HEMM: Severus Snape

(A chance to question myself - although I do that all the time lol)

Following on from the last question - can anyone verify your whereabouts?

For the fourth time, Ginny saw TARA asking a suspect questions while she was. She tut tutted Snape.

"Ah, but don't you want to clear yourself? The first person at a crime scene is always the first suspect Professor Snape. Answer truthfully-if you've got nothing to hide-and we will make sure everyone knows that you are not responsible."

Ginny noted how Snape as well as Dumbledore was on important business.

"Was Dumbledore with you perchance? A simple yes or no will suffice." Her eyes caught the sleeve of the cloak. "Since when is perfect condition a tear in your sleeve?" Ginny pointed it out. "I'm sorry professor, we're going to need this."

::Jennifer joined the questioning, although she was a bit timid as Snape still scared her.::

"Professor? May I ask? You were the first on the scene of the murder and saw a few objects, including a scrap of paper. Can you tell us if there was anything written on the paper or whether you still have it with you?"

:Life jumped into the questioning with a follow up to Jen's question:

"did you by anychance recognize the hand writting, if there was any, on the parchment found by the dead woman's body?

What was your relationship with the dead woman? Lovers perhaps? destend to be found out...maybe you wanted her out of the way???? hmmm? didn't want to be known as He-Who-Dated-A-Seer? Where you Seerist? Did you have something against Seers?"

:Life restrained herself before she got carried away with unfounded accusations.:

Professor Snape, I have heard that you are an accomplished Occlumens. Are you, by any chance, a master at Legilimency as well?

And also,

What grade did you get in your Herbology OWL?

And finally,

Do you drink wine often?

"Thank you Professor." Ginny began comparing a copy of the rip to a cloak. "Did you see anyone on your way before you found Trelawney's body?"

"AH! Snapeypoo! How loevly to see you again, its been a long time since your trial for being a Death Eater, which we all know is true. Now, quick question, did you kill Trewlaney for fun or because she were concerned she might inform the world that it was she who had made the prophecy concerning young Mr Potter, or even maybe, did you kill her because Voldielocks ordered it? You have killed for him before havent you? I thought as much, now, one last thing, would you use Devils Snare in a potion if you were wanting to possess someone?" Etta asked hurridely, her eyes staring into his.

one last question please...are your relationships with any of your colleagues beyond the boundaries of that of simply colleagues? If so, with whom?

"Aww poor Snapeypoo, it must be hard for you, being a former Death Eater, a spy, risking your life for a boy who you hate." Etta grinned as she pushed SNpae down into a seat. :Now, you are going to sit there and answer every single question which we have for you, unless of course you wish to join your friedns in Azkaban. Let me think for a moment. Were you out gatheinrg information, spying, for Dumbledore?"
