Starting Over at Hogwarts

Dumbledore went to Azkaban overnight.

The fact that Peter Pettigrew was the murderer behind the incident that planned that incident was too serious, and Dumbledore must find out the truth of this incident and that year as soon as possible.

If all this is true...

Then Pettigrew's destructive power is too great.

certainly.

Dumbledore can only go to Azkaban by himself.

Because Snape is not very suitable for wandering in Azkaban.

In the past, Severus Snape had joined Voldemort and was a Death Eater that Voldemort recognized very well, otherwise, Voldemort would not have hesitated for a moment when killing Lily Potter.

only.

Then something happened to Voldemort.

All the Death Eaters under Voldemort's command were imprisoned in Azkaban.

This also means that the Death Eaters currently being held in Azkaban are all Snape's former colleagues, and it might be a bit unpleasant for them to meet.

Plus Snape had a tense relationship with Sirius Black.

If we let Snape go there together, I'm afraid they won't be able to ask any questions, and the two of them just humiliated each other with words across the cell all night...

late at night.

An island in the waters of the North Sea.

This small island is cold all year round, and almost no one dares to stay here.

Because in addition to the coldness of the island and the surrounding waters, there are also a group of weird and terrifying dark creatures living on the island.

Dementors.

This kind of creature is empty and formless. It survives by absorbing the happiness and courage of human beings. Even when it wants to kill, it can directly suck away the soul of a human being.

Even if humans approach them, they will lose their courage and happiness, and truly feel the extreme darkness of the world.

no doubt.

This is one of the most terrifying creatures in the wizarding world.

However, the intelligence of the dementors is very low, and the Ministry of Magic reached an agreement with the dementors, making them the jailers of Azkaban.

This small island in the waters of the North Sea is not only Azkaban, the prison of the wizarding world, but also the residence of creatures such as dementors.

When Dumbledore arrived on the island, the dementors immediately sensed the presence of strangers, and a group of dementors instantly gathered into a dense black shadow and rushed towards him!

However, when they smelled Dumbledore's scent, they quickly stopped their movements. They knew that this was a very threatening person!

Dumbledore took out another document with the special seal of the Minister of Magic. The dementors smelled the inkpad and quickly swarmed back.

After Dumbledore solved the group of jailers, he slowly walked into the Azkaban Castle along the road on the island.

When Dumbledore walked in, he saw a group of Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban Castle, most of whom were tortured to death by dementors.

When this group of prisoners, who had lost their energy for a long time, saw Dumbledore, they frantically opened the small window of the prison!

"Dumbledore!"

"Principal Dumbledore!"

Every prisoner couldn't help shouting Dumbledore's name, as if seeing the hope of leaving Azkaban, hoping that Dumbledore would save him.

certainly.

Among them, there are naturally those who can't understand Dumbledore.

For example, Bella Lestrange, a die-hard fan of Voldemort, this messy-haired crazy woman lay on the ground and cursed Dumbledore: "Stubborn old guy... the headmaster of the magic school who betrayed his blood... Bah, the wizard's traitor!"

"..."

Dumbledore was completely deaf to this.

Because he has lived to his age and reached his current status, whether it is abuse, questioning or praise, it is already a thing outside of him.

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring his own students who had gone astray, he walked to a narrow cell step by step.

Sirius Black lives here.

Sirius, a wizard with a very distinguished bloodline and surname, lived a life of neither human nor ghost in this prison, as if he didn't care about everything.

Not even the dementors could find joy in him.

Dumbledore looked at the skinny Sirius, frowned unobtrusively, and called his name softly.

"Blake..."

"Um?"

Sirius Black has been listening to the abuse in this prison castle, and he is not used to hearing a familiar voice call his name suddenly.

Sirius was lying on the floor, and slowly turned his head to look at the small window of the cell door. He slowly turned over and got up, almost crawling to the cell door.

"Dumbledore?"

"I have something to ask you."

Dumbledore stared intently into Sirius' eyes, and the old man's eyes were sharper than ever before: "Tell me, was it you or Peter Pettigrew who betrayed the safe house of the Potters?"

