From Azkaban

The man who appeared at the door took a long breath and then exhaled. At the same time, he looked at the paper bag in his hand with hope and expectation, then smiled and walked towards the cabin.

"Honey, I'm back."

The man pushed open the door, greeted his wife who was sitting on the sofa watching the buns, put away his wand, then raised his hand to take off the top hat on his head and hung it on the hook of the coat rack beside him.

"How is it? Did you buy it?"

The wife, who was also sitting on the sofa and looked haggard with messy hair, stood up from the sofa when she saw her husband coming back. She threw the newspaper in her hand on the table. From a bird's-eye view, one could just see what the wife was reading.

"New Era Newspaper" is the name of the newspaper at the top, and in the article column below, a line of large vertical characters occupies almost one-fifth of the page.

"The werewolf problem has been solved, and the magic potion is back. Another amazing work from the creator of the magic network!"

A quick glance at the rest of the text shows that it is basically introducing Locke, the magic network, and the return potion, taking up an entire page.

The wife dropped the newspaper and walked forward, her eyes immediately fixed on the paper bag in her husband's hand.

"I bought it. Three months' supply."

The man picked up the paper bag in his hand and shook it, and upon hearing this, his wife's tightly pursed lips relaxed.

"Ellie is in the room, I'll bring her down now."

After saying this, the wife turned and went upstairs. After a while, she came downstairs with a little girl with blonde hair who looked about seven or eight years old.

"dad"

The little girl had a very depressed expression. Her right hand was wrapped in a bandage and hung around her neck. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

"Ellie, does your arm still hurt? Come, drink this, and your arm won't hurt so much after you drink it."

Looking at his precious daughter, the man kept a gentle smile on his face. He opened the paper bag and took out a small bottle of return potion. From the opening, he saw two more bottles of the same potion in the paper bag.

"Well"

Ellie drank the potion obediently, and the couple watched nervously beside her.

"How's it feeling Ally?"

Watching her daughter drink all the potion, the wife reached out to take the empty bottle and asked expectantly.

“It really doesn’t hurt anymore!”

The potion took effect immediately. Ellie felt the difference right after drinking it. Her arm, which had been hurting, suddenly stopped hurting. This made her very happy, and her admiration for her father doubled.

"........."

Hearing that it really worked, the wife raised her right hand and pressed it to her chest, she breathed a long sigh of relief, then said nothing, held back the tears in her eyes, sent the child to the room on the second floor, and then returned to the living room on the first floor.

"Well!"

After returning to the first floor, the wife could no longer hold back her tears. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, tears bursting from her eyes.

"That's great, it's really great..."

When she thought about everything her daughter had experienced since she was attacked by a werewolf, she felt as if she had been through hell and heaven in just a dozen days.

"We are lucky, and so is Ellie. Next, we just have to wait for the first full moon. But from the reports in the newspaper, Professor Kazir has done a lot of experiments and confirmed the effect, so there will be no problem."

"With this magic potion, our Ellie will surely continue to grow up happily in the future."

The man stretched out his hands and pulled his wife, who was sobbing with her hands covering her mouth, into his arms. While comforting her softly, he looked at the newspaper on the table. The big vertical word was so eye-catching.

Situations similar to that of this family of three are happening all over France, and the most powerful driving force behind this is the newspaper Le Temps Nécessités.

This was originally just a small, unknown newspaper that had just been established. However, because it caught the news and reported it at the first time, it immediately left an impression on many wizards.

At the same time, unlike other newspapers, this new newspaper not only reported on the werewolf issue, but also spent a lot of time and effort to vigorously promote the information about Locke and the Magic Network in the newspaper, making the Magic Network, which was still only a niche in the French magic world, enter the public eye along with the werewolf issue.

Volume 1: Chapter 143 Data Completion

At the headquarters of New Era Newspaper, in the general manager's office, a member of the newspaper staff was excitedly reporting the situation to his general manager.

"Well, keep following up. Remember, the magic network is our main direction. Before the magic network enters France, we need to let the wizards here know it."

Rodolphus sat behind the table and spoke with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, we will definitely do a good job. Now, with the help of Lord Kazir's article, we have taken the first step, allowing many wizards to understand what the magic network is, and understand Lord Kazir's great ideas and goals."

When the reporting member talked about Locke, his eyes were full of fanaticism and admiration. Although he had never met Locke, this did not prevent him from following Locke.

After all, he and other members of the French branch chose to join because they recognized the Round Table and Locke's ideas.

Now, as things move forward bit by bit, the members of the French branch are becoming more and more determined, and their admiration for Locke is deepening.

Besides, they will be able to meet Locke soon. All the members of their branch will attend the press conference online in two days.

