The next day, Saturday, George went to the Forbidden Forest alone.
Using his psychic abilities, he confirmed that no other wizards were around. Only then did he take Tom Riddle's diary out of his storage space for the first time.
He also retrieved a quill and began writing.
"Hello, I'm George."
The ink was quickly absorbed by the diary. After about twenty seconds, new text appeared.
"Hello, George. My name is Tom Riddle.
How did you find my diary?"
The 16-year-old Voldemort's soul was somewhat baffled. He had been in Ginny's possession, waiting for her to open the diary a few more times. He'd planned to use dark magic to take over Ginny's body and resurrect himself. How had his diary ended up in George's hands?
George, a Slytherin first-year this year, was someone Ginny had mentioned—a highly talented and well-liked student, admired by all the professors. In many ways, he reminded Tom of himself.
"I know you, the infamous Voldemort. I stole you from Ginny," George wrote back confidently.
This time, the diary paused for thirty seconds before new text appeared.
"How do you know I am Voldemort?"
"I spend a lot of time in the library, even the Restricted Section. I came across a book mentioning that Voldemort's real name is Tom Riddle, a former student of Hogwarts."
"If you know I'm Voldemort, why didn't you give me to Dumbledore?"
"Because I crave power. I want to be like you—the most powerful wizard in the world—so no one will ever dare to look down on me again!"
"It seems we are alike. I can grant you power, but you must return me to Ginny first."
"Ginny has already told the professors everything today. They worked together to have Harry open the Chamber of Secrets using Parseltongue and killed the basilisk. Ginny is of no use to you anymore. If you teach me magic, I can help you with other things."
This time, the diary remained silent for a full minute before responding.
"What magic do you want to learn?"
The 16-year-old Voldemort was shocked. His carefully laid plans—so thorough that even Dumbledore had been diverted—had been ruined by these unexpected developments.
The basilisk was dead. Ginny had confessed everything to the school, leaving him no chance to return to her. If he did, he'd likely be handed over to Dumbledore immediately.
Now he had no choice but to adjust his strategy and deceive this boy in front of him.
George clearly had exceptional magical talent, ambition, and desire. Even knowing his true identity, George refused to turn him over to Dumbledore. If he could gain George's trust and take over his body, it might be an even better outcome than using Ginny.
"I've secretly learned the three Unforgivable Curses and Fiendfyre from the Restricted Section, but my progress is slow. I'd like your guidance."
George stated his intentions directly.
He was well aware that Voldemort's soul fragment was trying to deceive him, but he had no intention of trusting it. While writing in the diary, he maintained full mental defenses and kept his Light-based purification magic ready at all times, leaving no opportunity for Voldemort to take advantage.
It had taken Voldemort a full year to control Ginny; controlling him was out of the question. George planned to extract everything he could from Voldemort over the next few months and then destroy him with a basilisk fang.
"Of course, I can teach you these spells and make you as powerful as I am," Voldemort's fragment agreed readily, eager to gain George's trust to eventually seize his body.
In Voldemort's eyes, George, with his willingness to study dark magic, was clearly leaning toward becoming a dark wizard. It was unlikely he'd ever align with Dumbledore's camp. With some subtle guidance, George might even become a loyal Death Eater, allowing Voldemort to achieve resurrection.
"You truly live up to your reputation, Voldemort. If you teach me these spells, I'll surely repay you generously," George replied, throwing out a tempting promise.
Voldemort responded in kind: "As long as you follow my teachings and trust me, you'll surpass both me and Dumbledore as the most powerful wizard."
"That's great! Let's begin now!"
George's eyes gleamed as he swiftly wrote, steering the conversation toward practical matters.
From that day on, George added another secret activity to his schedule—sneaking into the Forbidden Forest to learn dark magic from Voldemort.
Surprisingly, even as a 16-year-old fragment of his soul, Voldemort proved to be a masterful teacher of dark magic. Under his guidance, George's proficiency in the dark arts skyrocketed.
But Voldemort remained unaware that the faster he taught, the sooner his demise would come.
Meanwhile, in the Marvel world near the mutant school, an unexpected visitor appeared.
"Strange, why isn't it here?"
Dressed in athletic wear, Black Widow had passed by the mutant school's entrance four times before realizing something was off.
After Nick Fury assigned her the task of investigating George and the mutants, she had been tirelessly searching for their hideout.
Through extensive surveillance and investigation, she had identified the old mutant school as a likely location.
Based on her research, the school seemed an ideal hideout for George and the mutant children. Surveillance satellites had also captured George and Wolverine near the school multiple times.
But today, when she tried to confirm her suspicions, the school appeared to have vanished into thin air.
"This only strengthens my belief," Black Widow muttered.
For her to miss the school's location repeatedly, it was likely hidden by the mutants' extraordinary abilities. This reinforced her earlier conclusions.
"Troublesome, but not insurmountable," she said, retreating to strategize.
As part of S.H.I.E.L.D., she had access to the world's most advanced technology and experience dealing with superpowered individuals. She planned to enlist the help of tech specialists from the New York branch to crack the school's concealment.
Unbeknownst to her, George was watching her with great interest from inside the school grounds as she jogged past once again.
