The cold waters of the North Sea, on a small island.

This is home to one of the most feared places in Britain, the legendary Dark Wizard High Academy and the Death Eater cadre training class - Azkaban Prison.

A stone building standing a full fifty meters tall stood here, with no windows on the outer wall, only a few three-meter-high doors at the bottom, each with two Dementors standing outside it.

There was a strong magical aura on the walls, and there were many symbols of ancient magic scripts to prevent the prisoners from escaping.

However, the upper echelons of the prison are only petty and are incarcerated by prisoners who steal and sell second-hand crucibles, smuggle prohibited items, or illegally raise magical beasts.

At its fullest, only one-twentieth of the cells were occupied.

After all, it was a research institute built by the Wizarding Council to study Dementors, so the upper floors were originally rooms for researchers and members of the Wizarding Council.

And the most heinous prisoners, such as powerful dark wizards or prominent members of the Death Eaters, were imprisoned underground in Azkaban.

Deep beneath Azkaban, there is a circle of cells.

The cells were filthy, each containing only one toilet, a slate bed covered with straw, and two empty bowls.

Two steel rings hung from the ceiling, from which chains were suspended, and the other end was tied to the prisoners in the cells, severely restricting their range of movement.

The inmates in the cells are scrawny middle-aged and elderly men and women.

Their hair was disheveled, covered in dust that had not been washed in an unknown amount of time, and their nails were long enough to be used as daggers.

The prisoners were all handcuffed and handcuffed, and there was only one person in a cell, as if fearing that they would cooperate with each other to get out of bondage.

In one of the prisons, the inmates were in much better shape.

Of course, in comparison, his mental state was very bad, and he was on the verge of collapse.

Peter Pettigrew is curled up on a bed of stone slabs without a quilt so that the chains don't weigh on his body.

Presumably to prevent him from escaping as an Animagus, Peter Pettigrew had more chains on his body than the other prisoners, and the chains were also engraved with unique ancient scripts.

It's a legacy of the Wizards' Council, a magical item dedicated to Transfiguration masters.

Of course, even without restraints, Peter Pettigrew didn't want to get out of bed at all.

After all, this prison floor is inhabited by a large number of his former colleagues!

Peter Pettigrew still can't forget the crazy attitude of the Death Eaters around him when he entered Azkaban on his first day, and he wanted to tear himself apart!

After all, Bellatrix Lestrange knew Peter Pettigrew's true identity.

Originally, as Voldemort's important assistant and craziest follower, Bellatrix would not divulge the list of Death Eaters and would not tell anyone else.

What if someone changes their minds during this arduous prison life, loses their loyalty to their master, and then gives a list in exchange for freedom?

So she didn't even tell her colleagues the truth that Sirius wasn't a Death Eater, lest there be a hole in her confession.

But when she sees Peter Pettigrew being sent to prison with layers of magic chains on his body, she immediately realizes that Peter Pettigrew has been exposed.

So she simply told her colleagues the truth about the year.

And so Peter Pettigrew's day of suffering came.

Most of the Death Eaters thought Peter Pettigrew was meddling and leaking the address of the Potters to their masters, causing them to suffer here.

After all, in the minds of the Death Eaters, all this was a trap for Dumbledore, how could that little girl named Harry Potter be able to threaten the great Dark Lord? (There was an occasional newspaper in the prison, so I learned about Hallie's true gender.) Few people knew about prophecy. ）

So Peter Pettigrew had to endure abuse and threats every day, and his life was miserable.

He now regrets it very much, why did he defect to Voldemort in the first place, why did he leak the address of the Potter family, why didn't he just flee Hogwarts and fly away?

In the silence of day and night, remorse gradually distorted, degenerated, and turned into hatred and fear.

Peter Pettigrew didn't dare to hate Voldemort, after all, the Dark Lord really kills, and will brutally torture himself.

He just hated his former friends, why should they force themselves to join the Order of the Phoenix, and they didn't protect themselves after joining!

He hated Dumbledore and claimed to be the most powerful wizard, but he couldn't protect anyone!

He hated that damn Harry Potter, and if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have ended up here!

But remembering the great strength of these people, Peter Pettigrew felt deep fear and powerlessness again.

He is just a lowly mouse who can't see the sun and doesn't deserve to see it, what qualifications do he have to be their enemies?

Unbeknownst to Peter Pettigrew, there was a gray and dark green glow spreading through his flesh.

There are invisible lines on his heart, the same lines as witches!

Just as Peter Pettigrew begins to numb himself with fantasies, fantasizing that he has been valued by his master and given power.

His spirit suddenly went into a trance, as if something was taking root and growing gradually.

When Peter Pettigrew came to his senses, the chains on his body had lost their magical luster and had fallen to the ground.

Peter Pettigrew was instantly amazed that he was able to transform into Animagus! He had a chance to escape!

Peter Pettigrew instantly turned into a rat and slipped through the gap between the railings.

Regarding Peter Pettigrew's cell, as in the others, the gap between the fences has not been shortened.

Aside from the magic that made the pillar stronger, it didn't have any other unknown magic.

