that it will be between your member of the House with the Gryffindor House. The Ministry wouldn't give me any more information.' Said Dumbledore.
Severus raised his eyebrows. They should have to talk about that on the next meeting of the Silver Ring.
'Thank you, Headmaster. I shall be getting on with my way.' Answered Severus.
Dumbledore smiled encouragingly and left him.
Severus went on with his way. Which adult should he bring on into this secret? Most of the teachers were for Dumbledore and wouldn't even imagine of going against the Ministry, especially when Dumbledore agrees with it.
Just then, someone caught his eye. A familiar person who held a mop and cleaned the corridor, accompanied with his cat. Argus Filch, and his pet, Mrs. Norris.
'You little brats get away from the floor!' Growled Filch at a couple of Gryffindors, who scuttled quickly away,' just polished this damn thing...'
Severus hesitatingly walked forward. It was worth a try, even if Filch was possibly the most traitorous person and would like to tell anyone off to the Ministry, he came from a pureblood family. If he didn't want to cooperate, his memory would be erased.
'Filch, I would like a word from you,' Snape strode forward.
Filch cowered in front of him. Snape was one of the few people he respected and was afraid of.
'Yes, professor?' Asked Filch in a hushed voice, staring up at him, with those lamp-like eyes.
'Let's go to your office.' Severus grabbed his shoulder, and hauled him into the room.
Filch backed away, Mrs. Norris entwining around his legs. She looked up at Snape, and meowed at him.
'I have come to offer you if you would like to join us. I have just founded a group with some people which will resist the Ministry's newly found law. If you remember, Filch you also come from a Pureblood family. But, if you join, or agree to help us, you must not tell this to anybody, not even Dumbledore or let alone the Ministry. You would suffer punishment from the Ministry and from us, if you give us away.' Spoke Snape.
'What if I don't want to join?' asked Filch carefully.
Snape smirked,' Then I would have to Oblivate you. So, what do you choose?'
Filch thought for a while, and Mrs. Norris jumped into his lap and purred. Finally, seeming to make up his mind, Filch gave his answer.
'Alright, I will join you. But only to give you help aside, not to be fully pushed into the problems. I can give you access to information of different kind, but will not participate totally in it. Is that fine?' Asked Filch.
'That is fine,' Answered Snape,' You may resume with your work. By the way, can you offer me someone who may join us?'
Filch growled,' I suggest you checking someone of the Weasley family. One of them may finally start to rebel.'
Snape nodded. He turned around, and walked out.
Sliding like a shadow down the hallway, Severus, made a sharp turn around the corner, and bumped into someone. Not that woman...
'I would suggest that you watch out next time where you are going, Trelawney,' Snarled Snape.
'No need to be rude, Severus,' she said, in her misty voice,' future takes sharp turns, making it not easy to be correct.'
'As if you would know,' hissed back Snape.
'Think as you like, Severus, I am still the Divination professor. On contrary to the belief, not all of us are frauds,' Sibyl was getting annoyed, and as Severus was walking away, he heard something else,' it must have been the same as in Cassandra's time...'
Severus stopped short. Of course! Cassandra Vablatsky, the great- grandmother of Sibyl Trelawney, which makes her a pureblood.
'Wait, Trelawney, I have to ask you something,' began Snape, catching up with her.
I must be going mad...thought Severus. Trelawney?
He told her everything just as he had told Filch. Trelawney raised her eyebrows.
'I hadn't been asked to make a proposition in a long time,' she said slowly,' many people would ignore me, not caring...'
She looked up at him,' But I cannot ignore that I 'm a pureblood, contraray what some purebloods do today. Yes, I will join your group.'
'Good, you will be informed of the next meeting,' said Severus, turning around and walking away, leaving the thin woman behind.
He couldn't believe that he invited that woman over to join them, and he was even more surprised that she joined them. Who knows, she may be useful. She was a Ravenclaw in her student days.
Author's Note: I don't think that there will be romance between Snape and Trelwaney this time, but will merely become good friends. What will happen at the next meeting? Find out in the next chapter. Please review to find out!
