Chapter 104

Severus woke up slowly he realized several things at once, he was hanging bound up and Ron Weasley was laying in the grass the others were all gone. Snape was able to inch him self by his toes, which could just touch the ground to make it to the wand that he knew was his laying in the grass. Snape pushed his toe down onto the wand thinking the countercharm to release all the ropes that were bounding him. Severus checked Ron he was ok it was a small amateurish hex that had knocked him out. He conjured a stretcher then waved his wand so that Ron rose into the air where he was set gently down on the stretcher. Snape then looked around he saw what looked like something silver disappear across the lake as all the dementors had left for their positions out at the gates. “Good don’t need those horrors around me.” Severus brought Ron’s stretcher with him as he walked to the lake edge to see, Harry, Hermione and Black lying by the waters edge.

“Oh no please Lily don’t let your son be dead or worse.” He hurried to the three.

Snape bent first over Harry, he felt an immense amount of relief as he felt a pulse and saw that he was fine, just out cold. Nothing a large amount of chocolate wouldn’t help. Snape walked over and checked on Hermione to see that she too was just out cold but fine other wise.

Severus looked over to see Black out cold; he quickly wrapped him up and gagged him. Snape conjured up three more stretchers and placed the two children gently onto them. He then slammed Black onto his stretcher a lot harder then need be. Severus waved his wand again and floated all four up to the school. Lily and James were of course following after him.

“I wonder what will happen now; will they believe Harry and his friends?” Lily asked softly as they walked into the school behind Snape who continued to float the stretcher along the hallway to the hospital wing.

Severus called to Madam Pomfrey who quickly came out of her office to see the three students and a dirty looking man she could not tell who it was on the stretcher.

“Here I’ll get them into beds.”

“Not Black he will await the Minister of Magic to take him to Azkaban.” Snape said softly.

Pomfrey looked surprised by this but said nothing as he floated the stretcher onward to find Dumbledore heading toward him.

“Headmaster, I have Black here, he was using the old Shrieking Shack to come into the school, Lupin was helping him. I had caught them and Potter, Granger and Weasley in there with them. It appears Black had confounded the students.”

Black had awakened and he looked at him with his eyes filled with concern. “Please take him to Flitwick’s office on the tower, he can be locked up in there and then if you don’t mind the Minister should be here shortly if you could meet him at the front gate and lead him inside.”

“I shall be glad too.” Severus told him pleased. He led what he believed was the unconscious Black to the tower office. He opened up the door and moved the stretcher inside. Snape gave his wand a small flicker and the stretcher disappeared leaving Black to land hard on the stone floor.

“Enjoy your stay in here Black it won’t take long before we say good bye… for good.”

Black got up with a moan as he looked around the room. “Wait Severus please listen to me the rat.” Sirius yelled worried he jumped to his feet as the door shut and locked before he could reach it.

I don’t know what you’re playing at but I didn’t see Peter there anywhere the guys’ dead and you killed him after you let the Dark Lord kill Lily. Snape thought angrily as he hurried to the front gates.

Snape did not wait long before the Minister had shown up with his usually green bowler hat and pinstriped suit. He looks so stupid. Snape thought as he opened the gate allowing Fudge inside.
