London.

As Snape began to walk through the city of London, the air was fresh with the scent of impending rain. The boy looked around with curiosity, observing the non-magical world, or "Muggle," as wizards disdainfully called it. The buildings, with their architecture ranging from ancient to modern, the busy streets filled with cars buzzing like metallic insects, and people walking to their work, with their family, or making some purchases in the shops.

It didn't take long for Lucius to arrive; it was a large structure next to the bus station with some of the country's iconic buses parked alongside, waiting for their departure times. After looking around with a bit of curiosity, Snape finally enters the agency, approaching a young and pretty woman standing at one of the desks.

"Hello, what can I do for you, young man?" She asked with a smile.

"I want the travel catalog from tonight, can you give it to me?" Snape asks, keeping his calm for the woman.

"Sorry, but I will have to see your ID, we can't sell tickets to minors." She said, looking at him.

"Will this suffice?" Snape took out a Hogwarts crest he had in his bag, it worked to activate various services in the non-magical world without restrictions, and if Snape was right, some travel agencies might accept it.

The woman's eyes widened when she saw the symbol, and she quickly stood up. "Wait a moment, sir, I will talk to the manager." She said hurriedly as she left the area for a closed room.

Snape just sighed, but in less than 3 minutes, a middle-aged man came out with the woman, and he looked at Snape cautiously.

"Young Wizard, my employee told me you have the magical student crest, what can we do for you?" He spoke, still with a tone of caution, it seems it wasn't the first time he dealt with a wizard.

"I want all your available trips for today and, if possible, I would like accommodation for my destination, I have no preference, but I would like to see the catalog." Snape says, and the man quickly grabs a pamphlet and starts marking all the trips with time.

Snape takes the pamphlet and begins to look at the advertisements for the places, there was one traveling to the country's west coast that he ended up being interested in, "Can you get accommodation there? I need a cottage."

"Yes, young wizard, we can do that, I will register you for the trip and we will make the reservation while you travel, what is the payment method?" He asked with a sparkle in his eyes.

"It will be in wizarding money, do you accept that?"

"Certainly, young wizard, that is fantastic, I will finalize your registration, the bus will leave in 1 hour. Good luck!" He seemed excited as he left.

Snape sat in a corner, while the woman now looked at him cautiously with embarrassment, but Snape didn't care about her as he was still in his own world.

He ended up falling asleep, memories of gunfire, sounds of explosions, seeing guardians being killed in front of him, the betrayal of the heirs, this started to repeat in his mind like an avalanche.

With a surprising touch on his shoulder as he woke up from it, he quickly grabbed the hand that touched him and pulled it aside while drawing his wand and placing it on the person's neck as if it were a dagger, which he instinctively thought it would be.

He looked at the potential aggressor and saw the man who had attended him before, many people from the agency stopped to watch this, and the young woman from before was horrified with her hand over her mouth while the man looked pale.
