"On May 2, 1998, Lord Voldemort won the Second Wizarding war. He named himself sole ruler of the British Wizarding World, and appointed his followers to ministry positions. He quickly disposed of all he deemed unworthy: mudbloods and blood traitors. Due to these actions, our society is much purer of Wizarding blood." - Lord Voldemort's Rise to Power, by Gregory Jenkins


*several months after the hunger games *

I sat alone in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express, which will take students back to Hogwarts now that winter break is over. I reflected on the past few months. Shortly after I won the games, the victory tour began. It was as if the Capitol refused to let me forget. In every district, I had looked into the sorrowful eyes of the friends and family of the deceased tributes, of the children who had been killed right before my eyes, or that I had killed myself.

One death weighed heavily on my conscience: Katniss Everdeen. Her final words echo in my head, Free Panem... Free Panem... How am I supposed to free an entire country from an oppressive dictatorship? I'm just a 15 year-old girl.

I was yanked from my reverie by a knock on the compartment door, before it opened.

"Mind if I sit here?" Inquires the dark-haired girl behind the door, "Everywhere else is full."

"Go ahead." I reply, as she takes the seat across from me.

"You know, you look kind of familiar." She comments, her grey eyes boring into mine. "I'm Abigail Road. What's your name?"

"Finch, Finch Weasley." I reply. Abigail's eyes widen in what looks like realization, I give her a confused look in return.

"You're Finch Weasley?" She exclaims in shock. "I knew you looked familiar!"

"Wait, how do you know who I am?" I ask, still very confused.

"I'm from Panem too. District eight, to be exact. Everyone in Panem knows who you are, ever since you won the games.

"Oh, right," I reply. "I didn't realize there were other students from Panem. Most think its too dangerous to sneak in and out of the country."

We chat like this for most of the train ride. I learn that Abigail is also in Ravenclaw, a year above me. She lives with her foster parents in district eight, and has been to district thirteen several times, trying to figure out what exactly is going on there..

I am glad that I have become friends with someone who has a similar upbringing as me. Maybe she will be of help in my mission.


A/N- I'm sorry there's only one character in this chapter, but there will be more after the next one, promise!
