A/N: Okay! Time for our next chapter, the Tributes, oh yeah!


CHAPTER 2: THE TRIBUTES

"Ah, now, we shall know the tributes," Voldemort said. "But before that, does anyone want to volunteer?" Voldemort smirked. No one approached.

"Cowards," he muttered. With a flick of his wrist, a gold goblet appeared, spitting out blue flames.

"First, we shall get six from Slytherin," Voldemort said. "The first tribute is," the Goblet of Fire turned red and a piece of parchment went out. "GREGORY GOYLE."

The people around Goyle stepped away from him.

"Ah, there he is! Come boy." After a few seconds, there was parchment again. "HESTIA CARROW!"

There was someone who screamed, "NO, HESTIA!" as a girl who looked like Foxface appeared and went to Voldemort, sobbing.

"Next, we have MILLICENT BULSTRODE!" The fat girl smirked and went to Voldemort.

"PANSY PARKINSON!" Voldemort shouted. Pansy gently approached, doing her best to hide her fear.

"Second to the last Slytherin tribute is, BLAISE ZABINI!" Blaise tried to hide behind a wall, but it was no use. He approached Voldemort, looking down.

"And last, but not the least, DRACO MALFOY." Voldemort grinned as Draco approached, frowning.

"Now, these are the six tributes for Slytherin. Your mentor would be Ms. Dolores Umbridge, thank you very much." Voldemort said.

"Now, let's move on to Hufflepuff," Voldemort said. "First tribute is…LEANNE FAWLEY!"

Leanne gasped.

At first, Ron & Hermione didn't know who the girl was, but when she approached Voldemort (crying), they recognized her. She was Katie Bell's friend.

"Next will be…ZACHARIAS SMITH!" Voldemort said and Ron smirked.

"Zacharias? Isn't that the boy who was mostly against the Dumbledore's Army?" Ron asked the two girls.

"Well, at least he kept his coin. Look." Hermione gestured for them to look, and they saw a golden coin fall from his pocket.

"…HANNAH ABBOTT!" Voldemort said. Hannah sobbed and approached Voldemort.

"…JUSTIN FINCH-FLETCHEY!" Voldemort said and Ron, Ginny and Hermione whispered amongst themselves.

"Wasn't that the boy-who-was-petrified?" Ginny said, looking down.

"Yeah, and the snake, remember?" Ron whispered.

"Yeah, the one who was almost sent to Eton." Hermione said.

"…ERNIE MACMILLAN!" Ernie frowned, and then later on he grinned.

"And for the last, SUSAN BONES!"

Hermione gasped. "She . . . she . . . she was my first friend in my first year here!"

"Oh really?" Ron smiled.

"Stop teasing me, Ron." Hermione said, smiling. But then she sighed. "I miss the old times,"

"Yeah, especially when Har—" Ginny began to sob.

"Thank you, Hufflepuff. Your mentor would be Yaxley." Voldemort grinned like a madman. "Next house will be Ravenclaw."

"Our first Ravenclaw tribute would be MAISIE SHACKLEBOLT!" A small girl who looked like a 1st Year approached Voldemort. She was crying so loud. Someone screamed, "MACE!" or something like that.

"Wait a minute, wasn't that the Screaming Girl?" Ginny asked Hermione.

"I don't know, but I believe she's related to Kingsley," Hermione said.

"Next is . . . MICHAEL CORNER!" Michael, the boy who had hair which reached down to his shoulders, looked down and went to Voldemort.

"Ah, next we have, ANTHONY GOLDSTEIN!" A boy with blonde, spiky hair approached the ever-grinning Voldemort.

"Third to the last tribute of Ravenclaw . . . TERRY BOOT!" A boy with bruises and cuts made his way to Voldemort, limping.

"Second to the last will be," Voldemort waited for the Goblet to bring out the parchment . . . Meanwhile, Parvati was holding her sister's hand, Padma, to make sure her sister didn't get picked. "PADMA PATIL!"

"Padma!" Parvati screamed. "Padma, no! PADMA! PADMA!" But Padma let go of her sister's hand and approached Voldemort, sobbing. Meanwhile, Luna was quietly praying she might not get picked. Well if she did, she has to survive or save her friends.

"The last for Ravenclaw will be . . . LUNA LOVEGOOD!" Voldemort shouted. Luna flinched, and pinched herself as if letting herself wake up from a horrible dream. Ginny gasped as Luna quietly approaches Voldemort. Hermione cries on Ron's shoulder.

"That will be it for Ravenclaw, your trainer will be Fenrir Greyback." The Ravenclaws flinched and sobbed harder as they heard the name of their would-be mentor.

"And the last, but not the least, House: GRYFFINDOR." He grinned and laughed evilly. "For our first tribute," Ginny, Ron and Hermione were so nervous, they couldn't talk. ". . . SEAMUS FINNIGAN!"

Ginny, Ron and Hermione continued being nervous as Seamus approached Voldemort. "The next tribute will be PARVATI PATIL!" Voldemort yelled. Parvati ran to Voldemort as if she's excited.

"The next one . . . NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM!" Their (Ginny, Ron and Hermione) eyes widened at the hearing of Neville's name.

"Oh . . ." said Ron, quietly.

"…my…" continued Hermione.

"…gosh." Ginny finished, very shocked.

Neville approached Voldemort, limping and looking down.

"The third to the last tribute will be . . . GINEVRA WEASLEY!" Voldemort shouted and Ginny flinched. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I just . . ." Hermione sobbed on Ron's shoulder as Ron slowly let go of Ginny's hand. Ginny awkwardly went to Voldemort.

"Ron," whispered Hermione. "If you or I get picked, I just want you to know . . . that I love you so much." And Hermione kissed him on the lips.

"I love you, too, Mione." Ron whispered onto Hermione's ear. Hermione blushed lightly.

"The second to the last tribute would be . . . Hmm, RONALD WEASLEY! Two Weasleys in a row! Ha!" The other Weasleys, by now, are mourning because imagine that two of their siblings/children become forced into an Arena to fight until death, 'til one remains. Ron looked at Hermione and he slowly walked away. Hermione sobbed harder than ever before.

"And the last tribute would be . . ." Hermione kept whispering, Please be me, so she could be with Ron. "ROMIL—oh, wait, I meant, HERMIONE GRANGER!"

Hermione was so happy she couldn't help but smile. I'm gonna be with Ron! She walked to Voldemort and squeezed Ron's hand.

"Gryffindor's mentor would be Ms. Bellatrix Lestrange. Gryffindor's lucky because they get to be mentored by the Head Gamemaker of the Hogwarts Games," Voldemort said. "Now we have all of our tributes. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor."

Voldemort walked away with the twenty-four tributes, as his Death Eaters Apparated.
