Lupin told everyone what had happened while Hermione, Ron and Harry sat with the rest sipping butterbeer slowly.

" I don't get it. Why would Snape do that?" Arthur asked.

"Maybe," Lupin said thoughtfully. "Maybe, he's actually on our side."

Everyone stared at him.

"Well why else would he do that?" asked Lupin. "Why else would he risk everything just to protect Harry?"

Harry who had been lost in his own thoughts jolted awake at this sentence.

"He murdered Dumbledore," he snarled.

"Oh this is so confusing," cried Mrs.Weasley. "We're going around in circles. I suggest you three go up to bed."

Harry went upstairs with Ron and Hermione. They met Fred and George at the first landing. Both of the twins supported a blue hair color.

"Always knew Snape was a crackpot," said George stuffing two extendable ears in his pocket.

"What's he playing at? Killing Dumbledore? Rescuing Harry? Maybe he drank a Potion Of Forgetfulness and didn't know he's with the Death Eaters," said Fred.

"Potion of insanity and stupidness would be more likely," replied his brother.

"How come you two weren't at the meeting?" asked Hermione.

"Well we're testing a new product for our shop and by the looks of it we think it's not quite right," said Fred pointing at his hair. "We didn't want mum to know that we're still making products. See, the joke shops been closed since Diagon Alley is empty these. Mum was really happy, but she doesn't know that we're still supplying our products via mail."

The twins went downstairs while the three of them went into Ron's room. Harry plopped on the bed exhausted.His mind was racing.

"Well that was a short trip," Ron exclaimed.

"We need to go back there," said Harry.

"Are you crazy? And get attacked by another dozen of You-Know-Who's pals?" said Ron.

"There might be something there that we missed," said Harry.

"Even if we did, I doubt it that the Death Eaters didn't" said Hermione.

Severus Snape stood in front of Lord Voldemort. He knew what he had to do and he knew hat it wasn't going to be easy. If he failed, then Dumbldore would have died in vain. A blank page replaced everything that had happened so far.

"Speak Severus," said the Dark Lord.

"M'Lord, I did as you asked ; I arrived at Godrics Hollow early in order to set the trap but Potter had already arrived. He was with Remus Lupin, the werewolf. He stunned me and would have killed me if Bella and the others had not arrived," he said.

He looked straight into the Dark Lords cold, empty eyes.

"Very well Snape," the Dark Lord replied. "Do not take this as a sign of weakness. Next time I will not be so merciful,"

"Yes m'lord. Thank you," said Snape. He bowed and left the room. A lesser wizards mind would have been turned into mush, but Snape was no ordinary wizard. He was a highly gifted Legilimens. His face was contorted with rage and disgust. He could not take much more of this. Sooner or later, the Dark Lord would break through his defences. He could run, but this would put his life in greater danger. He turned on the spot, there was a small pop and he disappeared.

Harry was woken up by Mrs.Weasley the following morning.

"Hurry up dear. Minerva just informed us; we have to go to Dumbledore's will hearing in an hour," she said.

Harry, Ron and Hermione met Fred and George on the first landing both of whom where discussing why their hair was now pink. After a quick breakfast, they sat quietly in the kitchen waiting for McGonagall. She turned up exactly at ten 'o clock. Harry held on to Mr.Wealsley's arm and they apparated. Next minute they were standing in front of a mansion that resembled Hogwarts though it wasn't as big. They entered the double oak doors and were greeted by Dumbledore's brother; Aberforth who led them into a room beside the staircase.

Harry walked slowly taking in the surroundings. This place had a Dumbledore inhabited feeling about it. Maybe because there were socks framed in many places, or maybe because there were many pictures of Fawkes and Sherbet Lemons or maybe because the carpet had the Hogwarts emblem designed on it.

They entered the room and sat down. Harry looked around and saw that there were around twenty people only out of which most of them he knew.

In the middle of the room was an object shaped like a pensieve. It was emitting an eerie nuclear green light and Harry was reminded irresistibly of the potion in the cave. Then suddenly Dumbledore's smoky figure emerged from the object.

"Hello everyone. If you are hearing this then you should know that I am no longer with you. Do not feel disheartened as everyone must face death and an adventure that all of you must face. I am however sad that I could not have another sherbet lemon before leaving this world.

Proceeding, here is my will:

To Mr. Ron Weasley: My gold chess board and a sum of 300 galleons. You were Harry's first friend and hope that you will stick with him till the end.

To Ms. Hermione Granger: My whole library. You will find that they are an interesting read and my notes on how I discovered the 12 uses on dragon blood along with a sum of 300 galleons. Stick close to Harry. He needs you and Ron at this time. You really were the smartest witch of your age that I knew.

To Mr. Fred and George Weasley: The brothers that Hogwarts will never forget. From your first day to your last escape. I must say, I enjoyed your little jokes as long as they remained so. I therefore leave you a sum of 1000 galleons for your shop and room 7 Portway Hotel, Kenton Avenue as another branch for your shop.

To Arthur and Molly Weasley: A sum of 1000 galleons and a further 300 galleons for Charlie. It has already been transferred to your vault. I have not known anyone with a bigger heart than yours. You took Harry in as a son 7 years ago and I hope that you will continue to do so.

To Mrs. Fleur Delacour and Mr. Bill Weasley: I do not know wether the marriage has taken place or not. I leave you a small cottage to the West of Surrey. Consider it as a wedding present.

To Minerva. McGonagall, Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody and the rest of the order: I never got around thanking you all for joining the order in the first place and fighting along my side in order to defeat Lord Voldemort. So, thank you. It was most courageous of you and the battle would have been lost a long time ago had it not been for you. Therefore, I leave my mansion to the order.

And now I ask you all to leave the room so I can have a word with Mr. Potter. Yes, that includes you too Aberforth."

Sounds of chairs being pushed backwards filled the room as people got up and left the room. Once they were alone Dumbledore spoke again.

"Harry. I know how you must feel. James, Lily, Sirius and now me. I am sorry that I could not be here to fight the battle with you but sacrifices have to be made in order to win. I leave you a thousand galleons and the key to my vault. You will find answers there and a stock of my sherbet lemons. On a more serious note Harry, I hope that you are searching for the objects that we had talked about during our sessions. I must warn you that if you find one, then under no circumstances try to destroy it on your own. There is only person who I told how to destroy them without killing yourself: Severus Snape."