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

The hustle and bustle of the outside world did not have much impact on Hogwarts, whether it was the professors or the students.

As the last few days passed, Magic Network's new feature "Online Classroom" completed the final polishing ahead of schedule and was successfully launched.

However, launching the "online classroom" is not an easy task. As a new course that is about to be launched, the "online classroom" also requires various arrangements and preparations.

The first thing, of course, is the course arrangement and data collection for each subject, and then there are preliminary trial classes to determine the completeness of the courses in the magic network.

After all, although the magic network can replicate reality exactly, this is all based on the user's own cognition.

The magic network can be replicated to the extent that the user can understand it.

However, that was the previous single-player version of Magic Net. Now with the development of new functions, Magic Net has entered the era of multiplayer interaction, so the standard for reproduction is no longer a single player, but countless people.

For the current Magic Network, every user from now on will be providing it with new knowledge and understanding all the time, allowing it to grow.

Take Snape's previous experience of brewing potions in the magic network space as an example. From now on, with every step he takes, the magic network can gain valuable knowledge and understanding from it to fill the gaps in its own knowledge of potions.

And every time Snape made progress and showed it within the magic network, the magic network also grew.

Naturally, after obtaining this valuable information, the magic network can provide everything needed for teaching, ensuring that students' learning in the magic network space is basically the same as in the outside world.

So, now with the launch of new functions, this problem has become a problem that every discipline needs to solve.

Professors need to be familiar with the current magic network, solve existing data gaps, and try to develop the potential of the current magic network.

It was after confirming this that Locke realized that how high the magic network would grow in the future was something that even he, its creator, could not predict.

The magic network has now become a newborn world. As it grows step by step, it will eventually become an equally real world without any trace of falsehood.

Faced with such a result, Locke could only sigh that the magic of this world once again refreshed his cognition.

"How about Professor Snape?"

In Snape's Happy Room, which was filled with all kinds of precious potion materials, Locke was standing with a group of professors, watching eleven students who were making potions. Looking at the students who were making potions seriously, Locke turned to Snape beside him and asked.

“No problem at all”

At this moment, eleven light screens are unfolding in front of Snape, and each light screen represents a student. Relying on the information on the light screens, Snape can accurately understand the real-time situation of each student and accurately discover every problem and mistake of the students.

"Okay, then let's exit the magic network now and go outside to have them follow the steps inside the magic network."

Hearing Snape's answer, Locke nodded with satisfaction. They had conducted experiments like this many times, and this was the last one. As long as it was successful, it would mean that the potion could be launched online.

In front, the eleven people who were finishing up received Locke's message and immediately stopped what they were doing and exited the magic network.

As they left, Locke and a group of professors also disappeared. After they disappeared, everything in the room collapsed in the blink of an eye and returned to nothingness.

Outside, in the dungeon of Snape's classroom, Draco and others who had exited the magic network immediately picked up the ingredients that had been prepared on the table and started to cook.

"Potions class is done, next up are Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, and Library. Once these three are completed, the online classroom function can be officially put into use."

Looking at Draco and others who were brewing potions, Locke thought silently in his heart.

After the online classroom was developed, Locke called on all the professors and capable faculty members in the school to provide data for the Magic Network.

Not only Hogwarts, but also Rodolphus, Sirius and others provided data to the Magic Network. At the same time, a large amount of data provided by users was also collected by the Magic Network.

Relying on so many users, Locke completed the data completion of the magic network in a very short time, and then called on the eleven students from his club to start testing each course one by one.

The students in the Locke Club cover seven grades, and they are all excellent and smart students, so it is no problem to let them take the test.

Under the watchful eyes of professors and the headmaster, Draco, Harry and the others quickly finished brewing the potion, and Snape stepped forward to check.

"No problem. The knowledge and experience they have accumulated in the magic network is no different from that in the outside world. It is better to say that their learning in the magic network is more effective and accurate than in the outside world."

"For example, Harley, the confusion potion she brewed has surpassed most third-year or even fourth-year students."

Snape stood beside Harry with a proud smile on his face. Harry was extremely talented in Potions, but being able to surpass most of the third and fourth year students within the first month of her first year was indeed something to be proud of.

Hearing this answer, Dumbledore led the applause, and the professors who were already accustomed to Snape's smile also followed suit with smiles on their faces.

"Since there is no problem, let's start the test of the next subject and try to complete all the tests today."

After clapping a few times, Locke called on everyone to enter the magic network again and began the test of the transfiguration class.

Because it does not require a specific venue and equipment like potions, the Transfiguration test was completed in the Potions classroom.

The test of Transfiguration was much simpler than that of potions. After all, the basic and intermediate Transfiguration mainly depended on belief, so it was not complicated. As for the advanced level, Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Locke had all been tested one by one.

