Kassandra Bauer and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3)

Chapter 4: Train Ride of Terror.

Azkaban Prison. 1990. (3rd. P.O.V)

Azkaban was a place of terror and despair. As it had to its prisoners over its long towering dark history. And it was no exception to its newest inmate, Patricia Rakepick. She had only been an inmate for one month. Her hair was already messed up and raggedy. She looked like she had aged 10 years in one month alone. Her once confident look was gone. Replaced by one of fear. And there was only one question on her mind. How the hell was Ethan Bauer able to defeat her. 

"He did this to me. That little bastard. If I ever get out of here! I'll kill him!" Rakepick yelled out. "Do you hear me, Ethan Bauer?! I will kill you! I'll kill you!" 

"That's the spirit!" Another voice that was Bellatrix Lestrange yelled. "Just wait till you're in here for more years. You'll scream so much you'll wake even all of Scotland." And she laughed evilly.

There was another voice. "Is that you, Rakepick?" It had came from Sirius Black and he was laughing. "I thought I recognized that all talk and no action from anywhere." He said. 

"Sirius Black." Rakepick chuckled. "I see you're still sane. Was 9 years not enough to take your sanity?" 

"You're one to talk. 1 month in, and you're already talking about killing Ethan Bauer." Sirius shot back. "He ended up an Auror like his father after all." 

Rakepick breathed in heavily. She was not going to be criticized by Sirius Black of all people. "I saw him you know. Pettigrew. He's still alive. Guess the real traitor is still at large and you're oh... James Potter's innocent best friend still here." She taunted.  

But Sirius didn't look insulted. In fact, he smiled. "Thank you, Rakepick. Because now I know I truly am innocent. And I may be in here. But... so are you." He countered. 

Rakepick sneered. "That power should belong to me. It should be mine." 

Sirius laughed. "Well in that case. Why don't you go on and rant. You'll have plenty of time to tell me all about it." 

And Rakepick faced the long darkness of her cell. And then the Dementors started to howl. "Awoooooooooooooooooooooooo!" 

"Right. That's my cue." Sirius declared. "Have fun with the Dementors." He taunted.

"Oh crap." Rakepick knew she was about to be screwed. 

Back to the Present. Kassandra (P.O.V)

I got everything packed up and Mater and I went out to the Leaky Cauldron to join my friends after breakfast. I couldn't help but think about some of the things that happened yesterday. Learning about the return of the Gods of Egypt. Sirius Black now on the loose. And the knowledge of Dementors going to be on Hogwarts. 

"Chare, everyone." I greeted. 

"Hey!" They all greeted. 

I saw everyone trying to get their trunks down the stairs and piling them by the door. My trunk is already in my possession. I've got Athena in her cage. And she was hooting. She's an Owl. What do you expect?

"It's alright, Crookshanks." Hermione assured Crookshanks who was not a happy cat at that moment. "I'll let you out on the train." 

"No you won't let that Fat Faced Tiger off!" Ron snapped. "What about poor Scabbers, eh?" Until Anubis made his leg shoot up in the air. "Anubis! I'm not that flexible!" 

"You will not speak that way to the Cat!" Anubis scolded. 

"But I was just-" Ron's leg twisted up. "I'll be quiet." He finally admitted defeat.
