CHAPTER 3

By this point I am pretty tired and the adverts seem to be going on forever but finally the Replays come back on. I didn't think I'd be this excited about the games when they don't usually bother me. It's maybe because there seems to be something about this years tributes so far, that makes me intrigued and I can't wait to see the others. I sit up with anticipation as Caeser crosses back onto the stage, waving at the cheering crowd.

He smiles and does the usual 'Welcome back' and then he says:

'Lets see our tributes from District 7! Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley!'
It cuts to District 7 and I see the two tributes standing on the stage. OK so I know all the other tributes looked sad, except the careers obviously, but at least they tried to look happier. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley look absolutely miserable. I start to observe Harry, taking in every detail of his appearance.

Harry Potter is medium height with black hair and green eyes. He has round glasses and, strangely a faint lightning scar on his forehead. He looks 17. He tries to give a small smile but I can see in his eyes he looks devastated. He doesn't seem to be concentrating and just keeps glancing at Ginny worriedly, it's as if he doesn't care about himself at the moment. He eventually composes himself and looks straight on. To be honest he is alarmingly skinny but maybe, because of this he is a fast runner. I turn my attention to Ginny.

Ginny has light red hair and bright brown eyes. She looks 16 and is about small in height, verging on being medium. She looks sad but it's not shown on her face. She's trying to hide her emotions with a stern expression so she doesn't appear weak. At least she's better at controlling herself than Harry. In a way I respect her for trying to hide her emotions. because that means she is mentally strong which is a good strength in the arena.

Like District 6 they both raise there arms in the air, hand in hand, but it's less energetic than Maddy and Rhydian's. They give each other weak smiles and then they go into the building behind them and I see Harry's arm around Ginny's shoulders, protectively and then I realise. Sometimes the Capitol can be so cruel.

I can't think about it for long because Caesar announces the next District. 'Now our tributes from District 8! Rory Williams and Hermione Granger!'

Rory Williams looks scared out of his wits. He looks about 16 with dirty blond hair and grey eyes. He's tall. Again, he's trying to hide his emotions though it's not actually working. I think that Rory could be brave if he trains hard enough but right now he looks as if he couldn't even pick up a sword.

I think that the running theme with tributes is that most of them are scared and are trying to act brave, trying to be something there not. I should of known that half of these tributes are going to be scared. I'm going to be seeing a lot of that with the rest of the tributes. Now onto Hermione.

Hermione has light curly brown hair and brown eyes. She is about 17 and is very pretty. A definite advantage; like I said before, Capitol citizens sponsor 'pretty' people. Looks don't seem to be the thing on her mind though. She seems to distracted with composing herself. She stands tall with her head held high. Another determined tribute which I guess is a good thing. There's something about her that tells me she is smart, very smart, which is another advantage. Having the brains in these games is a very good thing because without wits you won't last very long.

I think the both of them are an interesting pair but to be honest sponsors will probably look past them. Well maybe Hermione might get a few sponsors but I still think the chances of both getting sponsors is very slim.

'Now onto District 9! John Watson and Shannon Kelly!'

John Watson stands lopsided because he is relying on a walking stick to stand. He has dark eyes and sandy blond hair. I don't think he will be allowed his cane in the arena because it I think counts as weapon. Instead a of scared or brave expression on his face, he doesn't have any expression. He's just emotionless, staring ahead at something in the distance. He looks brave though. It seems like he refuses to show any emotion and it's like he doesn't want to show fear. Or maybe he genuinely isn't affected by this situation and doesn't feel the need to pretend. He seems resilient and I like that. The camera focuses on Shannon now.

Shannon Kelly has ginger hair in two plaits and wears rectangle glasses with green eyes and has few freckles. Instead of scared she looks more startled and doesn't look like she knows what's just happened. It's like she is in shock and I don't blame her. If I was reaped I probably would cease to function for a few hours, while trying to make sense of what had happened. Shannon, like Hermione, seems clever (when she's not in shock) and determined, and when she calms down a bit I think she will be good in training.

'Now folks we are going to have one last break before we reveal our last six tributes. See you after the break!' Caeser smiles and gives a wave and it cuts to adverts. Only a few more to go now...
