9th august 1996
Azkaban
Dementors screeched all around them, futile attempts to get close to the group all ended in them being blasted into next year. A dementor approached Harry but to no avail for his patronus chomped on the dementor's head and ripped the creature to shreds. Unfortunately, the dementors would reform in less than a minute but it was still enough for them to get to the entrance of the prison easily.
"Didn't know you could temporarily destroy them, sad it doesn't last."
"There are so many nargles here!"
Daphne's lynx stalked right past Harry, looking like a serial killer with the dementor's head in its mouth. Even luna's seemingly innocent hare was murdering the dementors and Harry kind of felt sad for the dementor that was floating past, half of it gone. Imagine waking up to have breakfast and then being ripped to shreds by a horde of pixies.
Draco groaned as a dementor attempted to invade his personal space before sticking his wand right in its mouth and casting a patronus inside the dementor.
"Draco don't be so mean to them!"
"Shush milli this organism came to disturb me first."
For drama's sake, Fred and George insisted on exploding the door to get in and now the doors were hanging off the hinges and collapsing on them.
"Right so we are setting up a base in a place full of dementors and prisoners. How are we going to do this?"
Fred and George launched themselves into bouts of laughter and Harry knew. The end was coming.
"Oh little Parkinson!"
"We came in prepared!"
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
Pansy yelped as a giant machine dropped down next to her, a clang resounding through the entire building because it was just that heavy. Indeed the end was coming, for their hearing.
"HEY YOU DAMN WEASELS IM GONNA GET YOU FOR THIS!"
"Hohoho!"
Harry sighed, putting a hand to his head while Theo just sat down, grabbed Uma and started tossing her around like a rag doll.
"ABUSE!"
"Indeed it is abuse snake. I'm amazed you even know the word."
"You!"
Harry pulled them apart, throwing the multi coloured snake into the machine and 'accidentally' activating it.
"Wooo! Itty bitty Harian!"
"Knows the key to this baby!"
"Of course I do, you told me."
"We did?"
He could hear Uma screaming angrily from inside but he knew she wasn't in any pain, she was just being drama. The machine glowed a bright blue and they saw the dementors all flying away in a flurry of black fabric.
"It operates on star magic."
"And puts up a barrier,"
"Made from a patronus!"
All of them were impressed, except Uma who was stuck inside the metal cage.
"Let me out!"
"Just a few more minutes uma, calm down!"
"N-"
She suddenly cut off and stared blankly at the side of the cage.
"Should we be worried she's quiet now?"
Harry shook his head as he took out his wand.
"Come on, let's get the prisoners out."
"Wait, what's the plan?"
"We separate the crazies from the normals, and then leave the crazies to tom to handle. We'll obliviate the normals to hell and then send them to live their own lives."
Harry left it as that as he made his way up the stairs, the rest eventually following suit and going their own separate ways.
Surprisingly, Matthew was the one who came with him, and Draco was with mariya. He stared questioningly at Matthew but he just shrugged, whispering: "Her idea, not mine."
"Why?"
"No idea. Oh yes that reminds me Harry."
Matthew stuck a hand inside his oversized cloak, that Harry hadn't understood why he was wearing it, and pulled out a very big surprise.
"Shinsei?"
"Hi master!"
Her appearance befuddled Harry, for he was still under the impression she was with the centaurs.
"Wait wait why are you here?"
"Wanted to help master Hadrian, so I asked master abaddon to sneak me in."
"But why?"
"I just have a bad feeling..."
"Harry, we don't have a lot of time?"
Harry nodded as he took the cat from Matthew, draping her around his shoulders.
"You take the right I take the left?"
"Sure."
It was easy breaking the prisoners out, because most of them were already babbling bumbling fools trapped in their own minds. However, there were anomalies. Harry was almost beheaded when he entered the cell, staring right into the eyes of Barty crouch junior. He had no idea when or how he was apprehended, but Harry wasn't taking chances.
"Shinsei, deal with this one."
"Ok!"
He heard an eep followed by a scream from the cell as he walked away, breaking all the locks because he was above using alohomora.
He met Matthew at the end of the corridor, all the prisoners were gathered in the aisle, some a bit more comprehensive of their surroundings and others just a husk of their former selves.
There were a few familiar faces from the newspapers, but the current versions of themselves were a far cry from their past glory, pre azkaban.
"That was simple."
"Yes, other than the dementors, azkaban is quite an easy place to be in."
"Let's get these people to-"
Out of the blue, a large explosion shook the prison, the walls shaking and the floor vibrating harshly, forcing everyone to their knees. Harry quickly got to his feet and helped Matthew up, both of them holding on to the iron bars for balance.
"Imperium locus!"
The blue computer materialised, and Harry immediately spotted the perpetrators, who were none other than,
"The order."
"Great how perfect for them to come!"
Harry laughed in disbelief as he peeked through one of the holes from the bricks that had fallen out in the explosion. The order was flying in on brooms, an unfortunate damn dragon, and Dumbledore had his pheonix.
"I'm going to greet them-"
All of a sudden Harry felt a hand pull him away and Matthew forced him to sit down.
"Wait, abaddon?"
"You, stay here, call the death eaters and watch the prisoners. I'll deal with them."
Harry attempted to protest but Matthew patted his back assuringly.
"Strictly speaking, I'm more well versed in dealing with aerial targets, Hadrian. Besides,"
He made eye contact with Harry, very serious about this.
"Voices can afford to lose me, but you're the leader Harry. If you get injured or Merlin forbid killed, that could spell the end for us."
Harry stared back at him, and Matthew smiled as he held out his hand for shinsei to jump on.
"Don't forget, Hadrian, Slytherin seniors have a responsibility to protect their juniors. Keep an eye on those prisoners behind you and we'll be just fine."
Harry mulled over it before reluctantly agreeing.
"Mind if I borrow her?"
Matthew held shinsei up and Harry nodded again.
"Come back safe and sound, or mariya will kill me."Harry blasted a giant hole through the wall and he watched as Matthew hopped onto shinsei's back and took to the air, turning around to face the azkaban prisoners.
"Imperio."
It was ironic that he was casting one of the three unforgivables that would have sent anyone on a one way trip to azkaban, in azkaban. Controlling the prisoners, he got them walking towards the exit, taking one last look at Matthew through the hole before his senior flew out of sight. He followed behind the prisoners, watching them closely in case any one of them regained their consciousness, all the while dragging the unconscious body of Barty crouch jr along with him.
