This is a Harry Potter and Hunger Games crossover. It is about Harry appearing in the woods one day and Katniss finding him. I really hope you guys will enjoy this! My updates won't be too frequent but I still hope that you'll still enjoy this.
Not a Katniss/Harry pairing.
OoOoO
Chp. 1 – The Boy in the Woods
Katniss made her way out the woods with a pack full of the animals she had collected from the snares she and Gale placed the day before and the ones she caught. Since the time she started hunting, which was only a few months ago, till now, this was the best catch she and Gale ever had. Gale wasn't available today due to Posy being sick, so he had to take care of her, that way their mother could go to work.
Half way through her journey back to the fence, she saw a small form on the ground. It was too small to be Gale's and she knew no one else who's daring enough to sneak into the woods not to mention this deep into the woods. Not recognising the form, she drew her bow slowly and went to inspect the person.
It was a kid, not much younger than her. His eyes were closed, but Katniss could make out his messy jet black hair and rounded glasses. His clothes almost three times too big for him hung loosely on him. She had never seen him before in District 12, but he doesn't seem like a Capitol citizen either, so she decided that it was probably okay to approach the kid. She did not lower her guard, however, she did change her bow for her knife.
She went closer to him, then nudged him. Jumping away when the boy moved. She drew her bow again as the boy's eyes slowly flicker open as if waking up from a long sleep. Katniss had to say that, the colour of his eyes were beautiful, the most striking of the boy himself. The green was so bright, like the greenest leaves, even that doesn't truly describe the colour.
When he was finally aware of his surroundings, their eyes landed on each other. His eyes widen at the look of her bow and he backed up a bit, but he lost his balancing and fell. Seeing he wasn't going to attack her, she lowered her bow.
"Who are you?" The boy asked, she stayed silent, but his strange accent didn't escape her. It didn't sound like the Capitol's, or anything else, so that confused her. She didn't question it though, she just stayed silent.
After realising that she wasn't going to tell him her name, he asked: "Where am I?"
Katniss searched his eyes for any form of lies, but it only showed confusion and slight panic. Did he really not know where he is? Yet, she decided to answer. "You're in District 12."
"District 12?"
"Yes, District 12, Panem."
"I've never heard of Panem. Which continent is it in? Europe, America?"
Catching the word America, she remembered the speeches in Reapings, they mentioned that Panem used to be somewhere in North America. So she said, "It used to be in North America."
"Used? Was it kicked out or something?"
"No. Panem is what's left of North America."
Bewilderment filled his eyes. "What's left of North America?" He repeated, as if not quite catching what she had said.
"About 300 years ago, disasters struck and most of America sank underneath the water." She explained, she didn't even know why she was telling him all this. Why doesn't he know this? Does he not watch the reaping? Or is it just the fact that he doesn't listen to their speech. That should be it. But he doesn't even seem to know what District 12 is, or even Panem in this case.
"Three hundred years..." He whispered, probably to himself. "What about Europe? England?" He asked.
She shot him a questioning glance, not really understanding what he's asking. Europe? There had been nothing else accept Panem for years now. Is Europe some other place that had also sunk underneath the water? Or are they someplace else that somehow, by miracle also survived the disasters? "Panem is the only place left, there had not been any communications from the outside for years now."
"Years, as in-"
"As in from the disasters." He seemed to slump a bit. They stayed in silence for a few moments before he spoke up again.
"What's your name?"
"Why do you want to know?"
He shrugged but answered, "I can't keep calling you 'her' or 'she' can I?"
Katniss stayed silent for a little while until she decided to answer "My name is Katniss, Katniss Everdeen."
He smiled at her slightly and said: "My name's Harry, Harry Potter."
OoOoO
