Summary: Post HBP. He tricked the Dark Lord, all of his followers, and all of the Order into thinking he was the most devoted Death Eater alive. But his plan went deeper than that. It was by far the biggest, most twisted, not to mention all together dangerous, scheme he had ever put into practice. Not slash.

Authors Notes: This story came to me after reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I really didn’t like the idea that Snape was a bad guy, as he’s my favourite character. So… I came up with this piece of insanity to explain how he really isn’t evil, and how Dumbledore’s murder was all part of a bigger plot to rid the world of Voldemort. If you can bear with my over active imagination I think you’ll find this fanfic enjoyable. I know that I’m enjoying writing it.
