At 3 April 1976, Dumbledore the headmaster spoke into the megaspeaker, "Hello to all, OWLS are all over. Hope you all have done well. Meanwhile, can I see James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew in my office please?" The marauders were shocked. They hesitated for a while until Dumbledore walked up to them. "All of you, come with me to the office. I need to have a word with all of you." The marauders did as they were told and dragged their footsteps to follow Dumbledore to their office.
When they all reached Dumbledore's office, Dumbledore started speaking, "Are you all nicknamed the "Marauders"?"
"Yes." chorused the marauders together. Remus continued to ask, "But why did you ask us to come? Did we do anything bad?"
"Yes you all definitely did. You four should know it. I have seen James and Sirius bullying Snape, and trying to pull off his pants, and you Remus, and Peter are all together. Can you explain this?"
"Yes we did." said James. "But let me say something first. Sirius and I hated Snape because of his obsession with the dark arts, and he was a Nazi also. But also when Lily came to Snape's help, Snape called her a mudblood. Snape also hexed at me."
"I didn't do anything to Snape," Remus said. "James and Sirius did it, and Peter was watching it for fun. But they have their reasons for doing that. Snape is a racist and a Nazi."
"Precisely." said Sirius.
"Okay sure, I understand why you did that, but can you all show me the memory of Snape being a racist and calling Lily a mudblood?" Dumbledore requested.
"Absolutely." said James firmly. "Later you will know what a dick and pest Snape is." Dumbledore went to see the memory of the incident. When he saw the entire incident, he was shocked.
"THIS IS NOT HOW I RAISED A STUDENT TO BE LIKE THAT!" screamed Dumbledore.
When Dumbledore calmed down, he replied, "Sorry but to all of you, I will commend you all for your actions. A Nazi and a racist deserves to be dealt with harshly. Good news is, you are all awarded 50 points each. I will call Snape to my office. You all may go." All the marauders were excited to hear this and thanked Dumbledore profusely.
When Dumbledore brought Snape to his office, Dumbledore said angrily, "Snape, you are a disgrace to Hogwarts, and I am ashamed to have you as part of Hogwarts."
Snape was horrified. He replied, "Why? What did I even do?"
Dumbledore shouted, "You are a Nazi and racist, according to what James, Sirius and Remus told me. You tried to hex James also. And you fucking dare to call Lily a mudblood when she wanted to help you. YOU ARE SUCH A TERRIBLE PERSON!" Snape said nothing. "First, Snape, you must be punished. You will receive three strokes of caning." Dumbledore used the cane to hit Snape's buttock three times as hard as he could.
"OUCH!" yelled Snape.
"Shut up." snapped Dumbledore. He continued, "And to your last punishment, thanks to you, your house will have zero points at the end of year. And I don't know if Lily will forgive you or not. If she does, I don't care. But I hope she doesn't. I HOPE, SHE WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU AS A FRIEND EVER AGAIN. I HOPE THE MARAUDERS AND LILY WILL NOT SPEAK TO YOU EVER AGAIN!"
Snape replied, "But...but.."
Dumbledore immediately cut off Snape and said firmly, "No buts. Anyway, if I hear another incident like this, you are going to be expelled from Hogwarts. Do you fucking hear me?"
"Yes I fucking do." snapped Snape.
Dumbledore used the cane to hit Snape. Dumbledore screamed, "DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" Snape didn't reply. He nodded his head shakily. Dumbledore continued, "Then get out of my sight now." Snape left his office in tears.
