Third Person POV
Prince Mansion.
...
...
The newspapers began publishing several articles the next day, emphasizing that Severus had summoned the army of shadows to deal with the problems at Hogwarts.
Even in the midst of all the confusion, there were several reporters who arrived along with the aurors. Certainly, the idea of Hogwarts being attacked by monsters coming out of a painting caught everyone's attention that night, as had been declared.
And also the news that Severus Prince arrived at Hogwarts fighting against monsters multiplied the attention everyone would give to this event, even without knowing that the entire magical world was in danger due to the massive number of ants.
Some managed to take images both from the front of the castle, of some monsters... and also of Severus Prince's shadows, which appeared from time to time, even those that were protecting the students and remained with them.
Some of the more courageous, hoping to shine in their articles, even approached the shadows and asked questions, but what they received was only silence and strange looks from the ice elf and the centaur.
They also highlighted the fact that Severus ended up summoning a shadow in front of everyone, creating it from a dead ant, showing his feared powers, while some distant photos were being taken. At the same time, it was reported that the shadow spoke the human language.
It even surprised the summoner himself, and his words were published in the article after Severus questioned it about its death and about him being responsible for causing it. But the shadow replied that it was happy, that it had been reborn.
It can be said that the magical world was completely turned upside down the next day. Some changed their opinion about Severus, while others highlighted his sinister power of controlling the dead, which should not be glorified as it was being, with Severus being declared a hero. However, they could not deny that he fought against monsters that, had they escaped Hogwarts, would have destroyed the entire magical world after an investigation, and seeing tens of thousands of dead ants was terrifying.
Even those who were horrified by Severus's abilities had to acknowledge this.
Severus spent the last few days at home, ignoring the crowd of reporters in front of the Prince Manor gates. With aurors carrying invitations from the Ministry, he had isolated himself from everything and began to train alone, refusing interviews and dinners. Even the 2 Order of Merlin First Class medals and one Second Class medal that the Ministry decided to award him for his service against the Dark Lord and the monsters of Hogwarts.
The only contact he had during those days was with his fiancées, who were also present at the manor, with Clarisse and Pandora having no classes due to the temporary closure of Hogwarts for a week after the incident. They spent the days at the manor, sleeping there as well, after their parents authorized it. Bellatrix and Rosaria were practically already part of the household.
However, he had also said that he needed to train and ended up not giving them much attention while he used the basement, which he had turned into a training field to improve his abilities and spells, greatly enhancing his magical side.
He even had Beru fight him as a form of physical training, since he was preparing for the portal that would open in a few days.
On the same day the portal would open, he also began receiving reports about his companies, as one of the largest investors they had. One of them drew much more attention than any other company: the United States space agency, NASA, had concealed information about an event involving a comet entering the Solar System. It was about to collide with Earth at a speed no other celestial body should have.
Severus was enraged. How did those suit-wearing fools dare conceal information that could cause the end of the world!? And what did they do? They simply hid it while trying to create advantages for themselves, hiding the information from the entire world and creating bunkers to hide from the end of everything.
Still, strangely, the meteor had changed its course and left Earth's trajectory. Instead of heading toward Earth, it collided with Mars, and it did not destroy the planet as it should have, considering its size and velocity.
Severus narrowed his eyes at this information. He wanted to go to the United States immediately, and that was exactly what he did.
Without any warning, he simply said he needed to leave to his girls and to his great-uncle. He teleported directly to the United States using the portal key.
He went straight to NASA headquarters, using his invisibility ability to bypass all of the location's defense systems. After passing all the guards and entering the main room, two of the agency's top administrators were in a meeting.
While they were there talking about random matters, Severus was already there, seated, until he allowed himself to become visible, startling them — how he had appeared there, in such a protected place, no one could explain, while the two of them jumped from their chairs upon seeing him for the first time.
Somehow, that man had entered there. And before one of them could move a hand toward the button under the table to call security, he suddenly felt his entire body go rigid, unable to move even 1 cm beyond his face. His eyes widened, and his companion was in the same state.
"I doubt you can call for help. It would be useless anyway; so let's avoid me destroying part of this base," Severus said in a cold tone.
"Who are you? What do you want?" one of the executives murmured.
"Simple: you were omitting information from the monthly reports for your sponsors. And I am one of the investors who has been putting more money into stellar research than anyone else, for quite some time," Severus replied. "The name is Severus Prince. Remember?"
The men widened their eyes, unable not to know who Severus Snape would be.
