From Azkaban

In addition, the magic network knowledge given by Locke was not given randomly, but was given after comprehensive consideration of the situations of each professor, so every professor could basically see the essence of it.

"Sure enough, it's just a part. But even if it's just a part, it's enough to show the magic of the magic network. Judging from this part alone, the magic network technology combines at least alchemy, consciousness spells, rituals, potions, no, it seems that there are some meteorological spells."

"In addition to these, there are some structures that have never been seen before. They should be the technological concepts borrowed from the knowledge of Muggles as Professor Kazir said."

Dumbledore carefully looked through the knowledge of magic network technology in the folder. Unlike other professors, as the most capable one, he naturally received the most tasks, so he could see more things.

In addition to him, the folder in Quirrell's hand was of the same grade. Naturally, the things in the folder were not for him to see, but for Voldemort.

Although Locke does not deny Quirrell's ability, after all, from the details of the original work alone, it can be seen that Quirrell himself has the ability, and it can even be said to be excellent.

But with a bully like Voldemort around, Locke could only look up to Quirrell, who could only be called excellent.

Anyway, Locke didn't believe that Voldemort would not be interested in the magic network, and as long as he was interested, he would definitely read the magic network knowledge he prepared for Quirrell.

And the situation was just as Locke had expected. Voldemort took the knowledge about the magic network that Locke had given him more seriously than Dumbledore.

"This Locke Kazir is indeed a genius. This magic net only needs a few modifications to become a perfect tool for ruling."

Reading the knowledge of magic network technology on every page of paper in the folder, Voldemort kept making sounds of admiration in Quirrell's mind.

Listening to Voldemort's praise for the magic network and Locke, Quirrell also opened his eyes wide and carefully checked the technical knowledge on the paper, but sadly found that he could hardly understand it.

"You're just a piece of crap! Locke Kazir has explained all this knowledge so clearly, and you still can't understand it. You're such a piece of crap."

Voldemort, sensing Quirrell's thoughts, insulted Quirrell without mercy. Quirrell trembled all over after being insulted, but dared not say a word, or even think about it. He just endured it silently.

"It seems that Voldemort has taken the bait."

In front, Locke, who was driving the "Sian Westin" at a moderate power and paying attention to Quirrell, raised the corner of his mouth. Through Quirrell's expression, eyes and even body changes that seemed to be in slow motion, Locke was sure that Quirrell was communicating with Voldemort just now.

"The external brain is ready. Next, the first step of development will be to use online virtual teaching as the first step to determine the basic logic of the school version."

“As for the social version, it can only be used one-on-one now, which is too simple and the information dissemination rate is still low, so the first step is to create a public space that accommodates all users.”

Locke also knew that Snape had been refining medicine in the magic network space. After all, they were all members of the Round Table Council, and few outsiders used the magic network.

It was through Snape's operation that Locke discovered the potential of the magic network in this area, which is why he promised Professor McGonagall to develop teaching functions.

As for the public space, this is not difficult either. With the dedicated space for the Round Table Council buried deep in the magic network as a foundation, Locke is confident that he can solve it in a short time.

Volume 1: Chapter 123: Lao Fu is shocked

Time passed slowly, and soon, the professors in the office finished reading and began to discuss with each other under Locke's guidance.

Before speaking, Locke told everyone his preliminary development direction, so that the professors and Dumbledore could have some idea of ​​the subsequent development.

In this way, the subsequent development of the magic network officially began.

In the small office, everyone followed Locke's instructions to log into the magic network in a semi-login state, and then began to get started step by step.

As time passed, bursts of heated discussions could be heard from the room from time to time.

During the time when the professors gathered together to develop the magic network, the order within Hogwarts was basically maintained by the prefects and some remaining faculty members.

At the same time, the professors spent some time developing the magic network. Correspondingly, some of the original course time was taken up. After all, time cannot appear out of thin air.

But there is no need to worry that this will have a negative impact on students, because the professors have specially adjusted the time for developing the magic network.

In order to solve this problem, Professor McGonagall called Locke to work together to make reasonable adjustments to the Hogwarts curriculum, which had remained unchanged for many years, and cut out some arrangements that had little impact and were not very reasonable.

In this way, part of the students' original teaching time was freed up, and after Locke and Professor McGonagall discussed, they decided to use this freed up time for students to study on their own.

The so-called self-study is to arrange it as a special class for Magic Network, let students use this part of time every day to become familiar with the cognitive Magic Network, and then assign corresponding Magic Network homework to each student.

Let students use the magic network to verify what they have learned, deepen their understanding of their existing knowledge, and complete some exercises and learning that are very risky in the outside world.

