Harry Potter and the Immortal of Azkaban [Book 1]

A Dark and Dank Place

Notes:

Don't ask me why I thought this was a good idea. I have so many other Fanfictions that are not done, but this brainchild happened two days ago. And I could not put it to rest. So the updates will be a little bit slow but I am really working on these chapters putting in more effort than I probably do on any other fanfiction I write.

Anyway, this is a Merlin / Harry Potter crossover fanfiction. It starts at the very beginning of book 5: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. And will continue until the end of the last three books. From the point of the story forget about the cannon because it's not going to follow the exact storyline. Some major Canon points will be brought up throughout the story but otherwise, it's going to be my brainchild from there on out.

Please Enjoy:

The echoing of the insane screams, the deep, sticky feeling of sweat sticking to their skin was a constant every day for a prisoner of Azkaban. The small cramped cells and the blistering skin from chains tied too tight—the eerie chill of the Dementor's passing by. The tormented dreams and continuous depressing thoughts are all that fill the minds of the damned prisoners. The atrocious crimes they committed deemed them to get horrible treatment.

Only the worst of wizards and witches were sent here. So, of course, only the worst treatment was expected. And those that we're not there were fatally kissed by the Dementor's so that they were no more. The prison has been here for over 500 years, housing some of the worst and most atrocious criminals in all wizardkind.

It wasn't always a prison. Though that depends on who you ask, if you ask the countless Muggles that were tortured and murdered here, then for sure, it was a prison. But if you asked the old owner of this island, then maybe it was his paradise. This island was always a home of the dark arts, the fact that played it true was how many Dementor's it homed. Some people were against the building of a prison, some people wanted to get rid of the Dementor's all together for fear of those detestable creatures. But their fear of the creatures left them no choice but to leave the island to them.

For the fear, they might one day get out and harbor a grudge to those who took their home. Creatures of mist and impossible to kill, the Dementor's were feared by every witch and wizard of the good and the bad. So instead of taking their home away from them, they left them to guard a prison where no man nor woman would be able to escape from a Dementor's grasp.

The perfect prison, guards that never took breaks, an island undetected by any maps, Dementor's sucking the will out of all its prisoners. Every prisoner who walked into those walls never walked out again, and all went insane, just like it was intended when they made it a prison in the first place. Nobody cared about what happened to the prisoners; as long as on the outside, it seemed like it was working everyone was happy with how Azkaban kept its most tormented souls at bay.

Did they know about the horrible treatment that happened inside? Did they know about the graveyard built soon after opening? Did they know all those prisoners died of despair? No, every minister of magic decided to turn a blind eye to the horrible treatment of the prisoners. So it continued for 500 years as one of the worst prisons incarcerating many horrible wizards and witches.

One of the main reasons why nobody ever complained was the unbreakable track record of no escapees. Well, no, that's not right. It was broken by a mother who smuggled her child out and took the child's place in Azkaban. But nobody remembers that. The children of today don't remember that break out.

No, the one on everyone's mind is of Sirius Black. A horrid murderer and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named sympathizer, after betraying friends and murdering some more Muggles and wizards, he was thrown into Azkaban without trial. But most people felt like he didn't need a trial considering the horrible atrocities that he committed. When he broke out, it flashed on the news for days on end. 'Sirius Black Sighted' outlined the newspaper the Daily Prophet, for months.
