What would you think on this subject? By the way this is when she is 11 and before her father died. Oh, and it's the 69th or 68th Hunger Games.
Katniss' POV
I sighed audibly, so Gale could hear me. We were in the meadow, and the 68th hunger games just passed, next Summer I would be putting my name in 6 times. I didn't need to worry about Prim for a few years but I couldn't help but worry for Gale. Just because I wanted it didn't mean Gale got out of the Hunger Games.
"What's wrong Catnip?" Gale smirked.
"Nothing, just the Hunger-"
"What? The, ahem" Gale started speaking in a Capitol accent. "Happy Hunger Games? And may the odds be Ever in your favour."
I busted out laughing for the first time in weeks. I gave a slight smile after I saw him grin. Just as we got up to go home, an owl came from above.
"What the-"I started but then a letter dropped onto my head.
The owl flew away suddenly leaving me with a cream coloured envelope in my hands.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" Gale was upset.
I quickly skimmed the letter, something about magic.
"I'm not sure what this is. But I need to be at the train station by 11 am tomorrow…"
I ran home to my mother and father, and younger sister Prim.
"Mummy! Daddy! Primrose!" I cried as I ran in.
They all looked up.
"Honestly Katniss do you need to make that much racket?" My mother was treating a patient, she spoke impatiently.
"Come with me Kat." My father walked across the room. "Prim, help your mother."
Prim nodded and ran across the room.
My father led me to a hole in the fence.
"The woods?" I began but my father cut me off.
Once we were near a strawberry patch, my father sat me down.
"Please pass me the letter." He said quietly.
I was surprised. "But- How did- Here" I handed him the letter.
His eyes skimmed it several times over. A wide smile crossed his face. He picked me up and spun me around like when I was little. He put me down and pumped his fist in the air.
"That's my GIRL!" He shouted.
"What is it Daddy?" I said breathlessly as I perched myself upon a rock.
"Katniss." He said breathlessly. "You are a witch."
"A wha- No such thing." I said thinking it was a prank.
"A witch is a true thing. I'm a wizard. Watch." He pulled out a long slender stick, about 10 inches. He pointed the stick at a Katniss flower. "ACCIO Katniss!"
The flower flew to his hand. He presented it to me. I didn't take it, I was afraid.
"Why? How could you not tell me?!" I screamed. "HOW?!"
The water behind him started moving; it rose into a tower and fell onto him. He was still smiling.
"A mighty good witch may I say." He offered generously.
After that he took me home and explained to me about witches and wizards and about magic. I was to board the Hogwarts express the next day.
Dean's POV
"Mum!" I cried "Have you seen my robes?"
"Next to the washing bin!" She yelled back at me.
I ran downstairs to the washing bin, I grabbed my robes. As I was sorting through them I saw a flash of white paper.
I picked it up to realize it was my acceptance letter.
"MUM! MUM! It's arrived!" I called out.
My mother bustled into the room grabbed the letter and started crying joyfully.
"Bless my soul! I knew it would come, one day." She started to squeeze me tightly. "Oh! How everyone would love to hear this, how proud your father would have been, had he been a wizard of course."
The next day
I boarded the train slowly after the (what seemed like) 100th hug from my mum. As I ran to get a compartment at the back of the train I bumped into a girl with dark hair pulled back into a braid and olive skin. When I went to apologize when she looked up, her eyes were a bright gray, full of laughter and happiness.
"Sorry." She said quickly.
"No it was my fault." I offered. "What's your name?"
"Everdeen. Katniss Everdeen." She mumbled.
"I'm sorry? Did you just say Catnip?" I checked.
She gave a slight smile before correcting me. "Katniss."
I put out my hand so we could shake hands. "Seamus Finnegan. Want to sit with me?"
Katniss nodded.
Moments after we sat down a young girl with buck teeth and bushy hair came in with a chubby boy with dark hair.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but is it possible to sit with you." The girl stated.
"It seems that everywhere else except here and another compartment is full." The boy said.
"Names?" Katniss asked.
"I'm Neville" The boy, Neville said.
"I'm Hermione Granger, and you are?" The girl seemed snotty.
"Katniss Everdeen and that's Seamus Finnegan." Katniss said nodding at me.
"Oh NO! Where's Trevor?!" Neville suddenly cried out in shock.
Harry's POV
"I'm Ron, by the way, Ron Weasley." The ginger boy across from me said.
"I'm Harry Potter." I said.
"BLOODY HELL!" Ron paled. "Is it true? You have… the scar?
I lifted up my bangs to show him. "So you know magic I suppose?"
"Yes, my brother, Fred, taught me a spell wants to see?" Weasley said eagerly.
"Sure."
Just before he cast the spell two girls opened the compartment door. One had bushy hair and one had dark hair in a braid.
"Hi, have any of you seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost his." The bushy hair girl said.
"No." Ron sighed.
"Sorry" I offered.
"Are you doing magic?" The girl with a braid asked before stating. "Well then, let's see."
A smile spread across Ron's face. He pulled out his wand and chanted. "Sunshine, daisy, butter, mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!"
"Are you sure that's a real spell?" The bushy haired girl said as she slid into the compartment with the other girl following behind her. "I've only tried a few myself but here goes. Oculus Repairo." She flicked her wand and suddenly my glasses were fixed."
The girl with the braid sighed and rolled her eyes. Obviously she didn't think the girl with the bushy hair was interesting, more annoying.
"Holy Cricket!" The bushy haired girl yelled out. "You're Harry Potter."
I nodded and she continued. "I'm Hermione Granger, and erm." She looked over at Ron. "You are?"
Ron had his mouth full with food but that didn't stop him from looking up and saying. "Ron Weasley."
"Pleasure." Hermione said, although she didn't sound very pleased. "Well, we'll be arriving soon, I'm going to change into my robes. Come on Katniss."
The girl with the braid snapped out of a daze, and nodded curtly.
Hermione went down the hall, and Katniss stayed for a second. "I hope I'll be seeing you both at school. Bye Harry, bye Ron." She was about to leave when she stopped turned and said. "Ron, you've got dirt on your nose. Did you know?"
Ron started to rub his nose and Katniss suppressed a chuckle. She shook her head angrily before making her face emotionless again.
Later at the castle, after the sorting song.
No POV
A stern looking teacher with a tight bun looked at a giant list and began reading off names.
"Abbott, Hannah." A little girl walked up to a stool and a sorting hat touched the top of her head, after a few moments the hat yelled out. "HUFFLEPUFF."
As a few kids were being sorted a boy with pale blonde hair swaggered over to Katniss. "I'm Draco Malfoy. Would you like to be my friend? I'll help you pick the right friends, of pure blood status only."
Katniss backed up towards Harry and Ron. "I'm a half-blood. Get away from me Malfoy."
"Katniss Everdeen"
Katniss walked up confidently, the hat called out "GRYFFINDOR"
"Seamus Finnegan."
"GRYFFINDOR"
"HERMIONE GRANGER." The professor yelled.
The girl walked up, and sat down. She was placed into Gryffindor.
"Draco Malfoy."
The Hat called out before Malfoy even sat down. "SLYTHERIN"
"Peeta Malark"
Peeta, a boy from district 12 along with Katniss, walked up he looked worried. "Gryffindor!"
After a couple more kids were sorted into the houses.
"Harry Potter."
"GRYFFINDOR"
"Dean Thomas"
"GRYFFINDOR"
"Ronald Weasley."
"ANOTHER WEASLEY? GRYFFINDOR!"
After the sorting the house ghost came out.
