Herbert the Dementor is a Harry Potter Fandom character created by TCUTS. Herbert was born in Azkaban, as all Dementors are, sometime after the fall of Azkaban during the Second Wizarding War. He was a loyal servent of The Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort, and he fought valiently during the Battle of Hogwarts. He successfully disarmed and took down 3 members of the Ministry and 1 member of Dumbledore's Army. He survived the skirmish but with the fall of Voldemort, he was unsure what to do. Luckily he was found by Witch Mae Petrie, a Slytherin student. Herbert had been living in the Forbidden Forest and was more than pleased to join Mae inside Hogwarts.It took approximently 3 days for Mae to gain Herbert's affections, allowing him to feed on her soul each day. Not much is known how much of Mae's soul remains, but rumors swirl that it is in fact, not much.

Living inside Hogwarts

Herbert was taken to the Chamber of Secrets by Ms. petrie to live out his days. As the only known source of food for Dementors was "soul sucking", it took much trial and error to figure out what exactly Herbert could eat in hiding. After 2 weeks and a near death experience Ms. Petrie was able to discern a steady diet of Honeywater kept Herbert from exploring the darker sides of his nature.

Herbert made quite a home for himself inside the Chamber, living in the old crawl spaces of the Basilisk that once had roamed the chamber. He enjoyed the dark ambiance of the Chamber, and even built seperate rooms for the "illegal" pets the Slytherin student's smuggled in. He was a caretaker for what became the Slytherin menagerie, caring for kangaroos, baby basilisks, giraffes, and even sharks! Unfortunately Herbert's lust for exploration of the castle led to a rather unseemly incident with some Gryffindor First Years, however, no students were hurt as Herbert had been well fed with thr Honeywater. The secret was out that a dementor was living in the Hogwart's castle, leading to Mae almost being expelled. Lucky for her, the former Head of House Khara House allowed Herbert to stay, as long as he did not attack any students.

The Future

Herbert is the first of his kind to successfully assimilate into wizarding culture. He has joined the Slytherin House as somewhat of a "mascot", regularly assists the groundskeeper with tasks ensuring student safety, and has more than once attended Hogsmeade with the student body as a body guard.

Herbert has been an instrumental part in a secret plot by Mae and several multi-house students' plans to "take over the Wizarding World". Herbert frequently made trips back to Azkaban to collect more Dementors, and through the hard work of the students, an army of at least 100 Dementors are ready for the day they can fufill their new masters dark plan.

While he awaits his Queen's call Herbert has kept himself busy. Herbert has applied with the Ministry of Magic in Britain, to explore career paths within the Ministry and the Wizarding World. Herbert would like to try out running shops, working for the Ministry, and possibly even set up an Office For Dementor Relocation and Support Services. His true dream seems to be, to assimilate more Dementors into Wizarding culture, and usher in a positive light in the name of Dementors.
