So here it is! Chapter 3! A bit longer :P


I was waiting with Peeta in the 'Professor's' office.

Peeta and I were flabbergasted about what he said. It was all becoming a bit too overwhelming. The whole place was like a castle and was very grand. The office itself had a range of curious things. There was even a strange looking bird.

"Peeta, I think we should get out of here," I said to him. "This is all getting a bit too much."

"But where are we going to go Katniss? This is obviously nowhere near Panem. But this place does seem like the Capitol with all its grandness..." Peeta replied.

Just then the big door opened and in walked the old man.

"Welcome! I am Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of this school of magic!" he introduce himself. "This will come as quite a shock to you but yes, magic does exist and non-magical folk are known as 'muggles' to wizards and witches."

Peeta was the first one to react to this statement. "Prove it then!"

The old man smiled and pulled out a stick. He pointed it at a small shelf and said "Wingardium Leviosa!"

To my surprise, the shelf actually lifted off the ground! With a thud it landed back on the ground.

Peeta just nodded. I don't think there was any other way to react to the whole thing.

"So as you know, the book transported you here. I will do my best to find out more about where you have come from but until then you are welcome to be a part of Hogwarts. Just to make it a little formal,

I'm going to 'sort' you into your houses, where you will be staying. Also, I don't expect you to do any magic of course but you are welcome to live here," said Dumbledore.

He picked up a dusty old hat off a shelf and placed it on my head. Suddenly a tiny little voice spoke up in my ear. "Hmm a tough one! A lot of courage yes, but cunning too! Where shall I put you? It better be GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled.

I gingerly took the hat off. "What's Gryffindor?" I asked.

"It is one of the four houses of Hogwarts. The other three are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin," replied Dumbledore.

Peeta curiously put the hat onto his head. I prayed with all my heart that he would be in the same house as me.

"GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the hat. I gave Peeta a big hug. At least we would be together in this place.

"Now you must be hungry. The feast is still going on downstairs. Head over to the Gryffindor table and please, enjoy!" the Professor smiled warmly.

I smiled back and Peeta and I left the room and headed down to the Great Hall.

Then the thought struck me. How were Peeta and I going to live here? We didn't know magic or anything of that sort. We were according to Dumbledore 'muggles'. Maybe we could just live here and hang around with the other kids. Then the other thought struck me. What about the victory tour?

By this time we had reached the huge Hall. As soon as we walked in there was silence. I held on to Peeta's hand tightly. Then the old teacher who had led us to the office came up to us. "I'm Professor McGonagall. You have been sorted I presume."

I nodded. "The house called Gryffindor I think."

She led us to the table at the far right of the room.

"Oh darn it! That girl was pretty nice looking. She should have been in Slytherin! Hardly any presentable girls in this stupid school," came a voice from the other side.

I turned on my heels to see who the speaker was. It was a boy with pale blonde hair. I walked over to him and slapped him hard across the face. How dare he? The whole hall had become silent. Professor McGonagall came over and led me away. "Wait till my father hears about this! This school is going to the dogs!" yelled the boy.

"Draco Malfoy I will not have you talk like that about this school!" said the Professor. "Go ahead to the hospital wing if it is bothering you so much."

The boy gave me a dirty look and started whispering to his friends.

"Miss Everdeen however he may have infuriated you that was not the way to react. You must apologise," she said to me. I was sooo NOT going to do that. Then Peeta came up to me and told me to do the same.

"Fine. I'm sorry I slapped you. But that was no way to talk about someone!" I said loudly. The boy just smirked. Ooh he made me so mad!

I walked over to the 'Gryffindor' table and sat down where there was an empty seat. Peeta sat down across me. The Great Hall had gone back to its loud chatter. I looked around the table. I was sitting next to a boy with black hair and glasses. Across from me was a girl around my age with bushy brown hair. She smiled at me. "This must be really weird for you. I'm Hermione Granger," she said.

I smiled back. At least some people were nice in this place. "I'm Harry Potter," said the boy who was sitting next to me. He had the most amazing green eyes. WAIT!? Why did I care about his eyes anyway..? Next to Hermione was a boy with red hair and freckles. "I'm Ron-Ron Weasley," he said. Peeta seemed totally comfortable around them and started chatting about magic and the school. Harry was just kind of quiet and so was I. I didn't want to start getting any ideas about anyone here, I decided.


Pretty interesting huh? Hope this was long enough for ya ;) Let me know what you think in reviews...should Katniss be falling for Harry? Or is Peeta the one? Oh and btw Katniss is sort of bubbly in this story. Not her usual self. I like how she is in both.
