Chapter: 141

It took a great deal of effort for Edwin to convince Snape to stop spying on the dark lord, but both Edwin and Snape knew that it will take more than Edwin telling everyone that Snape's on their side. So they came up with a plan to make everyone believe or at least partly trust him

Snape let the word out that Edwin and Harry are in the castle and that they have to capture them for the dark lord, this gave ever death eater motivation to search the castle while Dumbledore's army (they will be called Hogwarts's army after this) would take some of them out one at a time but would make sure to leave some of the gatherings.

Edwin had pitched the idea to have the reveal at the grand hall and Snape agreed, so the order that everyone present in Hogwarts would have to attend the gathering; where the remaining death eaters would torture and threaten students until they break or give Harry up.

Within the grand hall, the students and teachers alike were being led to the high table in lines by at least one death eaters while some had two" Headmaster Snape this is all of em" A death eater said as everyone fitted themselves into five groups of teachers and houses.

"No as most of you have heard Mr. Potter has found his way into the castle," Snape said as the death eaters circle around the Gryffindor house picking Harry housemates out" giving you all false hope of rebellion but let me assure you as Headmaster of Hogwarts I will try to minimize the chances of… accidents happening during the questioning"

"Now we won't need any of that if you just would give Mr. Potter up," Snape said leaving a death eater behind him and he walked to the Gryffindor group where the death eaters had Neville on his knees as they planned to torture him first" now Mr. Longbottom do you know where Harry Potter is"

Neville looking directly into Snape's eyes as if trying to defy him but what he saw surprised him, Snape winked at Neville which left him dumb fold" why did Snape wink at me, was there something in his eye" Neville questioned himself

"Mr. Longbottom" Snape called out once again as the two death eater point their wand at him but before Neville could give Snape a piece of him mind Snape winked more than once and even moved his head in a direction as if telling him where to go.

Neville continued to wonder what was the reason for Snape's weird behavior when one of the death eaters got tired of waiting" Crucio" he shouted and a horrible scream filled the grand hall causing students and teachers alike to flinch.

But the Cruciatus curse seems to have jogged Neville memory as he recalled the words of Edwin" Trust Snape.

Harry was indeed in Hogwarts, he was hiding with Yasbel and Edwin in the Hufflepuff group; hearing Neville's cries Harry was about to shout but Edwin used a full-body curse on him and fixed his tongue to the top of his mouth" just wait" Edwin whispered as he placed Harry in a position to watch Snape.

The Cruciatus curse was soon over and Neville looked directly at Snape and thought" whatever you're planning I'll trust you" as he nodded his head once again Snape moved his head to the direction of the Gryffindor group.

"Now Mr. Longbottom," Snape said moving away from the death eaters" Let me ask you something are you ready to talk"

"I am" Neville shouted out which caused a shock within everyone but Neville soon got up and rushed towards the Gryffindor group. With his body still hurting he could get far as a death eater was ready to attack.

Snape took the moment that Neville provided him and knocked the death eater out, the reaming one quickly turned back to attack whoever it was that attacked but it was too late Snape had already fired a second spell effectively knocking the death eater out.

The hall was once again left in dumbstruck but this time the death eaters were also confused, As Snape turned to the single Death eater guarding Slytherin and attacking him; Professor McGonagall didn't need any more examples as Snape took out the death eater and she joined in and soon the rest of the teachers did.

The death eaters were quickly captured. But everyone was still staring at Snape wondering what to do at this time Edwin let Harry go." You bastard" Harry shouted charging towards Snape with his wand out but Snape didn't raise his wand up.

"You killed him" Harry shouted" you kill- "

"Expelliarmus" Edwin shouted disarming Harry before he could do anything to Snape" Harry calm down and let me explain"

"There is nothing to explain"

"There is," Edwin said and Professor McGonagall along with the other professors stepped forward.

"yes there is," Professor McGonagall said

"Headmaster Snape is a spy for Dumbledore" Edwin blankly stated" well was"

"Severus is that true" Professor Slughorn asked.

"it is," Snape said and everyone looked at him differently" but we have more important matters at hand the Dark lord will soon find out that he lost control of Hogwarts and will try to get it back,"

"And that's where the last fight will be" Edwin added looking at Harry who was still glaring at Snape." We will discuss the matter another time"

Edwin went to grab the important people from the black manor bringing them to Snape's office along with Hogwarts staff and his friends" I know most of you don't trust Snape but you will have to" Edwin said showing everyone the pensilua.

"I have here some of his most personal memory for you to view" Edwin stated with a smile" the first is his orders from Dumbledore"

Edwin didn't look at the memory but he knew that it said as everyone looked at Snape with sympathy but something different did happen His name was mentioned in the speech" what did you gave Dumbledore" Professor McGonagall asked.

"A present" Edwin said looking at Harry who found it difficult to believe that Snape is on their side" Harry I have something to show only you"

"What is it," Harry said

"Snape most precious memory," Edwin said giving Harry the memory that Snape has of his mother. Edwin had to do a lot of convincing for Snape to agree to any of this but without it, everyone would just be suspicious.
