So I maybe misremembering this and I am sorry if I am but can't he use the same ward that was used on the door to fluffy (or is it to advanced)? I mean I'm pretty sure that everyone has a unique magical signature(sound). So if he can make a ward that records the signature of anyone that enters the bathroom (which isn't used because there's a creepy ghost living there) then he could quite easily find out who opens the chamber.
I don't know. This whole arc feels kinda useless to me. It's probably because of my own prejudices but... I feel this is a waste of word count and effort. Why is it MCs duty to stop the Basilisk? Despite being reincarnated, he is still just a 12 yo boy. Yet, he acts as if only he could stop the Basilisk and he neglects his studies in magic and neglects getting better, in favor of trying to find out how to counter the Basilisk. To me, it feels as if the MC lost his focus and drive. If I compare his current self with how he acted in his first year, how driven he was... I am not exactly impressed. You can argue that since only he knows that it is Basilisk, only he can deal with it... but that's just BS. There is a whole department of Aurors. If students starts to get petrified and an anonymous letter found its ways to, say, Amelia Bones describing how it is Basilisk that is responsible, also containing some pointers like 'Ask ghost Myrtle' or 'the Chamber entrance is there and there' or 'a dark artifact is possessing a student that unleashes it'... They would at the very least be required to investigate it and not even Dumbledore could stop it at that point. My idea is not really fleshed out. It's something I came up with in 5 min of thinking. But seriously... why does the MC have to be the one to deal with all problems alone? Why is he not thinking about how to do things the 'efficient' way rather than being d*mb and doing things in some convoluted BS way where only he can deal with the problem? Even if his plans didn't work and Dumbledore somehow countered them, it would still make for a much better read than this mind-numbingly boring thing this story is slowly becoming. Idk. Maybe that's just me.
