Rodolphus Lestrange sat by the iron bars of the doorway, listened intently for a moment, and only after confirming that the Dementor had all left did he begin his work for the night.

Thanks to his Occlumency, he has actually been doing alright these past few years.

Dementor want to suck out happiness, so they use Occlumency to seal away the happiest emotions and only show the most painful memories.

for example:

On their wedding night, his fiancée Bellatrix ran away to secretly meet the Dark Lord.

He returned on the afternoon of the second day, limping and dragging his exhausted body.

Malfoy, who married Narcissa, also told him:

The Dark Lord punished Bellatrix all night, which is why she can't walk properly anymore.

Bellatrix's temper will change in the future; tell him not to take it to heart and to be strong...

The result is:

His status among the Death Eaters inexplicably rose.

What a sad story.

For example:

At every meeting, Bellatrix would sit next to the Dark Lord, while her husband could only sit in the middle, watching the two of them from afar.

You can even hear words like "perfect match".

Does Rodolphus like Bellatrix?

Of course I like her, otherwise why would I have married her back then?

Bellatrix herself was unwilling, but her parents and family were.

After all, Lestrange and Black are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!

Rodolphus knew Bellatrix didn't like him, knew she loved the Dark Lord... but he didn't care.

He could tolerate Bellatrix not coming home at night; he could even join the Death Eaters because of her.

Even after Voldemort's downfall, he still followed her without hesitation to torment the Longbottoms, and was then captured by the Auror.

He just wants Bellatrix to be happy.

Because he believed that after doing so much, Bellatrix would one day understand:

Who is the man who loves her the most in this world?

So, what Rodolphus has to do every night now is:

prison Break.

Rescue Bellatrix!

Escape isn't so easy; after all, this is Azkaban, and without a wand, there's no way to get out.

But Rodolphus's greatest asset was time.

That's right, he stole a fork from the lunchbox and dug a secret passage every night.

They've been digging for a full fourteen years.

Azkaban didn't go out for a breather; he ate the dirt and debris directly with his meal.

As for the cave entrance, the Dementor have no eyes and cannot see it at all.

If Auror happens to pass by, just cover them with a newspaper.

At this moment, Rodolphus, holding a small fork and thinking of Bellatrix, continued digging the tunnel.

Suddenly, a sound came from outside—the sound of a lock being opened.

Rodolphus' face turned pale. Had he been discovered? Were all his fourteen years of hard work about to vanish like a dream?

He waited a while, but the sound disappeared, and no Dementor came to give him a kiss.

Rodolphus mustered his courage and crawled out again, only to be stunned by the scene before him.

The door had been opened, but there was no Dementor handle.

After thinking for a long time, Rodolphus stood up in a daze and looked outside shakily.

Not all the cell doors were open; in this corridor, only his door and August Rookwood's door were open.

Both of them were Death Eaters.

When talking about Rookwood, one cannot help but mention Ludo Bagman.

Rookwood was a spy planted in the Ministry of Magic by the Dark Lord. Before his arrest, he worked in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic, responsible for passing on intelligence from the Ministry of Magic to Voldemort.

By the way, the reading app I've been using recently has a huge library of books, a wide selection, and fast updates!

He tricked Ludo, obtaining a lot of information from him, and Ludo almost ended up in jail as well.

Seeing Rookwood emerge, Rodolphus quickly grabbed him and asked him to help him find Bellatrix.

Rookwood, however, advised, "Six months ago, I sensed the call of the Dark Mark. My master must have been resurrected; he saved us."

"Let's run now! If we delay any longer, the Ministry of Magic might arrive, and we'll definitely be stuck here."

Seeing that Rodolphus wouldn't listen, Rookwood immediately left.

Rodolphus had to go find her himself, and finally found Bellatrix on another floor.

Bellatrix, however, was holding a dagger and sliced Samoy's head off.

Rodolphus exclaimed in shock, "Bellatrix, he's Death Eaters!"

