History of Dementors (Origins of Dementors)

Hey Guys,

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter. In my last post I discussed the story of a dark and evil wizard named Raczidian. In this post I will talk about dementors. Dementors are vicious creatures, they will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way and it is not in their nature to be forgiving.  Dementors have human-like bodies are ten feet tall and are covered in a dark hooded cloak. The creatures suck all light and happiness from the air and make anyone present extremely cold and depressed. They are gender less and don't mate but they do reproduce. They grow like fungus where there is decay basically cloning themselves and in order to survive they feed on positive emotions from human beings leaving their victims with nothing but darkness. When they do this they force their victims to relive their worst memories and bring forward their darkest and most triggering thoughts and their victims often become extremely depressed and many are driven into insanity. The more Dementors there are the worse these effects get, they're only able to feed and sense on human emotions meaning that they can't do that with animals. They travel by gliding a few feet above the ground which makes sneaking up on their victims very easy. Dementors have rotting grey skin, empty eye sockets and a gaping hole where their mouths should be, since they have no eyes the creatures are blind however they can see by sensing people's fears, sadness or any other dark emotions. So, basically Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them. Even Muggles feel their presence, though they can’t see them. Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself soul-less and evil. You’ll be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life. And in the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry’s encounter with a Dementor on the Hogwarts Express is described in great detail: “An intense cold swept over them all. Harry felt his own breath catch in his chest. The cold went deeper than his skin. It was inside his chest, it was inside his very heart. . . . Harry’s eyes rolled up into his head. He couldn’t see. He was drowning in cold. There was a rushing in his ears as though of water. He was being dragged downward, the roaring growing louder... And then, from far away, he heard screaming, terrible, terrified, pleading screams. He wanted to help whoever it was, he tried to move his arms, but couldn’t . . . a thick white fog was swirling around him, inside him.”

They use their mouths to suck the soul out of its victims and this is called the Dementors kiss when they do this it leaves the victim as an empty, shell alive but completely and irreversibly. You can exist without your soul but you'll have no sense of self anymore, no memory and there's no chance of recovery at all. No one knew what the face of a Dementor looked like, this was because anyone that had seen them take off their hood, had gotten the Dementors kiss meaning that they couldn't tell others what they looked like, as they were now pretty much gone just an empty shell unable to share what they had seen. They can speak to humans and the creatures posed a huge threat to anyone that they went up against because they were very strong and impossible to kill, the only thing that's able to stop them from attacking you is the Patronus charm. Chocolate is also the perfect antidote for anyone that has been overcome by the presence of a Dementor, when you eat it, you feel better and this is only a short-term remedy. Now let's go over their origin and history. The first place that they were discovered was on an island somewhere in the North Sea during the 15th century, they were in a fortress that would later be known as Azkaban. Dementors infested the entire fortress and they shared it with one other person a wizard named Ekrizdis. It's not known exactly how the Dementors were created and the creatures don't affect him the way they affect others which leads me to believe that he was probably the creator. When Ekrizdis died, the concealment charms that he placed on the island faded. The ministry discovered the fortress along with the Dementors, they sent ministry workers to investigate. When they got there they were heavily affected by the Dementors and refused to talk about what they had seen and the very walls of the fortress gave off misery and pain. Because of this many people thought that it was an evil place that should be destroyed, others argued not to do this because they were scared what the Dementors would do when they took their home away from them. They feared that they would take revenge, which would not go well for witches and wizards as Dementors are impossible to kill and they eventually decided to leave the Dementors and the fortress alone. Many years later Damocles Rowle became Minister of magic and he decided to use the fortress as the new prison and make the Dementors be the guards. The Dementors obeyed the ministry because they were given constant souls to feed on. The prison thrived with no breakouts and security breaches for many many years, Azkaban however was a living hell and most prisoners went insane and those that died, were buried by the Dementors in the huge graveyard that they had made on the island. That a perfect track record was broken three centuries later when Barty Crouch Jr. escaped, when he switched places with his dying mother. The Dementors didn't notice the difference because one dying person went in and one dying person came out and it's also possible that they didn't care as long as they had a soul to feed on. Many years later they caught

Barty Crouch Jr. and the Dementors performed the Dementor kiss on him. The second person to escape Azkaban was Sirius Black, he turned into a dog since he was an animagus and walked past them. The Dementors aren't able to sense animals the way they can sense humans, which is why it was so easy for Sirius escape. Few months later the Dementors joined Voldemort and rebelled against the ministry because Voldemort promised to offer the Dementors many more souls to feed on and souls that were considerably less drained. They had drained most of the prisoners in Azkaban, so getting fresh souls was very intriguing for them. Once they joined Voldemort and stopped guarding the prison there were two mass Death Eater breakouts and once Voldemort took over the ministry he started using Dementors in the courtroom where the innocent muggles were prosecuted. When the Dementors went into the Forbidden Forest with Voldemort and the other Death Eaters and when Harry walked towards Voldemort, he faced them but he was shielded by the presence of his fallen loved ones (Sirius, Lupin and his parents). After the Battle of Hogwarts and the second wizarding war ended, Kingsley Shacklebolt became Minister Of Magic and he rid Azkaban of all Dementors and replaced them with Aurors. It's unknown what exactly happened to the Dementors after they were banished.
