H . P . S . T Chapter 386: Peter and the Throat of the Abyss

Bellatrixs laughter echoed in the grim and terrible Azkaban .

Of all the Death Eaters ever put on trial, Bellatrix is the only one who refused to plead guilty; she kept swearing that her master will come back . Dumbledore said . He frowned and looked at Bellatrix for a moment, nobody knowing what he was thinking .

As I knew her, Bellatrix is a creature of ruthlessness and cruelty, and had no love to anything . Sirius said, Shes just a replica of my mother, always rambling about family glory and pure blood .

Sirius did not look at Bellatrix anymore, and seemed determined to ignore her .

Of course, that was in her school days, he continued . She became a Death Eater shortly after graduation, and its really surprising that she could still defend Voldemort so heartily, even in the High Court of Wizengamot .

There were signs that Bellatrix had ambiguous feelings for Voldemort .

Evan thought maliciously that there might be some kind of secret relationship between them .

Voldemort and his favorite female Death Eater . the idea was as awkward as it was intriguing

As they moved on, Sirius introduced to him some notorious Death Eaters and other Dark wizards . That weird voice never appeared again .

Dumbledore did not find any anomalies, so it seemed to be just his own imagination .

Evan breathed a sigh of relief and walked on for about twenty minutes . He couldnt help asking, Where is Peter Pettigrew?

In a special place, it is calledtheThroat of the Abyss, the core of Azkaban . Dumbledore explained, Not all prisoners are eligible to be detained there . The Ministry of Magic probably thinks that Peter Pettigrew is the most vicious prisoner, so hes put in a special custody .

Hearing his words, Sirius made a disdainful laugh . He doesnt deserve it! he exclaimed .

He certainly doesnt deserve it . Hes not that strong . Hes not as strong as Bellatrix . Dumbledore said calmly, But theres nothing wrong with keeping him in special custody, at least to prevent him from turning into a rat and running away .

They crossed the cell at the highest floor and began to descend down the narrow staircase on the other side .

The revolving stone staircase stretched downward, seemingly to the deepest part of the earth, straight down to hell .

The floor was now made out of primitive rocks instead of bricks, and the temperature was getting lower and lower .

Evan could hear the sound of the sea, and the cave seemed to extend deep into it .

He could not remember how long he had been walking, and the fog was beginning to fill the surroundings again .

This fog was brought about by countless Dementors, hidden in checkpoints and narrow rock crevices along the way .

Dementors floated there quietly, and he didnt know what they were waiting for .

The throat of the abyss, Ive never been there before! Sirius said, he looked as surprised as Evan . I only know that Dementors are all from this place, and thats where they came from .

Evan looked around and his unspoken sense of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger .

His consciousness began to blur, and the scene in front of him was undergoing earth-shattering changes .

But when he looked again, he found that nothing had happened, and that everything was his illusion .

In the haze, Evan followed Dumbledore and Sirius to a deep hole in the earth with a glowing green light . The number on it was 7 .

This was the cell 7, where Peter Pettigrew was being held .

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, like a balloon that suddenly deflated, pale and trembling, curled up on an iron bed .

Peters small black eyes were dull, and there was no evidence that he was alive .

He lay there, unaware of anything around him .

As the light of Dumbledores Patronus shone on Peter Pettigrew giving him back consciousness from the influence of the Dementors, his first reaction was to cry .

He cried like an ugly big child, and then realized what was going on .

He tried his best to stand for Dumbledore, Sirius and Evan . He knelt on the ground, and words of remorse were uttered by his mouth . Just like before, he was asking everyone for forgiveness, and hoping they could take him away from here .

Evan knew that he was not really sincere . He was just afraid of the Dementors and Azkaban . Pettigrew feared that he would continue to be left alone and become a soulless monster .

Evan saw Sirius kick Peter Pettigrew away roughly . He rolled aside like a ball, and then he began to climb over back to him, kissing his robe and pleading bitterly .

If he could hear what he was saying, Evan might have pity on him .

But the scene he was seeing now was completely different from reality . As Pettigrew begged, the green cave in front of him was collapsing .

Evan found that something on him was shining, and he reached out and took the thing out . It was the red nameplate Dumbledore had just returned to him!

It seemed to be awakened somehow; the monster on the nameplate seemed to have suddenly come to life .

He just heard strange words ringing in his mind and the changes happening in front of him were all the reasons for this nameplate . Evan felt his soul was coming out of his body .

It was as if the nameplate was a Portkey, opening the path before his soul to drift fast forward, and be taken to unknown realms .

It was as if he was in a dream, were light was spinning, to be swallowed up by the sea . With the light, the entire world seemed to be spinning .

Many Dementors and other hideous demons emerged from the depths of the earth . They all looked at Evan . The twisted, noisy old demons laughed, along with the little green-haired devils with bat wings .

Even the Dementors had all became excited .

Dementors are particularly sensitive to changes in the soul, and they become very excited whenever someone dies .

Evan remembered what Sirius had told him before . They were so excited . Was he going to die?!

He pulled out his wand to use the Patronus Charm .

But before he could read the spell, he found that everything around him had disappeared . The surroundings were calm, and he stood in place gasping violently .

Drawn by the nameplate, his soul has reached its destination .

It was still Peter Pettigrews cell, but there was nobody else but Evan .

Dumbledore, Sirius, Peter Pettigrew and the Dementors seemed to have never existed before .

At the location where the original iron bed was, a deep pit suddenly appeared .

It was a path going down . Although no one told Evan where it was heading, he suddenly understood that from now on it was the realThroat of the Abyss!
