As Gandalf slipped the hat over Frodo's pointed ears he felt a misgiving. What house would he be? Considering himself, he thought that he was a mixture of all four. What would the hat say? Could it be wrong?

"Now, you're a tough choice. Hints of Ravenclaw… bits of Hufflepuff… whiffs of Gryffindor. Slytherin is your least likely choice. You desire peace and safety, and you have barely any ambition. But Ravenclaw… you are very curious about the Elves and their language and culture, and you like to learn. Good, good… but Gryffindor… you were brave and courageous to take the Ring into Mordor, leaving all your comforts behind. Yet I think, because of your deep loyalty to the Shire and the side of Good, and your justice with Gollum you belong to… HUFFLEPUFF!"

The hat was taken off, and Frodo stood up to applause. Gandalf ceremoniously handed him a ebony and yellow ribbon. Frodo glanced at it and thanked Gandalf. Everyone was cheering, and some were yelling "Hail Frodo of the Nine Fingers!" It was only when he got back to his seat that he looked again at the ribbon.

The colors were black and gold. Black… Frodo didn't like this. It reminded him too much of Mordor… and the Ring. He started to shiver and threw the ribbon away from him. But no one noticed except Sam.

"Why, mister Frodo…" But he was cut off as "Samwise Gamgee" reverberated through the room.


Needless to say, this and Merry's were pretty tough.

What do you think? Does this make sense?
