Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

In contrast to the lively and warm Greengrass Manor, the Azkaban wizard prison on an isolated island in the North Sea looks desolate and miserable even at Christmas.

In other parts of the world, during festive seasons, even prisoners in prisons are happier than usual, because the guards will provide them with more sumptuous meals and the supervision will be slightly relaxed. But in Azkaban, this situation does not exist, even here some special Christmas food is provided to the prisoners.

But the jailers here do these things not out of humanitarian considerations.

The guards of the Wizarding Prison of Azkaban are not humans, but a group of dark creatures called dementors. No one knows how they are born, whether they die, or how they reproduce. They burst into the wizards' field of vision just like that.

Dementors were first known to wizards in the fifteenth century. At that time, Azkaban was still a private territory. A man named Extis occupied the island and built a fortress on it, where he plundered Muggles and tortured them to death.

After Extis died, the island's concealment magic failed, and the wizards discovered the magic cave. By this time, the island was already full of dementors.

After several conflicts with the dementors, the wizards had to admit that they could not do anything about them. Fortunately, they also found special effects spells to deal with the dementors, which led to the emergence of a conflict between the wizards and the dementors. A delicate balance: the wizards do not disturb the dementors and do not destroy the fortress where they live, and the dementors will not actively attack the wizards.

As for the Muggle fishing boats that accidentally strayed into this area and the Muggle towns settled on the seaside, they became victims. Dementors will go out and suck the happiness out of their souls.

Azkaban became a wizarding prison in 1718. After the promulgation of the "Statutory of Secrecy", wizards did not want dementors to come to Muggle territory to "prey" again. At the same time, there was a need to imprison wizard criminals in a centralized manner. The two parties hit it off immediately, and Damocles, the then Minister of Magic ·Under Roll's promotion, Azkaban was transformed into a wizarding prison.

No prisoner has ever escaped from here. Dementors will drain the last traces of happiness from the souls of prisoners, and then leave them waiting in despair for death.

The dementors will provide food for the prisoners here, and even distribute different types of food according to festivals. They have only one purpose: to inspire happiness in the souls of the prisoners so that they can have a full meal. However, no matter how much happiness is stimulated in the human soul, there is a limit. The prisoners now locked in Azkaban are as hard to squeeze out happiness as bagasse - most of the cell doors have not been touched. This can be seen on the dinner plate.

A small boat cut through the waves and headed towards the island where Azkaban was located.

There were four hooded people standing on the boat. They were washed onto the deck by the waves, but when they got close to them, they were bounced away silently. Although the four of them were in the ocean, their bodies were still dry and warm.

"It is said that a thousand years ago, Salazar Slytherin fought a deadly battle with Jormungandr in the North Sea. The sky was covered by Jormungandr's body, and the sea was torn open by Slytherin's spell. The sound can be heard even on the island of Islay in the south." A hooded man's thoughts drifted back to a thousand years ago with the waves.

"Jiminy (Gemini), can you concentrate on driving the boat?" An impatient female voice came from another hood: "Hurry up and complete the task. I am really unlucky to work on Christmas Eve!"

The woman's words resonated with the other two: No one wanted to go out to deal with the task on Christmas Eve, but there was no other way. Who made the four of them so unlucky that they won the lottery?

Besides, this is indeed a good opportunity for the Secret Order. The grand dinner held by the Greengrass family attracted too many people's eyes and attention, and they could just take advantage of this opportunity to do something small.

For the Secret Order, Hogwarts has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. They have lost too much power there and have too many treasures left there. They must find a way to get it back.

Every power that is hostile to Hogwarts should be used for them. Who is more suitable than Voldemort?

The senior leaders of the Secret Order have reached a consensus that they must find a way to resurrect Voldemort.

After launching an intelligence network investigation, the monks of the Secret Order determined that Voldemort achieved "immortality" through Horcruxes. It is not difficult to resurrect a wizard who made a Horcrux. The only difficulty is to find the location of his Horcrux. The people of the Secret Order found a suitable entry point: to find out the whereabouts of his Horcrux from Voldemort's followers. Clues.

All intelligence now points to two people: Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. The monks of the former secret order don't want to contact her yet, but the latter one is much easier to deal with because she was imprisoned in Azkaban.

The purpose of the four people's trip was to pry out the whereabouts of Voldemort's Horcruxes from Bella.

After a brief complaint, the four fell into silence again.

After a while, Gemini spoke again: "Since Dumbledore is so troublesome, why don't we wait until he dies of old age before plotting Hogwarts? He is over a hundred years old."

Pisces, Aries, Taurus:…

No one answered, and the boat suddenly became silent.

Gemini:?

Finally, Taurus spoke, slightly easing the awkward atmosphere on the ship: "When do you think he will die? This year, next year? Five years later? Ten years later? The organization cannot accept this uncertainty, and the remains must be recovered as soon as possible."

Most importantly, they were unable to determine whether Dumbledore used some means of extending his life. For a wizard of his level, it is not particularly difficult to extend his life, especially since he also has a friend named Nico Flamel.

Soon after, the boat arrived in Azkaban.

"The environment is really bad." After walking onto the island, Aries frowned: she hated the atmosphere here very much.

"Be quiet." Pisces, who had remained silent, scolded her and narrowed his eyes to look at the Azkaban Castle not far away.

At the same time, the dementors who felt the smell of fresh souls began to gather here. The air, which was already bone-chilling, became even colder due to their arrival, and the water vapor in the air wanted to freeze into ice.

Soon, a large number of dementors wearing torn robes surrounded the four people, but what surprised them was that they were completely unable to draw emotions from the four people. This was really strange.
