The Necromancer of Hogwarts

In the deep darkness of Azkaban, a dazzling light suddenly shone in.

Dumbledore strode forward, and the current situation of Azkaban also came into Dumbledore's eyes.

The sturdiness of the cell has been greatly improved, and some alchemical patterns are engraved on the railings. Prisoners without a wand cannot even think of shaking the cell at all.

Dumbledore also saw some special lines and couldn't help but frowned.

The magic power of the prisoners now being held in the cells will be continuously drained from their bodies, making them no different from Muggles in the cells.

In this case, it is really difficult to escape from jail.

"It seems that you have learned the lesson from the Son of Death's escape from prison?"

"Renovating cells is not cheap. The Ministry of Magic has really been overfed in recent years."

Dumbledore walked all the way to the depths of Azkaban.

There is a particularly well-protected cell here, with Sirius' name engraved on the outside.

Dumbledore waved the Elder Wand.

The magic barrier outside the cell shattered instantly, and then the railings also shattered instantly, revealing the situation inside the cell.

A scrawny black dog squatted in the corner, but his eyes were human-like, revealing unspeakable exhaustion and despair.

This is Sirius' Animagus form. In Animagus form, his body is no different from that of an animal.

The dementors in Azkaban have a much weaker effect on animals, which is the fundamental reason why Sirius can survive until now.

But even so, Sirius' body was completely destroyed.

The long-term torture destroyed his body and destroyed his magic power. Even if he took good care of himself, he would never be able to return to his original magic power level.

Seeing Sirius' miserable appearance, Dumbledore couldn't help but frown.

Sirius was even more surprised when he saw that his cell was destroyed and Dumbledore appeared outside his cell.

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he lay weakly in the corner with only one thought in his mind.

"Have I reached my limit?"

"To have such a ridiculous hallucination, it seems that I am really going to die."

Sirius slowly closed his eyes, and the breath he had been holding in his heart slowly dissipated.

Dumbledore's eyes flashed violently, and he poured a bottle of potion into Sirius' mouth.

Waves of heat spread through Sirius' body, giving his exhausted body some strength.

Only then did Sirius open his eyes, with a strong sense of disbelief in his eyes.

After a few seconds, he exited the Animagus form and returned to his original appearance.

"Deng... Dumbledore?"

A dry voice rang in Dumbledore's ears.

"I thought I would rot here, even my bones, and become part of Azkaban." Sirius said in a daze, "But how did you come to Azkaban?"

His mind couldn't turn around for a while: "You destroyed my cell, Dumbledore, are you here to save me?"

Dumbledore gave Sirius a cold look: "You are accused of betraying James and Lily, and you are accused of committing a horrific act of killing. You should have died in Azkaban."

A low growl came from Sirius's mouth: "No! I didn't! I have never betrayed James!"

"Wormtail, it's him!"

Dumbledore observed Sirius's expression carefully, and his expression softened slightly.

"No matter what you say, Peter is a decorated hero and you are a criminal on trial." He said expressionlessly, "But I can give you another chance."

Sirius's lowered head suddenly lifted up, and he looked at Dumbledore in extreme surprise: "Opportunity? You mean...you want to let me out?"

Dumbledore stared into Sirius's eyes, trying to see the hidden hatred for himself, or the fanaticism for Voldemort.

But he only saw the color of his own eyes.

Sirius didn't hate himself.

"Yes, let you out, Blake. Do two things for me, and then you will get a chance to redress yourself, if you are really wronged."

After a brief moment of astonishment, Sirius's eyes showed ecstasy: "Even if it costs me my life!"

"Harry, I can go see Harry...poor kid, I really don't know how he has lived all these years. He has never met me as his godfather."

Dumbledore looked at Sirius and shook his head indifferently.

"You will not be allowed anywhere near Harry until you complete my mission and prove yourself."

He waved the Elder Wand, and Sirius' whole body was transformed into a new one.

"I want you to help me find two things."

"Hufflepuff's golden cup, it should be with Bella Lestrange, she is your relative, find it for me."

"As for where it is..."

Dumbledore waved his wand again, and the door of a nearby cell opened. Inside, an unkempt woman screamed on the verge of madness. It was Bella Lestrange who was also imprisoned in Azkaban.

She floated up involuntarily, and Dumbledore's wand casually touched her eyebrows.

After a while, Bella Lestrange twitched all over and passed out.

Dumbledore threw her back into the cell, as if nothing happened, and said to Sirius: "Voldemort gave her the golden cup, and she hid it in a... You need the blood of the Lestrange family to find it. The place."

"A protective magic similar to the Red Loyalty Charm protects this location, which I cannot read."

"Black, your family has close ties with the Lestrange family. Maybe you can find this location. Help me find the gold cup. This is your first task."

Then he said again.

"Similarly, help me find the locket."

"Your brother, I remember him, was a child who went astray. But he repented in time and stole Slytherin's Locket from Voldemort."

"You can find some clues from the direction of your brother Regulus."

"Complete these two things, Blake, and I'll give you a chance to clear your name."

After speaking, Dumbledore threw a bag to Sirius, which contained a wand, food, water, and some coins.

"Let's go."

Dumbledore turned to leave.

Sirius hesitated, then remembered something.

"If I leave like this, will it cause you any trouble? What if the Ministry of Magic pursues me?"

Dumbledore said calmly.

"No one will remember what happened here."

"No one dares to remember."

Dumbledore turned around and left Azkaban, and soon returned to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

He opened a photo of a shy girl smiling at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Ariana..."

"Come on, come on. Once Voldemort is completely eliminated, I will be able to free my hands to clean up those filthy things."

"I regret exploring those taboo dark arts, regret meeting Grindelwald, regret incurring the indescribable terror, regret not discovering the nonsense echoing in your mind in time, regret that subsequent events will cause greater irritation to you... …”

"Those voices that have tortured you, I will make them regret reaching out to this world."