Each category requires a corresponding paper to be submitted, and after it is written, it must be submitted to Locke for correction.

Locke recommends that students complete their papers within the magic network and then submit them directly through the magic network.

Compared with writing papers outside, this not only saves a lot of time, but also makes it more convenient for Locke to correct them, and finally reduces paper consumption.

Of course, the last and most crucial point is that the special classes of Magic Network will also be counted in the daily anti-addiction time.

In the design of Professor Locke and Professor McGonagall, the magic network courses are almost the same every day, so for students, if they want to play in the magic network, they must complete the self-study tasks of the day first.

The faster they complete their course work, the more free time they will have.

Faced with such an inhumane arrangement, the students naturally felt very uncomfortable, and secretly complained about Professor McGonagall's coldness and ruthlessness.

But they were helpless, after all, the final right of interpretation was in the hands of others, so if they wanted to use the magic net, they could only start working hard and pray to grow up quickly.

..............................

"Harry, have you heard that Gringotts was directly breached by a dark wizard last night?"

In the Slytherin common room, Ron, who was supposed to be in the Gryffindor common room, was sitting next to Heli, maintaining a semi-logged-in state on the magic network while gossiping.

His practical training and some training that required full login to the magic network have been completed, so now he has switched to a semi-login state.

Right next to him, Harry and Draco were in the same situation.

As students who had been taught by Locke personally for two months, the first-year courses at Hogwarts were not difficult at all for the three of them. Even Ron, who used to be weak in essays, now performed with ease.

"Ron, don't disturb Harry's studies. If you do this again, I won't let you in next time."

Draco, who was able to spend some quality time with Harry while Snape was away, used his eyes to warn and drive away the little Slytherin wizards who wanted to get close to him, and at the same time retorted to Ron.

"Um... okay."

Draco's threat was very powerful. After all, if he wanted to come in and find Harry, he could only rely on Draco. After all, Harry was usually protected by Snape, and the other Slytherin little wizards could tell the answer from the cold looks they gave Ron at this moment.

The time of self-study passed quickly. When the three of them had completed their course assignments, submitted their papers through the magic network, and were ready to start a pleasant chat and play, the door of the Slytherin common room quietly opened and a black figure entered silently.

"Ron, why are you here?"

The cold and indifferent voice sounded, causing Ron, who was smiling and preparing to talk to Harry, to shudder instantly and jump up from his seat and turn around.

"Professor Snape, I...I...I'm here...I'm here to see Draco! Yes! I'm here to see Draco!"

Under Snape's cold gaze, Ron's forehead sweated slightly, his brain began to work rapidly, and finally he pointed his finger decisively at Draco who was gloating beside him.

"Oh? Is that so Draco?"

As Ron shifted the blame to someone else, Snape turned to look at Draco, forcing Draco to immediately put away the smile on his face.

Faced with the request for help from his good brother and rival, Draco nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, Dean, Ron came to see me. We agreed to complete the Demon King's course tasks together."

"Humph"

Snape snorted coldly, told Harry to study hard, and left, shouting at him.

"Father, are you done with your work?"

Harry walked beside Snape, holding a few books in her hands, tilting her head with a curious look on her face.

"Well, Professor Kazir has made sufficient preparations. I believe it won't be long before you, Harry, can use the new features of the new magic network."

Snape had a fatherly smile on his face, but as he spoke he thought of the news that Locke had told him through the magic network when he was developing the magic network just now. Thinking of Voldemort who was possessed by Quirrell at this moment, he became very nervous.

"Harley must not be allowed to meet Quirrell alone until Quirrell is dealt with."

This was exactly why Snape rushed to the Slytherin common room as soon as the class was over. As an old father, he was simply worried.

Just as Snape was taking Harry back to his office, preparing to give Harry some private lessons, Quirrell, who had just finished developing the magic network for the day and returned to his office, soon learned the news from Gringotts.

"Take off your headscarf!"

A voice with a hint of anxiety came from behind Quirrell's head. Hearing the order, Quirrell immediately took off his turban with trembling hands and turned around so that Voldemort's face was facing the newspaper.

In fact, Voldemort could also see the newspaper through Quirrell, but the information in the newspaper was unbelievable to him, so he had to check it himself.

"Someone knows...someone is collecting..."

Voldemort's hoarse and weak voice was filled with undisguised disbelief and anger, which made Quirrell, who had no idea what was going on, tremble with fear.

Volume 1: Albania 124

Voldemort, who has always been suspicious by nature, or has never believed or trusted anyone except himself, chose to hand over the Horcrux to his subordinates, but never told them what it was.

