204 Chapter 203- Azkaban

BELLATRIX'S POV

Many people don't know what it's like to be near a Dementor.

Everyone know about the depression- Dementors suck happiness.

What they don't know is how the despair that they bring with them affect the people who are exposed to those monsters.

In her more sane moments, when the Dementors are far enough, Bellatrix can appropriate the ingenuity of putting those monsters as cell guards, as the need to stay away from them, little by little grows into an obsession, and once someone finishes their sentence, they would do anything to stay away from jail.

Yes, Bellatrix would do anything to get away from this place, even betray the dark lord.

In all honesty, her loyalty to the dark lord as her lord wasn't as blind as the rumors suggested.

The reasons she joined the Dark lord were many.

Her husband was in it when they got married, she thought the Dark lord would win and her parents taught her to believe in the Pureblood movement and she wanted to fulfill it.

Oh sure, she loves violence, killing and other things that by the eyes of society seem twisted, but there was no need to join the Death Eaters to do that, just kidnap some muggle and do it just as her ancestors have done before her.

The only reason she seem so loyal is that she was sure it's a test.

There was no way the Dark lord has died, She was sure of it, after all, he made a horcrux.

Yes, she was sure the Dark lord did it as a loyalty test, to see who would betray him at the first sight of losing.

This thought of her's disappeared after the first week in Azkaban, replaced by despair that came from within as well as outside as she understood no one was coming for her.

So maybe it was wrong to say she would even betray the Dark lord, as her loyalty was never his, but she would do anything to get out, anything.

Of course, those thoughts grew smaller and smaller in number once he Dark Mark flared to life, as those were replaced by thoughts of the Dark Lord freeing her, and the true, unquestioned loyalty She would have toward him when he does.

It took Beatrix a moment to notice her thoughts has become more complicated than they were in years, at least since the minister has come to inspect the prison a long time ago, which could only mean that someone has arrived at the prison with a patronus.

Becoming alert, Bellatrix slowly moved her body toward the one thing she tried to be as far away as possible from four years, the bars.

She could see a few other inmates have done the same thing before her, most of them newer to the place, but her brother-in-low was also among them.

Looking toward her left side, she could see the silver glow grow as a wolf like patronus came closer to her cell, and a swarm of what looked like bees followed it.

She could see that each cell that the swarm passed has got a bee get inside and the person inside was either knocked out or dead a moment later.

Bellatrix should have started to plan, should have used the time before the patronus reached her cell to think of a way to survive.

But she was so tired, and if those things are the way she is going to die, then at least she wouldn't have to suffer one more day of this hell.

As a bee sting her and she could feel herself start to lose consciousness, she couldn't help but whisper "Thank you."

HARRY'S POV

Getting into Azkaban was extremely easy for a couple of reasons.

The first is the lack of security.

Azkaban, with the exception of the inmates, is human free.

The food is brought to the cells by use of house elves who switch the air with food just like the Hogwarts elves do, the security is done by Dementors, and the little cleaning that's been done here is by the low level prisoners in here, who clean fire a reduced sentence.

Sure, Dementors are the perfect creatures to make almost every thought of escaping look doomed from the start, but with two escapes in less than 10 years, one of which is known to use the Dementors inability to see and their use of life force as a measurements in its place to escape, so shouldn't anyone think of strengthening this glaring weakness of the prison by stationing a few people there?

The answer to anyone who would date ask this question to anyone in the ministry who works in relation to Azkaban would be "Sure, you are hired."

No one wants to work in this cursed place, which is why, even though there is a job opening as the head of the department of Azkeban for the last two hundred years, there is no one in it.

The second reason this whole trip was easy, is because Harry had the minister, who was still under the imperious, sign an order for the release of every inmate, so technically, if you don't consider the use of imperious, everything he does here is legal.

The third reason was the simplest of all, and the main one why Harry decided to join Voldemort on the travels, Grayback, or as he decided to finally name the werewolf-turned-patronus, Silverback.

Silverback, after many testing, was decidedly, a patronus with the ability to sustain itself indefinitely, as it contain not only the magic of Grayback, but also the energy of his flesh and blood turned into energy.

The amount of energy silverback actually contains is enough for it to fight Dementors for a year constantly before fading away.

With that much energy, Harry wanted to experiment on that.

Dementors, as pure spiritual beings, are immune to most magical spells, as only a few are purely spiritual, and even those that are, even less have a negative effects on Dementors.

The patronus, on the other hand, is capable of hurting them, but it also consumes a lot of energy.

And energy is something silverback doesn't miss.

What Harry wanted to know, is whether or not his mistake created the first Dementor-killing patronus.

And the answer to that was a big yes.

It took for them knocking out 13 inmates before a dementor came to stop them, and 27 for one of the dementors who looked from the side in fear of Silverback was unable to stop itself to come and fight with the patronus.

It was vicious, the way the Patronus ripped the dementor apart, it's silver light shined sharply on its claws as like a knife it slashed on the Dementor cloak revealing what lays underneath.

Nothing.

It was like pure darkness, but at the same time like the shadow little kids get scared from at night, which, when they lit the room find it's only a tree.

Yet, once the light of silverback reached the inside of the cloak, the big darkness of nothing seem to change into a green smoke shaped as a person, and inside the smoke whispers could be heard.

If Harry wasn't wrong, the green smoke appears in another place, the arch of death in the department of mysteries.

If Harry didn't have stuff he needed to finish, he would have probably tried to study the smoke on the spot, maybe have silverback attack another dementor as this dementor disappeared, leaving behind a cloak Harry immediately had put in a containment box.

After the incident, the dementors made sure to stay away from us, as me and silverback continued going through the prison, me and Voldemort still as invisible as the second we walked in and silverback with the robotic bees behind him, going into each cage and using their strings to release draught of living death into their bodies before turning into portkeys and transferring the unconscious prisoners to the Malfoy manor.

The reason Harry even 'rescued' the prisoners, is because of his plans for the future.

Even with all the advances the Wizarding world is going through with the help of the twins, Luna and him, Harry knew it would be stopped the moment it becomes too much.

The purebloods have the governing ministry in their pocket, Dumbledore and the Potters have the muggleborns and poor in their's and those in between didn't care either way.

Harry on the other hand, only have one advantage on all of them right now, Voldemort.

As Harry controls the 'dark lord', he has the ability to lead the pureblood movement for now, but not only is the fear that holds the purebloods not enough to last, as the Voldemort Harry use is a golem who can't use as much energy as the real Voldemort could, making the people eventually suspicious, Harry would also need an army of his own in the end, one that is loyal and is willing to do anything for him.

And who is better to brainwash than the criminals who spent years drowning in despair?

No one.

Lupin might be loyal after his entire memory has been replaced by one of worship, but even fanatic worshippers can always lose their faith.

But the soldiers that will come out of those people?

They will be the best soldiers to use as to create the new world Harry dreams of.

A world of opportunity with him as the emperor.
