The wedding was very late, and the party didn't end until the wee hours of the morning. Fortunately, everything went well at the wedding, and no one came to attack them, and there was no news of the fall of the Ministry of Magic.

However, because he was a little tired from playing the day before, Ryan didn't get up until nine o'clock in the morning the next day. After tidying up in a hurry and going to the kitchen to eat a sandwich, Professor Dumbledore came from outside.

"Ah, Albus, would you like some sandwiches? We slept a little late yesterday, so we ate a lot later this morning," Mrs. Weasley asked Professor Dumbledore.

"No need for now, I just need a cup of hot tea." Professor Dumbledore took a sip from the teacup handed over by Mrs. Weasley. "Your craftsmanship is really good, especially today we are going to a very cold place. It would be very good to have a cup of hot tea before that. By the way, Ryan, I suggest you wear more clothes later."

After drinking hot tea and saying goodbye to the people in the room, Dumbledore greeted Ryan and set off. After leaving the Burrow yard they followed the path for a while, and then passed through the hedge to a clearing.

"Okay, I think there should be no one around." After looking around, Professor Dumbledore took out a black iron coin from his pocket. Ryan saw a skull pattern embossed on the iron coin. "This is the special portkey for going to Azkaban. That place is protected by complex magic. Only this kind of special portkey can go there. Ah, it's time now, put your hands on it."

Ryan put his finger on the iron coin as promised, and after another familiar feeling of weightlessness, Ryan found himself on a small black island with no grass growing, and Professor Dumbledore stood beside him.

"Is this Azkaban?" Ryan looked up at a triangular black castle a few hundred meters away. That castle stood on another independent island and occupied the territory of the entire island. Only facing the small island where they are now settled, there is a slightly protruding land that is not occupied by buildings. Based on the trestle stretching out to the sea on that land and the two black wooden boats, Ryan can be sure that it is Azer The entrance to Caban.

Even a few hundred meters away from the real castle, Ryan could feel the strong negative emotions emanating from that castle. Even after the fusion of those negative emotions and the special local magical environment, a thick haze formed around the castle, even now the morning sunlight could not penetrate that haze.

The interior of the castle was also covered with no sunlight all day long due to the thick layer of smog. Ryan could see dim lights in the windows of the castle made of black stones. However, after careful inspection, he found that the lights on the lower floor of the castle were much brighter than those on the upper floor.

"The people in the Ministry of Magic have changed one crop after another, and they always refused to transfer the dementors from Azkaban. Even after most of the dementors defected last time, I wrote to them and they told me that only Some dementors defected, and those who stayed in Azkaban are reliable." Principal Dumbledore looked at the direction Ryan was looking at and said in an angry tone, "Fortunately, I didn't know what happened a while ago. Most of the dementors disappeared at once. The survivors only dared to hide on the top floor of the castle, which made us a lot easier."

After speaking, Dumbledore threw the black iron coin in his hand into a black stone basin filled with silver liquid. Immediately, a small black wooden boat docked on the trestle at the gate of Azkaban left the trestle and drove towards the island. After the boat docked, Ryan and Principal Dumbledore boarded the boat. After sitting firmly, Dumbledore tapped the side of the boat with his wand,

The boat quickly turned around and drove towards Azkaban Castle.

The closer he got to the castle, the more depressed Ryan felt, especially after standing at the gate of the castle, the towering black walls were like a cliff, giving people great mental pressure. This may be because the whole building was originally designed to intimidate people who entered the castle. In addition, the wailing of countless prisoners at the end of hundreds of years and the camping of dementors caused a lot of negative energy to gather in the castle. Here, after mixing with magic power, it naturally gives people an extremely depressing feeling.

"Hello, we picked Lucius Malfoy out of prison. This is the release certificate issued by the Ministry of Magic. I think the Ministry of Magic should have notified you of this in the morning." After walking to the gate of the castle, Dumbledore knocked on the iron door. The iron door quickly opened a small hole at the height of the human eye. Professor Dumbledore immediately stated his purpose and handed in a rolled-up parchment.

"Okay, come in." Dozens of seconds later, the man reappeared behind the door after checking the documents, and opened the castle door for Ryan and Dumbledore with his wand. As a fortress, the door of Azkaban is not big, and it can accommodate at most two people entering side by side. But the doorway was very deep and very dark. After Ryan walked in the door, he couldn't even see the exit of the doorway for a while.

Fortunately, the wizard who opened the door for them lit up his wand, and then led them into the castle. He said while leading the way. "The job on duty in Azkaban is really terrible. If I hadn't been so tight before, I wouldn't have come here to do this—"

After walking for five or six minutes, Ryan and the others came to a hall. Contrary to imagination, the style of this hall does not match the overall style of Azkaban at all. Under the soft light, several soft milky white sofas are placed around the fireplace, and a row of bookshelves are placed against the wall, which are full of books. There is a thick red carpet on the floor, and there is an iron shelf in the corner, with several beautiful plants placed on it.

There were two wizards sitting on the sofa playing wizard chess. When they heard the door open, they looked up and saw Professor Dumbledore.

"Principal Dumbledore, it's a pleasure to meet you today." A witch with short hair greeted warmly. "Are you here to—"

"Professor Dumbledore is here to handle the bail procedures for Lucius Malfoy." The middle-aged wizard who brought Ryan and the others said, "Susan, you can get some hot tea for Professor Dumbledore. Peter, you Use the two-way mirror to inform the patrolling Albert and the others. Tell them to bring Lucius Malfoy over."

"This place seems to be different from when I came here before." Dumbledore and Ryan sat on the sofa facing the fireplace. After receiving the teacup and thanking him, Dumbledore directly asked the middle-aged man who received him just now. wizard. "At least when I came here two years ago, I remember the house as a dark stone hall with water dripping from the ceiling."

"You're right." The middle-aged wizard said just now, "This house and the two dormitories next to it were repaired only a few months ago. After most of the dementors disappeared completely, magic The Ministry can only let us Aurors and strikers make up for the personnel gap. We have three Aurors and six strikers and are divided into three teams. Usually, one team patrols, one team rests and serves as a backup force, and the other sleeps. But because The environment in Azkaban is too harsh, we can only persevere if we try our best to make rest and living places better."

"At the beginning, the Ministry of Magic didn't want to spend this money, because the people who are willing to come here are usually bitch wizards or half-blood wizards." The young witch named Susan said very angrily. "Fortunately, we collectively said that we would refuse to come here if there is no corresponding protection, and they couldn't find anyone who could replace us. In the end, we had to grit our teeth and spend money to prepare this for us."

"I have repeatedly told the Ministry of Magic that Azkaban does not need dementors. Evil creatures like dementors can only be Voldemort's helpers. But magic never accepts my statement." Dumbledore said.

After hearing the word Voldemort, the two Ministry of Magic personnel in front of them trembled, and then the middle-aged wizard said, "But it's much better than before. When I sent the prisoner here, I was all over my body at the door." Shivering, now you only get that feeling when you go to those felon cells with dementors on the top floor."

"Boom—boom, boom." Just as Dumbledore was talking with the person in charge of Azkaban, there were two long knocks, two short knocks, and three knocks on the other door of the hall. The middle-aged wizard nodded apologetically to Dumbledore, and then walked to the door holding his wand.

"Lightning." The middle-aged wizard shouted.

"Thunder." A thick voice came from outside the door, and then the door opened, a wizard with gray sideburns walked to the front at once, and two wizards behind walked in with Lucius Malfoy in prison uniform between them. .