Now, before Severus Prince — he was a very wealthy man, but they could now see that he was also surprisingly young, and clearly out of the ordinary — they felt stunned: how had someone managed to get in there and, somehow, magically prevent them from moving. They didn't even know about the magical world.
"Good, I want three things from you. From now on, I will continue donating money; if you do not heed my next words, I will cut all funding. First, I want to know all the details of the reports you delivered to us about the ice comet: I want to know everything. And I want you to point your telescopes and satellites at Mars and take photos. I need to know exactly what landed there and what that ice on Mars is. Second, you will no longer omit information about any catastrophe that is coming to this world. Otherwise, even if you hide in bunkers, I will make you pay," Severus declared.
"Third, I want results on the space rockets I asked you to research. I'm assembling a special engine with a chip I created myself; perhaps this is the key to start building ships — I will send it to you," he continued.
The men seemed little perturbed at first glance, although they were internally alarmed. In the technological era of this world, there was nothing like what Severus could build, and as a guardian he had already piloted various ships and dealt with engines, for he naturally had an affinity for mechanics and advanced technology.
The men only nodded, cautious.
"I'll be watching you very closely from now on. I also want another piece of information separately: I need you to hand over everything to me about the strange red sky in Japan. I need satellite images, temperature maps, and any filters you have, even images with dimensional filters. With that, we're done here."
When Severus finished, his figure began to become invisible before the stunned men, who heard him disappear. Gradually, they finally began to release whatever had been holding their bodies. One of them gasped immediately, his heart pounding with fear, while they looked at each other with the question in their eyes:
"What was that? What happened here?"
Meanwhile, a few kilometers from NASA, Severus appeared in the middle of a desert, with a highway right in front of him. He took a galleon coin from his pocket and simply threw it into the middle of the road. With a quick movement of his finger, without a wand, the coin began to spin, distorting space. Before it could begin to expand rapidly, suddenly a Lamborghini Countach LP400 materialized, slamming onto the asphalt.
Severus took out another coin and created glasses by transfiguration as he had done with the car before him. Not bothering to fasten his seatbelt, he got in and started the car; the roar echoed across the desert, and he sat there, alone, enjoying what he heard.
This was the result of his transfiguration work over the past few days. He had not only managed to increase the mass and density of the coin, but also to create a series of components. The car was not just decoration: it was clearly functional, with real engineering. Severus could create everything, focusing on the smallest details — from the tires, the wheel rims, the body, the seats and the dashboard, to, especially, the engine, a set of parts he had to study well before applying transfiguration and replicating it perfectly.
That was one of the cars in the collection he kept at the mansion. Having studied with a few contacts and invested heavily in bribes, he had obtained the engine and body blueprints of several manufacturers and studied them. In two days, he had already produced a car identical to the one there.
Satisfied with the level of transfiguration control he currently had, Severus pressed the accelerator. The car skidded before shooting forward with force. He began removing the roof using transfiguration as well, turning it into a more sporty style, and continued through the desert, feeling the wind and observing the scenery through his glasses.
He was not returning to England, but rather heading to the west of the United States. His destination was Japan, but he also wanted to enjoy his small trip along the way — he liked speed. It wasn't as fast as a ship, but muggles certainly had their own way of having fun.
Severus continued accelerating, advancing through the desert until he reached the slope where the road passed along a mountain. Severus found a steep section and simply pressed his foot down on the accelerator until he left the road and began falling in freefall from that small mountain.
What happened next was Severus, once again, moving his finger as if using a wand. Quickly, the car began to transform. In the center of the transfiguration, where Severus sat, it turned into a cockpit, and the steering wheel transformed into a control stick, and the car itself expanded even more and turned into a jet before its engines ignited, without exploding into flames at the rear.
The jet shot into the sky the next moment.
Severus, satisfied, continued heading west and applied his concealment ability to the jet, rendering it invisible and off the radars. He had made modifications beyond conventional ones, since any common model could be detected by the radars of the United States and other countries; the jet Severus was using had no radar signature and, with invisibility, no one could see it. He climbed to a safe altitude and continued out of the U.S., heading west. The next stop would be Japan: he wanted to see that portal personally.
At the same time, he checked the system: in eight hours the portal would open. Whatever the system had kept for him inside that dungeon, it seemed to be very important, since it had waited for him to reach a very high level — he was now at level 200 — and Severus did not think it would be much of a problem to enter that portal.
