Got it!
After returning from the girls' dormitory, he didn't immediately return to the dormitory. Instead, he rode the flying broom away from the castle.
Throughout the journey, he accelerated the speed of his flying broom to its maximum, and landed in a nearby Muggle city. Disguised as a Muggle, he circled several bars in the city and repeatedly changed his appearance and attire before returning to Hogwarts.
By the time he had returned to his normal size and nightclothes, and lay back down in the Slytherin dormitory, it was already four in the morning.
After dispelling the enchantment on his three roommates and lying down to sleep, he also closed his eyes and fell into a dreamland.
The next morning, everything was back to normal except for Ginny herself, who had no idea that he had snuck into the girls' dormitory and taken Voldemort's diary.
Actually, under normal circumstances, no one should have discovered that it was him who stole the diary last night, but there's no way around it; he has to face Dumbledore.
Once Ginny confesses, Dumbledore would definitely investigate who stole Voldemort's diary.
That's why he went through so much trouble and effort last night.
Now he only hopes that Dumbledore won't use the Time Turner, because if he does, then whatever he did last night is likely to be of little use.
He thinks it shouldn't come to that, as neither Hagrid nor Sirius were saved by using a Time Turner when they were wrongly accused. This indicates that it's not that easy.
The critical point is that the Time Turner can only go back five hours, and anything beyond that has potential danger.
However, even if he's caught, it's not a big deal really. At most, Dumbledore would just pay special attention to him.
What does he do? He hasn't killed anyone or started a fire, and he hasn't done anything morally wrong. He's just curious about the diary.
He could also lie and say that he was bewitched by Voldemort or something.
In any case, considering Dumbledore's character, he wouldn't just secretly eliminate him for stealing Voldemort's diary, would he?
So, he's not really that worried about exposing himself.
It's just that not revealing it would be better for him.
His studies at Hogwarts would also be smoother.
On Friday morning, two classes of Potions were normal. After lunch in the Great Hall, he was dragged to the third-floor bathroom of the Weeping Cherry by Harry, Ron, and Ginny.
"What are you doing here?"
George pretended to be puzzled.
Harry took a deep breath and said:
"George, Ginny told us something, and we might know where the entrance to the chamber is?"
"George, I don't want to deceive you, but I was really scared at the time. However, you're right; we shouldn't run away from our mistakes. In fact..."
Ginny stepped forward and recounted her story again.
"So you're asking Harry to try using the Inferi's words to open this chamber's entrance?"
George first feigned shock and then asked.
Hermione nodded in agreement.
"Yes, if Harry can really use the Inferi's language to open the entrance of the chamber, we'll immediately notify the professors and have them deal with the basilisk inside."
That way, no one will be harmed anymore, Dumbledore can return, and the school won't have to close due to the basilisk."
"Then let's give it a try. If we tell the professors directly like this, they might not believe us."
George pondered for a moment and agreed to Harry's plan.
After all, just opening the entrance isn't enough for the basilisk to get out; there's still a second door inside.
That's just it. When the professors deal with the basilisk, Harry and his friends won't have to worry about it anymore.
It's both safe and reliable.
It's also an opportunity to witness a battle between the world's top wizards and the basilisk, which should be greatly beneficial for his magical studies.
Just thinking about it makes me a bit excited!
Following Ginny's instructions, Harry walked to the poolside and spoke to the copper faucet with a small snake etched on it:
"Open!"
The entire pool didn't show any change.
"Harry, you need to speak in the language of the Inferi, which is a hissing sound, not normal human language."
Ron warned him, somewhat nervously.
George put Ginny and Hermione behind him:
"If anything dangerous happens, hold onto me."
Actually, he knew there was no real danger at all, but he had to act like it to seem normal.
You have to act it out completely.
Harry and Ron trusted him not only because of their trust in him but also because they valued his strength, which could offer them protection in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
George was the only young wizard who had escaped from the basilisk's grasp, and not only did he escape, but he also saved Hermione. This naturally provided Harry and his friends with a great sense of security.
"Okay, we're not afraid of that guy!"
Ginny and Hermione grabbed George's robe on either side, shivering slightly while nodding their heads.
Though both girls were Gryffindors, and though they were scared, they were also very brave. While grabbing George's robe, each of them quietly took out her own wand.
When the basilisk comes out, they won't rely solely on George. They also have spells they are good at, which can help support and assist them.
Ginny also knew there was a second door inside, and the basilisk couldn't have come out, so she told Harry and the others about it. However, they were still nervous in their hearts.
It was a chamber left behind by the legendary founders of the four Hogwarts houses, including Slytherin, thousands of years ago. The creature within was a basilisk, a magical beast that could kill anyone it looked at.
"Open!"
Harry closed his eyes and prepared himself, then spoke again.
This time, he did not speak in normal English; instead, he hissed like a snake.
At once, the spout with a small snake emblem emitted a brilliant white light and began to rotate rapidly.
Following that, magical energy fluctuated and the pool began to move as well. Gradually, it disappeared, revealing a thick pipe that led to an unknown depth.
The diameter of the pipe was just right to allow an adult to crawl inside.
"I'll stay here, you go tell the headmaster and the other professors quickly!"
George, as soon as the entrance to the chamber appeared, drew out his wand and pointed at it in a defensive posture, addressing Harry and the others.
"Don't worry, I can fly. Even if the basilisk were to come out, it couldn't catch me."
Harry and his friends looked at each other, and without hesitation, they all sprinted towards the offices of the headmasters of each house as quickly as their little legs could carry them.
"If Voldemort finds out, he'll probably be furious."
As Harry and his friends left, George thought about the Voldemort's diary in his outfit-changing space and couldn't help but smile to himself.
The sixteen-year-old Voldemort, who had finally gained Ginny's trust and was gradually able to control her actions.
In just over a month's time, he could directly take over Ginny's body and resurrect.
Now, he has thoroughly messed everything up. The killer basilisk would soon be defeated by the professors.
