Chapter 1560 Return to Azkaban

"Okay!" Harry hesitated, and finally took the small bottle of Felix Elixir, "Be careful, it's up to you tonight, Hermione, watch Ginny, goodbye... .”

Then he was gone, hurrying through the portrait hole toward the hall.

As soon as Ivan and Dumbledore came to the foyer, they saw Harry running down the stairs in a hurry, sweating profusely.

"I want you to wear the Invisibility Cloak." Dumbledore said, "Yes, Ivan, you too."

When they were all on, he said, "Very well, let's go!"

Dumbledore immediately descended the stone steps, his traveling cloak barely moving in the still air of the summer night.

Ivan followed, and he could feel Harry beside him, still panting heavily.

"Professor, what do people think when they see you out?" Harry asked, still thinking about Malfoy and Snape.

"I go to Hogsmeade for a drink," said Dumbledore lightly. "I sometimes go to Rosmer Tower, or the Hog's Head pub...or pretend to be there, it's a cover A good way to have a real destination.”

"When you were not in school this semester, were you in Azkaban?" Aiwen asked.

"Being there most of the time, cracking that magic."

"Then how did you stay in Azkaban without being discovered?" Ivan continued to ask.

Ever since the dementors rebelled and immediately Azkaban, it has been completely taken over by wizards from the Ministry of Magic.

Rufus Scrimgeour searched for news about Dumbledore all over the world, and even came to Ivan and Harry to set up news. If he knew that Dumbledore had been in Azkaban for so long, he still hadn’t given up on the island. Turn the whole thing over to find what Dumbledore wanted.

Since it has been so long, Scrimgeour and the Ministry of Magic have done nothing, which means that no one has discovered that Dumbledore is doing these things under their noses.

"A magic to hide the figure." Dumbledore replied, "It's actually not too difficult. The Ministry of Magic is not enough manpower now. They can only guard the important control card of Azkaban, instead of completely controlling it like the dementors." It may not be easy to enter the prison, but sneaking into the island quietly, as long as you are careful, you will not be discovered."

Well, as long as Dumbledore wanted to, he could go anywhere he wanted.

They walked forward quickly and walked out in the dense night.

The air smelled of grass, of tide, and of wood-burning smoke from Hagrid's cabin.

These smells are not unpleasant, but soothing and reassuring, and it is hard to believe that they are going to do something dangerous and frightening.

"Professor, shall we Apparate to the Ministry of Magic?" Harry asked again, as the door at the end of the drive came into view.

"Yes, we Apparate to the inside of the Ministry of Magic, just the right place, so that we will not be found." Dumbledore explained briskly, "We have to do it, just like Hogwarts, Azka There are many ancient protective magics around Ben, and apart from the special portkey placed inside the Ministry of Magic, it is impossible for outsiders to enter that island through other methods, or even find it there..."

"But Sirius successfully escaped from Azkaban that year."

"The difficulty of coming out from the inside is completely different from going in from the outside. Sirius is swimming out, but we can't swim in. There is neither time nor possibility to miss the island." Dumbledore said, "By the way, you can Apparate now, right? Harry, have you learned it yet?"

"I have learned it, but I don't have a certificate yet." Harry thought he'd better be honest, otherwise he would be more than a hundred miles away from where they were going after he manifested himself, wouldn't that be a bad thing? You know, before that, the farthest distance he had ever apparated was from one end of the auditorium to the other end of the auditorium.

"It's okay, I can help you again." Dumbledore paused, and continued, "Even, although you know the place, it's best to let me lead you when you apparate later."

Ivan nodded noncommittally, and didn't know if Dumbledore could see it, anyway, he didn't continue to ask.

They walked out of the gate and down the deserted path leading to Hogsmeade in the darkness.

It was dark all around, behind them was the brightly lit Hogwarts Castle, and Hogsmeade in front had only a few windows with lights shining.

As the three entered the Three Broomsticks bar, hoarse shouts were heard.

"I told you, don't come in!" Rosmerta yelled, forcing a scruffy-looking wizard out. "Oh, good evening, Albus, so late..."

"Good evening, Rosmerta, good evening...forgive me, I'm going to the Hog's Head...Don't take offense, it's just that I want a quieter atmosphere tonight... "

Ivan could feel that Rosmerta was watching them from behind until the three turned into a side street.

Ahead, the sign of the Hog's Head pub creaked softly, despite the lack of wind.

Compared with the Three Broomsticks, this bar looks empty and looks like it will collapse at any moment.

"We don't need to go in." Dumbledore glanced around and murmured, "As long as no one sees us leaving, now you two put your hands on my arms, don't hold them too tightly, I'm just leading You, you Apparate after me, I count three, one... two... three..."

For a while, Ivan felt as if he was being squeezed into a thick rubber tube. Every part of his body was squeezed, and his eyes gradually blurred. When all the scenes refocused, he had already arrived at the underground courtroom of the Ministry of Magic. In front of him was a giant black statue of a dementor.

The statue is very realistic, it is in an attacking posture, and it is about to lift the hood on its head upwards, revealing the terrible mouth in the looming haze, as if it is ready to give a terrible kiss to the person in front of it at any time , sucking his soul away.

"Is this the Portkey?" Harry asked, trying to calm himself down.

"Yes, this is the room behind the special courtroom of the Wizengamot, which leads directly to Azkaban." Ivan replied, he looked around the dark room, it was quiet and there was no one around, this There are no monitoring magic measures in the place, and it can be reached by Apparation, which can only be said to be incredible!

"How to do it?"

"Put your hands on it, don't force it!" Ivan said, repeating what Sirius told him back then.

"Watch out for the Invisibility Cloak and don't come out of it until I say yes," said Dumbledore. "Besides, it's going to be cold down there."

As he spoke, he raised his wand, and a pale white halo emerged from the statue...
