June 1993.

Harry ended his second year at Hogwarts.

......

An island shrouded in darkness all year round.

The surrounding sea is pitch black.

This is Azkaban, the prison that terrifies all the wicked in the wizarding world.

It houses the most murderous dark wizards.

No one wants to be locked up here, and even a murderous wizard who knows that he has been sentenced to be imprisoned in this prison will regret his tearful plea not to do so.

The prison was all guarded by Dementors, and no human felt comfortable working with Dementors.

Due to the dementors' dark, damp habits, the island has been deliberately enchanted and the sun is never seen all year round.

Naturally, the prisoners inside don't need to be said.

However, it is believed that no prisoner cares about whether or not they can see the warm sun, because more than half of the prisoners have gone crazy.

Dementors absorb the good things in a person's mind, leaving nothing but pain and despair.

Inside the prison, the Dementor slowly floated through the passage with a dark shadow, and if it sensed that anyone still had good memories in their memories, it would stand in front of the iron door and suck it gently. The prisoners inside will fall into the cold, not only on the physical senses, but also on the soul level.

In one cell, a large, emaciated black dog huddled in the far corner.

Although it was scrawny, no one who saw him would wonder how huge the big black dog would be if it was in a normal state.

The Dementors roamed the place, and it was a little puzzled, because the feelings in it were strange, not very human-like, and not too complicated.

Perhaps this is a madman who is about to lose all his mind, and the Dementors move on.

Dementors do not have eyes, and they rely on human emotions to get close to humans, such as fear, excitement, excitement, and ......

This is one of the things that the mage who turned into a big black dog has discovered over the years - if he turns into a dog, the Dementors will ignore him, and the Dementors are very insensitive to animal emotions.

The big black dog clutched a newspaper in his hand.

The newspaper was snatched from Fudge's hand.

Today, Minister of Magic Fudge came to inspect the prison, and he sneered at the big black dog, saying that Voldemort's time was over, and Harry Potter, whom he had always wanted to kill, was growing up healthy and about to enter his third year.

Then the wizard, who could turn into a big black dog, suddenly reached out of the iron fence like crazy and snatched a newspaper from Fudge's hand.

Fudge is startled, thinking that he is going to be attacked by the vicious prisoners inside, but realizes that his target is only the newspaper. I can't help but be annoyed by my timidity.

"Ho!" Fudge spat out phlegm on the haggard prisoner's hair, "what a madman." Then he left unhappy.

There was nothing out of the ordinary about that newspaper.

It's just that the first version says that one of the lucky ones, a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, won a certain prize, and the prize was five hundred gold Galleons. Then the family used the money to go to Egypt during the summer vacation.

The cover is a photo of the family standing on the golden pyramid money, happily waving to the camera.

The family is all conspicuously red-haired.

One of the youngest boys had an old fluffy mouse lying on his hand.

The article also mentions that the boy is a classmate of Harry Potter, and that he will soon return to Hogwarts to start school.

The big black dog clung to the photo fiercely, and his eyes were fierce.

"Wormtail, Peter!"

"So you're not dead!" the voice was faint, like a vengeance from hell.

The big black dog hasn't gone crazy for so many years, because he knows that he has been wronged, and this kind of thought will never make people happy, so the Dementors can't suck it away.

It's this stimulation that keeps him sane, allows him to remember who he is, and allows him to retain some of his magic.

Because of a mistake back then, Big Black Dog thinks it was caused by him, and he lost his best friend. So he chose to be locked up in Azkaban, and in the wizarding court, he did not argue, this was his punishment for himself.

But now, only he knows that the real murderer is still alive in the world, and he must go to Hogwarts.

......

A few days later.

The big black dog, which had been devastated, became even thinner.

"Bang!" the prison door opened.

The Dementors brought in food and placed it in front of the iron fences.

The wizard who could turn into a big black dog turned into a dog again, he was so thin and thin that he could even get through the cracks in the iron fence.

So he slipped out of the prison where he had been held for eleven years and crossed shoulders with the Dementors.

The Dementor who was handing out food suddenly turned his head and stared at the big black dog.

The big black dog clung to the ground, and the dog's hair stood on end.

Clearly, the Dementors were confused.

It treats the big black dog as a small mouse-like animal, and only glances at the big black dog, and then ignores it.

The big black dog escapes from the prison gates.

He looked at the sky covered by dark clouds and felt relaxed, this was the breath of freedom.

The Great Black Dog didn't immediately regain its human form, because with the dementor's acuity, he would have immediately sensed that someone had escaped.

He was very weak and weak now, and he didn't have a wand, so he couldn't resist the Dementors.

The sky above this island is full of Dementors.

The big black dog was thankful that there were only Dementors on these islands, and if there was a wizard to guard it, he would not have found a loophole to escape.

Now the big black dog is running away on the island, and the Dementors in the sky are unaware, still roaming as before.

"Poof!"

The big black dog fled to the edge of the island and jumped into the icy waters.

He kept himself on the dog's body and swam, he was already hungry, and he didn't eat for days to get through the iron fence.

It still takes a lot of physical strength now, but hatred and thoughts of revenge have always motivated him.

Eventually, he swam onto land.

He wanted to go north...... It was the direction of Hogwarts, where he was to wait for Peter's arrival.

Before that, though, he wanted to see the kid first, secretly.

He wasn't ready to tell the kid about his parents right away, because the kid must have thought he was the murderer of his parents.

To explain something to him, at least catch Peter the Wormtail yourself.

However, with Dumbledore's personality, he should have concealed his identity as his godfather from the child.

After all, the murderer is a fanatical believer of Voldemort and the most trusted friend of his parents, but he stabbed him in the back, which brings a completely different kind of pain.

With thoughts of guilt and self-blame, he began to live a life of living on the streets.
