Chapter 7. The mysterious cleanse in Azkaban.
1 April 1986.
Azkaban Prison.
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
12 am.
Sirius was not sleeping well, as his canine form was nothing but bones and fur. But curled up he could retain a bit of body warmth that the threadbare mattress and ratty cover could not offer. It was then that he smelled a new scent. A couple of new scents. Almost faint. But the scents were pushed to the back when a basket of foods and laundered clothes, sterilized bottles and soap appeared. The basket contained a note.
"I solemnly swear …"
He smiled as tears rolled on his face and he whispered the last of the passphrase, "I'm up to no good,"
Hey you mangy mutt, I'm sure you are wondering about this basket. Inside it there is a wizards tent for one. Put it up, take a shower, and eat a warm meal. There are some clean clothes as well, put them on, and when ready, say the closing phrase to the map. We'll talk then.
Your friends,
H and Hr.
Sirius didn't care, food, clean clothes, and a shower, that was real magic in this hellhole. He got the shower, the clean uniform, and healing potions with his meal. Once he felt he was ready to meet the generous allies, he said. "Mischief managed,"
The basket and the tent miniaturized to the size of a grain of rice. He placed the items in his pocket and a couple of house-elves, a male and a female, appeared in front of him. The two nodded, and then shifted to magical children, Harry and Hermione. "Hi, Sirius Black, my name is,"
"Harry Potter," interrupted Sirius Black. "If I'm dreaming? I want this dream to continue," said Sirius in a whisper as tears ran down his face.
"You are not dreaming, Mr. Black, we are here. Hi, my name is Hermione Granger, I'm Harry's friend," volunteered Hermione.
Sirius got on his knees and hugged Harry and then the dam was broken as both Harry and Sirius cried like newborns. The time traveler and the broken-hearted child coalesced for a brief period of time with the older broken wizard, as they held each other, new magic made an appearance.
New magic to Azkaban that is, ancient magic took shape and sent a pulse, as the bond from the godparenting vow broke through their cores. It was magic similar to the Patronus charm and as bright as a star and it really scared the dementor population, so they became vicious in response to the other occupants of the tower. But the pulse continued until it burned the dementors too and cleansed the cell currently occupied by the time travelers and the mutt.
Then the alarms on the island rang as the dementors fell. To which Hermione said. "I don't mean to be a party pooper, but, I get the feeling we should not be here when the guards arrive, which is bound to happen in a minute or less. So, buckle up boys."
She shifted into a house-elf, and so did Harry. Next, the two took a hold of Sirius's hands and popped away to Hermione's backyard. Once at home, she said to Sirius. "Could you please turn to your canine form, Mr. Black?"
The wizard in question nodded and once he was Padfoot, he was turned into a stuffed animal. Then Harry followed by being turned into a stuffed bear. She took them and placed them next to her as she shifted back to her little girl state and made space on her bed to accommodate both.
The next morning Mrs. Charlotte Granger wondered where the hell Hermione kept getting this weird array of stuffed animals, one thing was clear though, the furries had style. The bear had a bandaid and the black dog had a prison hat. She couldn't help herself and brought her camera and snapped a picture of her slumbering daughter, as Jake came in and asked her,
"Wait, what are you up to, Charlie?"
"It's Hermione, she's got a dog now, look." Jake noticed both furries were funny looking and just like Charlie had, he too would have taken a picture to immortalize his daughter's shape as she held the bear and the dog next to her.
"What's next?" Asked Jake,
"Knowing her, a cat," added Charlotte.
Meanwhile back on Azkaban Island,
At dawn.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Asked the prison warden of the unspeakable who was looking at the soulless bodies in the cells, and the rags that used to be the dementor cloaks on the floor. One other guard walked up to the prison warden and said, "You better take a look at this sir,"
"What is it, now?" Inquired the bureaucrat. "We believe we found the starting place of this catastrophe," answered the prison guard. "Alright I'll follow, show me," said the warden. As the door to the cell formerly occupied by Sirius Black was opened the only thing that could escape the old warden's mouth was, "What, what happened? Where is he? Where is Sirius Black?"
