Chapter 247 Peter Pettigrew's Prison Break!

In the frigid waters of the North Sea, on a small island.

There is the most frightening place in Britain, the legendary Advanced Academy for Dark Wizards and the training class for Death Eaters——Azkaban Prison.

A stone building with a height of fifty meters stands here. There are no windows on the outer wall, only a few three-meter-high doors at the bottom, and two dementors stand outside each door.

There is a strong magical atmosphere on the wall, and there are many symbols of ancient runes, preventing the prisoner from escaping.

However, the upper level of the prison is just a small mess, and the prisoners inside are all prisoners who steal and sell second-hand cauldrons, smuggle prohibited items, or illegally raise magical animals.

When the number of people here is the most sufficient, at most only one-twentieth of the cells are inhabited.

After all, before it was discovered, it was a research institute built by the Wizarding Council to study dementors, so the upper floor was originally a room for researchers and members of the Wizarding Council.

And those prisoners who really committed serious crimes, such as powerful dark wizards or important members of the Death Eaters, were locked underground in Azkaban.

Deeper underground in Azkaban, there is a circle of cells.

The cells were extremely dirty, and each cell contained only a toilet, a stone bed covered with straw, and two empty bowls.

Two steel rings hung from the ceiling, from which chains hung, and the other end was chained to the prisoners in the cells, severely restricting their range of movement.

The prisoners in the cell are all skinny middle-aged and elderly men and women.

Their hair is disheveled, their bodies are covered with dust that has not been washed for an unknown amount of time, and their nails are long enough to be used as daggers.

The prisoners were all handcuffed and anklet-clad, and kept only one person in a cell, as if afraid of them cooperating with each other and breaking free.

The inmates in one of the prisons appeared to be in much better physical condition.

Of course, in comparison, his mental state is very bad, almost on the verge of collapse.

Peter Pettigrew was curling up on the slate bed without a quilt to prevent the chains from oppressing his body.

Probably to prevent him from turning into an Animagus and escaping, Peter Pettigrew had more chains than other prisoners, and the chains were engraved with unique ancient runes.

This is a good thing left by the wizard council, and it is a magic item specially aimed at masters of transfiguration.

Of course, Peter Pettigrew didn't want to get out of bed at all, even without restraints.

After all, there are a lot of his former colleagues living in this prison!

Pettigrew Peter still can't forget the crazy attitude of the group of Death Eaters around him when he entered Azkaban on the first day, he wanted to tear himself apart!

After all, Bellatrix Lestrange knew the true identity of Peter Pettigrew.

Originally, as Voldemort's important assistant and craziest follower, Bellatrix would not reveal the list of Death Eaters, nor would she tell others.

What if someone had a change of heart during this difficult prison life, no longer loyal to his master, and then leaked the list in exchange for freedom?

So she didn't even tell her colleagues the truth that Sirius was not a Death Eater, in order to avoid loopholes in her confession.

But when she saw Peter Pettigrew being sent to prison with layers of magic chains on his body, she immediately realized that Peter Pettigrew had been exposed.

So she simply told her colleagues the truth of the year.

And so came the days of Peter Pettigrew's misery.

Most Death Eaters believe that Peter Pettigrew is nosy, leaking the Potter family's address to his master, causing them to suffer here.

After all, in the perception of the Death Eaters, all of this was Dumbledore's trap. How could that little girl named Harry Potter be able to threaten the great Dark Lord? (Occasionally there are newspapers in the prison, so Halle's true gender is known. Few people know the prophecy.)

So Peter Pettigrew had to endure verbal abuse and threats every day, and his life was miserable.

He regrets it very much now, why did he seek refuge with Voldemort in the first place, why did he leak the address of the Potter family, why didn't he just escape from Hogwarts and fly away?

In the silence of day and night, regret gradually twisted and metamorphosed into hatred and fear.

