People are in Hogwarts, What the hell is the flood system?

The sound of golden bells, audible only to me, rang in my ears, and the system screen before my eyes began to refresh. I, Rhine, couldn't help but tense up.

"Damn it?"

"So, the system's Golden Bell trigger was actually that 'Hannah Abbott'?"

But after a moment, Rhine thought about it and realized it made some sense.

After all, the Harry Potter world may change, but Hannah Abbott is a constant!

In any case, the system was as blind as ever, which was a relief to Rhine.

At this moment, after the message congratulating Rhine appeared, a large amount of information began to flash across the system screen.

【Induction Ceremony in progress, the Saint gazes from afar, the system needs to be temporarily hidden while it completes an upgrade】

【Please handle the following matters on your own】

Immediately, the system screen entered a state of flickering.

Rhine didn't mind the system hiding away. After all, he still had his talent, and the Sorting Ceremony at Hogwarts wasn't exactly a mountain of knives or a sea of fire; there was no danger.

Compared to that, he was more interested in the "Saint" the system mentioned.

He had seen Voldemort before, but the system identified Voldemort as the Daoist Duobao.

Although Daoist Duobao was the senior disciple of the Jie Sect and a top-tier existence in the Investiture of the Gods, capable of deploying the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation with the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords on behalf of the Tongtian Sect Leader, he was ultimately not a Saint.

That difference was like heaven and earth.

Although the system was blind, Rhine felt that its judgments had some logic to them after seeing it so many times.

Voldemort was already the top-tier existence in Harry Potter, but the system still didn't recognize him as a Saint.

It's hard to say who's stronger between Dumbledore and Voldemort, but it's safe to say the difference isn't huge, and the system definitely wouldn't recognize him as a Saint either.

Rhine guessed that it was likely the highest-ranking disciple of the Chan Sect, who was opposed to Daoist Duobao – the Immortal Weng of the South Pole.

So, who is the Saint?

The four founders of Hogwarts, or an even more ancient existence?

Is it related to ancient magic?

Rhine gently stroked the wand in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.

The waters of the wizarding world are deep.

However, judging from the original work, even the later wizarding wars didn't unleash anything more extraordinary, so it seems that getting in touch with the "Saint" level of things isn't that simple.

At least, if you don't court death, you don't need to consider these things.

The thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down, and Rhine's attention returned to the Hogwarts Great Hall.

After all, the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and Rhine didn't want to miss any exciting moments.

Professor McGonagall was still calling out names.

"Susan Bones…"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

A little girl put down the Sorting Hat and walked towards the Hufflepuff table. Almost all the professors looked at her with gentle eyes.

Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff, took the lead in applauding enthusiastically.

Rhine understood that this was due to the Bones family name.

This family could be said to be full of loyal martyrs. Even though most of them came from Hufflepuff, they showed courage in resisting Voldemort and the Death Eaters, even provoking Voldemort himself to kill the Bones couple.

In the original story, in 1995, after a Death Eater escaped from prison, he couldn't forget the old hatred and cruelly killed Susan Bones' uncle, aunt, and several cousins.

Thinking of this, Rhine's eyes also showed a few traces of sympathy.

Next, one by one, characters Rhine recognized were sorted.

Lavender Brown, Ron's first girlfriend in the original story, was sorted into Gryffindor.

Seamus Finnigan, the famous demolition expert, the Sorting Hat hesitated on his head for a full minute, seemingly wondering where to send this one to let him display his talents.

In the end, sure enough, he was sent to Gryffindor, known for its adventure.

Explosions and adventures, recklessness, and the like are the perfect match!

Finally, there was movement from the people around Rhine.

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione's sorting in the original story was glossed over, but in fact, whether it was J.K. Rowling's description or the subsequent supplements in the original story, it showed that Hermione was also a "difficult sorting".

The Sorting Hat hesitated on her head for at least five minutes, constantly wavering between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

In the end, it felt that Hermione's courage was more prominent than her thirst for knowledge, and sorted her into Gryffindor.