After the Transfiguration course verification is completed, it will be the test of the Protection of Magical Creatures course. This is the simplest. Locke only needs to continuously guide and link the existing magical creatures into the magic network.

The magic network will record all the data of these magical creatures. Later, as long as the corresponding courses are conducted in the classroom, Professor Kettleburn can retrieve the corresponding creature data at will and replicate it.

Volume 1: Chapter 144: A New Atmosphere at Hogwarts

Because of the Care of Magical Creatures class, Hogwarts urgently mobilized a group of needed magical animals.

Some of these magical animals were captured from the Forbidden Forest, while others were borrowed from farms and conservation areas in other places.

As the data was completed, these magical animals were sent back to their respective habitats one by one.

After completing the testing and data completion of the Care of Magical Creatures course, the school version of the "Online Classroom" function of the second-generation Magic Network only had one function left to be completed.

"Is this all right, Professor Kazir? I always feel that this classification is a bit too... rough."

In a space with endless bookshelves in front and behind, Professor McGonagall spoke with a slightly hesitant tone. She originally wanted to say it was a child's joke, but... considering Locke's level, she changed her words.

"No, Professor McGonagall, you don't need to worry. As I said before, knowledge itself needs to be continuously spread and passed down from generation to generation. No matter what kind of knowledge it is, it is the precious crystallization left by our wizard ancestors. What we should do is to extract the essence through inheritance, rather than blindly cutting it off."

Locke understood Professor McGonagall's concerns, and seeing that he classified a lot of dangerous knowledge and normal knowledge into the same acquisition level, it was normal for the respected old professor to feel that something was wrong.

But as someone who has learned those "dangerous" knowledge, Locke himself also has his own profound understanding of that knowledge.

Many of the so-called "dangerous" knowledge can actually promote the progress of magic.

A lot of "dangerous" knowledge contains various treasures, waiting for every wizard to dig.

This is also the reason why Locke set the conditions for obtaining some dangerous knowledge very easy. The so-called genius and madness are only a matter of thought. The use of knowledge depends entirely on the individual. Whether you are a genius or a madman depends on your own choice.

Locke seeks progress; he is not one to block off knowledge because of concerns about what might happen but has not yet happened.

"Okay, that's all. If Professor McGonagall is really worried, you can be more cautious when granting permissions in the future. You can also regularly ask Madam Pince for the reading and borrowing records of books during that period."

This huge library that exists in the magic network is still managed by Madam Pince, but unlike the libraries outside, this library has more books, but it is easier to manage.

This online library not only contains all the original books in Hogwarts, but also newly added books from Locke's collection and books from the Muggle world.

But these are not the most valuable things. The most valuable thing here is the "knowledge" of Locke and a group of professors.

That's right, this library contains all the "knowledge" of all Hogwarts professors and staff, including Locke, Grindelwald, and Dumbledore.

The knowledge that everyone has learned, the accumulated understanding and insights, the memories during the learning process, and so on, have all been transformed into books and included in the online library.

This knowledge is also graded with other knowledge, which is the main reason for Professor McGonagall's concern.

As the top wizard in the wizarding world second only to Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall knew only too well how dangerous some of the knowledge possessed by wizards of their level was.

Not to mention others, she herself had studied the forbidden art of human body transformation in depth, and situations like this were inevitable, because no one could completely abandon a part of knowledge.

If you want to move to a higher level, you must have enough foundation and learn all kinds of knowledge, regardless of black and white.

"Minerva, let's do as Professor Casimir says. Times are changing, and we can no longer continue to do things the same way as before."

Looking at Professor McGonagall who was a little speechless, Dumbledore's gentle voice rang out. Hearing that Dumbledore also supported this, Professor McGonagall said nothing more and nodded silently.

"Okay, thank you professors. Please be prepared when you go back home tonight. Tomorrow, we will start our first online class."

Locke was a little surprised that Dumbledore would support such an idea which seemed a little radical to traditional wizards, but when he saw Grindelwald winking at him, he immediately understood and turned to look at the professor behind him.

"As we agreed before, professors are requested to summarize their feelings after teaching in the previous week. We will discuss this in the online meeting every night to ensure that we are familiar with online teaching as quickly as possible."

After Locke finished speaking, he saw the professors nodding to indicate that there was no problem. Seeing this, he turned and looked at Draco, Harry and others on the other side.

"I'm sorry to bother you today, but I believe you should have gained something. Summarize it after you go back. Each of you should write a twelve-inch summary paper and hand it in. The time limit is two days."

"Ah?" Ron, who had never expected that he would have so much homework, immediately put on a mask of pain.

"No problem, Professor." Except for Ron, all the other students behaved calmly. Draco even carefully nudged Ron with his elbow to remind him to control his facial expression.
