After almost half an hour, Felix got up from his chair and walked over to the little wizards.

"Okay, little wizards, stop."

The crowd looked up, and a few had cold sweat on their faces.

Felix scanned the circle, "Now, tell me how do you feel."

"I found it interesting, except for a few questions in the middle that came out a little weird," Luna said in an ethereal voice.

"You mean-"

"Just some questions about the Forbidden Forest," Luna thought for a moment, "like, 'You come to the Forbidden Forest because you're curious and hear a clicking sound, and you turn around and see a large Eight-Eye Spider covered with thick black fur, what should you do next? '"

"Oh, your answer is?" Felix asked a question he had just added on the spot just now as well.

"I chose 'say hello to it', hi, Mr. Eight-Eyed Giant Spider."

"Why didn't you choose to run away?" Felix asked her.

"But that's the next step to take," Luna replied with a straight face as the other young wizards looked at her with shocked faces.

Ron's eyes were going to bulge out.

"So, you're thinking-" Felix said somewhat stiffly, "that when you run into an eight-eyed giant spider in the Forbidden Forest, you have to say hello first, then turn around and run away."

Luna nodded, then added, "Actually, those two things can be done at the same time, depending on how fast it is chasing you."

"Well, thank you for your answer, Miss Lovegood. But I wouldn't recommend this, in fact, you shouldn't have trespassed into the forbidden forest, especially when you were alone without a capable wizard."

His gaze went to Ginny, the little girl who is obviously quite normal, and she bowed her head down sadly, as this is her first detention in school.

"What other insights anyone has to offer?"

"Professor, George, and I think that the feedback from the parchment needs to be a little richer, we just tested it and there are only about twenty types at this point."

"Oh? Keep talking." Felix asked with interest.

Fred looked excited, as he couldn't wait to say, "Professor, in addition to words, simple drawings, we can also add some penalty measures, such as spraying dark fumes, in fact, Stinky Liquid would be nice ..."

"You can also add sound, if you get the answer wrong, you can hear Professor Flitwick's voice: we are wizards, not curly-haired baboons wielding sticks!"

The last sentence, said by Fred imitating Filius's voice, caused a few young wizards with less than optimal brains, like Marcus, like Ron, to shiver uncontrollably.

"What else?"

"The textual feedback is also too gentle, the tone could be stronger, Professor, at this point George and I can help." Fred became very interested in this kind of thing, and he frantically introduced as much as he could to Felix.

"Well ..." Felix imagined that if these suggestions were added to the list, I'm afraid the young wizards might have their minds explode, right?

"The suggestion about the sound is not bad and has the possibility of being realized." Felix picked the most feasible suggestion and said.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up.

"Professor, maybe we can add scoring, so we can visually see our level." Eddie Camilche said, always a good grader, albeit somehow a smartass.

"That makes sense."

"Professor Hap, can we add our names?" Ginny said after a moment of hesitation.

"Name?"

"It's the part at the beginning where you can write something like 'Welcome Ginny Weasley to Answer Space' ..." Her voice was getting lower and lower, and she didn't seem too proud of it, her cheeks as much as her hair turning fiery red.

"A very good suggestion."

"Professor, can we add the logo of different houses?"

"Professor, can we get a list of the highest scores? Different houses can compete, like the House Cup?"

"Professor, can we see how other students have answered the questions?"

"Professor, is it possible to categorize the questions? Like ancient runes, history of magic, potions, Herbology, general knowledge, etc."

...

The nine young wizards were talking about everything, and it developed to the point that they started to argue within themselves about which function is more important.

Felix's expression became increasingly strange, how did all these features add up and become somewhat similar to a latter-day knowledge game app?

Divided categories, Q&A features, leaderboards, friendship options, confrontation mechanisms, custom skins ...

But I just want to make a teaching aid for the ancient runes class, right?

Why do I need all these features? Besides, it may not be feasible ...

After thinking about it, Felix said: "You guys write down your ideas and try to refine them, and I will add them selectively. Mr. Ron Weasley, please come with me for a moment."

Ron pointed to himself and got a clear response, so he followed Professor Hap to the corner of the office.

"Weasley, tell me specifically about Lockhart's performance ... on that night."

After almost ten minutes, Ron finished telling him about what happened.

"Very well, I have already passed the information to Headmaster Dumbledore, and with the materials, you have provided, Lockhart will soon receive the punishment he deserves."

"But before that, I must warn you solemnly, the same words I said to Miss Granger, do not contact with Lockhart in private, and when you feel danger, immediately seek out any professor you can see."

"Did I make myself clear enough?"

Ron looked at Professor Hap with a grim expression, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded his head repeatedly.

"Very well, you can go back, and by the way, ask your sister to come here for a while."

"Ginny? What's wrong with her?" Ron asked with concern.

