Summary: AU of Deathly Hallows. Severus Snape didn't die in the Shrieking Shack, and is on trial as a Death Eater. With Albus Dumbledore dead, it falls to Harry Potter to aid in proving his innocence. Of course, things are never that simple, and there's another small problem that Harry has to take care of.

Story Notes:
A few people besides Snape who died in Deathly Hallows may pop up here and there as being alive, so this should definitely be considered AU.
While there are warnings for Abusive Dursleys, Violence, Torture, Rape, Neglect and Profanity; they will not occur in a very graphic sense. That said, the story will incorporate the trails of Death Eaters, so various crimes may be alluded to and described, or possibly shown in a flashback sequence, and the same applies to mentions of Neglect or Abusive Dursleys.

The Prologue is shorter than most chapters will be; this is mostly just to set the stage. Don't panic!

This is far as I've written so far. After this, I'm pretty much as in the dark as you are, guys. Wheee!
3. Chapter 2 by Lasseg [Reviews - 6] (1561 words)
Thanks to Jan for fixing the coding for the letter!
Also, while Snape hasn't made an actual appearance yet, he should show up in the next chapter.
Things in italics are thoughts.
4. Chapter 3 by Lasseg [Reviews - 8] (1180 words)
Hopefully, I've kept everyone in character. I can't see Harry and Snape being incredibly friendly to each other as yet, regardless of the circumstances, so their mutual dislike should still be apparent, though Harry has obviously gotten better at not flying off the handle.
5. Chapter 4 by Lasseg [Reviews - 9] (811 words)
As some of you have been wondering what happened to others in the HP world, here is the first chapter where some of them show up.
Of course, Harry isn't living in a bubble, even if he is a teensy bit reclusive.
