Chapter 204 Traces of Magic

"Kreacher, please let me hold your right hand. After I counted to three, Apparation took us to that cave≧ ≯≯ w≦w﹤w＜＜8＜1zwcom" Dumbledore looked around and murmured Say, "You four can grab me, don't hold me too tight, I'm just leading you"

A strange scene appeared in the room. Sirius, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione put their hands on Dumbledore's arm in turn, and Dumbledore held Kreacher's right hand

"one two Three......"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Ivan felt himself spinning

That dreadful, uneasy feeling from being Apparated by Salazar Slytherin once again

Aiwen couldn't breathe, as if he was squeezed into a thick rubber tube, every part of his body was squeezed, it was almost beyond the limit of his endurance

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

Standing in the cool outdoors, he gulped in the fresh, salty air

Alvin can smell the sea and hear the sound of the waves

He looked up and found himself standing on a tall black rock outcropping, the waves rolling and foaming beneath his feet

A cold sea breeze was blowing on his head, the sky in the distance, and the winter sun brought a faint, warm temperature, making people feel very comfortable on the body

Then he turned his head and looked back

Behind them rises a cliff, with sheer walls of rock falling straight down

Surrounding the cliff are several large rocks, like the one they're standing on, that seem to have fallen off the face of the cliff at some point in the past

The surroundings are bare and desolate, except for the vast sea and rocks, there is no tree, no grass and sand.

"Hermione, are you okay?" Ivan said with concern, and supported Hermione who was staggering beside him. It was her first time to Apparate

"I'm fine, Ivan, did we just experience apparition!" Hermione rubbed her ears and said, "How to put it, it's as if it was suddenly stuffed into a tube and forcibly compressed into a liquid..."

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

As he spoke, he looked carefully at the cliff

That tone is like asking them if this is an ideal picnic spot

"If it's summer, it's an ideal place for a picnic nearby." Harry shook his head, his face mixed with emotions such as tension, excitement, and anxiety.

Then, he noticed that Sirius standing beside him was not looking very well

"How are you feeling, Sirius?" Harry asked hastily, "You look a little..."

"It's bad, isn't it!" Sirius's pale face was very ugly, he said in disgust, "I just remembered some bad things, Azkaban also has such a cliff, it is the only narrow window in my room the sights that can be seen”

"Azkaban!" It was the first time Ivan saw Sirius mention that place

"That's right, it's almost exactly the same as here, the dark sea and black rocks bring endless desolation, there is no life and no one will go there, unless those dementors are going to throw the dead from there... ..”

"Oh, Sirius!" Hearing his words, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione were very worried, and they went up to hug him one by one

"I'm fine, everything is over!" Sirius' fragile side was fleeting, he returned to normal in an instant, and said loudly, "Kreacher, is this where my brother died last? Where is that cave?"

"It's on the cliff over there, master!" Kreacher pointed at the steep cliff

Ai Wen and the others hurriedly looked there, but saw nothing

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

"Kreacher can go in by himself, but he can't bring you in. There is magic there to prevent Kreacher from doing that!" Kreacher widened his eyes and said anxiously, "Master Regulus climbed up from here back then."

"It's Tom Riddle's magic that prevents others from apparating into that cave, but he ignores the house-elf's magic, which is very much like his style, he has always been dismissive of house-elves Dumbledore said briefly, and asked again, "How do you feel here, Alvin?"

"I agree with Harry that this is a good camping spot"

"It's really a good idea, it gave me a lot of inspiration, it's very meaningful!" Dumbledore pondered for a while, then said calmly, "If I remember correctly, there should be a village near here. At some point, they should have brought those kids here to breathe the sea air and watch the waves"

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

"Riddle must have been here before he went to Hogwarts." Dumbledore observed the bare cliff carefully. Very good at rock climbing; the boat can't get close to the cliff, the surrounding waters are too dangerous I can imagine how Riddle climbed up, magic will definitely work better than ropes He will probably take other children, presumably for the enjoyment of scaring them have fun"

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

Aiwen saw many jagged grooves on the rocks for stepping on, leading to the giant pebbles around the cliffs and half exposed to the sea below.

It is very dangerous to climb down from here. The rocks at the lower part are washed by the sea water, and Ivan feels the cold water splashing on his face with the smell of the sea.

"Where is that cave?" Sirius asked again

Kreacher anxiously only showed them, muttering about the entrance of the cave, but besides the black protruding rock walls and the raging waves, Ivan saw nothing

It must be right here, you have to get closer to...

"In that direction, I already feel its position," Dumbledore said suddenly

He pulled out his wand, walked to the huge boulder closest to the face of the cliff, knelt down and said a spell

In the next second, a red light cluster 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 ball of light with his wand

At the position of the light group, under the water surface, Aiwen saw a crack on the cliff, and the sea water was swirling inside.

That location is very hidden, behind a big rock, coupled with the reflection of the sea, if it weren't for Dumbledore's guidance, it would be impossible to notice

"Professor, have you been here before?" Harry wiped his eyes and asked in surprise

"I'm here for the first time just like you." Dumbledore stood up

"But, how did you discover that crack?"

"Don't look with your eyes, Harry!" Dumbledore said softly, "Sense with your heart, magic will always leave traces, sometimes very obvious, I can already feel the magic power emanating from that crack, more than The candlelight is even more obvious in the dark" (to be continued) Tip: Log in from the computer to the mobile phone
