Chapter 1
A Escape
Azkaban was a terrible and cold dark place for the prisoners. To the guards it was like a Christmas feast since they fed on the humans happiness. Most of the time people went insane. Their was one person who didn't go insane. Sirius Black. He sat curled up in a ball in a small corner in his cell thinking and mumbling to himself for the past 12 years he was like that everyday when the guards came in. He killed 13 people with a single curse and was said to be on the side of the Dark Lord. The guards thought he was crazy and really didn't feed on him since he really didn't start to go mad like the others.
It was a stormy day when the Minister of Magic went to visit Azkaban. He hated this place more then anyone could imagine and tried to avoid all the guards but they were everywhere.
"Soulless creatures." Fudge mumbled to himself. He took out the Daily Prophet and started to read the article about a man who was sent to Azkaban for stealing enchanted objects and gold from a store in Ireland. He walked and read and came close to tripping down the stairs twice. When he got to the most secure part of the prison he shivered. All the mass murderers and the Dark Lord's servants were held here. He turned to see one of the guards looking down at him.
"If you even touch me I'll send your ass straight to hell." Fudge said taking out his wand. The guard drew back and opened the door. Fudge walked through until he caught sight of bushy curly hair.
"Ah Mrs. Belletrix Lestrangre." Fudge said. Belletrix eyes darted over to him and she sneered.
"Still working as Minster Fudge? Better be on your toes." Belletrix said.
"HE WON'T COME BACK!" Fudge yelled and slammed his walking stick on her jail door. Belletrix didn't even wince and just grinned.
"Spend your time here with the "Heir" Fudge. He hasn't had any visitors since Dumbledore came last year. He'll miss you Fudge." Fudge sniffed and turned from her and walked down noticing other prisoners he put in here. Belletrix's husband, Greyback, and among many other of the Dark Lord's servants. He walked until he saw a man sitting in the corner looking out the window.
"Sirius Black?" Fudge said.
"Hello Fudge." The man said. He stood up and walked over to the jail door eying Fudge.
"Your not insane?" Fudge asked him.
"Certainly not. They don't come around these parts since most of us don't have happy thoughts. I want to ask if Harry Potter is alright."
"Harry Potter? Well ah yes he's fine. His twin sister Aeris is as well."
"She won't be soon. The Dark Lord-"
"DON'T SAY HE'S COMING BACK. HE ISN'T."
"I wasn't going to say that. I was going to say the Dark Lord placed a spell on her but it's not dangerous."
"Really? How do you know this?"
"Belletrix was talking in her sleep two years ago. Aeris Evans... I don't fully remember her. She was the mysterious baby that was always as Lily put, thinking."
"Well Aeris is having a great time at Hogwarts. Top grades with her other friend, and she has a boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Sirius Black asked him.
"Well yes. Fred Weasley. Supposedly their the new school sweethearts. It's too early to say but I met them once when they were shopping and they do indeed seem like a good match." Fudge said and sat on the stone bench next to the cell.
"Molly's kid correct?"
"Yes."
"Well it's great that Fred found someone. Now the Weasley will probably be in the Prophet more."
"Ah Black they were just in the paper about a week ago. Here I thought I could give it to you." Fudge said and searched his coat pocket and pulled out a worn paper and handed it to Sirius. Sirius read the cover and looked up at Fudge.
"They went on a trip?"
"Indeed. To Egypt to visit Bill."
"Odd thing to do. Ah look Ron. I remember him. My Molly grew plump. Arthur lost some hair and Percy looks like a smart kid. The twins. Still can't tell them apart. Who's this girl?"
"Ginny Weasley. She's 12."
"Ah that's good."
"Well Black it was nice chatting with you. Keep the paper but I'm off." Fudge said and turned away from Black.
"Goodbye Minister."
Fudge walked out of Azkaban in one piece but had the chills for probably months to come. He got on his boat that was waiting for him and he vowed to never step in there again.
Sirius
That cruel nasty slimy monster. How dare he hide away like that. HOW DARE HE. After all we did for him he just tells off James and Lily and gets away from it. He even put me in here for a crime he committed. Old Peter Pettigrew was in the Daily Prophet in the hands of a family who didn't deserve this kind of dark magic in their house let alone their life. I could tell it was him since he was missing a toe but this was just horrible to imagine that monster living with Molly's family. The Weasley family was full of life and happy people. Arthur was the life of the party whenever James hosted one. Molly's cooking was the best out of anyone. The twins were jokers but excellent at flying. They were just little kids as Dumbledore told me last year, that took Charlie and Bill's broom and started to practice. They were just two when I saw them last. Percy was seven and already starting to read, and Bill and Charlie were already in school. Quickly looking through the paper I saw the headlines reading about Fred Weasley and Aeris Evans.
"So it's true then." I mumbled. They celebrate nine months in June. It was the second week in July and this paper came out last week. So the Weasley's were still in Egypt. If Aeris and Fred were dating why was not with them in the photo? Hmm must not like photos. I looked down at the caption and read that all the Weasley kids except Bill were attending Hogwarts. That's it. Hogwarts is where I can get Peter back. I can kill him there and run off to freedom. Escaping this place though is going to be pretty hard though.
It was two weeks later when I finally finished making plans and started to put it in action. It was pretty simple really. Everyday the guards will bring in food so I'll slip out then. I took one last look at the paper and smiled. Harry's birthday is just a few days from now. If anything I'll send him a birthday gift. Aeris too. A diamond necklace. Lily loved those. Their was a tap on the door and I quickly transformed into a dog and hid in the dark corner nearest to the jail door. A guard glided in with a tray in his hand and I slipped out the door and through the jail bars. I didn't know how to get out but I knew the guards couldn't see that I was the mass prisoner who escaped. If they feed off me it'll just be dog happiness. I walked up the steps until I saw a familiar place. A large door that had two guards on either side of it. The way out. A alarm went off and the guards quickly flew up and out the window to see what was going on. Making a daring move I pulled the rope and the door opened slightly. I ran through just in time and saw the moon shining down on the water. I jumped into the water and swam not turning around once to see what the guards were doing. I escaped. I was the first person to ever escape.
Somewhere far off a girl and her sweetheart were exiting the opera when Black made his daring escape.
