Chapter 2 Azkaban Visit
Hermione hated going to Azkaban, with all her heart. She hated the never be happy feeling that it gave her. She couldn't stand the way that the people looked at her as she walked by there cell. She mostly just couldn't take the way it looked, hopeless and forgotten.
She walked beside Kenneth through the front doors past the guards, real people. That had been her first official act as Ministry, put people in here though she did keep the Dementors but there was not as many.
"What would you like to see first?" Kenneth asked.
"Prisoners." Hermione said simply. She didn't understand why she was so suddenly ken on being here and seeing the death eaters.
Kenneth lead the way to rows of cells. One after another they sat, not a break between any. He walked her down the first floor of the prisoners many of whom where old Hogwarts students that had been in Slytherins. The next row consisted of the more dangerous death eaters, the ones that had been with Voldemort since he started. In the last hall Kenneth lead Hermione consisted of very few prisoners and a lot of empty cells.
She walked by one cell on the left side and had to make a double glance to see that there was indeed a prisoner inside. It was a very lonely looking Snape sitting in a ball in the corner. His greasy hair hide his face and he rocked slowly mumbling ever so softly to himself.
"This is the injury ward. Any prisoner that has any kind of physical problem is in here." Kenneth said as he leaned against the bars of an empty cell.
"How many are in here?" Hermione asked her eyes fixed on Snape.
"About seven, I think." Kenneth said as he watched Hermione. It was common knowledge that he liked her but she didn't like him.
"What's wrong with him?" Hermione asked her eyes fixed on him.
"He's missing an arm. He still thinks it's there though. In fact he likes to talk to his arm." Kenneth said and it sound as though he was trying to keep from laughing.
As soon as he had said it Hermione saw that Snape was missing his left arm. It was hard to tell for in his black robes concealed his arms but the left one looked like it was empty.
"Shall we continue?" Kenneth said as Hermione backed away from the cell. She hadn't walked more than a few steps when she heard movement from within a cell ahead on the right.
Hermione saw a pair of thin pale arms wrap around the bars in a hug like fashion. As Hermione approached she recognized the figure as none other than Draco Malfoy.