After all, the officials at the Ministry of Magic thought that the iron lock would be enough to trap Peter Pettigrew and prevent him from taking Animagus form, so they didn't do much to set it up.

And they didn't want to stay here for even a second longer, after all, most of the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic were pure-blood nobles, so how could they stay here longer?

This allowed Peter Pettigrew to easily enter the hallway outside and transform back into his human form.

"What am I going to do? By the way, I'm going to get out...... I'm going to find the master...... Only the master can save me......"

Peter Pettigrew stood in the hallway in confusion, trying to weave through the memories in his head.

He thought that he was probably a little dazed from his previous sleep, and that he was affected by the Dementors, so his brain was a little difficult to use.

But soon, he sorted out his thoughts.

And in the surrounding cells, the prisoners went crazy after seeing Peter Pettigrew turn into a mouse, burrow through the fence, and then get out again.

They are loyal to their Dark Lord, but that doesn't mean they're happy to suffer here!

Not only is it because the people in this layer are too evil, but they are also strong-willed and have little happiness to draw.

As a result, the Dementors have chosen to be lazy, and only come here when the Aurors are on patrol.

But it is also a great torture that can have a great impact on wizards.

Almost all the prisoners threw themselves on the railings, screaming frantically.

"Peter Pettigrew, you bastard, get me out!" Rodolphus Lestrange, the most murderous Death Eater, roared,

"Dead rat, if you dare not let me out, I will kill you!"

And a Death Eater like August Luckwood, who worked in the Department of Mysteries and had a better brain, took a different tone:

"Dear Peter, please let me out, only if we cooperate with each other can we escape from Azkaban!"

But they all had one thing in common - they were all howling desperately, eager to burst their throats.

Sirius, as a traitor, had no evidence of his special status among the Death Eaters, so he was locked up on the edge closest to the staircase.

This also caused Sirius to escape from Azkaban without anyone noticing it until the Aurors were on patrol.

And now, Peter Pettigrew is locked in a cell in the middle, and no one ignores his escape, and no one wants to miss this precious opportunity.

However, Bellatrix roared, "Shut up!" Are you trying to bring in the Ministry's Miscellaneous and those Dementors? ”

At the same time, several prisoners with relatively high IQs also reacted immediately, cooperating with Bellatrix to stop the crazy actions of other colleagues.

After the room was completely silent, Bellatrix stared at Peter Pettigrew and finally said in a hoarse voice:

"Get us out, Peter Pettigrew! We can create chaos for you, and it will be better for you to escape from Azkaban! ”

"No...... No," Peter Pettigrew was so terrified in the face of Bellatrix, the murderous witch that he almost agreed to her request.

But after a moment of trance, Peter Pettigrew subconsciously rejected Belacretes.

Looking at the crazy woman with crooked hair, dirty face, and skinny in front of him, and at the devouring fierce light revealed in her eyes, Peter Pettigrew hurriedly said:

"Respect...... Honorable Bellatrix Lestrange...... It's not that I don't want to let you out...... It's just that I don't have the power to destroy these railings! ”

Bellatrix frowned and scolded casually: "Waste! ”

Peter Pettigrew hurriedly leaned over to the railing and said respectfully, "Lord Lestrange, please don't worry. ”

"As soon as I was released from prison, I went to Lord Malfoy, and with him I went to find my master and restore his strength."

"Idiot! Do you have shit in your head? Bellatrix was furious, but lowered her voice and scolded,

"Malfoy is a wall-to-wall grass! That sister of mine is also a coward with no opinions! ”

"If he wants to help his master, he has more than ten years! But he didn't do anything! ”

"In this case, you still want to go to him?"

Peter Pettigrew had a bitter look on his face, he didn't dare to go to the terrifying Dark Lord alone.

But there was another trance in his mind, and he subconsciously said:

"Then I'll go directly to the forests of Albania to find the master, the black market has been circulating, and the owner is hiding there."

"Fool, hurry up!" Bellatrix spat thick phlegm on the ground beside him,

"We'll keep it quiet and cover for you!"

Peter Pettigrew nodded, turned into a mouse, and quickly climbed up the stairs.

Seeing his vanishing figure, the Death Eaters could only pray silently, hoping that the Dark Lord would bless Peter Pettigrew and let him succeed.

But when Peter Pettigrew arrives at the prison gate, he suddenly suffers.

After the prison break of Sirius Black, the Ministry of Magic warned the Dementors who guarded the doorway, asking them not to be lazy anymore.

So these Dementors, who usually go to the upper floors to steal food, are now staying at the door, honestly on duty.

Peter Pettigrew spun around anxiously a few times, and finally seemed to remember something, and chose to go back to the staircase and hide.

……

Although the weather in the North Sea is good today, there is not a single ray of sunshine on the island.

After all, a lot of magic has been exerted on the island, and no other place can pass through except for a small area opened up by the main entrance, which is reserved for the gate.

There was also invisible magic in the sky, and it was difficult for sunlight to penetrate it, making it gray.

A small group of Aurors were bored in the house that had been prepared for them at the door.

How could they be noble Ministry of Magic employees, so how could they stay with the Dementors with criminals?

