After everyone entered The Great Hall Dumbledore walked in and stood next to the stool where the sorting hat sat. "It is very rare that we allow new students in the middle of the year but this is a special exception. He looks different from all of you and I want you to treat him as you any other student, and especially you Slytherins since I think he may be going in your house. With that said, Gollum please enter."

Gollum pushed open the door and walked in. Most of the students gasped when they saw him. Girls squealed and guys snickered. Draco nudged Goyle. "Must be from Weasley's side of the family" and laughed. Dumbledore raised the hat so Gollum could sit on the bench. Once on the stood Dumbledore put the hat on Gollum which ended up covering his whole body there was more snickers and giggles at the site of this.

Gollum was scared with this giant thing on his head. Then out of no where this booming voice spoke. "You're an odd one!" Gollum hissed. "I don't mean that in a bad way!" Gollum stopped making a brief 'hmpf' sound. "You've got a bit of each house in you, Gryffindor is where your braveness shows, you're very loyal which means I could put you in Hufflepuff, you're also unique and you could learn more in Ravenclaw...but there's some evil dwelling in you....dark evil which makes you perfect for Slytherin...tough choice..." Gollum grumbled sick of being in the hat. "So I shall put you in SLYTHERIN!!!" the hat boomed. Dumbledore lifted the hat and Gollum hopped of the bench to the Slytherin table.

Taking a seat next to Draco there were many whispers and stares towards his direction. "What are you?" Gollum heard the boy next to him say.

"I'm...well..." he wasn't quite sure what he was anymore. He used to be a hobbit...now he was...a creature. "I'm a hobbit!"

Draco's lip curved. "No, your not! Hobbits have big hairy feet."

"Ssssshut ups!" Gollum hissed wanting to cry. All he wanted was his ring. His beautiful preciousss....now he had to fight for it. Dumbledore had said Gollum's reason for being here and said how long he'd be here.

"You've got to fight, huh? Maybe Crabbe, Goyle and I can help you train. You see, there's nothing more we hate than Stupid Potter and his poor and mudblood friends. We'd be more than happy to help you get the ring." Draco offered.

Gollum raised his head looking at Draco with his big blue eyes. "You'd do that for Gollum? Thank you!!" he exclaimed giving Draco a big hug.

Draco shoved Gollum off. "Stop it! I don't want people getting the wrong idea."
