A certain Hogwarts professor of runes.

Fred seemed very excited. He couldn't wait to say, "Professor, besides words and simple drawings, we can also add some punishments, such as spraying black gas. Actually, stinky juice would be good too..."

"You can also add sound. If you answer incorrectly, you can hear Professor Flitwick's voice: We are wizards, not curly-haired baboons waving sticks!"

The last sentence was spoken by Fred imitating Flitwick's voice, and several of the less bright young wizards, such as Marcus and Ron, couldn't help but shudder.

"anything else?"

“The text feedback is too gentle. The tone could be stronger, Professor. George and I can help with that.” Fred was very interested in this kind of thing and eagerly offered himself to Felix.

"Hmm..." Felix imagined what would happen if these suggestions were added; the young wizards would probably have a meltdown.

"The suggestion regarding sound is quite good; it's feasible," Felix said, choosing the most promising suggestion.

The atmosphere gradually became more lively.

“Professor, perhaps we can add a scoring system so we can see our level more clearly,” said Eddie Camille, whose grades were always excellent, though he always liked to try to be clever.

"Makes sense."

“Professor Hyp, can we add our own names?” Ginny asked hesitantly.

"name?"

“It’s in the beginning, you could write something like ‘Welcome Ginny Weasley to the Quiz Space’…” Her voice trailed off, as if she were embarrassed, her cheeks and hair turning bright red.

"A very good suggestion."

"Professor, could you add logos for different colleges?"

"Professor, could you create a list of the highest scores? Different colleges could compete, like a college cup?"

"Professor, is it possible to see how other people answered the questions?"

"Professor, could you categorize the topics? Like ancient runes, history of magic, potions, herbs, general knowledge, and so on."

……

The nine young wizards chattered amongst themselves, and eventually, they began to argue amongst themselves about which function was more important.

Felix's expression grew increasingly strange. With all these features combined, it seemed somewhat like a knowledge-based game app from later generations.

Categories, quiz effects, leaderboards, friend options, competition mechanics, customizable skins...

But I just wanted to make a teaching aid for ancient magic script lessons.

Why would I add so many features? Besides, they might not even work...

After thinking for a moment, Felix said, "Write down your ideas and try to refine them. I will selectively add them in. Mr. Ron Weasley, come with me for a moment."

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

“Weasley, tell me specifically about Lockhart’s behavior that night…”

About ten minutes later, Ron finished recounting his ordeal.

“Very good. I have already relayed the information to Headmaster Dumbledore. With the information you provided, Lockhart will soon receive the punishment he deserves.”

"But before that, I must solemnly remind you, and I have said the same thing to Miss Granger: do not contact Lockhart in private. If you sense any danger, immediately seek out any professor you can see."

"Have I made myself clear enough?"

Ron looked at the stern-faced Professor Hyp, swallowed hard, and nodded repeatedly.

"Very good, you can go back now. While you're at it, please call your sister over for me."

"Ginny? What happened to her?" Ron asked with concern.

“It’s just a few minor issues,” Felix said, downplaying the problem.

Soon, Ginny Weasley approached him, looking rather reserved.

"Hello, Miss Weasley. We've met a few times before, but this is our first real meeting."

"Hello, Professor Haip."

"Let's get straight to the point. I'd like to know where you got this diary from?"

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

Felix looked calmly into her eyes: "We've met a few times before, like near Hagrid's hut, like near the girls' washroom. Do I need to explain anything more?"

He didn't mention the most crucial piece of evidence, which was information provided by Luna, so as not to affect their friendship.

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

About a minute later—

Tears welled in her bright brown eyes, but she finally mustered the courage to confess: "Professor, I don't know... I was just writing in it, that diary, it, it really has something to do with the secret room?"

"You know nothing about this?"

“I don’t know. At first, I was just writing in my diary, and it responded to me. It was very considerate and gave me advice. Later, I started to lose memories for periods of time, and it just so happened that the attack happened around that time.”

"Later, the professors emphasized in class that we shouldn't believe in black magic items, and Fred and George said so too, so I just threw it away."

She recounted her experience while sobbing.

Felix nodded and comforted Ginny, "Young wizards are always easily deceived. If you encounter similar problems in the future, you can seek help from a professor you trust. There's nothing shameful about it."

