( Draft ) - Me talking

Edited

~ 3rd POV ~

The silence got broken by none other than Wade.

"Harry no!" He tried to run towards where Harry was standing, but he got held back by some of the Peacekeepers.

"Hey let me go! Don't listen to him! Take me instead! Please! I beg you!"

"Sorry dear, but he already volunteered so we can not do that." The flower lady said with pity on her face, probably because she thought that he wanted to go.

The Peacekeepers started dragging Wade away and tied something around his mouth so he can't talk although you could probably hear some muffled sounds coming from him, but that was it. Two other Peacekeepers walked up to where Harry was standing and started to gently push him towards the front.

"What's your name dear?" The flower lady asked gently to the young boy who was standing next to her. She looked at him in slight sadness, after all he looked so small and fragile compared to them.

"My name is Harrison Rankine, but call me Harry please."

"Of course Harry, was that your brother? He must be very sad that he didn't get to compete in this year's Hunger Games."

While Harry had a blank face, everyone could tell he was deadpanning at her mentally for even thinking that.

That's clearly what's not happening here! I just hope that the Capital people aren't as stupid. At times like this I wish that I could make potions so I could make one that helps with migraines. *sigh*

"Ah yes, he is my older brother."

"That's very nice, but we should hurry up, so shake hands you two!"

She stepped back so Alexis and Harry could shake hands. Alexis had a shocked look on her face at what happened but it was quickly replaced with a smirk.

She put her bigger hand in Harry's smaller one and squeezed, it was probably strong enough to break a normal person's hand, but then again when was Harry ever normal?

Never that's what.

He just did a closed eyed smile and squeezed her hand back causing some pain to go through her body and most likely leave bruises later.

What the-?! Who the hell is this kid?! No matter, I'm going to have fun crushing him. I just wish I could see his brother's face when I kill his 'oh so precious baby brother'.

As you can see, Alexis clearly does not like Wade, at all. For what reason you ask? You'll have to read to find out ;) Or I may never actually tell you, who knows! XD

"Happy Hunger Games to all! And may the odds ever be in your favor!" And just like that, Harry's first ever reaping ended.

~ In the visiting rooms (I'm just going to call them that) ~

Harry looked around the very fancy room and noticed how fancy and expensive they looked, but he got interrupted by the door slamming revealing Wade and his parents. Harry beamed at them like nothing was wrong. Wade walked straight up to him with a pissed off expression and grabbed his shoulders shaking him like he was a rag doll.

"I KNOW I CALL YOU AN IDIOT ALL THE TIME, BUT ARE YOU SERIOUS?! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU FUCKING VOLUNTEER YOU SUICIDAL IDIOT?!"

"Calm down, everything's fine, I'll win this!"

"It's not fine! I swear if you die I'll bring you back just so I could kill myself and then do it again!"

"Oh Harry, why would you do that?" Harry looked at his mother and felt his chest tighten at seeing her beautiful eyes that were normally cheerful and happy filled with tears.

"I...I actually don't know?" They all just looked at him like he was an alien. Not that they knew what an alien was I'll have you know.

"How the hell would you not know?!" Harry just shrugged but got cut off by his parents and Wade hugging him.

"Promise...promise me you'll win this? If you die I'll eat all your snacks..." Wade mumbled into his shoulder which was strangely wet.

"Alright, I promise I'll win, so don't eat them, got it? If you do, I'll ignore you for the rest of the year"

"Stay safe okay? When it's the first day, get the hell out of there. Grab anything that's in your path but don't fight over it if you see anyone trying to get the same thing. Find a water and food source, they usually die from starvation and dehydration. Don't try to fight anyone and try to stay away from all the fighting. Let them finish each other off, but if you do get caught in a fight, try to run away and if you can't, fight. Fight like your life depends on it because it does. Use any tactics, hair pulling, teeth, nails, I don't care if it's a so called 'dirty trick', none of that matters when your life is on the line. Do you understand?" Harry looked towards his father who had a very serious face which was very rare since he's usually really care free and replied.

"I understand."

"And remember we all love you, me, your mother, and your brother." Before Harry could say anything, the Peacekeepers came into the room and started pushing them out.

"Visiting times are up" The one in the front said. Harry watched as they struggled in the Peacekeepers grasp and felt powerless.

"We love you Har-" Before his mother could finish her sentence, the door slammed shut and silence ran through the room once more.

No one else came.

~ At the train station ~

Harry stepped out of the car only to blink in slight shock at all the flashing lights coming from the reporters before going back to normal.

Oh no, I thought I escaped them, but they're back. I pray to Merlin that I won't have any fangirls or fanboys this time!

Since Harry didn't take off his blank mask he didn't even seem bothered at the reporters. If they didn't know better, they would have thought he was already used to the reporters, but that can't be. This is obviously his first time being on camera, right?

