+[[!meta title="They Eat Happiness"]]
+
+In canon, Dementors don't eat happiness; they clearly feed on *un*happiness,
+and are driven away by happiness. But everybody says they feed on happiness.
+
+So, okay, let's make Dementors who feed on happiness. They make you feel happy,
+as they drain your life away. Azkaban is escape-proof because no-one wants to
+leave (except Sirius, who knew that Pettigrew was still out there, and that
+Harry wasn't safe).
+
+The Patronus is a dark, dangerous spell. You have to focus on true misery in
+order to cast it. Children are incapable; they simply have never known genuine
+pain.
+
+Except for Harry, who only has to think about returning to the Dursleys.
+
+Third year, probably wants to lead to a dark!Harry as he learns the power that
+can be fueled by embracing his strife.
