Previously, Severus tried not to move too fast so that the little house elf had time to collect herbs along the way, but at the moment, nothing held him back, therefore, all the animals, near which Severus “flyed”, managed to see, was just a black shadow, and there was a couple of them who tried to chase him, but they lost sight of him in seconds.
As in the snake's memories, the closer Snape got to the centre of the jungle, the less traces of monsters he saw, but at the same ti...
The next half hour after returning from the treasury, Snape, under the vigilant supervision of the King of Snakes, devoted himself to studying the crystal in order to accurately confirm his guesses about the sealed “something” in the center of the forest, but to his disappointment, among the huge number of plexuses of runes on the surface of the artifact, he managed to see two lines from it: one led towards the barrier, and the second, almost five times thicker than the first and co...

Of course, in addition to illusions, traps with signal spells were also placed along the entire path, which Severus easily discovered, because it was definitely not some master who placed them, and in some formulas there were simply fundamental errors due to which the...
At the sight of the approaching beam, which, with a direct hit, could easily destroy his barrier and leave serious wounds, Severus did not even move and only calmly watched how with every moment, the beam came closer and closer, but at the last moment the beam, abruptly changed direction and flew into the wall, breaking through it.
"Why didn't you dodge?" the half-serpent-half-dragon asked, grinning, looming over the wizard.
“Why should I do this when your ...
After more than an hour, Severus left the territory of chimeras and passed the Illusion Forest, which was also circled in blue on the map and then he finally reached the territory of half-snakes, half-dragons.
The first half of the jungle, except for the huge number of snakes, almost did not differ from the usual one, but further on, the wizard began to notice an increasing number of holes in the ground of various sizes, and closer to the center, small hills appeared with...
[Amazon jungle.]
A huge, four-legged, red-haired figure, with a snake's tail, and also a lush, but slightly burnt scarlet mane, was moving through the dense thicket of the forest.
A man in a robe sat on the creature's head between two blue horns, calmly observing the surroundings and stroking a small creature that looked very much like a giant.
“They grow in this place… ” the beast drawled dejectedly, looking forward, straight towards the t...
Severus thoughtfully watched the four-metre creature, with the body of a gorilla, the head of a tiger and bear paws, which was currently eating another animal, and this was not the first perversion of magic encountered by Severus.
It seemed to Snape that the territory of the chimaeras was a kind of training ground, where magic ran as crazy as one could, creating monsters so contradictory that it was a wonder how some could even live and survive.
But this ...
After slowly reading the agreement received from Oliver’s hands, Severus had to admit that it was drawn up very competently, almost completely making it impossible to transfer the map to third parties, and even with his death and capture, there were separate points for this.
"Not bad, then I'll duplicate it," pulling out several sheets of A4, he copied the contents of the parchment into them and handed it to the man, "Your signatures are needed here, in blood, all thr...
[An hour later.]
Lying on the bed, Severus looked rather thoughtful, he was rather surprised by the snake’s story, although he embellished it “a little”, but it was not difficult to separate truth from fiction, especially when Severus could easily read the Snake's superficial thoughts by looking straight into its eyes.
The story was quite entertaining, because the Snake was born not in the outer part of the magical jungle, but in the forbidden, but as a cub, ...
In a completely white room, there were three huge cages, in which there were monsters previously caught by Severus, and not far from them, a huge snake tied to a pole with a “bow”, which could only hiss in the direction of magical creatures, while wondering what was happening and where it was.
The tiger and the rest, seeing this huge creature for the first time, experienced a real shock, thinking that they were going to be fed to it, but then, looking closer and noticing in wha...
An hour after Severus patched up the monsters and they were no longer in danger of death, they continued on their way towards the second “safe zone”. But, of course, he was in no hurry to let them out of the cages for Nellie's safety, otherwise they could attack her, which would not be very good. In addition, the wizard also dug into their heads, first depriving them of consciousness so that it would be easier to do this, but to his disappointment, what he was looking for was not there, a...
2023-07-02 16:15:04 +0000 UTC View PostFor the next half an hour, sitting comfortably on the top of a tree, supporting himself with the help of wind magic, Severus watched the battle of the titans of the inner part of the "Magic Jungle".
Several times, he was almost hit by stone and wood and he would've fallen over if he had not put up a barrier in advance.
But still, the battle looked a little strange: the tiger tried to tear apart the black hound or fry it with lightning, the bear tried to...
The very next morning they left the hotel, immediately heading towards the gate, behind which was the interior of the "Magic Jungle".
As Severus expected, the walk around the town was more relaxed than last time, because as soon as the others saw the sticker on his cape, they immediately lost all interest, and there were not so many people at such an early time of the day, although Snape still expected some set-ups from the rest of the factions, but everything was too calm.
The encounter with the bandits was not something unexpected, as Brew(the writer) and Patricia had warned him to be on the lookout near the barrier, as murder and robbery were commonplace in this place.
“Boy, leave everything you have and you can go away,” said an obese man, standing two metres tall, the rest of the bandits were holding their wands and looking at him(Severus) with smirks, while they looked rather relaxed, which said about how they didn't take the "young ma...
Finally, having scanned the “garden” again, the young man could not find anything, so he had to leave this place empty-handed, but still he was pleased with his large catch, because in addition to the herbs that they would have enough for the next two or three years , they were also able to find fruits with two stripes, but what was the most excellent find was, of course, a snake evolving into a dragon.
Although Snape did not want to kill the monster, such a “transforma...
Surprising as it was, the path turned out to be much longer than he thought, and if not for the acceleration with the help of wind magic and leather armour, they would have only arrived at the gorge in the evening.