The process of Harry's sorting need not be repeated. It was arguably the biggest commotion since the sorting began, and the cheers it elicited almost lifted the ceiling of the hall.

After Harry, there were only four people left.

Rhine and Ron were both included.

The next one to be called up was Rhine.

"Rhine Snow!"

When this name appeared in the hall, it immediately caused shock among the Muggle-born freshmen.

The sound of discussion almost rivaled that of Harry Potter's sorting.

"Rhine Snow?"

"Oh my god, is that the famous Rhine Snow, the one hailed by the Queen as the pearl of British literature?"

"Heavens, when I was in school, the teacher forced us to memorize his anthology every day, and now you're telling me that Rhine Snow has also come to Hogwarts?"

"Which house will Rhine be sorted into?"

"Does that even need to be asked? Ravenclaw produces many literary giants. Gilderoy Lockhart was from Ravenclaw. Now it seems that Ravenclaw will have another literary giant."

Hearing this noise, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and others looked at each other, not expecting that a Muggle-born wizard could cause such a big stir.

At this moment, Rhine stepped forward, took the Sorting Hat, and put it on his head.

The Sorting Hat's voice immediately sounded in his mind.

"Oh, it seems to be another young wizard who was famous before entering school. Let me see, um, complex, very complex."

"A clever mind, an amazing ability to learn and comprehend, but I heard those little wizards discussing that you are a literary giant?"

"Also, has Gilderoy Lockhart become a literary giant too?"

The Sorting Hat's voice was filled with obvious doubt.

"Strange."

"I clearly feel that neither of you have literary potential. That Lockhart child should be very accomplished in Obliviation Charms and should become a cutting-edge scholar of Obliviation Charms."

"Well, it seems that everyone has their own destiny."

"As for you, although your talent is very suitable for Ravenclaw, you don't actually have that much desire for knowledge. Ravenclaw is not suitable for you."

"You like to make friends, you are very reliable, and you support your friends. This is very much in line with the style of Hufflepuff."

"However, Hufflepuffs are all honest people, diligent and conscientious, and you seem to have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. As for diligence… forget it, I feel like you can't even be considered close."

"Then there are only Gryffindor and Slytherin left. Although the answer is already in my heart, I still have to ask you a question."

"If you were sorted into Slytherin, what would you do?"

Rhine smiled slightly and responded to the Sorting Hat's question in his mind.

"Of course, I would make friends widely, make more friends, and make fewer enemies."

"Those who are willing to associate with me are all my friends. Those who are unwilling to associate with me and oppose me, in order to prevent them from going astray, I have to take on the responsibility of supervision, hang them up and beat them, three times a day…"

"Let me go to Slytherin, and I guarantee to eliminate the unhealthy trends left by the Dark Lord and restore a bright and clear world to the wizarding world!"

Rhine said powerfully in his mind, and the Sorting Hat fell silent.

"Similar, too similar."

"What you say and what you do are very similar to a young wizard from back then."

"He was very approachable, very charismatic, extremely so, and he indeed united the wizards of Slytherin, but the things that happened later were too regrettable."

"In view of past experience, plus the private requests of your friends Harry and Hermione, saying that they hope to be sorted into the same house as you, and…"

"Mr. Draco Malfoy firmly stated to me that he absolutely does not want to be in the same house as you, otherwise he will commit suicide directly."

"I think this result is good for everyone."

The Sorting Hat loudly announced Rhine's sorting result.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The moment this result came out, Harry excitedly stood up and applauded.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she hadn't promised to send the Sorting Hat cleaning fluid for nothing.

A smile also appeared on Rhine's face, and he slowly walked down.

Before his eyes, the flickering screen gradually solidified.

【Congratulations to the Host for officially joining the Chan Sect and becoming a disciple of the Yuanshi Tianzun.】

【System upgrade complete, Talent Fusion function has been activated!】
