I'd say it was a nice description of Azkaban, but then I realised that it is far from nice. I think the best way of phrasing my thoughts is that it is a perfect description of Azkaban, and that it paints a brilliantly morbid picture and sets the scene with beautiful misery. Its so sad that Hagrid (who wouldn't hurt a fly) ended up in there too.

The sunrise thing reminded me of Le Miserables. "At the end of the day you're another day older... One day less to be living... And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill... And the richous hurry past... At the end of the day there's another day dawning." (various lyrcs).

I wonder how the guards are able to apparate, but can't do basic magic? Is the brick more of a heavily disguised portkey?

Something so basic as pepperup potion is enough to give him rapture. He needed taking down a peg or two - but this is really miserable. Though, what sort of punishment is right for a murderer/torturer?

Mentally he's back - and that should be the key to his recovery. It's the person that counts, not their status in society.

A FANTASTIC 1ST CHAPTER!

I like the outfit, it's simple and elegant; and ever so slightly fitted. I always have a problem imagining robes, I either imagine the cap-and-gown type thing of univeristy graduation days, or something Halloweeny. Though, with this I've got more the image of an ankle length suit-dress (the shift dress that women wear under a suit jacket, but longer), but with a more princess neckline (The sleeve cuts at a more diagonal line from the armpit to the neck - its a little reminiscent of the mandarin style), with the medieval undersleeve (not the big billowy thing, the tight one underneath it); probably a little flared at the bottom with a bit of a bustle thing at the back - maybe like a 18th century coat. (My Mum is a seamstress in her spare time, and I had great fun (and got an A) in textiles at highschool in designing something reasonably similar, but this was a coat).

His libido is on top form, but his vocabulary isn't. I think that word bypassed his brain when it came out of his mouth.

So sad that the purebloods of 'higher rank' marry for status and wealth; rather than for love. There are probably a lot of very unhappy families sat on piles of gold and jewels. Yet, the Weasleys have nothing of material value, but are the perfect example of a loving family - they have their ups and downs, but their love is unconditional.

This was the mudblood he