Finally, after an hour and a half, they saw a light ahead, much brighter than the artificial light coming from the crystals near the water sources. Severus did not immediately relax and rejoice, but quickly covered himself with another barrier, because it is not known wh...
As soon as the sword was sheathed, after a few seconds, a painful hissing echoed through the jungle. The river nearby began to turn red due to the bloody rain from the wounds of the serpent, which previously proudly looked down on Severus, and now wriggled on the ground with a scream, destroying everything around it and irrigating the ground with blood.
"Satisfied?" the indifferent voice of the Snape sounded, which, amid the loud hiss of the monster, and it was almost impossi...
Leaning against a tree, Severus frowningly watched the wolves that one by one entered a small tent with an invisible expansion charm, which he had been preparing for this trip from the very beginning.
But then he had changed his mind about using it, considering outdoor recreation by the fire being a more enjoyable pastime than just living in a tent. Finally, a tired sigh escaped his lips. "What's happened?"
“I… I cease to understand you, if you wanted to su...
A group of Treants, led by a fifteen-metre tree monster, finally reached a completely empty clearing, in the centre of which stood a huge, lush tree spread over the entire open area.
And as soon as they crossed the "line", then two green lights lit up on the top of the trunk. Severus himself was not particularly worried and quite calmly met the eyes of the Treant King.
After all, these creatures were not aggressive, but on the contrary, they tried not to get ...
Until almost midnight, Severus asked them questions about the jungle, the little information he had previously received from the writer was a little outdated.
Some types of monsters have changed their habitats and habits in half a year, for example, it was a discovery for him that tree monsters, very reminiscent of treants, whom he was supposed to meet along the way, moved south, directly into the territory of their nemesis, the wolves.
After all, Snape had deliber...
In the dead of night, a group of five wizards, among whom were three men and two women, with panic on their faces, ran through the dense jungle.
"Damn it! How could they find us there?" one of them exclaimed angrily, clenching his fists tightly, not daring to turn around, because the “road” was already very difficult, one awkward movement, and one could easily get tangled in a vine or stumble over some ledge or branch.
"Shut up, cretin! Don't attract more monst...
There was a bright sun in the sky almost without a single cloud, but due to the huge amount of vegetation it was almost impossible to see it.
And in a small clearing, which did not seem to be affected by the general mood of the jungle, three wizards appeared. “This is one of the entrances, and if you go in a straight line, you can definitely stumble upon that flower.” Lifting his green hat slightly, the man stared nostalgically at the impenetrable thickets ahead.
A few minutes later, five wizards in green suits climbed out into the open area, led by a man in glasses, in his hand was a jar with the same worm that Severus had recently pulled out of the body of a dark wizard.
“He must be around here somewhere, be careful, this coward loves to attack stealthily, watch the shadows,” he ordered frowningly examining the surroundings, looking up at a small hill, and then he looked at the worm, which became much more violently beating ...
Severus did not enter the cave, but only installed anti-apparition charms and a barrier around it so that the “Master” who climbed inside could not escape, and then he sat on a stone and simply decided to wait until everything was brought to him on a silver platter, because from the memory of Vitor, Snape learned that there was only one entrance and exit, and he still felt the magical source in the cave, so he was not particularly worried.
Thus, the young man sat for abou...
At the same time, Severus finally reached a rather richly furnished three-story mansion, with two marble statues at the stairs leading to the front doors, and almost a dozen guards patrolling the perimeter, some of which stood directly at the entrance, flanked by double-winged, steel doors adorned with gold patterns and precious stones
. “Not bad, there are twelve outside, and ninety more people inside, apparently the local boss values his life very much ... hmm ... There a...
A man stood in front of the group, but in a much neater outfit, but at the same time not much different from those in which his colleagues were dressed.
His face was more "refined", without scars, but with a goatee and a thin moustache. If someone had met such a person on the street, they would not have ever thought that this guy was a bandit.
“Glad to welcome foreign colleagues to Dark Alley,” he said with a graceful bow and a fake smile as he looked at ...
"Still, Muggles are amazing!" Severus couldn’t help but sigh in admiration as he read the book “How an Airplane Works and How It Flies” that the stewardess gave him.
“Everything is so simple and logical, but how much sweat and blood was invested to get to this point” - finally closing it, he put the book on his knees and looked at Nagini calmly sleeping next to him. "But I still have to agree with her, it's a little boring here," Snape lowered the back of his ...
[London. Heathrow .]
Sitting in his chair, Severus looked with interest at the huge board, where flights were written, as well as the departure times of Muggle planes, on which he had wanted to fly for a long time, even when he had first read about them in one book.
The young man could not contain his curiosity, he was very interested in how ordinary people can lift two hundred tons into the sky without magic. Although he read about it, he understood ...
" ... Therefore, I think that this subject should be included in the school curriculum. I have said everything, thank you for your attention, I hope you make the right decision,” Severus finished calmly, looking at the silent listeners, and then, looking at the three old people, he nodded and returned to his place.
After Severus, the previous speaker returned to the “stage”. “We thank Mr. Prince for such an interesting speech,” the man looked in his direction with a...
[Ministry of Magic.]
In a large, rather gloomy room, reminiscent of an amphitheatre in its shape, in the centre there was a straight platform with a small wooden pedestal, and around it rows of seats rose in steps, which the wizards slowly occupied.
Most of them were elderly Wizards, dressed in loose robes, and among them one could also notice younger employees of the ministry and other people, at least somehow related to this department. But besides them, there we...