"Just a few minor concerns," Felix said evasively.

Soon, Ginny Weasley came to him in a formal manner.

"Hello, Miss Weasley, we've met a few times before, but it's only now we're officially acquainted."

" Well, hello, Professor Hap."

"Let's get right to the point, I'd like to know where the diary you had in your hand came from?"

Ginny looked up in shock, her eyes wide, "Profess... Professor, what did you mean?"

Felix calmly looked into her eyes, "We've met a few times before, like near Hagrid's hut, like near the girls' lavatory, do I need to explain any more?"

He didn't mention the most crucial piece of evidence, which is the information Luna had provided, lest damper the friendship between them.

Ginny's lips quivered as if she wanted to say something, and Felix waited quietly.

After about a minute--

Tears welled up in her bright brown eyes, but she finally mustered the courage to admit, "Professor, I don't know ... I was just writing in it, that diary, it, is it really connected to the Chamber of Secrets?"

"You don't know anything about it?"

"I'm not sure, at first I was just writing in the diary, and it responded to me. It was sweet and helped me out with advice, and then, I often lost my memory for periods of time, and it just seemed to happen around that time that the attack occurred."

"And then later, when the professors emphasized in class that you can't trust dark magic items, and Fred, George, and the others said the same thing, I just, just threw it away."

She sobbed out her experience.

Felix nodded as he comforted Ginny: "Little wizards are always gullible, there's no shame in asking your trusted professors for help when you encounter similar problems in the future."

"Trust me, troubles that are difficult to solve in your eyes are often simple for professors."

Ginny nodded gently as she said quietly, "Thank you, Professor Hap."

"So, let's return to the original question, do you remember where you got the diary from?" Felix asked.

"I ... I'm not sure, I thought my mother gave it to me, but perhaps she didn't."

"I suppose you must have noticed something unusual?"

"That diary was stuck inside the new book I bought, Mom wouldn't ever do that."

"A new book? Was it from the day you went shopping in Diagon Alley?"

"Yes, it happened to be the day of Professor Lockhart's book signing event, and he gifted a full set of new books to Harry, and Harry gave them to me. I found the diary that night."

Lockhart and Potter ... quite a coincidence... maybe.

Felix fell silent for a moment as he continued to ask, "Remember what happened that day? Anyone else possibly touched your book bag?"

"That day, our family went to Diagon Alley for shopping, oh and Harry, he lived in an ugly house during the holidays, his relatives did not treat him very well ... ran into Hermione's family halfway. We parted in front of the bank and mom took me to buy robes and wands, then we went to buy books and father got into a fight with Malfoy at Professor Lockhart's book signing ..."

Felix stopped her words, "Malfoy? Lucius Malfoy?"

"Yes, he and father were on bad terms," Ginny whispered.

"Can you elaborate on that part ..." Felix asked calmly.

After a long time -

Ginny finished her story in tears, "Professor, will I, am I going to be expelled?"

"No, about that you can be completely at ease."

...

As Ginny returned to her place with red eyes, Ron and the twins stared at her.

Ron tried to say something, but Ginny completely ignored him as she moved her little chair near Luna, who hummed a goofy little tune softly in her ear.

The twins fidgeted a bit for the rest of the day, but thankfully, Professor Hap let them go with a wave of his hand after he had them turn in their proposals that they had written.

"Ginny, what's going on?" Not long after leaving the office, George couldn't help but be concerned about his sister.

Ginny shook her head.

"Did Professor Hap criticize you, Ginny? I mean, it does seem a little dangerous for you to go to the Forbidden Forest, right, Fred?"

Fred said without thinking, "That's right, if you're interested in the Forbidden Forest, I can show you the way ... It's not actually much fun, it's all trees, rocks, flowers, and grasses of some sort."

She chewed her lip rigidly without speaking.

Luna and Ginny held hands as she said in a mermaid-like voice, "Professor Hap is quite nice to talk with, isn't he? However, you don't look good, I do suggest you take a trip to the school clinic."

"Thank you, Luna."

" You know how-"

"Fred, George, and Ron, I'm fine. I just," Ginny said, taking a deep breath, "had some trouble a while ago, and Professor Hap helped me out."

Seeing that her brother still wanted to speak, she said with a stern face, "I'm not going to tell you guys." Ginny pulled Luna and stomped off.

Fred looked at her back and said with great emotion, "Ginny has grown up, not the little one following her brother's bum."

George spat out, "So you miss the old days?"

"Uh, isn't the reason we miss it, because we can't go back to the past anymore?" Fred made a funny face.

The two of them were laughing and joking around.

For the next week, Hogwarts remained as calm as ever.

Every evening, the nine young wizards reported to the Ancient Magic office to complete some tests according to Professor Hap's directions.

