A sudden cold snap from the North Atlantic struck all of Western Europe overnight.

It also makes the weather terrible!

The torrential rain had been going on for almost two weeks, and the dark sky seemed to be about to collapse.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind and rain whipped the ground, and the rain splashed.

Even the North Sea, a sea area that has always been mild, is now rolling and roaring.

At sea level, a Muggle fishing boat is battling the waves in the storm, as if it will be swallowed by the waves at any moment, making the spectators sweat for them.

"Damn weather!"

Cornelius Fudge angrily threw half of his cigar to the ground. In such a big storm, wanting to smoke a cigarette has become a luxury.

His eyes were still on the Muggle fishing ship in the sea.

"When will I be able to leave this damn island?"

He couldn't help but grumble loudly, forcing himself to look away from the Muggle fishing boat in the distance.

Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the sky and the earth.

At that moment, Fudge suddenly saw very clearly, less than ten yards from him, on a fence, sitting a spotted cat, with strange lines around its eyes, like a pair of square glasses...... The spotted cat was there quietly, in the midst of the storm, motionless......

Fudge couldn't help but wipe his glasses.

It's incredible how such animals can survive on this small island!

But when he looked closely, the "spotted cat" just now had completely disappeared, leaving only an empty wall.

Sure enough, it's just my own delusion...... Fudge thought to himself.

He hurried across the wall, not wanting to stay any longer in the storm, and he wanted to get back to camp as soon as possible.

At the same time, a few dark shadows slowly drifted through the sky.

......

Just a few days ago, Mr. Cornelius Oswald Fudge had just celebrated his fiftieth birthday.

He was accompanied by only a few colleagues from the island and a group of eerie, rotten, foul-smelling, and incomprehensible monsters......

This also means that a full fifty years have passed in his slightly failed life.

More than thirty years ago, the then young Fudge had just graduated from Slytherin House at Hogwarts. Ambitious, he joined the Ministry of Magic just after graduating, relying on some connections from his father's generation, and became an employee of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and he was very eager to make a career in the Ministry of Magic.

And in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, he stayed for more than thirty years.

During this period, he did not make any mistakes of principle, nor did he have any merits worth mentioning, and his career resume can only be described as mediocre.

To this day, he is still nothing more than a subordinate of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and a deputy leader of the Invisible Task Force...... And many of the witches and wizards who joined the Ministry of Magic at the same time as him were already in high positions. Every time I think of this, Mr. Fudge can't sleep at night.

The sole duty of the Invisible Task Force is to ensure that magical animals and magic-related locations in the wizarding world are not noticed by Muggles.

Among these locations is Azkaban!

Mr. Connelly Fudge is the Invisible Task Force commissioner in Azkaban.

Without a doubt, this is not a pleasant errand.

......

Because Azkaban is a wizarding prison.

It is the largest wizarding prison in almost all of England, and indeed in all of Western Europe...... Perhaps only the Chéteau d'If, near Marseille, is comparable in size.

This prison is built on a lonely island in the vast North Sea.

Nearly 100 criminals were imprisoned here: extreme wizards who maliciously used magic of mass destruction, murderers who committed crimes, and dark wizards who violated the 1945 Act and betrayed the wizarding class......

In addition to this, there are several Ministry of Magic commissioners stationed on the island, including Mr. Cornelius Fudge, and a horde of eerie creatures that are not in the least popular with wizards and are even known as "one of the most abominable creatures on earth"-

"Dementors!"

The creatures, they looked like they were wearing a cloak, their bodies were soaked in water, their palms were scabbed, their bodies were rotting. Wherever they passed, they sucked all life out and reminded the wizards and Muggles around them of the most terrible things......

No one likes them, not even the Ministry of Magic commissioners who deal with them regularly.

If you want to talk about the history of "Azkaban" and "Dementors", then the name of "Axis", the evil and extreme wizard, cannot be avoided.

Exes is said to have come from the Netherlands and lived almost in the 14th and 15th centuries...... He was one of the earliest inhabitants of Azkaban and an extremely powerful extreme sorcerer, and he built a fortress on the island of Azkaban.

While alive, Aixis' favorite thing to do was to lure, torture, and kill Muggle sailors who passed through him, and then use them to conduct a dangerous experiment with extreme magic......

While he was alive, no one knew of the existence of Azkaban. Even due to the spell cast, the map does not show the island's existence.

It was only after his death that the hidden spell he had cast lost its effect, and the British Ministry of Magic became aware of the existence of the island and its structure.

The wizards who were sent to the island to investigate were reluctant to mention the island's tragedy afterwards...... All they wanted to mention was that the place was full of extremely disgusting magical creatures, which they named "Dementors", and refused to reveal more.

At the time, many authorities in the British wizarding world believed that the island was an extremely evil place and that it was better to destroy it completely.

However, many feared that the destruction of the island would cause the Dementors to swarm out and take brutal revenge on the wizarding world, and at that time, the "Patronus Charm" had not been studied, and wizards generally lacked effective means to deal with the terrifying creatures of the Dementors.

What's more, before Ulrick Gamp created the Ministry of Magic, the entire British wizarding world was actually completely scattered, and there was no powerful force at all!

As a result, Azkaban had to be abandoned for many years, and the island's Dementors continued to raid Muggle ships passing by, torturing Muggle sailors who were shipwrecked and sucking their joy and souls......

Torture and pain pervade every wall of Azkaban, which has led to an increase in the number of Dementors.
