How were Quirrell and Bellatrix surviving the Dementors while Harry had the invisibility cloak?
First Harry summoned his Patronus, which shielded them all. Then he took the cloak. Quirrel became a resistant snake. Bella drank a hyper-potion. Only then did Harry dispel his Patronus.
And did the escape let out the Dementors and spray transfigured engine exhaust all over the countryside?
I don’t know what you mean by “letting out” the Dementors. They’re not constrained in Azkaban; they live in a pit beneath the open sky, and no magical defense could stop them from leaving anyway.
The bit about the exhaust is true, but presumably it’s transfigured from water, just like Harry’s original version. Even if someone breathes a bit of the smoke it shouldn’t be too dangerous.
Ah okay. That also explains Dumbledore’s reaction.
I was under the impression that the Dementors lived inside Azkaban, and so when I read the part about them rising through the air, I thought it must have been through the hole Harry made in the wall. Now that I think about it, it makes sense for them to rise into the air to chase Bellatrix.
