... closely. "I have considered the possibilities many times, but only one scenario seems to fit. You, Severus, have sown your seeds on both sides. You say you are loyal to me, yet you attended meetings with the old fool and call yourself loyal to the light as well. So which is it?" Snape stiffened. "My Lord knows I only serve him." Voldemort almost smiled. "We shall see." And then he was casting the Cruciatus Curse on Snape with a vengeance. The Potions Master fell to the ground, twitching and writhing in pain. Voldemort held him under the curse for several minutes, before he lifted it. "Tell me, Severus, how long has it been since you switched sides? How much did you tell the old fool about our plans?"

He may have been weak, but his stunner still knocked Draco back a good five feet, where he crumpled to the hard stone path. Snape quickly limped towards the gate, knowing that he didn't have much time before the alarm was sounded. Death Eaters were pouring out of the front entrance as Snape passed the boundary, and without wasting any more time, he concentrated harder than he had since he was sixteen and just learning how to apparate, and willed his body to appear at his desired destination. XXX Minerva was recounting her conversation with Harry that evening, for the second time, as Sirius, Amelia, and Kingsley had only just returned from their meeting with the senior officials, when a siren blared through the Castle, causing everyone in residence to quickly make their way to the Entrance Hall, wands in hand.
