Snape was finishing his book when he felt the presence of a house-elf appearing in the Chamber of Secrets, outside Salazar's room.

Immediately, he ran to the door where Snape was reading some books under the gaze of Salazar's portrait.

"Master Snape! Master Snape!" Dobby shouted, breathless from the other side.

The portrait itself, with a command, opened the door as the elf emerged, with Salazar's painting merely watching in silence as the house-elf ran to Snape.

"A letter! It came urgently! It's urgent!" Dobby repeated, agitated, as he extended the envelope.

Snape narrowed his eyes when he saw it was from Steve Vujin. But he opened it and began to read.

'I know you are a bit cautious and hindered in your services right now, but there is something I must inform you. Something that is happening at this very moment...'

The letter continued. Snape's eyes widened in surprise as he read the contents, which confirmed Voldemort's attack in person with his group, against an entire city in the northwest of England.

"Damn..." he muttered.

He didn't think twice and decided to act, wondering why the Black family hadn't informed him about this. So he would have to leave, even in a rush.

It was then that the Phoenix reappeared above him, and in an instant, Snape vanished in black flames, leaving Dobby and a confused Salazar behind.

He reappeared in a corner of England. It was the closest place to where the attack was happening that his phoenix could reach. He was in the middle of a highway, with cars occasionally passing by, which made him frown.

He was at least 100 km from the city. Quickly, he began to see police cars passing with sirens, all heading in the same direction.

Snape quickly opened his system and increased a massive amount of points he had been accumulating with training and level-ups in the past week — all into speed, raising dozens of points at once.

"I'll have to run there," he murmured, as a cloak began to cover his body to conceal his identity.

At that moment, a distortion appeared in a corner where no one on the highway could see. He summoned Kargalgan, the Shadow of the Orc Shaman.

"Can you boost my physical stats a bit?" he asked.

The shadow responded quickly, casting its magic. A circle formed above Snape, granting him enhanced physical abilities. He felt his body immediately gain strength.

"This is good," he murmured, looking at the map, searching for the straightest possible path. He needed to avoid main roads, as the police, firefighters, and paramedics were already advancing full force after the city's emergency calls.

Snape then dissolved his shadow into the ground, which returned to his feet. He then leaned in that direction, while the ground itself began to tremble and crack with the pressure he was putting on it, before he shot forward in a magical burst, running directly into the forest beside the highway. His speed was so great that the wind split around him, creating a violent trail.

It didn't matter what was in front, he would simply go through it. This was also a way to avoid alerting the Ministry of Magic, which was surely monitoring the skies with their brooms.
