I could smell salt and hear the waves rushing onto the beach. There was a small light, cold breeze that blew through my hair as the moon-lit laid on the water. I notice that we were standing on a rock in the middle of the water and a cliff stood behind us. 

"What do you think?" asked Dumledore like he was asking if this was a good place for a gathering

"They really brought little kids here from the orphanage?" I asked not being able to imagine it

"Not here, precisely," said Dumbledore,"There is a village about halfway along the cliff behind us. I believe the orphans were taken there for a little sea sir and a view of the waves. No, I think it was only ever Tom Riddle and his youthful victims who visited this spot. No muggle could reach this rock unless they were extremely good mountaineers and boat cannot approach the cliff, the waters around them are too dangerous. I imagine that Riddle climbed down; magic would have served better than robes and he brought 2 children with him, probably for the pleasure of terrorizing them. I think the journey alone would have don't it, don't you?" 

I looked at the cliff again and gulped.

"But his final destintaion---and ours---lie a little further on. Come," 

Dumbledore guided us to the very edge of the rock where jagged footholds leading down to boulders that were half showing. from the water and closer to the cliff. I watched Harry and Dumbledore have trouble climbing down the end. I watch Dumbledore slip slightly and knew that teleportation wouldn't help so I began to climb down carefully; I held onto Harry shoulder slightly slipping he helped me up.

"Lumos," Dumbledore said quietly holding his wand a little higher. I saw an opening in the cliff which the water was swirling

"You will not object to getting a little wet?" asked Dumbledore

"No," said Harry

"No," I replied looking at the opening

"Harry take don't place your invisibility cloak on agian--there is no need for it now---let us take a plunge," said Dumbledore

I watched Dumbledore dive into the water like  20 year old man at a swimming competition. He began to seim with a perfect breast stroke towards the dark opening on the rock. His wand in his teeth still lit. 

I looked at Harry and dove in shrugging. The water was icy, and I heard Harry follow me. I felt my clothes become waterlogged and weighing me down. I swam as fast as I could smelling the salt and seaweed. I saw a dark tunnel with slimy walls 3 feet apart and shimmered like a wet tar in passing light. The tunnel curved to the left  extending for into the cliff. I continues to swim behind Dumbledore feeling Harry right behind me. 

Then I saw Dumbledore rising out of the water onto a rock with his hair and robes gleaming. I climbed onto the rock with Harry as Dumbledore found steps leading into the cave. We all clamber up them with soaking wet clothes, and shimmering hair. I was freeze and shivering uncontralby in the freezing air. 

Dumbledore stood in the middle of the cave,his wand held high as he turned slowly on the spot examining the walls and ceiling

"Yes, this is the place," he said

"How can you tell, sir?" I asked softly

"It has known magic," said Dumbeldore

I felt a shiver around my body but I couldn't tell if it was my coldness or the awareness of enchantments. I saw Dumbledore spinning on the spot evidently concentrating on things 

"This is merely the antechamber, entrance hall," said Dumbledore," We need to penetrate the inner place...Now it is Lord Voldemort obstacles that stand in our way, rather than those nature made..."
