"Is Snape still under that Truth Potion?" piped up Wizengamot wizard Patrick Patil.

"Yes," answered Amelia simply.

"Then I think we should ask him a few further questions, " said Patrick in a businesslike voice.

"Fire away, then, " encouraged Amelia.

"Snape, " asked Patrick icily, "Did you often kill in the course of your stint as a Death Eater?"

"I did participate in a few muggle killings, " spilled Snape, "But most of the time I provided information to other Death Eaters or to the Dark Lord himself. Oftentimes my information allowed the Dark Lord to track down and kill people he wanted revenge on or else out of his way. The Dark Lord also sometimes made strategic decisions based on my information. For example, it was I who relayed a prophecy to the Dark Lord that caused him to attempt to kill Harry Potter."

"What did that prophecy say?" grilled Amelia.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born as the seventh month dies. Born to parents who have thrice defied him. And the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal, but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not. And either must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives, " answered Snape.

"Does Dumbledore know about this prophecy?' questioned Amelia urgently.

"He's the one the it was made to, " revealed Snape, "It was made by a woman who Dumbledore was interviewing for a teaching post, the current Divination teacher, Professor Trelawney."

"And you told Voldemort about this prophecy?" asked Amelia with her eyes blazing.

"Yes, " said Snape, "I thought the Dark Lord could ensure his victory by acting on this prophecy and killing the baby in question, this fulfilling the prophecy and eliminating the danger."

"You were okay with a BABY being killed!" yelled Wizengamot witch Sarah Anne Perks.

"If that's what it took for the Dark Lord to triumph, then absolutely, " said Snape proudly and coldly.

"How many times did your information lead to murder or attempted murder by Voldemort or the Death Eaters?" Amelia asked Snape.

"Several times a year, " answered Snape, "In some cases, I knew the people the Dark Lord wanted to kill personally and told him where to find them. In others, I worked to gain the trust of people before selling them to the Dark Lord, and yes, in a few cases, I knocked a few off myself."

"So, you are guilty of murder, the aiding and abetting of murder, deceit, betrayal, and abuse as well as of being a Death Eater!" spat Sarah.

"Yes!' said Snape carelessly.

"Knowing that, " said Amelia, "I will propose what should happen and then will we vote. If my proposal is not approved, I will take further suggestions. I suggest that Severus Snape receive the Death Penalty and be sent through the Death Veil."

There were several nods at this, including from Patrick and Sarah.

"All who support Severus Snape being sent through the Death Veil raise your hand now!" called Amelia.

Every single member of the Wizengamot, including Amelia herself, put his or her hand into the air.

"Very well, " said Amelia.

Next nanosecond, Amelia sent a taking patronus to a group of aurors informing them that Severus Snape was guilty of being a Death Eater and that he had been sentenced to the Death Veil.

The aurors came and took Snape away and took him to the Death Veil where he was thrown straight through it.

Severus Snape was no more.
