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: 'The time of Padma Patil's wedding was coming soon, and the Silver Ring had to act quickly. Plans were made, and they went into action.'
*********
'Everything ready?' asked Severus, looking at all of them.
'Yes, Sir!' they answered.
Severus straightened himself up, for he had been bending over a map, which indicated how their plan will work out. With a swish of robes, he exited the secret room, while the others followed behind him.
'Since the marriage is being held at the Ministry, I think we will have to use a portkey. Floo Powder is too much of a risk.' Explained Severus.
'Why?' asked Crabbe.
'The Floo web is being watched,' nudged him Pansy Parkinson.
Crabbe nodded. There were six of them: Snape, Parkinson, Crabbe, Bulstrode, Terry Boot and Susan Bones. Goyle stayed at home to look after Draco.
They were again outside, near the Forbidden Forest. This time the portkey was an old maple tree. But before they could reach it, somebody came in their way.
'Good mornin' Professor!' greeted them Hagrid,' You taking the students for ah walk?'
'Yes,' answered Snape calmly,' we have to do some research in the woods for some plants.'
'I've been wonderin' about that girl tha' was supposed to get married today,' said thoughtfully Hagrid,' poor girl. Tha' brat Malfoy should have been married, but tha' poor girl Patil..she ain't done nothing wrong. They shouldn't force her.'
'I have nothing to do with a student who is outside my House. She is in Ravenclaw, and is none of my concern,' said Snape coolly.
Hagrid looked oddly at him, but then shrugged his shoulders.
'Best be gettin' on with me way,' Hagrid shifted uncomfortably,' Good day Prefesser.'
Severus gave a curt nod, and when Hagrid went away, they all suddenly hurried to the portkey.
'He took out much time from us,' whispered Snape,' we need to hurry.'
Without another word, they all touched the portkey and were transported to the Ministry.
*********
Padma stood miserably in the hall where court for crimes usually was. Now it was used for marriage, her marriage.
Colin Creevey was brought up next to her. He was a bit smaller than her. Colin gave her a shy, small smile. Padma forced a smile back. Poor boy, the Ministry shouldn't be forcing such a person as him to be marrying her.
'Is everything ready?' asked the Minister for Marriage.
'Yes, yes, let's hurry up,' grumbled impatiently Fudge.
'Cornelius,' said Dumbledore softly,' shouldn't the doors be guarded?'
'No, Albus,' smiled Fudge smugly,' no one would dare to get into here while there are many people outside working.'
*********
'Excuse me,' asked Susan Bones, as she approached the secretary,' but is Madam Bones here?'
'She is currently at the arranged wedding,' smiled kindly the secretary,' you will have to wait.'
'But this is urgent,' piped up Susan,' it's about the Silver Ring!'
The secretary immediately pricked her ears up. The Silver Ring was now becoming more popular, and the Ministry was on the lookout for them.
'What about them?' asked the Secretary, a bit too harshly.
'I heard that they were going to stop the wedding. Please, I've got to speak to my aunt about this!' she cried, ' I'm Susan Bones, her niece.'
The secretary got up,' Follow me.'
As Susan Bones followed, Crabbe sneaked up to the empty table, and snacked some keys from the secretary's drawer. He then ran off to the hiding place.
The secretary led Susan to the dark corridors, until they came to the door they wanted. She opened it.
'Susan!' exclaimed Madam Bones from inside,' What are you doing here?'
'She has some information about the Silver Ring,' said the secretary.
'Come in, then!' said Madam Bones,' Say it all to us!'
Susan Bones went into the room.
********
Mean while, Severus uncorked a small tube, and out seeped this time some yellow gas. The gas slowly, invisibly, spread through the Ministry. The Ministry officials standing there, were soon swaying on their feet, and collapsed on the floor unconscious.
Severus and the others had taken antidotes, so the potion wouldn't affect them. Severus stepped outside from the hiding place with Pansy Parkinson and Terry Boot.
They walked off to the place where the wedding was being kept. Severus pulled them into the shadows, for the secretary which was dismissed, was walking down the hallway, towards them.
Severus whipped out his wand, and whispered,'Stupefy!'
The secretary was knocked out. Severus walked over to her, and took a hair from her head. He plopped it into a familiar- looking liquid. Severus then drank it, making a grimace, that the drink was awful. He transformed exactly into the secretary, and charmed his clothes to look exactly like hers.
He went back up to the doors and barged in.
'Haven't I told you that you've been dismissed?' Yelled Fudge.
'I'm sorry Minister, but I have forgotten something,' said Severus in her body.
'What?' asked irritated Fudge.
'This!' with a sly smile, he whipped out his wand,'Stupefy!'
The Minister had been blasted off. When Dumbledore and Madam Bones took out their wands, Boot and Parkinson rushed in, forcing their spells on the two. Amazingly, Dumbledore and Bones were knocked down, along with the Minister for marriage and Colin Creevey.
Bulstrode grabbed Padma by the hand and ran out. The rest followed behind them.
They all met again at the portkey, which was a shoe, and disappeared with out a trace.