Peter Pettigrew didn't dare to hate Voldemort, after all, the Dark Lord really knew how to kill people, and he would brutally kill himself.

He just hated his former friends, why did they force him to join the Order of the Phoenix, and didn't protect himself after he joined!

He hates Dumbledore, he claims to be the most powerful wizard, but he can't protect anyone!

He hated that damned Harry Potter, if it wasn't for her, how could he have fallen to this point!

But thinking of the great strength of these people, Peter Pettigrew felt deep fear and his own powerlessness.

I am just a humble mouse who can't see the sun, and doesn't deserve to see the sun. What qualifications do I have to be their enemy?

What Peter Pettigrew didn't know was that in his flesh and blood, there were gray and dark green rays of light spreading.

There are invisible lines on his heart, the same lines as a witch!

Just as Peter Pettigrew began to paralyze himself with fantasies, fantasizing that he was valued by his master and gained strength.

His spirit was suddenly in a trance, as if something was taking root and growing gradually.

When Peter Pettigrew came to his senses, the chains on his body had lost their magical luster and fell off to the ground.

Peter Pettigrew was extremely pleasantly surprised that he could transform into an Animagus! He had a chance to escape!

Peter Pettigrew turned into a mouse in an instant, and got out through the gap between the railings.

Regarding Peter Pettigrew's cell, like the others, the gaps between the bars are not shortened.

Apart from the magic that makes the iron pillar stronger, no other unknown magic is applied on it.

After all, the officials of the Ministry of Magic believed that the iron chains were enough to trap Peter Pettigrew, preventing him from turning into an Animagus form, so they didn't make too many arrangements at all.

And they didn't want to stay here even for a second longer. After all, most of the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic were pure-blooded nobles, so how could they stay here longer?

This allowed Peter Pettigrew to easily come to the corridor outside and change back into a human form.

"What am I going to do? By the way, I'm going to escape...I'm going to find my master...Only the master can save me..."

Peter Pettigrew stood in the corridor in a daze, trying to sort out the memories in his mind into lines.

He felt that he probably slept a little dazedly before, and was affected by the dementors, so his brain was not working well.

But soon, he sorted out his thoughts.

And in the surrounding cells, the inmates went wild after seeing Peter Pettigrew transform into a mouse, crawl through the bars, and then out again.

They are indeed loyal to their Dark Lord, but that doesn't mean they are willing to suffer here!

Not only because people at this level are too evil, they are also strong-willed, and they don't have much happiness to absorb.

So the dementors also chose to be lazy, and only came to station here when the Aurors were patrolling.

But this is also a great torture, which will have a great impact on the wizard.

Almost all the prisoners threw themselves on the railing, screaming frantically.

"Peter Pettigrew, you bastard, get me out!" Rodolphus Lestrange, the most vicious Death Eater, roared,

"Dead mouse, if you dare not let me out, I will kill you!"

And Death Eaters with better brains, like August Rookwood, who had worked in the Department of Mysteries, changed their tone of voice:

"Dear Peter, please let me out, only if we cooperate with each other can we escape from Azkaban!"

But they all have one thing in common - they are all howling desperately, wishing to break their throats.

Previously, as a traitor, Sirius had no evidence to show his special status among the Death Eaters, so he was locked up at the edge of the stairs closest to the entrance.

This also led to the fact that when Sirius escaped from Azkaban, no one noticed it at all, and it was not noticed until the Aurors patrolled.

And now, Peter Pettigrew is locked in the middle cell, no one ignores his escape, and no one wants to miss this precious opportunity.

However, Bellatrix roared angrily, "Shut up! Are you trying to attract the minions of the Ministry of Magic and the group of dementors!"

At the same time, several prisoners with relatively high IQs also reacted immediately, and cooperated with Bellatrix to stop the crazy actions of other colleagues.

After the room was completely quiet, Bellatrix stared at Peter Pettigrew, and finally said in a hoarse voice:

"Let us out, Peter Pettigrew! We can create chaos for you, which is more conducive to your escape from Azkaban!"

