Synopsis

Harry Potter is thirteen years old and this year will be his third year at Hogwarts. It was his birthday, but during the day Harry had received one of the worst birthday presents from his uncle—Aunt Marg was here for a week.

An enraged Harry packed his bags and left his uncle's house, where he saw a huge black dog in the darkness, but in an instant it was gone. Just as Harry was puzzled, the Ministry of Magic's jazz bus came in the distance.

In this way, Harry came to London. Harry had been puzzled as to why the Ministry of Magic hadn't punished him for his magic on Muggles, but he gradually understood what had happened. In Azkaban's prison, he escaped sirius black, who was rumored to be the most heinous, and was said to be Voldemort's most powerful assistant, killing 13 people with a spell, and the reason he escaped from A-Caban was to find Harry Potter, and Azkaban Prison had sent dementors to hunt down Sirius.

However, things are not as simple as the rumors spread, Sirius was a good friend of Harry's parents and Harry's godfather. Harry learned that his parents had been killed by Voldemort for Sirius's betrayal, and decided to find Sirius and duel him. In the end, he learned that it was not Sirius who betrayed his parents, but Peter Pettigrew, and the two finally recognized each other.
