| | |  More info on Snape trial at Accio
Accio 2005 the first UK HP conference is being held at Reading University from July 29th - July 31st.
We previously told you that one of the events taking place would be a mock trial featuring the Potions Master.
More information on that trial has now been released and can be read at the Accio website here.
The four charges he faces are as follows,
1. That the accused did, feloniously, treasonously and with malice aforethought, combine with others to support the most bloody, abominable and beastly cause of the notorious, prescribed and avowed traitor Thomas Marvolo Riddle, sometime called Lord Voldemort.
2. That the accused did, feloniously, treasonously and with malice aforethought, voluntarily accept membership within a prescribed and illegal organization, vulgarly termed "the Death Eaters".
3. That the accused, feloniously, treasonously and with malice aforethought, continues as a member in the said illegal organization.
4. That the accused has on divers occasions and under the guise of lawful chastisement committed assault and battery on minors in respect of whom he was in loco parentis, such assault and battery being occasioned by divers magical and physical means, and resulting in perceptible physical and psychological harm to the said minors.
To put forward an argument either for or against his case, please go to this page for contact details.
To read more about the Accio 2005 event as a whole, please go the Official Website.

| It's legal terminology. On the Accio site, they've simplified what each of those 4 points mean. Quote:
1. Basically, this means that the greasy git ganged up with You Know Who and his mates.
2. The slime ball joined the Death Eaters as well.
3. AND he never left!
4. Severus Snape is a great bullying git who picks on the children he's supposed to be taking care of.

Felon means a crime so feloniously must mean acting criminally. A felon can also be an outlaw. Treason is like plotting to kill the Queen or something so I guess this means he was probably a part of plotting the MoM/DD/Harry's demise when he was a DE. Malice basically means he's malicious and cold-hearted, or that his actions were. Aforethought is a posh term which I can't quite get my head around at this time of evening

Really wish I could sit in on that one!!! I just enjoyed reading the charges against him! If you look at it that way... I think he should be worried! The legal jargon was cracking me up!!
Better yet, imagine how the real Snape would react if someone handed him the list of charges... Now I'm really  ! This belongs in Zonko's under the "Ways to Annoy Snape" thread. Quote: |

| It means he had time to think about what he was doing before acting!

Snape is innocent! Or at least if he's guilty it somehow all comes back to the bullying he suffered at the hands of one James Potter and one Sirius Black. Snape is a victim of circumstance! | |

Well, I didn't get half the terms because I feel like being stupid today and not reading it carefully.... but he's innocent! Go Snape! I hope his lawyer is Billy Flynn!  | |
