The Dark Lord's Side

Chapter Two: Could He Be Innocent?

Disclaimer: I hate doing this, so this is it for the entire story. I don't own anything you recognize by JKR.


Dear Hermione,

I'm writing this to tell of my success. My memories aren't jumbled, the serpent might be a lion, and the pack needs to be fed.

G. W.


The Order of the Phoenix Headquarters

Scheduled Meeting

1 September 2000

9:34 PM

"I have news of Ginny, she has taken the Mark." Hermione announced. The Order tried to hide it's surprise, but most of them couldn't.

"She hints that Severus Snape might in fact, be innocent in some way. Stop Harry! She also said we need to prove Remus' death. This was all told in code, so don't worry." Hermione informed the Order.

"Snape is not innocent! I don't care if Ginny said it, it is not true!" Harry protested.

"How will we have some proof of my death?" asked Remus a little stumped.

"I don't know, Remus, I need to think about that." Hermione responded. She was the brains behind the strategy and the Order.

"Do think Severus could be innocent?" Minerva McGonagall asked defensively.

"I really don't know, we have to trust Ginny's judgment." Hermione once again answered.

"We all need to eat and we need to think. Meeting dismissed!" Harry told everyone.


While the meeting was going on the was a black silhouette standing across the street looking on the house desperately. His face wasn't his normal indifference, it displayed his remorse and sadness. He turned and disapparated.

"She thinks I could be innocent? The little chit!" Severus Snape said aloud while pacing in his study.

"So I'm a chit now?" Ginny Weasley asked from the shadows.

"How did you get past my alarms?" Snape spat at her somewhat frightened.

"Before you set your wards again I slipped in. Don't worry, I just stood here. How was the meeting?" she answered and explained.

"How do you know I went to the meeting?" he asked even more frightened then before.

It was shocking how one 18 year old could place so much fear in a man who had been servant to Lord Voldemort for most of his life.

"You had a look when you came in the room. I did get chosen to come for more than one reason. I am one of the best spell casters, I learned many tricks from F..fred and George, and I am a very good Oclumens." she explained

"Why do you think I'm innocent?" he asked glad she had explained herself.

"I know you killed Dumbledore, but I do believe you were ordered. The memory of him ordering you was in the front of your mind at the time." she said smugly.

"Get out! Now!" he ordered her with his quickly changed mood.

"Good-bye, Professor Snape." she said before aparating to her small flat.
