Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 104: Jailbreak (Part 1)
A sudden cold snap from the North Atlantic hit the entire Western Europe overnight.
It also makes the weather look awful!
The torrential rain has lasted for almost two weeks, and the dark sky seems to be about to collapse.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind and the rain were beating the ground, and the rain was splashing.
Even the usually mild sea area of the North Sea is now roaring and roaring.
On the sea level, a Muggle fishing boat was fighting fiercely with the waves in the storm, as if it would be swallowed by the waves at any moment, making the spectators sweat for them.
"This **** weather!"
Cornelius Fudge angrily threw half of the cigar on the ground. In such a big storm, wanting to smoke a cigarette has become a luxury.
His eyes were still looking at the Muggle fishing boat in the sea.
"When will I be able to leave this **** island?"
He couldn't help complaining loudly, and at the same time forced himself to look away from the Muggle fishing boat in the distance.
Suddenly, a dazzling electric light flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the sky and the earth.
At that moment, Fudge suddenly and clearly saw, not ten yards away from him, sitting on a fence, a tabby cat; The tabby cat with a pair of square glasses was there quietly, in the storm, motionless
Fudge couldn't help wiping his glasses.
It's unbelievable how such animals can still exist on this small island!
But when he took a closer look, the "spotted cat" just now had completely disappeared, leaving only an empty enclosure.
Sure enough, it was just his own illusion, Fudge thought to himself.
He hurried past that section of wall, unwilling to stay in the storm any longer, he wanted to rush back to the camp as soon as possible.
At the same time, several black shadows slowly drifted across the sky.
Mr. Cornelius Oswald Fudge had just celebrated his fiftieth birthday just a few days ago.
Accompanying him on this birthday are only a few colleagues on the island, and a group of eerie, rotten, stench, and incomprehensible monsters
This also means that fifty years have passed in his slightly failed life.
More than thirty years ago, the young Fudge had just graduated from the Slytherin house at Hogwarts, and he was in full bloom. He is full of ambition, relying on some connections from his parents, he joined the Ministry of Magic right after graduation and became an employee of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters. He is 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 didn't make any mistakes in principle, and he didn't have any achievements worth mentioning. His career history can only be said to be mediocre.
To this day, he is still just a deputy leader of the Invisibility Task Force under the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and many of the witches and wizards who joined the Ministry of Magic at the same time as him are already in high positions. . Every time I think of this, Mr. Fudge can't sleep at night.
The sole responsibility of the Invisibility Task Force is to ensure that magical animals and magical places in the wizarding world remain unnoticed by Muggles.
Among these locations, Azkaban is included!
And Mr. Cornelius Fudge is the special commissioner of the Invisibility Task Force in Azkaban.
There is no doubt that this is not a pleasant errand.
Because Azkaban is a prison for wizards.
It is almost the largest wizard prison in the whole of England, and even in the whole of Western Europe. Perhaps only the Chateau d'If prison near Marseilles can be compared with it in scale.
This prison was built on a lonely island in the vast North Sea.
Nearly a hundred criminals are imprisoned here: there are extreme wizards who maliciously use magic of mass destruction, there are murderers who have committed many crimes, and there are also dark wizards who violated the 1945 Act and betrayed the wizard class
In addition, there are several special commissioners of the Ministry of Magic stationed on the island, including Mr. Cornelius Fudge; Known as "one of the most hateful creatures on earth"
"Dementor!"
This kind of creature, they look like they are wearing a cloak, and the whole body seems to be soaked in water, with scabbed palms and rotting bodies. Wherever they pass, they will absorb all life, and remind the wizards and Muggles around them of the most terrifying things
No one likes them, not even the Ministry of Magic commissioners who often deal with them.
If we want to talk about the history of "Azkaban" and "Dementors", then the name of "Extis", an evil and extreme wizard, cannot be avoided.
Ektis is said to be from the Netherlands, and he lived in the fourteenth to fifteenth centuries. He was the earliest resident of Azkaban Island and an extremely powerful extreme wizard; built a fort.
And when Ekstice was alive ~IndoMTL.com~'s favorite thing to do was to seduce, torture and kill Muggle sailors passing by here, and then use them to carry out a dangerous and extreme magical experiment
While he was alive, no one knew of the existence of Azkaban. Even because of the spell, the island does not appear on the map.
After his death, the concealment spell cast became ineffective, and the British Ministry of Magic realized the existence of the island and the building.
The wizards who were sent to the island to investigate were unwilling to mention the tragic scene on the island afterwards. They only wanted to mention that the place was full of an extremely disgusting magical creature. They named that creature "Dementors," and declined to say more.
Many authorities in the British wizarding community at the time believed that the island was an extremely evil place and that it would be best to destroy it completely.
But many people worry that after the island is destroyed, the dementors on the island will swarm out to take cruel revenge on the wizarding world; An effective means for such terrifying creatures as ghosts.
What's more, before Ulrich Gamp created the Ministry of Magic, the entire British wizarding world was actually a mess, with no strong power at all!
Therefore, the island of Azkaban had to be abandoned for many years, and the dementors on the island still frequently attacked passing Muggle ships, torturing those Muggle sailors in distress, and sucking away their happiness and souls
Torment and pain abound on every wall of Azkaban, fueling the ever-increasing dementor population.
