It was a normal start to a Hogwarts school year. Well as normal as it gets. It was a Sunday after the first week of school and everybody was already loaded with assignments. Most people were studying in their common rooms, trying not to have a breakdown, trying to get back to their common room because they were lost. Hermione as usual had already finished all her assignments and was in the library reading her favorite book Hogwarts: a History.

Hermione had become so engrossed in her book that she didn't hear the bustling of the other student outside the library. She only looked up when the door closed behind Madame Pince. That was when she realized that she would be late for dinner.

Almost all the students looked up as some one walked through the doors half way through Dumbledores "End of first week" speech. Hermione had noticed that Dumbledore was standing and Quickly sat in the seat nearest her (at Gryffindor table).

"Thank you for making it Miss. Granger as I have a special announcement." Hermione blushed scarlet as the teacher addressed her and she then buried her head in her arms.

"This year we are holding a special event that concerns talented people in the sixth year and seventh year. Also would those of you who aren't in those years not try to stay?" Dumbledore continued without a pause in his words because it wasn't much of a Question. "Let the feast begin!"

After the feast had ended many of the students below fifth year wanted to stay but soon saw it was useless because teaches were going around checking the students.

Finally the only students that were left were the sixths and seventh year students and they didn't know what the hell was going on.

"Ah..." Dumbledore said to himself as professor McGonagal walked in with the sorting hat and stool. "You may be wondering what is happening. I will begin in just a minute."

Everyone watched as Dumbledore went to the professors and quietly mumbled something to them, some nodded, some just stood their looking glum (cough Snape cough). After Dumbledore came back to the group of students the other professors left.

"There has been a new project set up that will take from around three days to 3 months to complete. As it will be taking so long many of you may wish to sit out as the seventh years have newts and need to study."

Dumbledore looked around expectantly but didn't see anyone rise and leave so he continued. "What we will be doing is we will be taking a few chosen students to three different islands and playing a muggle game called survivor."

At this many Slytherins groaned and moved as if they were planning to leave. That is until Dumbledore continued.

"There will be a prize of 1000 galleons and the newest broomstick, to the winner." The Slytherins all stopped moving and seemed to be a little interested.

"Those of you that are talented enough will be able to join but some of you I regret to say may not be able to go as you will need strength of mind and strength in strategy. The students that will be going, will be chosen by the sorting hat, so if you think you might not deserve to go you might actually be chosen to go to this event." Dumbledore said this calmly and loudly. "Now as I call your name please come up and put the sorting hat on, if you do not get chosen please leave the hall immediately."

With that said Dumbledore started calling out names and Hermione zoned out until her name was called. Just as the sorting hat was placed on her it shouted, "ACCEPTED". Hermione quickly sat down and zoned out until the end.

"Those of you left will meet me at 6:30am as we will be having photo's. Just a warning, don't wear anything fancy. Also, pack all the things you think you will need to survive on a deserted island." With that said Dumbledore left.

A/N: not a very long chapter and sorry to those people who might have the same sort of plot line as mine but I have had this chapter on my computer for so long.
