The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Since inviting Lucius to the house for that dinner, Fudge has asked his assistants to arrange a tour of Azkaban prison.

To be honest, Fudge didn't like Azkaban Prison, and probably no wizard wanted to set foot on the island. Fudge would never go to that kind of hell if he could.

After receiving the news, Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, did not object to Fudge's inspection, nor would he object. To put it bluntly, Fudge was just taking a formality. Especially after Scrimgeour had heard some rumors and was amused by their minister's so-called reason for maintaining peace in the wizarding world, the political show seemed a bit late.

The infamous Azkaban prison in the magic world is located on a small island in the middle of the North Sea. It is covered by storms for many years, and the island is often submerged by waves. Only when the ships are very close can you see a towering tower. The fortress stood in the storm, and the light from the fortress was difficult to penetrate the rain screen and be detected by the outside world.

There are no living creatures other than prisoners, the employees of the Ministry of Magic cannot work in such a harsh environment, and no wizard will want to stay here.

Typically, only a few Aurors deal with Azkaban's jailers, escorting prisoners via Aurors before handing them over to Dementors.

As for visiting prisoners, Azkaban's prisons have no such claim.

Fudge's inspection was undoubtedly a great determination.

One night in a blizzard, a ship sailed in the wind and waves towards Azkaban prison in the North Sea.

There is a lot of space inside the ship. Fudge is standing in the cabin under the warm yellow light, standing absent-mindedly by the window, looking through the glass at the dark night outside and the turbulent wind and waves. Think about something.

In the seat behind Fudge, the two Aurors who were traveling with Fudge were sitting in armchairs drinking hot tea and reading newspapers to pass the boring time.

As for the question of driving, the ship will automatically head towards Azkaban Prison, the only way to Azkaban Prison.

Everyone knows that there is Azkaban Prison, and that this prison is located somewhere in Beihai, but since the location of the prison cannot be marked on the map, there are actually very few people who really know the exact location of the prison.

The ship sailed smoothly through the storm, approaching the fortress of Azkaban prison, parked in the port,

Fudge reached for his wizard hat and boarded the infamous prison.

on the pier,

The wind was blowing, and the torrential rain poured down, instantly drenching the three people who had just disembarked.

Fudge regretted that he didn't add a thick cloak when he came.

Suddenly there was a flash of lightning in the sky, and the dark night was instantly reflected into day. Above the fortress, a large number of dementors were monitoring the island.

The chill penetrated into the skin little by little, and Fudge couldn't help shivering. In order to maintain the image of the minister, the value was able to grit his teeth and support.

The three crossed the pier and came to the entrance of the fort.

The Auror named Delix came forward to deal with a dementor, and had some simple exchanges, indicating that the Minister of Magic was visiting Azkaban prison.

The Dementors didn't really care about this kind of thing. They could barely understand what the wizard meant. They opened the entrance to the fortress and took the three people to inspect Azkaban's prison.

Not many wizards are imprisoned in Azkaban Prison. Most of them have only committed some minor crimes and will be imprisoned here for a few months.

If they hadn't been tortured mad by the dementors, they would have been released. Most wizards who have been in Azkaban prison are afraid to make mistakes, afraid that they are locked in this terrible place. in prison.

In fact, this Azkaban prison is the place to maintain the authority of the Ministry of Magic, even if Fudge is reluctant to admit that most wizards are willing to live in peace because they are afraid of being locked in Azkaban prison and facing the evil of Dementors.

The longest-running group of residents here were the Death Eaters who murdered and committed countless heinous crimes when Mysterious Man gained power last time. There are actually not a few Death Eaters sentenced to life imprisonment.

However, to Fudge's dismay, the Death Eaters themselves are a group of extremely evil guys, and they are much less affected by dementors than ordinary wizards. After staying here for more than ten years, they still cannot completely eradicate their crimes. , thankfully they will still be affected by Dementors.

When Fudge inspected the prisoners, seeing them all sitting in the cells, muttering something to himself in the dark, it seemed that a lot of them had lost their minds.

There's nothing more comforting than a mad prisoner, at least they can no longer pose a threat to the wizarding world. Of course, it would be better if they could die quickly. This is probably the last contribution that group of people can make to the magic world.

When Fudge inspected the prisons one by one, he finally came to Black's cell.

Blake's situation shocked Fudge, who didn't look crazy like the other wizards locked up here, but "normal".

This is undoubtedly not good news, and the wish of the old man Lucius may be in vain.

"Connelly Fudge, why are you here?" Blake was also surprised that a wizard appeared in Azkaban prison. He hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. His voice was hoarse and very loud. slow.

"I'm here to inspect Azkaban Prison. This is the responsibility of the Minister of Magic." Fudge glanced at the two Auror guards beside him, and then at the two Dementors standing on either side of the cell, trying to cover up inner unease.

Those dementors didn't even have an effect on Black. You must know that every prisoner has a dementor standing at his door to guard.

"Minister of Magic?" Black seemed to be bored here, and said in a hoarse tone: "I didn't expect that there would be a Minister of Magic willing to come to such a ghost place, this place is absolutely boring. By the way, where have you read the newspaper? , I want to pass the boring time by doing the crossword puzzle in the newspaper, and the word-filling games in the Daily Prophet should not be cancelled!"

Fudge seemed to have been greatly insulted, and his pale face suddenly turned rosy. He didn't want to pay attention to Black at first, but before leaving, he finally asked the Auror beside him and asked Dawlish to put him in the bag. Bringing the "Daily Prophet" in his pocket to himself, and then handing it to Blake through the iron cabinet, it is considered to satisfy the other party's small wish.

"I was shocked that Black was not affected much." After Fudge left the prison, he turned to the two Aurors beside him and said, "It seems that it is necessary to come and inspect, and send more guards to keep an eye on Black, if there is any Whatever happens, you must report to me as soon as possible."

"I can understand your concern, I'm afraid only those very evil wizards can ignore the influence of Dementors." Dawlish was equally surprised to see that Black was not affected, and nodded to show that he understood Fudge's concerns, "I Just to get the jailers and staff to keep an eye on Black."

However, Fudge did not know that he was in trouble.

Something had changed after he handed the Daily Prophet to Blake, and the man in prison, preparing to do the crossword puzzle, had his eyes wide open and stared at the headline of the newspaper, which was The Weasley family's photo of the Galleon-winning family traveling to Egypt, while Blake's eyes are fixed on the mouse with a missing toe on a boy's shoulder in the photo.

"He's not dead, he's at Hogwarts, he's at Hogwarts!" Blake murmured softly, staring at the newspaper.

He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the prison entrance, with a bright light in his eyes, as if someone had lit a fire in Blake's eyes.

He knew he had to do something.
