Chapter 138: Prisoner of Azkaban

The next day, Severus traveled to Azkaban after receiving the pass from the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, he actually wanted to wait two more days, after all, it was just Christmas yesterday, and today he has to open Christmas presents and write some letters in reply.

Although Severus is very popular at Hogwarts or in the wizarding world as a whole, there are still quite a few people who give him Christmas presents.

It's like the woollen socks that Dumbledore sent,

Severus once suspected that Dumbledore's gifts to others were woolen socks!

In the West, woolen socks are the most common Christmas gifts, just like the moon cakes sent in the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, which are ordinary and not obtrusive.

And wool socks have a family metaphor in the West, so Dumbledore can be said to have a honey obsession with wool socks!

Severus gave Dumbledore was much better than wool socks, which were Severest's toothache potions, which were designed to treat Dumbledore's toothache caused by eating a lot of sweets.

However, Severus added a little bit of ingredients to it, which made the flavor of the potion very bitter, similar to Coptis chinensis.

You can't sympathize with this old man, and you should make him suffer more.

No, Severus was ready to make Dumbledore suffer.

But it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see Dumbledore drink it himself, what a pity!

Because when Severus got the pass, he found out that the so-called pass actually has another function, which is to act as a portkey.

The use of the portkey requires an application and has a specific time limit, which means that Dumbledore did not give Severus any vacation at all!

This damn old bee!

Next time, you should give him Coptis chinensis directly, and Coptis chinensis also has the effect of clearing heat and removing fire to treat toothache.

At noon, Severus took the portkey to an island in the north of Scotland.

Due to the weather, the entire island is covered in snow and ice, and it is not easy to find the staff of the Ministry of Magic on the island.

Of course, there isn't a single Dementor on the island.

It's just a transit place, and wizards who want to go to Azkaban have to change to a broomstick here, and it's also used to symbolically check their documents.

Azkaban is located in the North Sea, the northern waters of Great Britain, probably in the Norwegian waters close to the Arctic Ocean.

The thought of flying so far on a broomstick made Severus want to kill Dumbledore.

It's winter, even though the ocean is hotter and not as cold as Norway is due to the Atlantic circulation.

But looking at the vehicle in hand, a broom, it is very difficult to keep warm and windproof when riding a broom.

In addition, Severus often wears a uniform and a cape, and he is not in the habit of wearing a down jacket.

And the thought of Severus wearing a down jacket always feels super scary!

No wonder Dumbledore would say that Severus was strong enough, originally Severus thought it was to deal with the Dementors, but now he knew that if he was weaker, he might freeze to death halfway.

In other words, Dumbledore didn't investigate or take care of any magic box at all, he simply didn't want to be frozen.

As for apparition or anything, don't even think about it, as a prison, anti-apparition is basic.

And at this time, Severus is most envious of Dumbledore's phoenix, although I don't know if the teleportation of the phoenix can be used, but at least the flight of the phoenix is still very reliable, and it has its own heat source, so don't worry about any cold.

After cursing Dumbledore many times, Severus finally saw an island in the distance.

This must be Azkaban.

It's easy to recognize, the water around is almost black, except for a stone fortress in the center standing alone, and a few Dementors flying out from time to time.

On top of that, the sky here seems to be black all the time, and the black clouds are spinning overhead like a whirlpool, and they can't break free.

It's an island full of malice.

From afar, Severus sensed the malice of the entire island: killing, tyrannical, greedy......

It's as if any human evil can be found here.

And the closer you get here, the more obvious it becomes.

As Severus approached, a dozen Dementors flew out of the towering fortress on the island, and they surrounded Severus, as if to express something.

Severus just took out the pass for the Ministry of Magic, and then continued to walk forward, as for seeing the Dementors who were still blocking the pass, then don't blame Severus for being polite.

However, it was clear that although the group of Dementors did not have much sanity, they still had a simple discernment, and they retreated with great interest.

It is probably because of this that the Ministry of Magic has given the illusion of "controlling" the Dementors.

How could such a creature be controlled by the Ministry of Magic!

And based on the behavior patterns of the Dementors, it is clear that there should be a sane leader among them.

After entering the island, the coldness and malice became more obvious, and at the same time there were some other wills.

Although there is no ice or snow on the island, the temperature is much cooler than outside, and every wall of the fortress seems to be filled with all kinds of negative emotions such as despair, pain, wailing, and then soul magic.

Even the air was filled with a huge amount of soul magic, let alone the buildings and walls.

I'm afraid that a brick on this island can play a role in the lure of Eris' box.

It's really a scary island.

Severus saw a lot of Dementors sucking at the walls along the way, and the condensed souls of the buildings alone were enough to feed thousands of Dementors.

It seems that Severus's understanding of Azkaban is a little too one-sided.

Wizards who hadn't been to Azkaban had a hard time imagining what the island was all about.

This is probably the first nest of Nighod: located to the north of the black dragon colony, and Nidhogg is a black dragon.

And then there's the strong black magic and the strong negative will here, and it takes as many creatures as you kill and torture here to accumulate to such an extent.

So, all Severus could think of was that there was a very evil creature that once lived here, so it was tainted with its will.

Then, after experiencing dark wizards and Dementors, the Ministry of Magic discovered this place, because there were too many Dementors here, and they were afraid that Dementors would leave here and come to the mainland, so they signed a contract with Dementors and used this place as a prison.

To put it bluntly, even the Ministry of Magic doesn't know much about this place.

Severus soon saw one cell after another, needless to say, the filthy and foul smell in the cells, the key was that there were very few wizards in the cells who were normal.

They're all like psychopaths, either crazy or stupid, or they're dead.

Although due to the contract, Dementors can't give them a kiss directly, but it's normal to come and smoke it once in a while.

Very few wizards can resist the devotion of the Dementors, especially those who have been sucking for years.

Severus then meets the first normal wizard, Bellatrix. Lestrange.

She still looks beautiful, and it seems that her one-year prison career has not affected her much, no wonder she has been able to hold on for more than ten years.

In addition to escaping by turning into an animal, as Sirius did, another way is to be more determined, which is a bit more difficult.

There is also a more evil will, and this Bella happens to have it.

She also saw Severus, then got up gracefully and greeted, "What a rarity, Severus. Snape! ”

Bellatrix: Are you here to deliver me tickets?

Bellatrix: Isn't it?!
