Chapter 517 514. Transfer
In a deep sea in northern Europe, there stands an unknown dark island.
The island was once the home of an obscure wizard in the 15th century.
Although he is not well-known in the wizarding and Muggle worlds, he is a powerful dark wizard.
He built his fort here, and took pleasure in killing sailors and crews passing by in the surrounding seas.
All the wizards who knew him thought he was mad, and no one dared to provoke him.
It wasn't until his death that the island's mana slowly weakened until it was discovered by the British Ministry of Magic.
It is said that the dementors in Europe first appeared on this island.
These monsters have merged with the island's fortress, and anyone who destroys the fortress will suffer their crazy revenge.
It is precisely for this reason that the Ministry of Magic's many plans to destroy this evil island have all ended in failure.
Ultimately, the island was only planned to be converted into a wizarding prison after a wizard named Damocles Rolle became Minister for Magic.
And the dementors living on the island naturally became the prison's natural jailers.
So the island has its own name - Azkaban.
And now in this notorious wizard prison, the number of dementors is long gone.
Because of a little-known Hogwarts student union president, in a Quidditch match, the dementor population in the entire UK was cut in half.
And it was through this opportunity that Leon, who was already deeply rooted in the Auror Command of the Ministry of Magic, took the opportunity to completely infiltrate this wizard prison.
Let it be completely controlled by dementors before, and the system of wizard surveillance has been transformed into a prison system with British Aurors as the main body and dementors as the supplement.
And now, the largest number of prisoners in the entire Azkaban is the vast majority of pure-blood family members in the British magic world who were arrested a year ago for participating in the resurrection plan of the mysterious person.
Lucius Malfoy has been in this prison for almost a year.
He used to be aristocratic, elegant and personable, but now he is haggard, sallow and emaciated, as if he has suffered a lot in this prison.
But in a situation like his, he hadn't been tortured much in Azkaban.
Due to the sharp decline in dementors, their torture of wizards has become less severe than before.
There are still enough prisoners, but the number of dementors is reduced by half. This is undoubtedly a lot of rations for them.
And for the dark wizards imprisoned here, it is even more fortunate.
But although the torture has been reduced, the remaining dementors will still get rations from them, and feed on the remaining hope and happiness in the hearts of these prisoners.
But although Malfoy has been tortured by these dementors for almost a year, he is still full of hope for the future.
When he was in prison, the memory of the girl Tom in his mind had been completely cleared by the saints.
So now he couldn't figure out why he was in a daze at the time, so he and a group of shrewd fools participated in a hopeless and reasonless resurrection plan for a mysterious person.
In the end, he was packed up by the Aurors and taken into this prison.
But current Oro director Leon gives them hope.
Malfoy and the others were not like those before, the Death Eaters who escaped from prison and were captured were kissed by dementors.
It is an additional sentence. After serving three years in Azkaban, they will be released back into the magic world.
Of course, the conditions they paid were also heavy.
1/3 of the positions originally controlled by each family in the Ministry of Magic were handed over.
After their sentences are over and they are released, another 1/3 of their positions need to be transferred.
The transfer of power is undoubtedly cutting the flesh of their pure-blooded families.
But they are very clear that if they don't agree to Leon's conditions, then they will probably stay in this prison for the rest of their lives until they are completely drained by the dementors.
It would be better to be kissed by these monsters directly, and it will be over once and for all.
The area of the North Sea where Azkaban is located is shrouded in thick fog all the year round, 365 days a year, and the sun can hardly be seen for a few days.
The only thing that can tell the time is the wall clock in the prison.
And early this morning, a distinguished Ministry of Magic official was boarded in this prison.
Within the last year, the eminent head of the Auror Command - Phillips Lyon.
As soon as he landed on the island of Azkaban, he asked the Aurors stationed on the island to gather together all the Death Eaters who presided over the resurrection plan of the black mysterious man a year ago.
Malfoy and the others were gathered in a small room.
Leon sat lazily at a long table, waiting for them quietly.
After all the people were gathered, he squinted his eyes, stood up and said with a smile on his face.
"Everyone has lived here for the past year, so it's not bad?"
His tone was cordial and friendly, as if he was warmly greeting an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.
However, the Death Eaters below were silent. Each of them knew very well that under the man's amiable smile, there was a tiger face with fangs.
Leon didn't seem to care about their silence, and he continued to speak slowly.
"I know that you all don't want to see me very much, but I am here today to announce a good thing to you."
"Because of the large influx of prisoners in Azkaban during this period and the decrease in the number of dementors, there is a shortage of guards on the island."
"Therefore, Mr. Barty Crouch, the former director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the current director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, proposed to build a new wizarding prison in Northern Ireland to detain the less serious crimes and A wizard criminal with a shorter sentence."
"There you won't be tormented by dementors anymore, and you won't live such a dark life, where there is sunshine, grass and breeze, and wonderful butterbeer and coffee."
"And what you have to do every day is nothing more than some insignificant labor and ideological remolding."
"Originally, the Ministry of Magic did not intend to approve Mr. Crouch's proposal because of budgetary problems. But a generous German businessman, Mr. Alfred John, was willing to sponsor the prison, and now the prison has been built. complete."
"You guys are lucky to be selected as the first batch of "guests" to settle in this new prison."