"No... no," Peter Pettigrew was filled with fear when facing Bellatrix, the murderous female devil, and almost agreed to her request.

But after a period of trance, Peter Pettigrew subconsciously rejected Bella Critus.

Seeing the crooked hair, muddy face, and skinny crazy woman in front of him, seeing the murderous light in her eyes, Pettigrew Peter hurriedly said:

"Respect... Honorable Lord Bellatrix Lestrange... It's not that I don't want to let you out... It's just that I don't have the ability to destroy these railings!"

Bellatrix frowned, and cursed casually: "Trash!"

Peter Pettigrew hurriedly leaned flatteringly in front of the railing, and said respectfully, "Lord Lestrange, please don't worry."

"I went to Lord Malfoy immediately after I was released from prison, and together with him, I searched for the master and restored the master's strength."

"Idiot! Is your mind full of shit?" Bellatrix was extremely angry, but lowered her voice and cursed,

"Malfoy is an idiot! That sister of mine is also a coward with no opinion!"

"If he wants to help the master, he has more than ten years! But he didn't do anything!"

"In this case, do you still want to go to him?"

Peter Pettigrew had a bitter face, he didn't dare to go to the terrifying Dark Lord alone.

But there was another trance in his mind, and he subconsciously said:

"Then I will go directly to the Albanian forest to find the owner. It has been rumored in the black market that the owner is hidden there."

"Idiot, hurry up!" Bellatrix spat thick phlegm on the ground beside her,

"We'll keep quiet and cover you!"

Peter Pettigrew nodded, turned into a mouse, and scrambled up the stairs.

Watching his gradually disappearing figure, the Death Eaters could only pray silently, hoping that the Dark Lord would bless Peter Pettigrew and let him succeed.

But when Peter Pettigrew came to the prison gate, he suddenly encountered difficulties.

After experiencing Sirius Black's escape, the Ministry of Magic warned the dementors who guarded the door and asked them not to be lazy.

So these dementors who usually go to the upper floors to steal food are now staying at the door, honestly on duty.

Peter Pettigrew anxiously turned around a few times, and finally seemed to remember something, and chose to go back to the stairway and hide.

...

Although the weather in Beihai is very good today, there is no sunshine on the island.

After all, a lot of magic has been applied to the small island, except for a small area opened up by the main entrance for the gate, no other places can be passed through.

The sky is also shrouded in invisible magic, and it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate in, making it gray here.

A small group of Aurors was bored in the house specially prepared for them at the door.

They were noble employees of the Ministry of Magic, how could they stay with the criminals next to the dementors?

What's more, there are criminals there, how many Galleons a month? What are you playing?

Going to inspect twice a day, their conscience will be fine.

At this time, two people were playing wizard chess, the other two were pointing and making suggestions, and the rest were reading newspapers or books.

An Auror suddenly complained: "Merlin's big pants, when will we get out of here on shift?"

"What are you thinking, Lukes?" An Auror who was playing wizard chess replied without raising his head.

"We've only been here for a week, and we'll be here for at least three more weeks... Bastard! Ogget! Don't play my tricks!"

The Auror named Roux looked at the clock on the wall, threw the Daily Prophet in his hand on the table, and stood up holding his wand:

"Captain, it's time for patrol!"

An Auror who was sleeping soundly on the sofa was awakened.

He turned over and sat up muttering, "Damn it, I hate patrols the most!"

"Who doesn't hate it?" someone replied loudly. "I'd like to strangle those dementors to death!"

After a while, the Aurors lazily assembled.

Captain Auror waved his hand and asked them to continue patrolling, while he continued to sleep here in the name of guarding the island gate.

The Aurors entered the castle cursing, and allocated floors for patrolling in the afternoon according to the outcome of the card game at noon.

An Auror named Orlister was assigned to the lowest level of prison.

