The only place on the island where Aurors are stationed is the island's pier and the lighthouse next to the pier. Early this morning, the Aurors stationed at the pier discovered a small boat slowly approaching Azkaban.

Seeing this, the Aurors on the island suddenly became nervous, because not long ago, a prison break had just occurred in this prison that was originally considered 100% safe, and Sirius Black successfully escaped from the prison.

However, as the boat approached, when the Aurors on the island discovered the wizard standing on the bow, they let down their guard.

Because the wizard standing at the bow at this moment was none other than the guest of honor of the Ministry of Magic, Lucius Malfoy.

Soon, Lucius Malfoy and the small boat under his feet slowly approached the shore. As Lucius Malfoy walked down the bow, the Auror who was in charge of guarding here also hurried to meet him.

No one came to ask Lucius Malfoy why he came here. The Aurors on the island were all vying to greet Lucius Malfoy.

Every Auror wanted to leave a good impression on Lucius Malfoy, because they had had enough of this place and didn't want to leave at any time.

However, the Aurors who were sent here either offended the powerful people in the Ministry of Magic or had no background at all, so they were assigned such a difficult job. The arrival of Lucius Malfoy gave them a glimmer of hope.

Lucius Malfoy, in the face of the Aurors rushing over, showed a brilliant smile and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Lucius Malfoy. I'm here today on behalf of the Ministry of Magic to send you my sincere condolences. You are all unsung heroes. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Christmas is coming soon. The things on the ship are some Christmas gifts I prepared for everyone. Of course, there are also some wine and food. I hope everyone likes them!"

Upon hearing Lucius Malfoy's words, the Aurors on the scene suddenly let out a cheer that resounded throughout Azkaban and even attracted the attention of some Dementors on the island.

Although several Aurors expressed some concerns that if so many people got drunk at the same time, would it give the prisoners in Azkaban an opportunity to escape? But soon, the Aurors who had this idea were convinced by other Aurors: "Do you really think we are the guards of this island? There is only one kind of guard on this island, and that is the Dementors! We... are actually prisoners too!"

While the Aurors on the island were scrambling to move things down from the ship, Lucius Malfoy said to a young Auror nearby:

"Excuse me, can you give me a tour?!"

Hearing Lucius Malfoy's words, the young Auror was somewhat flattered and said: "Of course, sir, it's my honor! By the way, sir, my name is Blue!"

Hearing what Bruce said, Lucius Malfoy said quickly: "Okay, Bruce, I'll remember you. How can a young Auror like you waste your time on the island?! I will suggest to Fudge that you be transferred back to the Ministry of Magic!"

Hearing Lucius Malfoy's promise, Blue's breathing became heavier and he seemed very excited.

Then, with great expectations for future life, Blue took Lucius Malfoy and walked towards the island.

After leaving the dock and walking a short distance into the island, a dilapidated and gloomy castle appeared before their eyes. Bruce introduced it:

"Mr. Malfoy, this is Azkaban!"

Seeing this, Blue quickly spoke loudly: "I am an Auror from the Ministry of Magic. I order you to return to the castle!"

Seeing this, Lucius Malfoy knew that there were Dementors approaching, and there were more than one.

At this moment, Lucius Malfoy felt that the Dark Mark on his body suddenly became hot.

At the same time, the cold feeling gradually disappeared, and the frost on the ground around them receded, and the scenery in front of the two people gradually returned to normal.

It was only at this time that Blue heaved a sigh of relief and said to Lucius Malfoy with a wry smile:

"Although Dementors ostensibly obey the Ministry of Magic, sometimes they are not very obedient. Aurors are accidentally injured from time to time, especially those who have just arrived on the island. They... crave the happiness of humans!"

"Therefore, many Aurors who have stayed on this island for a long time have been forced to learn to hide their happiness, and even... become the same as the prisoners inside."

"Maybe they were attracted by the cheers from the dock just now, so they walked out of the castle. But fortunately, they have no intention of rebelling, otherwise, we would be in danger!"

Hearing Blue's words, Lucius Malfoy sneered in his heart and thought:

It's not that they didn't plan to rebel, but that you didn't discover their plan! Lucius Malfoy had a feeling that it was not Blue who made the Dementors retreat, but himself. To be precise, it was the Dark Mark on his body.

Then, Lucius Malfoy followed Blue's footsteps and continued walking into the castle.

Before entering the castle, you have to pass through a cemetery full of tombstones. However, most of the tombstones here are blank, because most of the people buried here are prisoners in Azkaban.

For the Aurors who managed this place, finding a place to bury them was already the most they could do. Except for some special prisoners, the Aurors were too lazy to figure out who the dead were, so most of the prisoners were hastily buried, and a tombstone without words was erected in front of the grave.

After passing through the cemetery in front of them, the two finally arrived at the ancient castle called Azkaban.

At this time, even though the two were still outside the castle, the cold and suffocating atmosphere in the castle had gradually spread out. The two people standing in front of the castle couldn't help but look at each other. Then, Blue took out a piece of chocolate from his arms, handed it to Lucius Malfoy, and said, "Eat a piece of chocolate first, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, it will make you feel better!"

Hearing what Blue said, Lucius Malfoy took the chocolate without hesitation, put it in his mouth, and then walked into the castle with Blue.
