The Ministry

We are not nervous. Why would we be? We live on the entertainment these poor, helpless muggles provide. Our Minister will announce the details soon and we will be filled with pleasure from watching these miserable tributes die. Our fun is about to begin.

Our minister looks proud, as he should be. This is his first year reading the card out and it will go well for him. We know it will. He taps the card with his wand, releasing the lanterns that would announce the fate of this year's Games. A collective breath is drawn as the whole country waits in silence, waiting for the minister to announce the excitement of this year.

But it never happens.

Instead, he frowns at the lanterns, squinting towards the bright light. A few minutes must have passed with the whole country in silence, squirming in their seats, the suspense becoming too much.

Finally, the minister faces the red mirror, the one magically bewitched to broadcast this scene to every house.

"Tributes from 12 wizarding villages will be drawn tomorrow for the 112th Hunger Games! For this year only, we will rename the exciting celebration to the 112th Wizarding Games!"

Even as he stammers out this information, he looks excited, confused but excited. And we, as the ministry, feel a large amount of pity for him. He will be dead once the games are over. He will have served his purpose and we will need someone new. Someone the whole country won't be rebelling against.

The red mirror turns back to its normal silver shade as someone yells "CUT!"

The ministry better get some rest tonight because the reaping's will begin tomorrow.

And 23 wizards and witches will be sentenced to death.

A/N: I do not own Harry Potter or The Hunger Games. Anything you do not recognise is mine. This a new idea I recently came up with, sorry for this chapter being so short. It's not really a proper chapter, just something to quickly explain the beginning of my story. Message me if you have any questions :) Reviews would also be nice and help me write the other chapters. Enjoy!:)