Harry looked around and caught a glimpse of a television screen and saw that he looked like he didn't even know the reporters existed in the first place and that he was walking down an empty station. In fact he looked like he was bored out of his mind, which he is, but they don't need to know that.

They got to the front of the train and stepped in. Once everyone was in, the door slammed shut blocking off all the reporters and cameras from coming in.

"Alright dearies, get comfortable because we will be here for quite some time. In the meantime, please help yourself to the food provided" And just like that, she left the compartment.

Man, I should really ask her name. I can't just call her 'lady' the whole time.

Harry sat in one of the chairs that were provided and looked at the options. His green eyes landed on the tea pot and he immediately grabbed a cup and filled it with tea. He brought the rim of the cup to his slightly pink tinted lips and took a sniff. Smelling the leafy drink, Harry let out a content sigh and took a sip.

Ah~ I love tea, probably because I'm British, but meh. Ron and surprisingly Hermione didn't like tea, and they were British, at least I think they were.

Alexis also took a seat opposite of Harrys and looked at him when he let out the sigh and got taken back at the sight right in front of her. She then started to rub her eyes to see if she was hallucinating but realized it was real.

How the hell does someone drink tea so gracefully? And why in the world are there bubbles and sparkles floating around him?! I-...Is..is this normal?

While Alexis was questioning life, Harry just kept drinking the tea that was in the pot and soon after there was no more left.

The capital sure knows how to make good tea! The ones back at District 2 are kinda bland, it's probably because I'm used to drinking tea that Sirius made the others buy which are like 200 galleons a pack. Who would have thought tea was so expensive! But to be fair, they were really good...

"Hmm, are you the kids we have to mentor?" A feminine voice broke the silence that room was in. Harry and Alexis looked up and saw a lady and man standing by the door.

The female looked like she was in her mid or early 20s and was about 5'8 and had dark brown hair that was laid down and was wavy. Her sharp brown eyes were sweeping over us and analyzing us. She may be skinny looking but she definitely had muscles from what Harry could see. She was wearing tight black pants with a white button up shirt. She was also wearing black flats with a one inch heel.

The man behind her was older looking, around his mid 30s. He was bald and had brown eyes. He had a couple freckles dusting his nose and they were pretty hard to notice, but that was it. He was 6'0 and had a big build with broad shoulders. He was wearing more casual clothes than the lady, but it was still pretty formal. It was a black button up shirt - Seriously, what is it with button up shirts? - and black pants with some elevator shoes.

"Yes ma'am." Since Alexis didn't look like she was about to reply anytime soon, Harry replied to the ladies question.

"Hm, it seems we finally have a polite one for once. Aren't you happy Enobaria?"

The man's deep voice reminded Harry faintly of the low hum sound a car would make when it was starting, but deeper.

"Shut up Brutus, I'm Enobaria Lane ( I couldn't find her last name anywhere, so If you know it please tell me so I can fix it), but you can call me Enobaria. I am the victor of the 62nd Hunger games." Harrys and Alexis face lit up in recognition for different reasons. Alexis recognized her by her name and the number, but Harry recognized her by seeing her pointed teeth that were covered in gold when she started talking.

"And I'm Brutus Marlin ( I couldn't find his last name either, so if you know it please tell me) and I won the 40th Hunger Games (I couldn't find what year he won so I choose a random number and just like before, if you know it please tell me) You can also call me Brutus"

"My name is-"

"Yes, we already know who you are considering we were sitting in one of those chairs behind you, so no need to introduce yourself" Brutus interrupted Alexis making Harry mentally snicker at seeing her shocked face.

She isn't very observant now is she?

"Anyways, I'm pretty sure you already ate breakfast but if you're hungry, there is food on the table as you can see."

Enobaria and Brutus took a seat at the table they were sitting at and started to pile food on their plates.

Seeing that they don't look like they are going to talk anytime soon. Harry grabbed the other pot of tea and put a treacle tart on his plate and started to dig in the delicious treat.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" Enobaria asked.

Harry looked up and saw that Alexis was staring at them like she was expecting them to do something.

"Well, you're my mentors, so aren't you supposed to give us advice to me so I can, you know, not die?" Harry rolled his eyes when he noticed that she used 'I', 'my' and 'me' and not 'our', but decided not to do anything, it would be a waste of energy.

"Hm, well grab weapons, kill people and you'll be set." Harry and Alexis just stared at Enobaria in disbelief, but seeing her serious expression they both sweatdropped.

"Enobaria, that's not advice, that's stating facts. You've been a mentor for a couple of years now so shouldn't you know what to do by now?"

"What? I did that and I won!" Brutus just shook his head and turned back to us.

