Entire Known-Snake-Vanishing Spell

The Snake-Vanishing Spell (Vipera Evanesca) was a transfiguration spell that vanished snakes. As such, it could be used as a counter-spell for the Snake Summons Spell, the Fire To-Snake Spell, or likely any other spell that produced snakes.
==History==
Severus Snape cast this spell in 1992 at the Duelling Club to dispose of a snake that Draco Malfoy had conjured while duelling Harry Potter.

==Etymology==
 is a genus of venomous vipers, a type of snake. Evanesca likely shares its origin with Evanesco, which means "disappear" in Latin -- Evanesca would be the imperative form of the verb, making this incantation a command for the serpent to disappear, meaning "Viper, disappear".
==Behind the scenes==
*This spell appears to be related to the Vanishing Spell, given the similar effects and etymology.
*In the cobra burned away, leaving some ash, rather than disappearing in a cloud of black smoke, as it is portrayed in the novel.
*In the novel, Snape cast this spell non-verbally, while in the film adaption, he used the incantation aloud.
*It is unknown if used against Nagini, who was a Horcrux, she would vanish. However, given the near-indestructibility of Horcruxes, as well Nagini's proven resistance to Blasting Curses, the spell probably would have failed if used against her. It is also possible this spell only works on conjured snakes, as opposed to natural ones.