"You knew already?"

Sirius Black took a deep breath, then lowered his head self-consciously: "I believed in the wrong person at the beginning. I thought he was still our friend. Now, it's meaningless to say these things..."

Best friends James Potter and his family are dead.

Only Harry Potter, the orphan left behind, Dumbledore, Hagrid and others did not allow him to raise him, or even allow him to approach.

Nothing seems to make sense now.

Dumbledore did not appease Sirius Black, but continued to ask in a deep voice, "Did you do the explosion in the Muggle world eight years ago, or did Peter do it himself?"

"...is there any point?"

Sirius Black raised his hand indifferently, and was about to lie back on the floor again: "Anyway, that traitor is dead, and I don't want to live anymore..."

"tell me!"

Dumbledore's voice suddenly became much louder.

"He did it."

Sirius Black immediately answered the question. He recalled the scene of that day: "I cornered the traitor in a crowded street corner, leaving him nowhere to go. He created an explosion and committed suicide..."

"I see."

Dumbledore nodded slowly.

After finishing speaking, the old man was about to turn around and leave. Before leaving, he took another look at the decadent Sirius Black, and continued in a deep voice: "If we can find evidence to prove that all this is true, we will find a way Get you off the hook..."

"There's no need for that anymore..."

Sirius Black sat slowly on the ground, leaning against the cell door and slowly said: "Everything is my own fault, even if I go out, what can I do..."

"You can meet Harry Potter, James' son."

At this moment, Dumbledore seemed to want to give Sirius Black hope again, and said softly: "There are still two years left, and Harry will be eleven years old, and he will be able to enter Hogwarts soon..."

"Are you willing to let me take care of Harry!"

Sirius Black rolled over almost instantly!

At this moment, the man rekindled his hope for freedom. He grabbed the small window of the prison door and looked at Dumbledore anxiously: "When will you let me see Harry! Let's go now!"

"not now."

Dumbledore shook his head slowly, and continued: "Harry still needs to stay in the Muggle world for a while... I must also thoroughly investigate the truth of the year, find evidence as soon as possible, and let you leave Azkaban."

This is the most critical place.

In fact, Dumbledore has now believed Sirius Black's explanation, and he has already determined in his heart that Pettigrew Peter is the real culprit behind everything.

But there is not enough evidence...

The Ministry of Magic would not allow Sirius to leave.

This is where the Ministry of Magic is very cumbersome. When they locked Sirius in, they didn't even conduct a trial. Now they want to release Sirius, but they must ask for evidence.

"I see…"

Sirius Black lowered his head feebly.

Although he was still a little downcast, at least he had hope in his heart.

If it weren't for worrying that Dumbledore might not have fully trusted him again, Sirius Black would actually want to sneak out of prison...

The days are still long.

Blake could take his time and wait.

Sooner or later, he would be able to meet his godson openly.

Sirius felt relieved.

What he didn't know, however, was that when Dumbledore left Azkaban, his heart became unusually heavy.

Pettigrew Peter.

He was the one who betrayed the Potters.

Combined with Pettigrew's knowledge of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and past deceptions against Voldemort, it also means that Pettigrew has been playing a huge game of chess.

now…

All of them became pawns on Peter Pettigrew's chessboard.

For the first time, Dumbledore was shocked by Peter Pettigrew's wisdom, and even felt a little surprised and disturbed by his planning.

perhaps.

The only lucky thing is that Peter Pettigrew miscalculated the future, he only knew how to arrange to count the powerful wizards in the past, and ignored the little wizards in the future...

The future is unknown...

Dumbledore is not the only one in the world who can destroy Horcruxes.

In the future, there will be many freshmen who are full of courage to fight against Voldemort, and among them there will be people who can destroy Horcruxes.

Especially among the freshmen this year, there is also a little guy who can pull out the sword of Gryffindor. In the future, he will definitely become a helper to help fight Voldemort and destroy the Horcrux.
