Remus put away the letter and the paper, moving to get up as a friend of his trotted over. Mandeville, he was a were wolf that was bitten halfway through life. "OY, Rem, I gots summat ye migh wont!" his accent was very heavy. He held up that day's copy of the 'daily prophet' his hand covering the title, underneath was a picture of Severus Snape.
"I don't want to read that" Remus sighed, no doubt it was an account of the trial and the official execution date.
"oy, I think ye do, mate, I think ye do" he plopped the paper in from of Remus, whose eyes caught on the title before he started to sweep the paper away "RELEASED; OFFICIAL APOLOGIES AT LIBERATION CEREMONY"
All Remus knew was that not only was Snape alive, but he wasn't going to die, Mandeville caught him just before he hit the ground "OY! Ye cant' pass ou' jus' now, ye hav ta read it, yur mentioned ye know."

RELEASED; OFFICIAL APOLOGIES AT LIBERATION CEREMONY
Article by: Rita Skeeter Edited by: Hermione granger
Just last Friday the Ban on death eaters was questioned and the last human to bear the dark mark was brought into ministry custody. Severus Snape an Ex professor at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry was identified and brought in by none other than Sirius Black's (the once-thought murderer of Peter Pettigrew) cousin, Narcissa Malfoy, She declined to comment. Master Snape simply said that he was not a death eater any longer and that he had stopped being a death eater long before he-who-must-not-be-named was murdered the first time. After a hearing in which Reporters were not allowed that Albus Dumbledore apparently testified during, it was announced to the media that Severus Snape had a ministry Pardon and would be released without further ado. It was also said in the official Statement that an official apology was to be made.
Suspicions rose about him being a former death eater when he began to inquire about odd pets, apparently attempting to adopt a Were wolf by the name of Remus Lupin, sources say that in school the wolf was very close friends with James Potter and Sirius Black, Master Snape's rivals during his years at Hogwarts. Minister Weasly says that it is quite possible he will permit the ex-death eater to not only visit but get a license to own wolf Lupin. The trial for the permit will occur on the 17th of this month.
-this is my A /N-
Muah ha ha ha I hope you are satisfied with my second cliffhanger (though this one was a little stump of a cliff) you will be finding out soon who the minister is, though I'm sure all you can guess the only Weasly prude enough to allow a were wolf ban…. Either way, the trial is yet to come and there will be much questioning of Snape's past as well as his intentions dragged up… can Snape hold his tongue long enough to acquire a permit or will he admit to the wizangamot or whoever else that is trying him that all he wants from the wolf is a nice hard shag and a lifetime of happiness?
