Attack at the Ministry
( A/N: This occurs before chp 1.)
The Ministry was unusually dark and quiet. Arthur Weasley was sitting at his desk, sorting out papers that needed to be filed. Some of the papers included simple misdemeanors, such as: backing up muggle toilets, and stopping up drink machines, nothing big.
" Ah, now, to do the updated protection booklets." said Mr. Weasley.
(This is mainly Jo's idea I revised it a bit.)

You are advised not to leave the house alone.
Particular care should be exercised during and after dusk. If possible, arrange trips during the daylight hours.

Please, Keep safe through this troubled time and we will all make it through this ordeal
Sincerely,

" Good, now that's done. Lets see what I—" He never finished. He was cut off by a loud bang. " Good Gracious, what's going on he—" He stopped; Severus Snape was standing in the doorway, smiling that evil smile.
" Well, well, well, Arthur, what do we have here?"
" What do you want, Snivelly?"
" How do you know my old nick name, Arthur?"
" I've done some research on you, Snape. I've also heard another one, one that doesn't fit you at all, what was it now, ah: the Half-Blood Prince. Where do you lot come up with those names. They sound a bit retarted to me."
" How dare you—you disgrace to the name of wizard."
" I, I am not a disgrace to the name of wizard, Snape. You are, you murderer."
" You'll pay for that, you scum, Avada Kedavra"
Arthur Weasley slumped down to the floor. His glasses fell askew. He was dead before he hit the floor.
"SEVERUS!What have you done!Why did you kill him? We could have used him. The Dark Lord is going to be angry.", yelled Bellatrix Lestrange.
" He knew about the Horcruxes,Bella." Spat Snape.
A/N: I know that chapter was a bit pointless. But it gives some of the back story( Which is Key to my plot. Title will be released with next update!—Jason)
