The wizard in Hogwarts is unscientific

Chapter 437 The basement of Azkaban

Entering Azkaban Prison, Andy shivered immediately, and a sense of eeriness followed him.

It was cold, damp, and there was a strange smell in the air.

What's even more frightening is that perhaps too many people have suffered inhuman torture here over the years. As soon as he walked in here, Andy felt a lingering despair and emptiness.

This feeling makes Azkaban look like a ghost castle.

Even without the Dementors, Andy felt that his happy emotions were gradually leaving him.

“The atmosphere is great!”

Andy complained, and then continued walking deeper.

The corridor was quiet and there was no sound at all.

The surrounding walls are made of black stones. These stones seem to absorb all the light, making the entire corridor look eerie and silent.

After walking around a corner, Andy finally saw a cell.

The prisoners in the cell were wearing tattered and extremely dirty prison uniforms, and their long hair was hanging down in strands, making it difficult to see the prisoner's appearance.

He was huddled in the corner, as motionless as a dead man. Although the person is still awake, he seems to have lost his thinking and consciousness, like a dying living dead.

Andy stared at the man for a moment.

"horrible……"

It is indeed a terrible thing to be here.

The dementors outside sucked away all their happy emotions. If they occasionally recalled some happy past events, the dementors would rush in and feast.

When you live here, you either recall the painful past, or you don't think about anything and empty your mind.

"No wonder Sirius said that most of the prisoners in Azkaban have gone crazy."

Andy thought to himself: "Without happiness and hope, even thinking has become a luxury."

Occlumency might help a little.

However, Occlumency is a very unpopular magic, and few people in the magic world can practice it to an advanced level.

Andy ignored this and continued to explore Azkaban.

The benefits of the Ministry of Magic letting dementors guard Azkaban can be said to be clearly revealed at this moment.

Especially for Andy.

Dementors have simple minds, so in order to allow dementors to move freely in Azkaban Prison, there are basically no doors in the corridors - Andy can be said to have unimpeded access here.

A big black dog can escape from it.

A cat can naturally walk in from the outside.

The Ministry of Magic obviously did not learn from Sirius's escape from prison. When they learned that Sirius relied on Animagus to deceive the dementors, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Andy walked down the stairs to the top of Azkaban.

Peter Pettigrew was also imprisoned here, and there were four beaters guarding the door of the cell - Andy only glanced at the stairs from a distance and did not dare to walk up.

Four batters... If they teamed up with Snape, Andy felt that his side still had some chance of winning.

But being able to beat him doesn't mean he can be rescued.

After all, there are still so many dementors outside, and Aurors and strikers from the Ministry of Magic will rush over at any time to support them.

In contrast, using the door key to save people outside is more certain.

The most important thing is that rescuing people outside will not put yourself in danger-even if you fail, you can still use the door key to escape.

As for the layout of the eighth floor...

Andy took a look from a distance. There was nothing here except cells.

"That's right! Even if Extis did leave some research information behind, it would have been taken away by people from the Ministry of Magic."

Andy walked downstairs a little disappointed.

Hundreds of years have passed, and unless Andy can find the hidden room, there are basically no secrets here.

But the hidden room…

The Ministry of Magic had been searching here for so long, and they only transformed Azkaban into a wizarding prison after determining that there were no risks.

Even if there really is a hidden room here, Andy won't be able to discover it anytime soon.

"Alas!" Andy sighed.

Come with hope and leave with disappointment.

But this time, he gained a lot of knowledge. At least Andy has visited Azkaban.

Andy planned to walk around the basement one more time. After the tour, he would meet up with Snape at the agreed place.

As for what Snape did... Although Andy was curious, Snape obviously wouldn't tell Andy.

Follow the stairs all the way to the basement entrance.

"Is there a door?"

Andy was stunned when he saw this, and then he was happy.

Dementors can open doors, but the door in front of them is obviously no ordinary door. Andy was convinced that it would be impossible to open it with the Dementor's ability.

Because this door has strong magical protection.

Andy looked around.

"No one is...fine!"

Andy quickly returned to his human form, and then took out the bottle of smell-masking potion from his pocket as quickly as possible, opened it, and took a sip.

Taking out the wand and tapping it lightly on himself, Andy became invisible again.

"call--"

Taking a breath, Andy waited quietly for a while.

Andy was relieved when he saw that the dementors didn't move.

"Next... is this door!" Andy pressed the tip of his wand against the door, trying to analyze the defensive magic on the door.

It is easy to crack, but the hard thing is to recover after cracking.

Last semester, in order to explore the old house of the Gaunt family, Andy read a lot of books on magic traps and defensive magic, and learned a lot of useful things.

If the defensive magic on the door could be restored, Andy planned to go in and have a look.

Since dementors are prohibited from entering the basement, Andy believes that there must be many things in there that cannot be taken away.

In terms of the layout of the castle, the top floor of Azkaban should be where Extis lives and moves. And the basement... he might turn it into a prison for Muggles.

Of course, it could also be a laboratory!

About five minutes later, Andy took back his wand, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

With a flick of the wand in Andy's hand, the big iron door leading to the basement made a 'click, click, click' sound.

squeak——

A harsh sound sounded, and the large iron door opened a gap.

The defensive magic on the door is fairly simple.

After all, for many years, no one has been able to break into Azkaban, and no one has been able to escape from here.

This iron door only needs to protect against dementors.

Andy opened the iron door to a gap large enough for people to pass through, and then walked in carefully.

As the glow of the fluorescent spell lit up, Andy looked around at the layout of the basement.

There is a long corridor. There is a black iron door at intervals on both sides of the corridor. There is also a small window on the iron door, which allows people to see the situation inside from the outside.