He was very reluctant about this, but he could only accept the bet.

Orlister wobbled down the stairs, looked at the prisoners triumphantly, and insulted them from time to time.

It was the only fun he had while on patrol.

When he came to the stairway between the penultimate prison and the last prison, Orlister stopped and took a deep breath before he dared to go down.

As he walked, he muttered: "There are stairs under the lowest level of the prison, but they are blocked by magic, and I don't know what's inside..."

He was still talking to himself when he suddenly felt a pain in his head and passed out.

The figure of Peter Pettigrew appeared behind him.

He suddenly remembered just now that he seemed to have learned a very strong illusion from a certain black magic book.

This kind of illusion is not transfiguration, but it can achieve the same effect as transfiguration in appearance.

So a complete jailbreak plan emerged——

He evaded Orlister in mouse form, knocked him unconscious, and obtained his wand.

Then, Peter Pettigrew waved this not-so-handy wand, and uttered a series of spells.

His figure didn't change, but when he used the Galleon carried by the Auror as a mirror to observe his own image, the reflected image was Orlister's face.

Peter Pettigrew is confident of avoiding all the Aurors, but to be on the safe side, it's better for him to cast his magic in advance.

Then Peter Pettigrew quickly searched and took away all the belongings on Orlister's body, and changed into his clothes.

Afterwards, Peter Pettigrew walked up the stairs, carefully avoiding the patrolling Aurors.

There are a lot of stairs here, so with the keen sense of smell brought by the mouse, Pettigrew Peter successfully arrived at the gate.

He made up his mind and strode over.

The dementor at the door had no doubts at all, and directly opened the door for him.

After leaving the prison, Pettigrew quickly rushed to the house, ready to find the door key that could escape from here.

But when he opened the door, he suddenly found a sleeping Auror lying on the sofa!

At this time, Captain Auror was awakened by the door of the room that had been in disrepair.

He was still rubbing his eyes, while cursing angrily: "Which bastard? He came back so soon! Orlist?..."

"Damned!"

A red light streaked across the air, causing Captain Auror to lie down on the sofa again.

Peter Pettigrew quickly rushed over and searched out all the items on his body.

Immediately afterwards, Peter Pettigrew began to quickly rummage through the house.

After about fifteen minutes, there was a shout from downstairs: "Captain, we are back... Damn! Captain!"

At this time, Peter Pettigrew was also delighted.

He found the pass to leave Azkaban, a port key to leave here urgently!

Although Azkaban is located in the North Sea, only a special ship can come here.

The ship only sails once a month to replenish supplies on the island.

However, the Aurors have emergency means of leaving, and the Portkey in Pettigrew Peter's hand has no set activation time.

As long as you take it out of the box where it is kept and hold it, the Portkey will activate in a minute.

Peter Pettigrew grabbed the portkey and strained his ears to the commotion downstairs.

These Aurors probably woke up their captain and realized that someone wanted to escape.

Now they are rushing upstairs, and at the same time, someone is going to rescue their teammate, preventing that teammate from being swallowed by the dementor as a fugitive.

"Farewell, idiots!" Peter Pettigrew smiled unscrupulously, his figure distorted, and disappeared here.

He appeared in a house of the Ministry of Magic, and as soon as he appeared, the alarm bell rang outside the door.

After all, when everyone uses this Portkey, it means that there is an extremely urgent situation in Azkaban.

But Peter Pettigrew quickly sticks to the wall and turns into a mouse.

While the Aurors stationed outside the door rushed in, he quietly slipped out along the corner of the wall, and dodged the panicked crowd all the way to the room where he could Apparate.

The door to this room was still open, and there were still several Ministry of Magic employees preparing to leave.

Peter Pettigrew didn't hesitate, rushed over, and changed back into a human form under the eyes of everyone.

"He's Peter Pettigrew, catch him..." An employee reacted instantly, but Peter Pettigrew disappeared into the air before he finished speaking.
