"Kreacher, please let me hold your right hand, and after I count three times, Apparition will lead us to the cavern. Dumbledore looked around and muttered, "You four can hold on to me, don't hold on too tightly, I'm just leading you." ”

There was a strange scene in the room, Sirius, Aven, Harry, and Hermione put their hands on Dumbledore's arm, and Dumbledore held Kreacher's right hand.

"One-two-three"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Evan felt himself spin.

Once hallucinated by Salazar Slytherin, the feeling of horror and uneasiness reappeared.

Evan couldn't breathe, as if he was being squeezed into a thick rubber tube, and every part of his body was being squeezed, almost beyond the limits of his patience.

Then, just when he thought he was going to suffocate, the invisible tube burst open.

He stood outside in the coolness, gulping in the fresh, salty air.

Aven could smell the sea and hear the sound of the waves.

He looked up and found himself standing on a high black rock outcropping out of the sea, the waves rolling and foaming beneath his feet.

A cold sea breeze whipped his hair, the sky in the distance, and the winter sun with a faint, warm temperature, which made people feel very comfortable shining on his body.

Then, he turned his head to look back.

Behind them stood a cliff with a steep rock face cascading straight down.

The cliff was surrounded by several large rocks, like the one standing at their feet, that seemed to have fallen off the face of the cliff at some point in the past.

It was bare and desolate, with no trees in sight, no grass or sandy beach except for the vast sea and rocks.

"Hermione, are you alright?" said Evan with concern, holding Hermione, who was standing beside him and staggering, her first apparition.

"I'm fine, Aven, did we just experience apparition?!" Hermione said, rubbing her ears, "Why, it's like suddenly being stuffed into a tube and forcibly compressed into liquid"

"You'll need to get used to it, and when you're an adult, you'll be able to take the Ministry of Magic's apparition exam. Dumbledore said slowly, "We should have arrived at our destination, what do you think of this place?"

He said, taking a closer look at the cliff.

It was as if asking them if this was an ideal picnic spot.

"It's a great picnic spot in the summer here. Harry shook his head, his face mixed with nervousness, excitement, and uneasiness.

Then, he noticed that Sirius, who was standing next to him, didn't look very good.

"How are you feeling, Sirius?" asked Harry hurriedly, "you look a little"

"Terrible, isn't it?!" Sirius, his pale face very ugly, said in disgust, "I just remembered something bad, Azkaban also has such a cliff, and it is the only view from the narrow window of my room. ”

"Azkaban?!" was the first time Evan had seen Sirius mention the place.

"That's right, almost exactly like here, the dark sea and black rocks with endless desolation, without any life. No one will go there unless those Dementors are ready to throw the dead down from there"

"Oh, Sirius!" Hearing his words, Aven, Harry, and Hermione were all worried, and they went up in turn to hug him.

"I'm fine, it's all over!" Sirius's fragile side was fleeting, and he instantly returned to normal, exclaiming, "Kreacher, is this where my brother died at the end, where is that cave?"

"It's on the cliff over there, young master!" Kreacher pointed to the steep cliff.

Evan and the others hurried to look there, but saw nothing.

"I didn't see anything, why didn't you just take us to the cave?"

"Kreacher can go in himself, but he can't bring you in, there is magic there to stop Kreacher from doing so!" Kreacher said with wide eyes and anxiousness, "Master Regulus climbed up from here. ”

"It was Tom Riddle's magic that prevented others from entering the cave through the apparition, but he ignored the magic of the house elves, much like his style, and he was always dismissive of house elves. Dumbledore said briefly, then asked again, "How do you feel about here, Aven?"

"I agree with Harry that this is a good camping spot around here. ”

"It's a good idea, it's very inspiring, it's very meaningful!" Dumbledore pondered for a moment and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a village around here, and in the summer, they should bring those children here to breathe the air of the sea and watch the waves." ”

Harry and Hermione looked at Dumbledore suspiciously, and only Evan knew what he was talking about.

"Riddle must have been here, before he went to Hogwarts. Dumbledore took a closer look at the bare cliffs, "It's too fit, Muggles can't climb this big rock unless they're particularly good at climbing, and the boat can't get close to the cliffs, and the surrounding waters are too dangerous." I can imagine how Riddle climbed up, magic is definitely more effective than ropes. He probably had the other kids with him, probably to have fun intimidating them. ”

They took a few steps forward and walked to the edge of the rock.

Aven saw many jagged crevices in the rocks that could be stepped on, leading to the massive pebbles that were half-exposed around the cliffs below.

The climb down from here was dangerous, the rocks below were washed by the sea, and Aven felt the cold splash of the sea splashing on his face.

"Where's that cavern?" Sirius asked again.

Kreacher anxiously showed them only the entrance, muttering about the entrance to the cavern, but Aven saw nothing but the black protruding rock walls and the raging waves.

It must be here, yes, you have to get closer, you can

"In that direction, I already feel where it is. Dumbledore said suddenly.

He drew his wand, walked over to the giant pebble closest to the cliff front, crouched down and chanted a spell.

In the next second, a red ball of light flew out from the end of his wand.

Guan Tuan floated out, shimmering on the surface of the sea a few feet below him.

"See?" Dumbledore asked softly, controlling the light with his wand.

At the spot where the light cluster was, below the surface of the water, Aven saw a crack in the cliff, and the sea swirled in it.

The location was so secluded, behind a large rock, and with the reflection of the sea, it would have been impossible to notice it if it weren't for Dumbledore's guidance.

"Professor, have you been here before?" asked Harry, wiping his eyes in surprise.

"Like you, I'm here for the first time. Dumbledore stood up.

"But how did you find that crack?"

"Don't look with your eyes, Harry!" Dumbledore whispered, "Mind it, magic will always leave a trace, sometimes very obvious, and I can already feel the magic emanating from that crack, more obvious than the candlelight in the dark." (To be continued.) )
