The Perfect Azkaban Breakout

pstibbons

Story Summary:
Three years post-HBP. Hermione and the Order want to break Harry out of Azkaban. The bespectacled twit got himself thrown in there when he failed to kill Lucius Malfoy subtly enough. Starts off H/G and R/Hr but Ron and Ginny are killed off in the first chapter. Hermione burns Harry in effigy, kills Draco, negotiates with a traitorous and unredeemable Snape, brews potions with Fleur, gets drunk with the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan, organizes an illegal jailbreak, writes columns for the Quibbler, and helps Harry come to terms with his Animagus form. This fic comes with a warning (aimed at diabetic readers) for an excessively sappy ending.

Rufus Scrimgeous meditates on the events that sent Harry Potter to Azkaban.
