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 Ministry had a spy working in the inner folds of the Silver Ring. Severus Snape suspected something, but still went ahead with their plans.'
*********
'The marriage is in 10 minutes. Hurry up!' Ordered Snape.
The group of now ten people was coming up. Sibyl Trelawney was one of them.
'No need to worry, we're coming!' she called.
The group marched outside into the Hogwarts grounds. To their Portkey they went, which will take them to the Ministry. The group touched the rock, and were immediately pulled into a different place, which was known as the Ministry.
'What happened here?' exclaimed Millicent Bulstrode when they arrived.
The Ministry hall, which was normally busy with people, was now empty, with no one in sight. The members looked around, but not a hide or hair of anyone. Severus drew out his wand. Sibyl grabbed his hand.
'Severus, I'm not so sure about this. I had a prediction that one of our missions will not go good. There is something wrong.' Sibyl warned in her misty voice.
Severus pulled his arm away from her,' You always have bad omens in your predictions.' He snapped.
Sibyl gave him an angry look.
The group went forward, there was no one in sight. The Ministry hall was entirely empty. A little piece of paper fluttered across the silent floor.
'This is too easy!' Commented Terry Boot.
'Too easy to be true. As much as I despise to admit, Sibyl, perhaps your prediction was correct. There is something wrong here,' Severus spotted the fluttering piece of paper,' If the paper is moving, then there must be a draught somewhere in here. But the windows are all CLOSED.'
They went on. They went down the hall, when Severus suddenly stopped them.
'Listen. I hear voices,' Severus whispered.
He indicated to the door in front of them. Indeed, from the inside was heard muttering.
'Miss Parkinson, investigate.' Snape ordered.
Pansy nervously shuffled to the door, and pressed her ear against it. Her expression brightened up.
'It's the marriage ceremony!' she hissed.
Snape nodded curtly,' As you all know, we are here to stop Miss Weasley being married to Mr. Finingan. Stay with the plan.'
********
'Will you take this wizard to be married to you?' asked the Minister of Magical Marriages.
'No!' Said Ginny.
Fudge gave a forced, sweet smile,' Sign the contract, Miss Weasley.'
Ginny shook her head.
'Sign it, you little- ' growled Fudge, but he didn't have time to finish.
The doors burst open, and yells of 'Stupefy!' filled the room. The Marriage Minister and Cornelius Fudge were Stunned, and fell on the floor, Finningan along with them.
'Miss Weasley, run!' yelled Snape.
Ginny nodded and ran out with the rest of them, Severus stayed behind. He soon also ran out, but was met with a horrible surprise. The members were caught by the Ministry officials!
Of course! No wonder there was no one in the Hall. The Ministry people were hiding. Severus should have payed more attention to the fluttering piece of paper he saw when they came: the windows were closed, but there was a draught. The Ministry people were hiding behind the doors of other rooms, from which wind had come into the hall. The windows of the other rooms were open!
Severus cursed himself on his foolishness.
'Give it up, Snape,' said an Auror,' you are caught.'
An idea sprung in Snape's mind.
'Very well,' he said silkily, motioning as if he was going to pocket his wand, but instead was trying to take something out,' I give up. However I have to give you something-'
Severus grabbed a bottle filled with bottle green gas, and threw it against the floor, where it smashed. Gas spread around the room, clouding people's eyes.
'Those who can get away, go to the Portkey!' Called Snape, as he himself ran to the Portkey as a chance of escape.
As soon as he touched the rock, he was taken back to Hogwarts. Severus saw that only Sibyl and Terry Boot were able to save themselves.
'To the Shrieking Shack!' Ordered Snape, 'We must warn Draco and Padma.'
They ran to the Shrieking Shack, where Snape prodded the Whomping Willow with a stick, and it stood frozen in its rooted place.
The trio ran inside, but to their horror...
Kingsley Shacklebolt and an Auror were there, holding Padma and Draco captive. They pointed their wands to the trio.
'It looks like you can't slip out of this one, Professor Snape,' Said Kingsley softly.
Severus couldn't break another bottle of gas, for the one he broke at the Ministry was the last one. Giving up, he threw his wand aside.
They were soon joined by more Ministry Officials, who arrested Snape and the others.
The Silver Ring failed its mission. All because of some spy who worked for the Ministry. Fudge came in.
'Well, well, Severus Snape. I always knew there was something wrong with you,' Said Fudge.
Severus shot him a dirty look.
'We have to thank our spy though.' Fudge looked behind him,' Could you please join us?' he asked.
As the spy stepped forward, Severus and the others couldn't believe their eyes.
'Good work, Argus Filch,' Said Fudge cheerily, as he shook hands heartily with the school caretaker.
Author's Note: Yay! What a surprise! And you people thought that Ginny would be the traitor. Even I can't believe that I wrote down that Argus Filch would be it. Oh well, the Silver Ring is caught, so what will happen? Read in the next chapter! Until then, review!!!
