A/N: Hi everyone! It's nice to see you again! Well, I'm in way over my head with Survivor, but I'll give it a shot. There'll be a lot more original characters in this than in StTt. Survivor is in Peru this time. I know that Survivor is an American television show, and I know that it didn't exist in 1998 (at least I think), but oh well. I can't help myself. Each chapter will cover one "episode," except for this one, which is sort of a prologue… Well, wish me luck!

Harry Potter sat on one side of a square kitchen table. His girlfriend, Jessica Walker, sat across from him. Her blonde hair was swept into a high ponytail, and the freckles she had inherited from her mother were obvious on her face.

It was summer. Harry had just graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Jessica would be a sixth year when school started again. While he looked for a job and a place to stay, Harry was staying with Jessica and her family, to avoid having to stay with the Dursleys. Christine Walker, Jessica's mother, understood that completely, having spent two weeks with the Dursleys and Harry on a reality television show called Wife Swap when Harry was nine.

"C'mon Harry, it'll be fun!" Jessica wheedled.

"I don't want to go on some show called Survivor," said Harry flatly.

"Well at least make the video with me," said Jessica.

"No." Harry flat-out refused to go on another reality television show even if the last one he'd been on had been the best thing that had ever happened to him, in retrospect. He didn't want to go on this show. He was dealing with too much as it was. Jessica wanted to make the audition video their project for the next few weeks.

"Please?" she said in her sweetest voice.

Harry ignored her. "Besides, how am I going to go on Survivor if I'm in constant pain?" he asked, grimacing a little. Actually, his pain was now growing with his annoyance.

"Oh, I'm sure that'll get sorted out soon," said Jessica with a wave of her hand, although she sounded somewhat concerned.

"Well, what about paperwork? How are we supposed to explain to the people who run Survivor that I just disappeared from the world for seven years? I have no school records or anything," said Harry. He had finally come up with the clenching argument.

"Oh, I sorted that out weeks ago," said Jessica, waving her hand again. "Dumbledore said he'd take care of it."

"Wow, you've been thinking about this for a while," said Harry, surprised. Jessica was usually such a spur-of-the-moment person.

"Yeah, I know," said Jessica, laughing a little. "I've been thinking about it ever since we knew- ever since we knew for sure that you would wake up." She said the last part with a slightly shaky voice. Harry had been unconscious for a month at the end of his last school year, and everyone had been sick with worry over him.

"So, whaddya say?" she asked after an uncomfortable silence.

Harry hesitated, then said, "I guess it couldn't hurt to just make the video."

Harry thought grimly, as he sat on a plane to Peru a few months later, that he shouldn't make assumptions like that. He didn't know how it had happened, but he had been picked, and he wasn't happy.

With Harry's unhappiness came a spasm of horrible pain in his leg, as if it had been broken. It continued throbbing for the rest of the plane ride.

A/N: I know this is really short, but it's just the prologue.

There are a few things that I should mention. One, this is Survivor: Peru. Why Peru? Well, it's a joke. "That's why Peru." (Violet Aiken, I hope you get the reference.)

The second, what happened to Harry? Well, you'll find out. He'll release the story to you in bits throughout the piece. I'm not making this up as I go along, I have the whole thing mapped out.

Third, it recently occurred to me that I'm being very weird, using reality television shows to sort out Harry Potter's emotional baggage. But I got way too attached to my characters, and now I can't stop! It's all your fault, sabrina!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter of StTt!

Violet Aiken: Yes, I love that too. That's why I put it in. Well, here's the sequel. I hope you saw the SoUE movie; otherwise you won't get the joke.

american-born-confused-desi: Yes, I know it would have been iffy for them to recognize each other, but the chapter was creeping up on 16 pages as it was, so I wanted to cut out things that I could. Sorry about your computer, but thank you for reviewing!

Midgette: Yes, very interesting. Sometimes I just can't help myself.

sabrina: I couldn't help myself. When I set out about planning this story, your little idea kept nagging at my brain, so I started thinking about their dynamic as a couple. And this is what happened. It's a good thing, actually. It made a wonderful little plot device. Why did I stop? There was nowhere else to go. I'd had that story planned in my head for a long time, and I couldn't change it. But I didn't discontinue the story.

RobinBirdWonder: Hi! I added you, okay? In fact, I'll do you one better. I'll give you a shoutout. The beginning of next chapter, okay?

Please review! Reviews are awesome!
