Hogwarts Homecoming

After a series of slight explosions, many figures appeared in the black circular room. All the Death Eaters who had just gathered at Malfoy Manor appeared here.

Like Malfoy, they all put on black cloaks and buried their faces in the hoods.

After the Death Eaters landed, they immediately alerted the surroundings. When they confirmed that the surrounding environment was safe, they stopped making a commotion one by one.

Malfoy was the commander of this operation. After counting the number of people, he looked at Bode, and the latter did not delay and walked directly into the light door in front of him.

There was nothing to panic or fear here.

He waved to the silent Death Eaters, and Malfoy followed in.

The moment he stepped into the door, Lucius was shocked to find that he seemed to have entered a world of only light.

He stood still, but the linear light flowed backwards at a very high speed, and he seemed to be rushing forward at an unimaginable speed.

Before he could panic, the light in front of him suddenly disappeared. Lucius stumbled forward two steps before he stood firm. When he looked up, Bode appeared in his sight again.

The people behind him followed one after another, and while waiting, Lucius looked around the room.

This was a rectangular secret room. Like the corridor outside, it was built with rough rocks, and the golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling made the room much brighter than the outside.

The room was empty, and the most eye-catching thing was the stone badge placed on a brass tray on a stone platform in the middle of the room.

"The Hogwarts badge is really weird!"

Just like Lucius' reaction when he saw that thing, some of the Death Eaters who came in later exclaimed,

"Why is there such a thing here?"

"If I remember correctly, Box, you seem to have been in Azkaban"

"You are indeed right, Nott."

Box looked at the slightly hunched old Nott and said coldly,

"But in order to keep it secret, the Ministry of Magic asked all the wizards detained in Azkaban to go there with their eyes blindfolded. I didn't see anything!"

Seemingly realizing that he had offended his colleagues, old Nott nodded to apologize,

"I No offense, Box, it's just--"

"I think you should know that this is not the time for small talk."

Lucius glared at Box and Nott sternly, then looked at Bode standing beside the brass tray,

"Is this the key to Azkaban?"

Bode nodded,

"Yes, but every time before using it, it needs to be approved by the Minister of Magic, otherwise, it will not work."

The atmosphere became tense at a visible speed. In the not particularly spacious stone room, the Death Eaters moved slowly, and they surrounded the brass tray and the Hogwarts school badge inside. The person behind put his hand on the shoulder of the person in front, and the person in front stretched out his hand, with his fingertips a few inches away from the school badge, and their eyes fell on Bode's face.

"Count down to three, and then touch the key together."

Bode said in a tone without a trace of ripples.

After a pause of a few seconds, seeing that no one raised any doubts, Bode raised three fingers,

"Three, two, one!"

Clang!

In an instant, the world changed.

Lucius found that the world in front of him suddenly blurred, and all the people and objects in his vision had several layers of double images. The strong feeling of fainting and vomiting tortured his nerves.

After dozens of seconds, the faces of the Death Eaters who fell to the ground finally looked better.

"I finally know why they blindfolded me when they brought me here. Ugh!"

The Death Eater named Box was still retching while holding the wall, but Lucius screamed miserably after seeing everything in front of him. He jumped up and pressed his wand against Bode's temple.

"What's going on? Why are we still here?"

Many Death Eaters also found that they were still in the small room in the Department of Mysteries, and the brass tray and stone school badge in front of them were still in their original positions!

One after another, the Death Eaters took out their wands, and Box shouted angrily at old Nott,

"There's something wrong with your Imperius Curse!"

"That's impossible!"

Nott cried out in grievance,

"He's still under the control of the Imperius Curse, I can feel it!"

Nott's sureness made Lucius look suspicious,

"What's going on?"

Lucius questioned Bode.

"This is a two-way door key, with the same spatial coordinates on both sides for positioning--"

Bode, who was pointed at by many wands, said calmly,

"We have arrived in Azkaban."

Then, ignoring the threat of the wand, he squeezed through Crabbe and Goyle and came to the position where they appeared when they entered the room.

Bode stretched out a finger and drew an inexplicable track on the rough wall, just like the goblins in Gringotts opened the vault door.

Where his fingertips passed, white light lit up on the wall, and then the light turned into a crack and shrank in all directions. In the blink of an eye, a doorway appeared in front of all the Death Eaters.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

The air that rushed into the room was mixed with a strong smell of the sea. The biting cold that was carried into the room made the Death Eaters' faces turn blue, and they all shivered at the same time.

"That's right."

Box said tremblingly,

"That's what it feels like. It's Azkaban out there."

Azkaban is a sharp weapon in the hands of the British Ministry of Magic. Except for one or two exceptions, everyone will be frightened when they hear this place!

"follow me--"

Bode turned back to the Death Eaters and walked directly into the darkness outside the doorway.

"etc!"

Lucius's face suddenly changed,

"Those dementors, you."

Seeing Bode disappear, the shocked Death Eaters quickly chased him out.

Outside the room was a wet stone staircase that pointed upwards. It was obvious that they should be underground now.

The stone stairs were not long, and the Death Eaters who lit up their wands and ran up the stairs reached the ground in ten seconds -

There are no stars in Azkaban.

What the Death Eaters felt using their senses was the cold and the sound of violent waves hitting the shore not far away.

Thumb, thump, thump--

The sounds of many teeth chattering came together to form a funny sound.

The boundless darkness in front of them and the uncontrollable deep fear rising from the bottom of their hearts made more and more Death Eaters let their wands shine.

Many bright white lights gathered together, and finally, they saw a gray-black building directly in front of them. It was very tall, even taller than the tallest tower in Hogwarts.

The walls of the tower are inlaid with many small windows from top to bottom. Judging from the size, it is more appropriate to describe them as holes.

The bright light illuminated the ground, and some people were horrified to find that from here to the high tower, the rugged ground was littered with bones. Most of them were cattle and sheep. It could be seen from the open mandibles of these animals that their The death process was decidedly unpleasant.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is definitely not these bones, but the dementors.

Lucius's gaze penetrated the dark space and landed on the monsters wearing black cloaks swimming in mid-air around the tower.

The moment he saw them clearly, Lucius suddenly felt a cold hand penetrate his chest, hold his stomach, and knead it wantonly. The chill in his soul almost froze his body. Thoughts.

The moment they saw the dementors, the dementors also discovered this group of uninvited guests.

When the black cloud formed by hundreds of dementors gathered together pressed down, the Death Eaters seemed to see the sky falling.

"I can't stand it anymore, I want to get out of here!"

Box's heart was completely destroyed by fear. He screamed and backed away, but he forgot that there was a staircase behind him and fell directly. After a jingling bell, the movement disappeared completely.

"Who can save me? I want it."

Someone in the Death Eater team began to sob and waved his wand in panic.

"Call the gods to protect you."

Nothing happened, not even a trace of silver mist appeared.

"Avada Kedavra"

Old Crabbe shouted in a wet voice, but only a few green sparks came out of the tip of his staff.

The water vapor in the space where a large group of Dementors flew condensed into tiny ice particles. These ice particles dyed the space white. They quickly approached the Death Eaters. Lucius even saw in despair the ice particles sticking out from under the black cloak. A pair of gray-white, sinisterly shining hands, covered with mucus and spots!

"Where is that thing!"

Nott finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at Bode,

"That thing the Dark Lord said can restrain the Dementors, take it out quickly!"
