Transmigration: Into the Life of Severus Snape

Severus Snape had always played by Hogwarts' rules.

That ended now.

For years, he had held back, forced to stay within the confines of expectations, both from the Slytherin House and the wider wizarding world. But if he wanted true freedom, if he wanted to rewrite his fate, then he had to plan.

And this time, he wouldn't just survive—he would thrive.

The Room of Requirement: A Hoard to Claim

Severus leaned against the cool stone wall of the Slytherin dormitory, his mind already racing.

The Room of Requirement was a treasure trove, and now that he had discovered its true potential, he couldn't just leave it be.

He had to take everything.

"By the end of the year, it will all be mine."

That was the deadline.

Once he finished his OWLs, he would have significantly more freedom. He wouldn't be tied to strict schedules, nor under constant teacher surveillance. It was the perfect opportunity to start making moves.

But there was a problem.

He was still a minor.

Emancipation: A Way to True Freedom

The wizarding world was still stuck in the past, governed by bloodlines, wealth, and status. Most young witches and wizards were bound to their families' wishes until they were legally considered adults at seventeen.

That would not work for him.

He had to be free before that.

If emancipation was possible, it would grant him:

✔ Complete control over his finances—no one, not even Hogwarts or the Ministry, could monitor his bank accounts.

✔ Legal autonomy—no one could force him into an apprenticeship or control his movements.

✔ Independence to travel and study beyond Hogwarts.

"Gringotts will have the answers."

He would visit the bank the moment summer began, open a private account, store all his gold, books, and artifacts, and request inheritance tests.

Who knew what rights he had hidden in his bloodline?

Self-Improvement: Strength and Transformation

Severus knew his greatest weakness wasn't his magic.

It was his body.

Years of poor nutrition, stress, and lack of proper care had left him thin, pale, and physically weak. His face was drawn, his skin sallow, his posture hunched—all traits that made him look more like a target than a threat.

That had to change.

But doing it during the school year would raise too many questions.

Instead, he would prepare everything now and undergo the transformation during summer.

The plan?

✔ Physical Enhancement Rituals – Ancient magic could enhance the body, improving strength, agility, and endurance. He already had books on ritual magic from the Room of Requirement.

✔ Potions for Physical Health – He would brew blood-replenishing potions, nutrient-rich tonics, and strengthening elixirs to correct years of malnutrition.

✔ Posture and Movement Training – No more slouching, no more defensive, withdrawn body language. He would train himself to command presence.

✔ Appearance Correction – Hair, teeth, skin—all fixable through potions and minor magical procedures.

It wouldn't be an overnight change, but by the time the next school year began, he would be unrecognizable.

No longer the shadow of Slytherin House.

No longer the boy they could push around.

Priority List: The Road to Mastery

Severus reached for a piece of parchment and began writing down his priorities.

1. The OWLs – No More Holding Back

Severus had spent years suppressing his full intelligence, hiding his true skill to avoid unwanted attention. That stops now.

For the OWLs, he would:

✔ Dominate every subject—Potions, Charms, Transfiguration, Runes, Dark Arts theory, Defense Against the Dark Arts.

✔ Prove himself as the top student, surpassing even the Marauders and Lily Evans.

✔ Secure favor with the professors who actually mattered—McGonagall, Flitwick, and even Slughorn.

Let Dumbledore watch.

Let the Marauders seethe.

It was time to show them who Severus Snape truly was.

2. Additional OWL Exams – Expand His Expertise

Why stop at standard OWLs?

The Ministry allowed students to take extra OWLs at the Ministry during the summer if they registered in advance. Most students didn't bother because it was too much work—but Severus was not most students.

He listed the extra exams he would register for:

✔ Muggle Studies – An easy win for a half-blood. Knowing both worlds gave him an advantage.

✔ Care of Magical Creatures – Years of self-study had given him knowledge most students lacked, especially in harvesting potion ingredients from magical creatures.

✔ Dueling – Taught secretly by Flitwick, this would validate his skill.

✔ Basic Healing – Thanks to Pomfrey's encouragement, he already knew more than the average healer-in-training.

✔ Languages – Proficiency in Latin, French, and Irish would add to his qualifications.

Once he aced these OWLs, he would be years ahead of his peers.

3. Gringotts – Securing His Future

His first stop after Hogwarts ended would be Gringotts.

The goblins valued privacy, wealth, and power—three things he intended to use.

His plans at the bank:

✔ Open a Private Vault – A vault only he could access, separate from any accounts Hogwarts or the Ministry could track.

✔ Deposit His Wealth – Store all the gold, rare books, and magical artifacts he had collected so far.

✔ Request an Inheritance Test – If there were hidden bloodline connections, this would reveal them. Who knew what magical legacies he might uncover?

✔ Ask About Emancipation – If there was a legal way to free himself from wizarding guardianship, he needed to know.

Once he had control over his own finances, he would be untouchable.

Severus Snape's New Path

The plan was set.

✔ He would conquer the OWLs and take additional subjects.

✔ He would secure his wealth and legal independence.

✔ He would undergo physical and magical enhancements to remake himself.

✔ He would clear the Room of Requirement's treasure before the year ended.

And then?

Then, he would change the wizarding world on his own terms.

The Marauders wouldn't know what hit them.

Dumbledore would no longer have a pawn to manipulate.

Lucius Malfoy and his pureblood associates would see him as a power in his own right, not a follower.

The next time someone looked at Severus Snape, they wouldn't see the bullied Slytherin.

They would see someone far more dangerous.

Someone in control.

The system chimed in his mind.

A slow smirk formed on Severus' lips.

"It begins now."
