The Hogwarts Games

Chapter 1, The Choosing

It was the day of the Hogwarts Games. I got up out of bed and got dressed. Then I went down to the Great Hall and started eating breakfast. After three hours, Headmaster Donaldson rose from his seat and exclaimed:

"Now as all of you students know today is the start of The Hogwarts Games. It has started since the downfall of The Dark Lord. There are three tasks that give the competitors a chance to earn their house points and glory and then there is the fourth tournament: The DeathMatch".

Professor Longbottom came forward and said:

"There will be a boy and a girl chose from each house and they will be the your name is called proceed to the headmaster's study. Let the choosing begin" He waved his wand and two glass balls full of pieces of paper with a person's name on each one.

Professor Flitwick came forward stood up on a stool and pulled out a piece of paper from the girls ball:

"From Hufflepuff, Victoria Clearwater" One of my good friends stood up and started walking to the headmaster's study, her long red velvet hair streaming behind her, and her brown eyes welling up with tears which poured down her ivory skin.

"From Gryffindor, Jennifer Chambers" A girl that nobody really liked stood up with a look of shock on her face. Her brown hair remained in its bun as she ran out of the Great Hall.

"From Ravenclaw, Ariana Valentine"I looked in horror as my girlfriend Ariana stood up. She had long blonde hair, baby blue eyes, and sun-tanned skin. She had tears pouring down her cheeks as she walked calmly down the isle and out of the Great Hall.

"From Slytherin, Angelina Helling" A girl that usually kept to herself and everybody never bothered stepped up. She had dirty blonde hair and strange violet eyes. She walked out of the hall with an angry strut about her.

Professor Flitwick stepped down and Professor Trelawney stepped forward.

"From Ravenclaw, Johnny Decker" A small sixth- year boy stood up. He had bleach blonde hair and had tan skin. He walked forward assertively and out of the great hall.

"From Gryffindor, Jake Clearwater" Victoria's twin brother gets up and quickly walks out of the Great Hall.

"From Hufflepuff, Chris Stone" A seventh year boy stood up. He had short dark hair, tan skin, rippling muscles, and baby blue eyes. he walked out of the hall with a look of pleasure on his face.

"From Slytherin, Mason Black"I looked around in shock. It was my name. I stood up and walked slowly out of the hall. I went up the Grand Staircase and in front of the headmaster's study. There was a scroll floating in mid-air. It read:

The password is "The Hogwarts Games".

"The Hogwarts Games"I stuttered and the stone gargoyle guarding the door sprang to life and stepped aside. I went up the staircase into the headmaster's study. When I opened the door Ariana ran at me and hugged me.

"Mason, oh my god"She said tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I know, I know" I crooned to her trying to calm her down. I sat there trying to calm her down for about seven minutes until finally Headmaster Donaldson walked through the door with the password scroll in his hand.

He took his wand from out of his robes and cast a spell out of the window. The red, blue, yellow, and green lights hit the sky and glowed purple before finally stopping.

"The Hogwarts Games have begun" He exclaimed.
