Harry Potter and the Beginning: Azkaban

July 1980, 7, a hot summer day.

North Sea.

In this uninhabited sea, there is a little-known island, on which stands a solitary castle with a strange shape.

And this castle is the most famous prison in the entire wizarding world, Azkaban!

Azkaban's fame comes from the island's unique creatures, the dreaded Dementors.

That morning, the entire North Sea was shrouded in haze, which was very unusual.

In the hazy fog, there was complete silence and the atmosphere was very strange.

At this moment, in Azkaban prison, all the prisoners could feel the breath of death in the air.

This breath of death made them feel very uncomfortable, as if a disaster was about to happen.

The Dementors were somewhat excited, roaring towards the sky, as if they were celebrating the birth of the king.

Almost everyone doesn't know that under Azkaban Prison, there is a mysterious space that has never been discovered by anyone.

In this dim and narrow space, there is a woman with stunning beauty and extraordinary temperament.

But don't be fooled by her young and pretty face, her age is beyond your imagination.

She was a female prisoner who had been held captive for who knows how many centuries.

At this time, the woman was pregnant with a big belly, her brows slightly furrowed, and fine beads of sweat kept oozing from her forehead. She looked in great pain.

She screamed in pain and slapped the ground frantically with her hands.

"Bang, bang, bang"...

Every time the hand hit the ground, a loud noise was heard, and the solid ground was left with deep palm prints by the tremendous force.

Along with the loud noise, the ground was shaking continuously, and black cracks kept extending from the palm prints.

The enormous force caused the entire Azkaban to begin to tremble!

Even the sounds coming out of her mouth condensed into smoke-ring-like sound waves, which looked like they were made of compressed air.

After the sound waves spread out, they hit the wall and made a "buzzing" sound.

Soon, the walls began to creak under the weight of the high-pitched sound.

Soon, the wall was covered with fine cracks, like glass about to break.

At this moment, dark green energy suddenly emerged from the cracks.

They seemed to have consciousness, shuttling back and forth between the cracks.

Wherever these energies pass, the cracks are repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short while, the horrible cracks before will be restored to their original state, without any sign of abnormality.

It seems that this space is obviously reinforced by magic.

Otherwise, the space would most likely collapse completely because it could not withstand the enormous force.

this woman.

Oh no!

She should be called a witch!

This witch's name was Loris Helen.

Loris is a witch from a very ancient magical race in the Amazon rainforest of South America.

This "witch" does not refer to the modern blood wizards (wizards with magic in their blood), but the so-called Muggle wizards and pure-blood wizards.

Loris is one of the oldest wizard races in the world, a witch!

The origin of witches can be traced back to ancient Greece before Christ.

Witches have a long lifespan. They are born as the incarnation of the devil, possessing devilish powers and magic. They are a race full of anger and jealousy.

Of course, the original witches, although they possessed powerful powers and magic, they did not do anything wrong because of it.

There are even quite a few kind and simple witches who use their magic to help humans create forests and protect their homes.

It was not until the Middle Ages that some people emerged who were unwilling to be mediocre.

They envied the witches' godlike powers and their long lifespans.

As a result, a group of people with ulterior motives soon emerged.

They imitate, learn, and even steal the blood of witches.

Before long, some of them succeeded, and these people possessed magical powers.

Human greed is endless and they soon become dissatisfied with the status quo.

Some people with evil intentions even want to become the legendary gods and possess supreme power.

As a result, they created many sects in the world and wrote a large number of myths.

However, these false myths soon faced a difficult test.

Under the test of time, some myths have simply disappeared in the long river of history without even a trace left.

Only then did they wake up from the false myth and discover a terrifying fact: their lifespan was limited.

Even if their lifespan is extended through various means, it is ultimately limited.

That short lifespan is nothing compared to the long lifespans of those witches.

It's nothing, there's no comparison.

After seeing this fact, they became jealous and crazy!

Human beings are always selfish. If they can't get it, then just destroy it!

So, under the influence of some sects with ulterior motives.

A vigorous witch hunt that lasted for centuries began.

This centuries-long war left countless witches dead in fire, by arrows, and by the guillotine.

From then on, the seeds of hatred were planted, and those witches who survived basically became evil.

In order to avenge humanity, they created new races: werewolves, vampires, demons...

------

Loris Helen was born in the early 8th century.

At that time, the witch hunt outside was still very intense and the situation was very serious.

For the sake of her own safety, she has not dared to go out since she was born, and has been hiding in the sparsely populated Amazon rainforest all year round.

For centuries, Loris lived alone in the jungle without any contact with any humans, which resulted in her relatively simple character.

Until the early 14th century.

In the depths of the jungle, Loris accidentally met Axtis (the builder of Azkaban) who had fled there.

At that time, Axtis was seriously injured.

Loris, who was kind-hearted, did not choose to abandon him, but took Axtis back.

Under Loris' careful care, Axtis' injuries were quickly relieved.

During this period, in order to survive, Axtis made up a tragic story.

After understanding the whole story, innocent Loris easily believed the equally disliked black wizard Axtis.

Soon, under the sweet talk of Axtis, Loris walked out of the jungle where she had lived for centuries.

But who is Axtis? He was a famous dark wizard at that time.

What good intentions could he have!

When he first met Loris, Axtis noticed something was wrong.

After a period of contact, he soon discovered Loris's true identity, the legendary witch.

In order to achieve some ulterior motives, Axtis deceived the innocent Loris with sweet words.

Sure enough, the good times didn’t last long.

After being in contact with Loris for half a century, Axtis found that he could not extend his life through the witch.

Axtis was just like his predecessors. He soon fell into despair!

People who fall into despair are very scary. Axtis used the bond of emotion to coax Loris to the North Sea and built this castle - Azkaban.

This fortress was originally used to imprison Loris.

Of course, when Axtis was first built, he did not specify what it was used for.

It was not until the castle was completed that Loris realized the problem, and the two of them started a fierce battle.

Axtis didn't expect that the witch who had lived for centuries was far more powerful than he imagined.

However, once Axtis made his choice, the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot.

It was too late to regret now, and there was no point in him saying anything more.