The same was true for Lucius and Bella. Similarly, Voldemort would naturally understand where the two of them eventually placed his Horcrux.

So when Voldemort saw the newspaper reports about the attack on Gringotts and the looting of Bella's vault, he was almost instantly certain that the other party was going for his Horcruxes and not for any other purpose.

After all, it is not difficult to see from the reports that the wizard who attacked Gringotts had enough strength. If he was after money, he could have taken more.

But he didn't, after doing that, he only looted the vault that belonged to Bella, that's all.

"Master...Master...what on earth...what on earth happened to make you like this..."

"what!!"

Quirrell opened his mouth to ask, but he ended up becoming Voldemort's punching bag, who was filled with shock and kept repeating the impossible.

The tremendous pain ran through Quirrell's body and soul, causing him to fall to the ground with a roar, his body beginning to twist and curl up unnaturally.

"I was wrong! I was wrong, Master!"

Qi Luo begged for mercy with difficulty, his voice was intermittent.

Voldemort did not respond to Quirrell's plea for mercy, but he soon realized that he needed to explore the other Horcruxes to determine how much that guy knew, and at the same time move the locations of the remaining Horcruxes.

Thinking of this, Voldemort stopped torturing Quirrell. He still needed this piece of trash.

“Hoo~~~!!”

As Voldemort stopped, Quirrell, who was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, took a deep breath like a fish out of water, and began to gasp with sweat all over his face.

"Thank...thank...thank you for your kindness, Master"

Dumbledore and Locke, who were hiding in the dark, saw it all. Looking at Quirrell struggling to get up from the ground, Dumbledore could not understand why his student chose this path.

"Idiot! Hurry up, go to the Room of Requirement, quick!"

"Yes, Master, I'll go now..."

At this moment, Quirrell did not dare to disobey Voldemort's order, even though he did not know how to enter the Room of Requirement.

Under Voldemort's guidance, Quirrell stumbled to the Room of Requirement and entered the room where the Ravenclaw Diadem was originally hidden.

"Then I'll be leaving first, Headmaster Dumbledore. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

Locke smiled slightly as he watched Voldemort start to act as he expected. Next, the Dark Lord will gradually discover that almost all of his Horcruxes are gone, and the only one left is Nagini.

At that time, Voldemort, who was extremely conceited and completely distrustful of others, would inevitably call Nagini back to his side and arrange a new hiding place for her that he thought was safe.

And then, that would be the time for Locke and Dumbledore to take action, and that would also be his true farewell.

Locke turned around and used Apparition to leave. That's right, the restrictions of Hogwarts could not take effect on Locke, it had always been like this.

"........."

Looking at Locke who used Apparation to leave to find Sirius, Dumbledore remained silent, but his estimation of him was raised again.

After Locke left, Dumbledore also entered the Room of Requirement. While watching Voldemort getting furious, he was also thinking about the two Black brothers.

Just before, in Quirrell's office, Locke, who was certain that Voldemort would go according to plan, informed Dumbledore of the situation of Sirius and his brother.

Let Dumbledore know that Sirius and his brother were heroes, not criminals and Death Eaters.

Of course, Locke said this not to make Dumbledore feel guilty or anything. He just promised Sirius that he would clear his brother's name, and Dumbledore was undoubtedly the most suitable person to do this.

So now Locke set out to meet Sirius and let Kreacher lead the way to get the replaced locket and bring back Regulus' body.

At the same time, in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, Voldemort must not know that the locket had already been replaced.

Therefore, Locke needed to destroy all of Voldemort's arrangements and leave traces so that Voldemort could accurately judge the time of destruction. This would make Voldemort more certain of his guess, increase his sense of urgency, make him more anxious, and lose his composure.

"Oh!"

Number 12, Grimmauld Place, the Black mansion. With a loud bang, Locke appeared at the door of the old house.

This old house protected by the Fidelius Charm was not hidden from Locke, not because he was strong enough to ignore the Fidelius Charm, but because Sirius had already revealed the secret to him, namely: Locke was also one of the secret keepers.

"grown ups"

The moment Locke appeared, Sirius, who had been waiting for a long time with Kreacher, came to greet him.

"Stop talking nonsense. Voldemort will move quickly. We need to hurry up here too. Let Kreacher lead the way."

Raising his hand to stop Sirius from greeting him, Locke turned his gaze to Kreacher who was looking at him nervously.

"Kreacher"

Sirius also knew that the situation was urgent, and turned to look at Kreacher beside him.