"Believe me, what seems like a difficult problem to you is often very simple to a professor."

Ginny nodded gently and said quickly, "Thank you, Professor Hyp."

“So, let’s go back to the original question: do you remember where you got the diary from?” Felix asked.

"I...I don't know. I thought my mother gave it to me, but it might not be."

"I think you must have noticed something unusual?"

“Mom wouldn’t tuck that diary inside the new book I bought.”

"A new book? Was it the day you went to Diagon Alley to buy it?"

“Yes, it happened to be Professor Lockhart’s book signing that day. He gave Harry the whole set of his new books, and Harry gave them to me. That night I found the diary.”

Lockhart and Porter... perhaps it's a coincidence.

Felix paused for a moment, then continued, "Do you remember what happened that day? Who could have touched your backpack?"

"That day, our family went shopping in Diagon Alley, oh, and Harry too, he was staying at the Burrow for the holidays, and his relatives weren't treating him very well... We ran into Hermione's family along the way. We parted ways at the bank, and Mom took me to buy a robe and a wand, then we went to buy books, and at Professor Lockhart's book signing, Dad even got into a fight with Malfoy..."

Felix stopped her in her tracks. "Malfoy? Lucius Malfoy?"

“Yes, he has a very bad relationship with his father,” Ginny said softly.

“Let’s talk about this in detail…” Felix said calmly.

Chapter 101 Research Group

After a long time—

Ginny finished speaking through tears: "Professor, will I... will I be expelled?"

"No, you can rest assured about that."

……

When Ginny returned to her seat with red eyes, Ron and the twins stared at her intently.

Ron tried to say something, but Ginny completely ignored him. She moved a small chair near Luna, who was humming a quirky little tune in her ear.

For the remainder of the time, the twins were somewhat restless, but fortunately, Professor Hyp waved them away after they submitted their written suggestions.

"Ginny, what happened?" Not far from the office, George couldn't help but ask about his sister.

Ginny shook her head.

"Did Professor Hyp criticize you, Ginny? I mean, it is a bit dangerous for you to go into the Forbidden Forest, isn't it, Fred?"

Fred replied without hesitation, “That’s right. If you’re interested in the Forbidden Forest, I can show you around… Actually, there’s not much to do there, just trees, rocks, flowers and plants.”

She bit her lip tightly and refused to speak.

Luna and Ginny walked hand in hand, and she said in a singing voice, "Professor Hyp is very easy to talk to, isn't he? But you do look unwell, I suggest you go to the school clinic."

"Thank you, Luna."

How did you know—

“Fred, George, and Ron, I’m fine. I just,” Ginny said, taking a deep breath, “had a little trouble with you, but Professor Hyp helped me out.”

Seeing that her brother was about to ask again, she said with a straight face, "I'm not going to tell you." Ginny then grabbed Luna and ran away.

Fred watched her retreating figure and said with a touch of emotion, "Ginny has grown up. She's not the little one who used to follow her brother around anymore."

George quipped, "So you miss the old days?"

“Well, the reason we reminisce is precisely to make sure we can never go back to the past,” Fred said, making a face.

The two of them started laughing and joking around.

The following week, Hogwarts remained as peaceful as ever.

Every night, the nine young wizards would report to the Ancient Runes Office and complete some tests as instructed by Professor Hyp.

In fact, most of them were confined on weekends, but Ron's confinement was a full thirty days long because of his "serious nature" and Lockhart's strong suggestion.

But when Professor Hyp promised them that subsequent detentions could be offset by the number of times they were detained, the other young wizards hardly struggled and volunteered to complete the entire detention process with him.

The reason is simple: other professors' work is all tedious and repetitive, while Professor Heip's work is the most interesting.

By the third or fourth day, they had formed a research group across colleges and were seriously discussing ways to improve the 'answer space'.

It wasn't just empty talk; it was genuine engagement.

Felix was delighted to see the young wizards' enthusiasm and was willing to offer guidance.

But as the sole technical advisor and judge, he had to reject one impractical idea after another, only selecting the parts that were easiest to improve.

“Young wizards, the professor is not omnipotent and cannot tolerate all your wildest ideas.”

This is Professor Hyp's original statement when the twins suggested adding a 'video call' function to the parchment.

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

The most basic and original version was similar to the one they saw that day, except that different college logos were added and the feedback function was improved.
