"Kritcher, please let me hold your right hand. After I count to three, Phantom Shift will take us to that cave." Dumbledore looked around and muttered, "The four of you can hold on to me, but don't hold on too tightly. I'm just leading you."
A strange scene appeared in the room. Sirius, Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione put their hands on Dumbledore's arm, while Dumbledore held Kritcher's right hand.
"One, two, three."
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Elwyn felt himself spinning.
The terrifying and uneasy feeling that he had felt when Slytherin Salazar and Phantom Shift appeared again.
Elwyn could not breathe. It was as if he was squeezed into a thick rubber tube. Every part of his body was being squeezed, and it was almost beyond his endurance.
Then, just when he thought he was going to suffocate, the invisible tube suddenly burst open.
He stood in the cool air, breathing in big mouthfuls of fresh, salty air.
Elwyn could smell the sea and hear the sound of the waves.
He looked up and realized that he was standing on a high, black rock that stuck out of the sea. The waves were rolling and foaming under his feet.
A gust of cold sea breeze blew through his hair. In the distant sky, the winter sun brought a faint and warm temperature, making people feel very comfortable when it shone on their bodies.
Then, he turned his head and looked behind him.
There was a cliff behind them, with a steep cliff wall that plunged straight down.
There were several large rocks around the cliff, like the one they were standing on. They seemed to have fallen off the face of the cliff at some point in the past.
Everything was bare and desolate. Apart from the boundless sea and rocks, there was not a single tree to be seen. There was no grass or beach either.
"Hermione, are you okay?" Elwyn asked with concern. He supported Hermione, who was swaying beside him. It was her first time Phantom Shift.
"I'm fine, Elwyn. Did we just experience Phantom Shift?!" Hermione said, rubbing her ears. "How should I put it? It's like being suddenly stuffed into a tube and being compressed into a liquid …"
"You need to get used to this feeling. When you're of age, you can take the Ministry of Magic Phantom Shift test." Dumbledore said slowly, "We should have reached our destination. What do you think of this place?"
He looked at the cliff carefully as he spoke.
It was as if he was asking them if this was an ideal picnic spot.
"If it's summer, this would be an ideal picnic spot." Harry shook his head, his face a mixture of nervousness, excitement, and uneasiness.
Then, he noticed that Sirius, who was standing beside him, had a worried look on his face.
"How do you feel, Sirius?" Harry asked hurriedly. "You look a little …"
"Terrible, isn't it?!" Sirius's pale face looked terrible. He said in disgust, "I just remembered something bad. There's a cliff like this in Azkaban. It's the only view I can see from the narrow window in my room."
"Azkaban?!" It was the first time that Elwyn heard Sirius mention that place.
"Yes, it's almost the same as here. The dark sea and black rocks … endless desolation, lifeless. No one will go there unless the Dementors are ready to throw the dead down from there … "
"Oh, Sirius!" Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione were all worried. They went up to hug him one by one.
"I'm fine. It's all over now!" Sirius's fragile side disappeared in a flash. He instantly returned to normal and said loudly, "Kreacher, is this the place where my brother died? Where is the cave?"
"Over there on the cliff, Young Master!" Kreacher said, pointing to the steep cliff.
Elwyn and the others hurriedly looked in that direction, but saw nothing.
"I didn't see anything. Why didn't you just bring us into the cave?"
"Kreacher can go in by himself, but he can't bring you guys in. There's magic there to stop him!" Kreacher's eyes widened and he said anxiously, "That's where Master Regulus climbed up."
"It's Tom Riddle's magic. It prevents others from entering the cave through the Phantom Shift. However, he ignored Houseelf's magic. This is his style. He has always been dismissive of Houseelves." Dumbledore said briefly. He then asked again, "What do you think of this place, Elwyn? “
"I agree with Harry. This is a good camping spot."
"It's a good idea. It inspired me a lot. It's very meaningful!" Dumbledore thought for a while and said calmly, "If I remember correctly, there should be a village nearby. In the summer, they would bring the children here to breathe the sea air and watch the waves."
Harry and Hermione looked at Dumbledore doubtfully. Only Elwyn knew what he was talking about.
"Riddle must have been here before he went to school at Hogwarts." Dumbledore carefully observed the bare cliff. "It's perfect. Muggle can't climb up this big rock unless they're very good at rock climbing. Boats can't get close to the cliff either. The water around it is too dangerous. I can imagine how Riddle climbed up. Magic is definitely more effective than ropes. He probably brought other children with him, probably to enjoy intimidating them. "
They took a few steps forward and walked to the edge of the rock.
Elwyn saw many uneven grooves on the rock that could be stepped on. They led to the giant pebbles that were half exposed from the sea around the cliff.
It was very dangerous to climb down from here. The rocks at the lower part of the cliff were slippery from the erosion of the sea. Elwyn could feel the cold, salty water splashing on his face.
"Where is the cave?" Sirius asked again.
Kritcher anxiously showed it to them, mumbling something about the entrance of the cave. But apart from the dark rock walls and the surging waves, Ivan saw nothing.
It must be here. They had to get closer to it.
"It's in that direction. I can feel it," Dumbledore suddenly said.
He pulled out his wand and walked to the giant pebble closest to the cliff. He crouched down and chanted a spell.
The next second, a red ball of light flew out from the end of his wand.
The ball of light floated out and shone on the sea a few feet below him.
"Do you see it?" Dumbledore asked softly as he controlled the ball of light with his wand.
At the position of the ball of light, Elwyn saw a crack in the cliff. The sea was swirling in it.
It was very well hidden behind a big rock. With the reflection from the sea, it would have been impossible to notice it if not for Dumbledore's guidance.
"Professor, have you been here before?" Harry asked in surprise, rubbing his eyes.
"Like you, it's my first time here." Dumbledore stood up.
"But how did you find the crack?"
