I know, I know. I am working on another SYOT, The Forgotten Games. Well, guess what? That's normal Panem, this is Harry Potter, so HA!

It was late in Headmaster Patrick's office, the day before term began. She walked over to the calendar, which now read August 31st, 2019. Athena Patrick let out a sigh, awaiting the Dark Lord's arrival. She was under his curse, binding her to him. She had to follow his rules, but none of the staff knew this.

"Professor Patrick? Are you alright?" The Charms teacher, Aisha Wilder, opened Athena's door.

"Oh, Aisha, you scared me!" Professor Patrick exclaimed. "Yes, yes, everything is alright." She told the Head of Ravenclaw.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Aisha asked.

"Professor Wilder, this is not the time for your wisdom!" The Headmaster snapped, near tears.

"Alright, I'll leave you to it."

All was quiet until there was a sudden BANG! Athena turned on her heels, seeing the Dark Lord sitting at her desk.

"Wow, you're getting good at apparation," Athena told him, nervous.

"Well, I learned from the best,"

"Dumbledor himself," they ended in unison.

Harry looked at Athena Patrick, a twisted sneer on his face.

"It's time," he told her.

"Time for what?" Athena asked.

"For the Hunger Games of Hogwarts, of course."