What's more, there are all criminals there, only a few gold galleons a month? What's the life?

Twice a day, they will have a good conscience.

At this time, two people are playing wizard chess, the other two are pointing and giving advice in the back, and the rest are looking through newspapers or books.

One of the Aurors suddenly complained, "Merlin's big pants, when are we going to get out of here in shifts?" ”

"What are you thinking? Rookes? An Auror, who was playing wizard's chess, replied without raising his head,

"We've only been here for a week, so we're here for at least three weeks...... Bastard! Ogett! Don't move Lao Tzu's chess! ”

The Auror, known as Rooks, looked at the clock on the wall, threw the Daily Prophet onto the table, and stood up with his wand in hand:

"Captain, it's time to patrol!"

An Auror lying asleep on a couch was awakened.

He muttered and rolled over and sat up, "Damn, I hate patrols the most!" ”

"Who doesn't hate it?" Someone replied in a loud voice, "I want to strangle those Dementors to death!" ”

It took a while for the Aurors to lazily assemble.

The Auror captain waved his hand and asked them to continue their patrol, while he continued to sleep here in the name of guarding the island's gates.

The Aurors entered the castle with a sneer, and were assigned the afternoon patrol floors according to the results of winning and losing during the noon game.

An Auror named Olister was assigned to the lowest prison position.

He was reluctant to do so, but he was willing to gamble and lose.

Olister staggered down the stairs, looking triumphantly at the prisoners, and occasionally uttering insults.

It was the only pleasure he had on patrol.

Approaching the staircase between the penultimate and the last prison floor, Olister stopped and took a deep breath before daring to go down.

As he walked, he muttered, "There are stairs below the bottom of the prison, but it's blocked by magic, and I don't know what ...... is inside."

He was still talking to himself, when he suddenly felt a pain in his head and he fainted.

Peter Pettigrew appears behind him.

It occurred to him that he had learned a powerful illusion in a dark magic book.

This illusion is not Transfiguration, but it achieves the same effect as Transfiguration in appearance.

So a complete jailbreak plan emerged-

He dodged Orlister in the form of a rat and knocked him unconscious, retrieving his wand.

Peter Pettigrew then waved his not-so-easy wand and uttered a long list of incantations.

His figure had not changed, but when he used the Golden Galleon that the Aurors had carried with him as a mirror to observe his image, the reflection was Orlistt's face.

Peter Pettigrew was confident that he would be able to dodge all the Aurors, but to be on the safe side, it would be better for him to cast his magic ahead of time.

Peter Pettigrew then quickly looted all of Orlister's belongings and changed into his clothes.

Peter Pettigrew then walked up the stairs, carefully dodging the patrolling Aurors.

There are a lot of stairs here, so with the keen sense of smell that the rats bring to him, Peter Pettigrew managed to make it to the gate.

He settled his mind and strode over.

The Dementor at the door didn't suspect it at all, and opened the door directly to him.

After leaving the prison, Peter Pettigrew rushed to the house, ready to find the key to escape from it.

But when he opened the door, he suddenly found a sleeping Auror lying on the couch!

At this point, Captain Auror was awakened by the door that had fallen into disrepair.

He was still rubbing his eyes while scolding angrily, "Which bastard? Came back so soon! Orlist? ……”

"Faint!"

A red glow streaked through the air, sending the Auror Captain back on the couch.

Peter Pettigrew quickly rushed over and searched for all the items on his body.

Immediately afterward, Peter Pettigrew began to rummage through the house quickly.

After about fifteen minutes, a shout rang out from downstairs: "Captain, we're back...... it! Captain! ”

At this time, Peter Pettigrew was also happy.

He found the pass to leave Azkaban, a key to get out of here!

Azkaban is located in the North Sea, but only a special ship can come here.

The ship only sailed once a month to replenish the island.

However, the Aurors had an emergency way to leave, and Peter Pettigrew did not have a set time for the portkey to activate.

Just take it out of the box where he was kept, hold it, and the portkey will activate in a minute.

Peter Pettigrew grabs the portkey and up his ears to listen to the cacophony downstairs.

These Aurors probably woke up their captain and reacted that someone was trying to escape from prison.

Now they're rushing upstairs while someone saves their teammate from being consumed by the Dementors as fugitives.

"Goodbye, fools!" Peter Pettigrew smiled uncontrollably, his figure twisted, and disappeared.

He appeared in a house in the Ministry of Magic, and as soon as he appeared, there was a loud alarm outside the door.

After all, when everyone is using this portkey, it means that there is an extremely urgent situation in Azkaban.

But Peter Pettigrew quickly sticks to the wall and turns into a mouse.

As the Aurors stationed outside the door rushed in, he slipped out of the corner and dodged the panicked crowd all the way to a room where he could apparition.

The door to this room had not yet closed, and several Ministry of Magic employees were preparing to leave.

Peter Pettigrew didn't hesitate, rushed over, and changed back into human form in full view of everyone.

"He's Peter Pettigrew, grab him ......" One of the employees reacted instantly, but before he could finish speaking, Peter Pettigrew disappeared into thin air.
