The obvious first step in this setting to initiating an intelligence explosion would be to find the Lost Diadem of Ravenclaw, even if all it does is accelerate processing speed and/or expand working memory capacity. Though it might be more complicated if it’s part of Tom Riddle’s enhanced horcrux network, especially if it’s one of the items he buried deep underground/sank in the ocean/hovered invisibly in the atmosphere/etc. I’m interested to see where you take this.
