Chapter 925 (1/2)

The next day, van Lin's question was answered.

When Hermione opened the prophet's daily, she had just looked at the front page for a moment, then she screamed so that all the people next to her turned to look at her.

”What's the matter?” Asked Fanling and Harry in unison.

In response, Hermione unfolded the newspaper on the table in front of her and pointed to the front page full of ten black-and-white photos, nine of which were witches and the tenth was a witch.

Some mocked in silence, others tapped on the edge of the picture, looking very arrogant. Each photograph is marked with the name and the crime the person committed before he was sent to Azkaban.

”Antonin Dolohov,” said Harry, with a long, pale, twisted face, looking at them all in derision. ”Brutally killed Gideon and Fabian privet.”

”Algernon Lockwood,” a pockmarked, greasy haired man leaning lazily against the edge of the photograph, ”revealed the secrets of the Ministry of magic to the mysterious man.”

But Harry's eyes turned to the witch. When he saw the page, her face jumped out.

The picture shows her with long black hair and looks messy, not as thick and shiny as he used to see. She gazed at them behind her eyelids, and her thin mouth was tinged with an arrogant and contemptuous smile. Like Sirius, her face had traces of her good old face, but something - perhaps Azkaban - took away most of her beauty.

”Bellatrix Restron, who tortured and led to the insanity of frank and Alice Longbottom.” Hermione nudged Vaseline with her elbow and pointed to the headline at the top of the photo. Several people just looked at Bellatrix and ignored it.

”Azkaban's massive prison break”

”the Ministry of magic is worried that Blake is summoning the old Death Eaters”

”black?” Harry said out loud, ”no -”

”Shhh -” Hermione tried to stop him, ”don't be so loud, just watch it!”

”Late last night, the Ministry of magic announced that there had been a massive prison break in Azkaban. The Minister of magic, Cornell fudge, told reporters that ten highly guarded prisoners had fled earlier last night and had informed the Muggle prime minister that they were extremely dangerous. ”Unfortunately, we found ourselves in the same situation as Sirius Black escaped two and a half years ago.” Fudge said last night, ”we think there's a connection between the two escapes. Such a large-scale escape means that someone is waiting outside, and we must remember that Sirius Black, the first JailBreaker of all time, will reasonably help those people follow his example. We think these people, including Blake's cousin, Bellatrix. Strong, probably, has gathered around black, the leader. But we will do our best to round up these criminals and hope that the magicians will remain vigilant. Don't go near any criminal. ”

”You see, Harry,” said Ron fearfully, ”so he was so happy last night.”
