Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 203 Traces of Magic

“Cliche, please let me hold your right hand, after I count to three, the Phantom Transform takes us to that cave.” Dumbledore looked around for a week and murmured, "The four of you can grab me, don't grab me too tight, I'm just leading you. ”

A strange scene appeared in the room, with Sirius, Ivan, Harry, Hermione sequentially placing their hands on Dumbledore's arm and Dumbledore holding Cliché's right hand.

“One... two... three...”

Dumbledore's voice just went down and Ivan felt himself spinning.

That sense of terror and anxiety re-emerged when Salazar Slytherin was carrying the phantom.

Ivan couldn't breathe, like being squeezed into a thick rubber tube, and every part of his body was squeezed beyond the limits of his patience.

Then, just as he thought he was definitely going to suffocate, the intangible tube burst open.

He stood in the cool outdoors, breathing fresh, salty silk air in his mouth.

Ivan can smell the ocean and hear the tumultuous sounds.

He raised his head and found himself standing on a tall black rock that was exposed to the sea, the waves rolling beneath his feet and bubbling.

A cold sea breeze blew his hair, the distant sky, and the sun in the winter brings light, warm temperatures that make you feel comfortable on your body.

Then he turned his head and looked back.

There was a cliff standing behind them, with steep rock walls falling straight down.

Around the cliff are a few large rocks, like the one standing at their feet, which seem to have fallen off the front of the cliff at some point in the past.

Bare and desolate, there is no tree in sight, no grass and no beach except the vast sea and rocks.

“Hermione, are you okay?” Ivan was concerned to hold Hermione, who stood beside herself and swayed, for the first time in a phantom transition.

“I'm fine, Evan, have we just been through phantom shaping?!” Hermione rubbed her ear and said, "It's like being suddenly stuffed into a tube and forced into liquid...”

“You need to adapt slowly to this feeling, and when you reach adulthood, you can take the Ministry of Magic's Phantom Expression exam.” Dumbledore said slowly, "We should have reached our destination. What do you think of this place? ”

He said while carefully cliffing.

It's like asking them if this is an ideal picnic spot.

“If it's summer, this neighborhood is a place to handle the picnic you want.” Harry shook his head and his face was filled with tension, excitement, anxiety and other emotions.

Then he noticed that Sirius was not looking well standing beside himself.

“How do you feel, Sirius?” Harry asked hastily, "You seem a little...”

“Bad, isn't it?!” Sirius' pale face was very ugly, and he said reluctantly, "I just remembered something bad, and Azkaban also had a cliff like this, the only view I could see from the narrow window of my room. ”

“Azkaban?!” It's also the first time Ivan's seen Sirius mention the place.

“Yes, almost exactly like here, the dark sea and the black rocks are endlessly desolate and without any anger. No one will go there unless the Dementors are ready to throw the dead out of there..."

Sirius! ”Evan, Harry, Hermione were all worried when they heard him, and they went up and hugged him in turn.

“I'm fine, it's over!” The fragile side of Sirius flashed away, and he instantly returned to normal, shouting, "Criche, is this the last place my brother died, where is that cave? ”

“Right on that cliff over there, young master!” Cliche points to steep cliffs.

Ivan, they looked there in a hurry, but they didn't see anything.

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

“Cliche himself can go in, but he can't bring you in, and there's magic there to stop Cliche from doing it!” Criche stared wide and said anxiously, "Young Master Regulus climbed up from here. ”

“It was Tom Riddle's magic that prevented others from moving into the cave through phantom shapes, but he ignored the magic of the Yang Pokémon, which resembled his style, and he had always disrespected the Pokémon.” Dumbledore said briefly and asked again, "How do you feel about this place, Evan? “

“I agree with Harry that this neighborhood is a good camping spot. ”

“It was a really good idea, which inspired me a lot and made a lot of sense! Dumbledore pondered for a while and said calmly," If I remember correctly, there should be a village nearby, and in the summer they should bring those children here to breathe the air of the ocean and look at the waves. ”

Harry and Hermione looked at Dumbledore in confusion, and only Ivan knew what he was talking about.

“Riddle must have been here before he went to Hogwarts.” Dumbledore is watching the bare cliffs carefully, "it fits perfectly, and Muggles cannot climb this big rock unless they are particularly good at climbing; boats cannot get near the cliffs, and the surrounding waters are too dangerous. I can imagine how Riddle climbed up, and magic would certainly work better than a rope. He should have other children with him, probably for the fun of intimidating them. ”

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

Ivan sees many uneven pockets on the rock that can be stepped on, leading down to those giant pebbles that surround the cliffs and semi-explore the sea.

It's very dangerous to climb down from here, and the low rocks are washed away by the sea, and Ivan feels the icy cold water spilling on his face.

“Where is that cave?” Sirius asked again.

Criche showed them only anxiously, mumbling inside his mouth about the entrance to the cave, but Ivan saw nothing but the dark rock walls and the waves.

This must be the right place, you have to get closer to...

“In that direction, I've sensed its place.” Dumbledore suddenly said.

He pulled out his wand and walked to the giant pebble closest to the front of the cliff, kneeling down and reading a spell.

The next second, a red light flew out of the end of his wand.

Guan floated out and flashed a few feet below him on the surface of the sea.

“See?” Dumbledore asked softly, controlling the group with his wand.

At the spot where the group is, below the surface, Ivan sees a crack in the cliff, where the sea swirls.

That position was very hidden, behind a large rock, with the reflection of the sea, which would not have been noticed if it had not been for Dumbledore's guidance.

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

“I'm new here, just like you.” Dumbledore stood up.

“But how did you find that crack? ”

“Don't look with your eyes, Harry!” Dumbledore said softly, "With all my heart, magic always leaves traces, sometimes very obvious, and I can already feel the magic emanating from that crack, more obvious than the candlelight in the dark. ”