"Samoy was just about to release the other criminals." Bellatrix, though thin as a rake, seemed to have fire burning in her eyes.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Rodolphus said. "With all the prisoners in Azkaban gone, the United Kingdom Ministry of Magic will be in for a lot of trouble..."

"No, I want to give the Dark Lord a complete Azkaban!" Bellatrix laughed wildly, turning to stare at Rodolphus.

"Help me, arrest all our people who are causing destruction everywhere... okay?"

Rodolphus hesitated, thinking that Bellatrix had gone somewhat insane after being imprisoned for so many years.

Why wouldn't they leave and instead attack their own people?

"If you just help me," Bellatrix licked her lips, "I'll agree to anything you want."

Without further hesitation, Rodolphus grabbed the dagger and rushed out.

Bellatrix stood there, a strange smile on her face.

"How could I possibly catch all the escaped Death Eaters by myself? Luckily, I have a fool to help me..."

"Awaken, it's time to hunt!"

Near the island of Azkaban, Hermione swished the reins, driving the Thestral carriage, showing no intention of leaving.

Tonks asked curiously, "Hermione, what are you going to do?"

"The Dementor have betrayed us, and I'm going to kill their leader." Hermione raised her wand, pointing it at her temple.

She pulled out silvery-white memories of happiness and scattered them into the air.

"Dementor are unkillable!" Tonks exclaimed in horror.

"It's alright, as long as there's phoenix flames," Hermione said familiarly.

Tonight, her and William's roles were clearly defined.

One of them captures Bellatrix while simultaneously killing the Death Eaters who are trying to escape.

One of them killed the Dementor leader, completely paving the way for the Little Black Robe to rise to power, allowing it to lead the Dementor to surrender to the Death Eaters, and then become a spy.

Hermione reached up and smoothed a stray strand of hair from her sideburns, quickly tying it into a knot.

A magic wand appeared in her hand, and she looked up, searching for the Dementor.

Hermione's movements were fluid and seamless, exuding an indescribable air of heroism.

For a moment, even Tonks was slightly lost in thought.

In a dilapidated room,

Voldemort walked barefoot, raised his wand, and shot out several beams of purple light.

Arthur Weasley only managed a dozen or so blows before collapsing to the ground, covered in blood.

Voldemort didn't continue his attack; instead, he hissed in Parseltongue:

"Go ahead, take a few bites, but don't kill it right away..."

The Runespoor swam towards Weasley and bit down on Weasley neck.

Weasley could feel the snake's fangs digging deep into his skin, his ribs being shattered, and warm blood seeping from them...

Voldemort smiled.

That's right!

Weasley is a crucial part of today's plan, specifically designed to attract Dumbledore's attention.

Voldemort would wait until the snake venom entered Weasley's body before informing Snape to pass a message to Dumbledore.

With Weasley seriously injured, the Order of the Phoenix will definitely mobilize most of its wizards.

By the time they arrived, Weasley was beyond saving because of his deliberate delay.

Without interference from the Order of the Order of the Phoenix, the Department of Mysteries and Azkaban will likely be able to complete their missions smoothly.

The Prophecy Orb... Voldemort is determined to get it.

The Death Eaters of Azkaban... will also be an important addition to the fighting force.

At least in the short term, he shouldn't be using that garbage called "Wormtail" anymore.

If all goes well, Voldemort will head to the Alps tomorrow. He'll also take Bellatrix, whom he hasn't seen in a long time, with him.

Such a servant would rather be imprisoned for more than ten years for my sake, so of course I should take good care of him.

Just then, Voldemort suddenly felt a summons.

A Death Eaters has touched the Dark Mark and is summoning him!

He suddenly turned his head.

It's in the direction of Azkaban... Has something happened there?

Voldemort immediately flew into a rage.

He didn't want to see any unexpected events, so it seemed he needed to go to Azkaban himself.

He raised his wand, Runespoor emerged from his bosom.

The Dark Lord transformed into a bat-like figure and flew through the darkness toward the wall.
