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...

Kingsley Shacklebolt sat in his office, looking down at the files. He frowned. There was something wrong. He knew it. All those students disappearing mysteriously. And the witnesses denied seeing anything.
Somehow, it was too planned to be true.
Could the witnesses....no, it would be a too much of a coincidence. What he needed, was someone who worked INSIDE the Silver Ring, someone that would break to them.
A knock at the door.
'Enter.' Called Kingsley.
Arthur Weasley entered.
'Sorry about that,' he said in his usual friendly way,' got to gather some papers.'
He shuffled in, and got them,' I have no idea how the owls brought these here. Errol was an excellent owl when I got him. Too bad he's not that much use now, old age you know. My son, Ron, has a much better one, but it's too energetic.' Arthur laughed.
'How are your children at school?' asked kindly Kingsley.
'Ron will soon graduate, and Ginny's still in her sixth year, doing well in class. She's a clever girl. Always does to please her family.' Said Arthur proudly.
He left the office, leaving Kingsley alone. Ginny was always a smart girl....Ginny! Of course!
Kingsley went out of is office, an walked to the nearest fireplace. He threw some Floo Powder in.
'Hogwarts, Gryffindor Tower.' Said Kingsley as he was teleported to the location.

'Right, the meeting is over. And I say once over again: do not repeat this to anybody. The Ministry will keep a sever eye on s from now on.' Instructed Snape, as the members left the secret room.
Pansy Parkinson was the only one that stayed behind.
'Has Mr. Malfoy done his homework?' asked Snape.
Pansy handed it over. Draco, even if he was in hiding, had to do his schoolwork. It was handed every week in, 'anonymously'.
Severus tucked it inside his robes. They both went out of the room.
Pansy went her way down to the Slytherin common rooms, Severus went towards the Gryffindor Tower, to give the Transfiguration homework to McGonagall from Draco. On the way, he stopped short, as he saw Shacklebolt coming up to him.
'Professor Snape,' Shacklebolt said in respect.
Snape gave a curt nod of his head,' What are you doing here, Shacklebolt?'
'I'm looking for Miss Weasley. Is she here?' asked Kingsley.
'She must be in the Library. Why do you want her?' Severus asked.
'Just for some..questioning.' Shacklebolt changed the topic,' Are those Draco Malfoy's Transfiguration homework?'
Snape nodded and looked coldly into the black man's eyes.
'I though he is in hiding.' Shacklebolt questioned.
'I receive this anonymously. And if I were you, I'd hurry up to the Library before Miss Weasley leaves.' Snape snapped.
He turned around, his black robes billowing behind him, leaving Shacklebolt standing there.
What the Auror didn't see was that Snape slipped up a secret passageway that led to the Library. There he saw Miss Weasley, sitting and reading by the table.
'Shacklebolt is going to question you. Stick to the plan and say nothing else.' Snape hissed to the girl, who jumped in her seat in surprise.
He left the room, and soon after in came Shacklebolt himself.
'Miss Weasley, may I have a word with you?' asked Kingsley.
Ginny looked up from her book and nodded. She got up and followed the Auror outside, leaving the book behind.
Once they were from all the public, Shacklebolt addressed to her.
'Miss Weasley, I know,' said Shacklebolt.
Ginny's breathing stopped.
'Know what?' She asked, trying to stay calm.
'That you are working in the Silver Ring.' Said Kingsley.
It became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
'Come now Miss Weasley, admit it. You do work for the Silver Ring. Everyone in the Ministry knows it.' Encouraged Kingsley.
'If you know it, then why would I have to admit it?' asked Ginny,' Unless you are trying to trick me.'
Arthur was serious. The girl was clever. Shacklebolt tried again.
'Fine, you may not admit it. But think of your family,' Shacklebolt said, remembering another thing Arthur mentioned,' they would be so devastated to see their daughter working for an outlawed group.'
Ginny was silent, her head bowed. Kingsley pressed on.
'Tell me. Admit that you are working for them. You can help the Ministry by finding out the plans that the group makes so we can stop this chaos. What do you say? Will you help us?' asked Kingsley.
Ginny thought about this in her head. Will she admit that she worked in the group? Her parents would be devastated if she didn't admit and they found out. First they lose Percy, now her.
She could help the Ministry and when the Ring is defeated, she would be a hero. Written down in Hogwarts history as one of the spies who stopped an outlawed group to plot against the government.
Ginny had no choice. She knew what the answer was.
She looked up at Kingsley and told him the answer.
Author's Note: Aaahhh! What has Ginny said? You just have to guess. Sorry for not updating too long. Had a test this week in school, and schoolwork comes first. Please review!