In fact, most of them had their detention scheduled on a weekend, except for Ron, whose 'bad nature', combined with Lockhart's strong suggestion, had led to his detention being a full thirty days in a row.

But when Professor Hap promised them that they could offset the subsequent detention according to their attendance, the other young wizards volunteered to complete the entire detention process here with him almost without any struggle.

The reason was simple: all the other professors had boring and repetitive work, and only Professor Hap is the most interesting.

By the third or fourth day of development, they had formed a research group in a decent manner across houses, discussing the improvement of the 'answer space' in a serious manner.

Not just talking in general, but really getting into it.

Seeing how enthusiastic the young wizards were, Felix is happy to see this and willing to give guidance.

But as the only technical advisor and judge, he had to veto impractical ideas one after another, picking out only the easiest of them to improve.

"Little wizards, this professor is not omnipotent and cannot accommodate all your wild ideas."

These were the original words of Professor Hap when the twins suggested that a 'video call' feature could be added to the parchment.

Finally, at Felix's suggestion, the young wizards devised several versions.

The most rudimentary and primitive version was similar to the one they had seen that day, only with the addition of different house logos and enriched feedback functions.

The twins and Ron played a huge role in this.

The feedback on the parchment can be roughly divided into two categories: compliments when the answer is correct, and trolling when the answer is wrong.

The twins impressed other young wizards in their group with their level of venom, while Ron rode the path of compliments, with a variety of flattering words that could be considered corny.

"Actually, these are the exact words of a Lockhart fan," Ron explained.

And the subsequent version, with the professional advice given by Professor Hap, they completed a stepwise iteration of the program based on the difficulty.

The leaderboard was the highest level at this point was easy to solve - he could use synchronization enchantment to summarize all the information on the parchment, into the delicate scroll he was holding.

This thing actually plays the role of a server.

Only it is not that intelligent, after getting the data it needs to arrange the high and low order artificially.

As for other versions of features, like online matches, friends lists, and division of subjects, they were not something he could solve in a short time, nor could they fit on a piece of parchment, and Felix pushed them directly to the distant future.

By the end of the week, the twins and Graham Montague and Marcus Flint had completed their detention, but they chose to stay behind and prepare to finish the job.

Ginny and Luna did the same.

Hermione, after stumbling upon the existence of the research team, immediately applied to Felix to join this temporary team.

With Felix's deterrent, no one dared to openly refer to the conflict between the houses, at most showing a mocking expression, although Professor Hap's gaze tends to follow suit at the time.

"I didn't think that we would be able to do something together, and my partner in crime turned out to be a Slytherin!" Fred muttered to George one day.

"Hey, who would have thought it anyway? It's more unbelievable than not getting into a bit of trouble at the end of our term." George shrugged.

The twins' eyes fell on the Slytherin Quidditch captain-

With Marcus' intelligence, he was incapable of offering any brilliant insights, but he basically represented the lower limit of the young wizards, and it was he, as a pure tester, who tried out the 'answer space' bug time after time.

Something like, "Professor, why did the writing on top of the parchment disappear?" "Oh, it took so long for you to figure out that I thought you were asleep".

It was until the morning of the tenth day that Felix woke up early and prepared to go to the Room of Requirement to finish his magic practice for the day.

The features of this house were something he had only recently explored.

In fact, as early as the first attack occurred, Felix discovered the Room of Requirement by accident, but he always thought that it would be a mysterious room to hide things.

At best, the concealment magic imposed on it was not bad and worth some research. The matter, however, was actually rather low on his priority list.

It wasn't until Tom in his diary told him the real secret of this room that he picked up his interest again.

The Room of Requirement could flexibly change the interior to meet the user's needs according to his whims.

This nearly instantly pulled his desire to research at full capacity, but Felix was unable to analyse the secrets of this room at all using his existing knowledge, and he could only vaguely see the magic channels that littered the room through a hidden perspective.

''The magic supply of the Room of Requirement is rooted on the Hogwarts Castle.''

This was Felix's thought.

Although his research was hindered, he developed a new way to use it, which was to practice magic spells inside.

He could use his full power without fear, including his instant killing skills. The benefits of this were obvious; at least, he didn't have to go back and forth for an hour, running deep into the forbidden forest to practice.

...

At dawn, Felix walked through the empty corridor.

When he finished his training for the day and about to go downstairs to find something to eat in the kitchen, he bumped into Lockhart.

He is hauling a large box in his hand, with two smaller boxes floating behind him.

"Professor Lockhart?"

The sudden appearance of the voice startled Lockhart, and the two boxes he had been barely levitating fell to the floor with a 'thud'.

"Who's there?" Lockhart shouted in a low voice.

Felix's figure came down from the steps, and he looked Lockhart up and down, "Professor Lockhart, are you going out?"
