Ashes of Hogwarts

Cold waters in the middle of the North Sea.

A castle stands quietly on the island.

This is a restricted area.

Not just for Muggles, but also for wizards.

It's Hogwarts' fifth house, Azkaban.

Every year, some outstanding graduates of Hogwarts choose to come to Azkaban to study again in order to make themselves even better.

Their slogan is.

[We come from hell, we are cruel and brutal, we commit all kinds of evil, we murder and set fire, we are Azkaban! 】

Unfortunately, their abundant passion soon disappeared with a passionate kiss from the security uncle.

The Azkabans who have lost their happiness can only stare at a pair of big, dull eyes all day long, completing their studies in the darkened castle.

Unlike Hogwarts, Azkaban adopts a year-round admissions system. As long as you pass the test, you can enter Azkaban to study. It can be called a model representative in the education world.

Today, Auror Mr. Kingsley Shacklebolt enthusiastically brought a new student to the school.

——Mr. Peter Pettigrew.

Even the guards of Azkaban did not expect that the great hero who had appeared in the newspapers was actually a damn Death Eater and a despicable betrayer.

Perfectly meets the admission requirements for Azkaban.

During a storm, Kingsley took Peter to the prison.

Kingsley didn't like to come into contact with Dementors. These things were too weird and it was impossible for normal humans to have a good impression of them.

Fortunately, there are normal guards in the prison - they usually stay in Azkaban and only appear when new students arrive, and they quickly greet them.

Kingsley handed Peter over to them and turned to follow the other guard to the reception room.

These guards are the professional handlers.They dragged Peter's limp body, complaining about his quality.

Peter could hardly feel any joy in his body. I really don't know what he experienced before coming to Azkaban.

But don't worry, Azkaban has a professional psychological clinic - Mr. Dementor.One long kiss was enough to solve all his worries.

In the black metal corridor, there is a rare office with white lights.

Although it still looked... eerie, it was still a normal room.

Kingsley waited quietly.

Soon, Sirius was brought in, freshly groomed.

God, he was so thin that he was just skin and bones. Even if he dressed up again, it would be difficult to hide his look like a zombie.

His eyes were sunken deeply into his sockets, his pupils were unfocused, and he was looking aimlessly at an unknown place.

He kept mumbling something in his mouth.

"Black, Peter Pettigrew, who framed you in the first place, was caught and you were acquitted."

Kingsley said softly.

Although his attitude will not have any impact on Sirius now, people who know the past will definitely be reluctant to hurt this poor man again.

Black's pupils seemed to have regained focus. He looked at Kingsley blankly and kept mumbling.

Kingsley moved closer to him.

"I killed them..."

He just repeated this.

In his opinion, Peter deserved to be imprisoned.

However, while he was full of hatred for Pettigrew, he was not punishing himself.

This is atonement!

"Black, I know that your heart may be filled with guilt for the death of the Potters, but that is not your fault." Kingsley did not want to see Sirius sink, and he advised earnestly: "Is it possible that Peter is in jail? Is it over? Have you forgotten the children left behind by the Potters?"

After hearing Harry's news, Black's spirit finally recovered and he stopped mumbling.

Sure enough, Harry's information was valid, and Professor Losric's guess was accurate.

Kingsley continued: "You can't imagine how much that child suffered. He grew up in his aunt's house and was bullied. He could only sleep in a cupboard since he was a child. He finally escaped from the Muggle family and entered Hogwarts. Also targeted by Professor Snape..."

Snape?

Sirius' expression began to darken.

"On his first day at school, he was scolded by Professor Snape, and his subsequent experiences were even more horrific. Another professor named Lothric said that Snape often called Harry into the office at night. , I don’t know what to do.”

Blake clenched his fists, his body shaking.

"Snape!!"

He let out an angry roar, and didn't know where the strength came from. He grabbed Kingsley by the collar and pulled him in front of him.

"Then what happened to Harry?"

Looking at Sirius's red eyes, Kingsley had no doubt that he would be on the Azkaban entrance exam results list the next moment.

"Don't get excited. Professor Losric's goddaughter is Harry's good friend. With his help, Harry will be fine."

Blake let go, finally wanting to get out.

James had been entrusted to him by Harry.But Harry had suffered for so many years, but he hid in Azkaban and refused to face it.

What a failure.

He had to get out, at least for James and Lily.

At least it was to let Harry know that there were people in the world who cared about him.

"Sorry, I'm too excited."

He began to apologize to Kingsley who was standing aside.

"Understood." Kingsley took out a bottle of golden potion and placed it in front of Black.

"Happiness potion? Is there such a good service now after being released from prison?" The joy potion is a high-grade magic potion and is expensive.

Even if he had been wronged for 12 years, it was impossible for the Ministry of Magic to compensate him with something like this.

"Professor Snape gave this to me before I left Hogwarts. His original words were [If you are not afraid of death, drink it, so that you can stay away from Harry!]"

Kingsley found Professor Lothric's comments about Professor Snape interesting.

He obviously didn't want Harry to see his godfather in such a mess, but he still spoke so hard as if he wanted to kill him.

Of course, Professor Losric's next sentence [How do you know Severus doesn't want to kill him? 】It’s a little hard to understand.

"Snape's? This guy's advantage is not in vain, and he can't drink me to death anyway."

Blake was bold enough to pick up the potion and drink it in one gulp.

The golden liquid flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and Blake's head began to feel dizzy.

"This guy is really drugged."

slap~

Sirius fell asleep.

"The elation potion is mixed with the powerful water of life and death. By the time you finish your sweet dream, you should have arrived at Hogwarts."

With a sigh, Kingsley picked up the sleeping Black and walked out of the prison.

In his sleep, Blake dreamed of the golden sunshine when he was 11 years old.

There is also the "beep~beep~" whistle of the Hogwarts Express.

That year, the sun was just right, and four young teenagers established a friendship on the train.

There was also the red-haired girl who was going tit-for-tat with them.

very nice……
