Azkaban did have Dentors from the beginning of its presence and was used by the Ministry of Magic as a prison to hold prisoners.
Its history stems back to the fifteenth century.
When the fortress was first built on Azkaban island in the North Sea, this island has never appeared on any map, neither muggle nor wizard.
There were rumours that it was magically created, and so say that it was enchanted to enlarge the space.
This fortress was once initially the ho of an infamous wizard who called himself Ekrizdis.
He was extrely powerful, and his nationality was unknown. Ekrizdis practised the most nefarious form of dark magic while luring, torturing and killing muggle sailors who passed through the area for fun and research.
At the ti, many people believed he had gone insane, and it was only after his death that the hidden spell he cast lost its effectiveness, the Ministry of Magic beca aware of the existence of the island and the fortress, and those who went to investigate were only willing to ntion afterwards that the place was full of dentors, and refused to reveal more.
Jon and Fred two stepped down from the ship after the grey fog filled everywhere in front of them.
These fogs looked no different from the normal fogs that enveloped the entire Azkaban Island and the surrounding sea.
"There is magic on these grey fogs, apart from specific people or ships, others if they sail their ships to and off the shore, it is basically no longer possible to find the way back for them. After the Hogwarts sailed off the shore, it will directly embark on the next target point, and there is no way to guide them back again."
Floating in mid-air Nick's gaze fixed on Jon, and he frowned and said.
"You don't want them to have a psychological burden when they leave you behind?"
On the side when Fred heard Nick's words, a sowhat surprised look appeared on his face as he looked at Jon.
Jon apologized to him with an apologetic face.
"Sorry, Fred, I just did not have the luxury to ask your opinion alone before privately, so I took it upon myself. Nick is right, if the Hogwarts sailed away from the shores of this island without waiting for us to return, then relying on Neville and the others to pilot it, there is basically no possibility of finding the original way back."
"Once there is such a situation, then the probability that we both have to be left on the island is high."
Fred did not have the slightest intention of blaming Jon for this, he looked a little light-hearted.
"Hey, what are you talking about? How could I possibly bla you for sothing like this? It's not just Jon, if you let anyone on Hogwarts co down with you, they would only praise you for doing the right thing. I definitely understand what is more important between the two of us and the safety of the entire school. It was right not to tell George and the others, and if they had known, they would have died rather than give up on us to take the ship away."
Fred is certainly not afraid of sacrificing, as he did in the normal tiline, sacrificing himself in the battle without complaint.
But even knowing his character, Jon didn't take it for granted that he could just decide the fate of others in private.
Everyone has the right to choose on his own, even if you know very well that he will certainly choose this, it is still up to him to choose.
So Jon solemnly apologized to Fred again.
Floating in mid-air, Nick looked at them with a sowhat complicated expression on his face.
He has been in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for hundreds of years and witnessed countless students coming in and out of that castle.
In these years, all kinds of disputes have been seen, and all kinds of friendships have been witnessed, but like the current Hogwarts, without the difference between houses, without the difference in blood, no matter what kind of family they co from, almost all of them are the students who are close to each other.
In the last hundred years, there has never been such a period.
The loss of Hogwarts Castle not only did not let the school fall apart but in other ways tightened the unity.
Nick did not doubt that such a Hogwarts would not simply be crushed by darkness and injustice, just as the highest standard of conduct in the world, shared by both muggles and wizards, had remained true, good and beautiful since the beginning of ti.
There were no guards posted along the shores of Azkaban, and Jon and the two of them, along with Nick, easily made their way onto the island.
"In fact, many tis people have so misconceptions about the na Azkaban." As they moved forward, Nick explained to them, "Actually, in the beginning, this na is not referred to the island, but the castle that is built in the very centre of the island. The na of the castle is called Azkaban, just like Hogwarts Castle."
"Just because the island itself has no na, so over ti, people call the whole island Azkaban Island, and because of this, many people are not aware that the prison is actually a castle itself."
Jon and Fred looked in the direction of Nick's gaze, and through the grey mist that had beco sowhat thin, they did see a tall, dilapidated castle.
The outer walls made of stone were overgrown with black and purple plants of unknown origin, which swayed under the cold sea breeze like a withered arm stretched out from prison.
Fred subconsciously wrapped up his body with his thick robe, his voice unconsciously mixed with so nervous emotions.
"So what are we going to do on the island later?"
Nick replied.
"We're going to find out if there are any more Aurors from the Ministry of Magic stationed on this island?"
"We're actively going to find the Auror?" Fred's eyes widened slightly, "Why? Aren't we supposed to be looking for traces left by the Dark Lord on the island?"
Before disembarking, Jon had inford everyone about the additional purpose Dumbledore had laid out for them on this voyage, in addition to avoiding the war in Britain and France.
"Thirteen years have passed since the Dark Lord ca to this island, and none of us knows what he did on the island then." Nick said.
Fred raised questions.
"And the Aurors stationed here would know? I don't think the Ministry of Magic would send soone to stay here for 13 years straight, right? What's more, the Dark Lord probably would have tried to conceal this, and he would have wiped the mories of all the people who knew about it at the ti, or even killed them outright."
"But dentors can't be killed."
Jon ntioned a sentence, which made Fred's entire body freeze, the twins' brains are very bright, and imdiately he thought of Jon's aning.
"You an, these dentors on the island won't be disposed of by him! They've been on this island all this ti and must know exactly what happened 13 years ago!"