"I'll give you real advice unlike Enobaria ("Hey!"). You should know by now that you get three days to train. Use that time to hone your skills that you already have, but don't just limit yourself. Go to other stations too. Who knows what this year's arena might be. Learning how to tie a simple knot could determine whether you live or die. Oh and make allies, so you have someone guarding your back, but don't trust them. You shouldn't trust anyone in the Hunger Games, that will get you killed. Trust me. And at the interview, be nice and make a good impression on the capital. If they like you, you get sponsors and you could get valuable things like medicine, weapons, food, water, etc. Those sponsorships will boost your chances of surviving. So try not to be a brat."

Huh, Dad said the same thing basically, but he gave more advice for the arena and Brutus gave more advice at the time before the Hunger Games officially starts.

Once Brutus finished his mini lecture, he turned back to the food on his plate and started eating again like nothing ever happened. Harry also turned his head back to his half eaten treacle tart and took a big forkful and shoved it in his mouth.

Now this is the life. A comfy chair, a nice view, tea and treacle tarts are all I need.

"Hey kid" Harry looked up at Enobaria to see if she was talking to him and seeing her look at him, he quickly swallowed and replied.

"Yes?"

"Why did you volunteer?" At her question, Brutus and Alexis looked up too, both wondering why he did.

"Well, I actually don't know!" He finished his sentence with a big smile on his face causing them to stare at him like they were expecting him to say 'Just kidding!', but seeing he wasn't doing making any other moves to continue talking, Brutus opened his mouth and started talking.

"You actually don't know why? Kid, this isn't hide and seek. This is a battle where people die."

"I know and I didn't want my brother to die so here I am."

"Huh, you really must love your brother a lot." Instead of verbally replying, Harry just nodded and went back to his treacle tart. A few minutes later, the flower lady walked back into the room making us look up at her.

"I'll be showing you your chambers. So follow me." Alexis and Harry stood up and followed the lady out of the room, but Harry gave the mentors a 'goodbye' and 'see you later' before leaving, being on their good side will be better than being on their bad side.

"This one is for you Alexis dear, Harry follow me, I'll show you yours." A few minutes of walking later, they stopped at a door.

"This is yours Harry and be ready for dinner in an hour, I must be on my way now." Before she could leave Harry asked for her name.

"Oh I must have forgotten to introduce myself! My name is Keysha Melnik, but call me Keysha dear."

"Alright" The female escort - Keysha - walked down the hall and into another door to go do something and Harry opened the door to his chambers. It was a medium sized room, but it was very luxurious. There was a queen size bed in the middle and a dresser to the side which was filled with clothes. At the top of the drawer, there was a note that said 'Feel free to use any of the things provided'. At the wall beside the bed, there was another door and when Harry opened it, he found out it was a bathroom that had a shower and bathtub in one, a toilet, and a sink.

Deciding to take a shower first, Harry looked through the drawers and picked out a white t-shirt with black knee high shorts. Walking into the bathroom, Harry turned on the water to get it warmed up a bit. Putting one of the fluffy white towels on the toilet which was beside the shower/bathtub, Harry started to untie his braid. Once his hair was free, it went in waves because it was in a braid for quite some time. He stripped off his clothes and stepped into the shower and sighed contently.

This is nice~

Quickly finishing up the 15-20 minute shower, Harry turned off the water and grabbed the towel to dry himself off. He was soon fully dry with the help of a bit of magic making him tired.

Man, I can't believe the stupid author made me have to work to get my magic.

You may be wondering 'What are you talking about Harry? You're the Master of Death so shouldn't you be op?'. I'll tell you, the author didn't want to make Harry too powerful so she made it that anytime he would use magic, it would drain some of his stamina.

Right now he could only do wandless magic from year 1 to year 3. The more advanced the spell, the more tired he'll get. And even then he still has to whisper the spell. He could do it non verbally, but then he could only do year 1 to half of year 2. When Harry discovered this fact, he went on countless runs and exercises to get his stamina up so he doesn't faint any time he used his magic.

I remember that one time I used wingardium leviosa to pick up a glass of water and I fainted. How embarrassing...

Harry left his slightly damp hair down and decided to take a nap to replenish his stamina since he had around 40-30 minutes before he needs to go for dinner. Crawling under the sheets, Harry curled up into a ball and closed his eyes. Soon he fell into a blissful sleep.

~ Later ~

Harry woke up to some knocking coming from the door and Kaysha telling him it's time to dinner. Sitting up and slightly stretching, Harry jumped out of the bed and his bare feet touched the cool wood flooring making him slightly shiver. He grabbed a comb that was on the dresser and quickly started brushing his hair and decided to leave it down after some debating.

Deciding not to wear any shoes either, Harry opened the door and saw that Kaysha was waiting for him there.

"There you are Harry, I love your hair! It's so pretty!" Harry felt some heat rush up to his cheeks and quickly thanked her for the compliment.

"Alright, follow me"

Following her throw the halls that were fully furnished, they finally stopped at a compartment to show that the others were already there, including Enobaria and Brutus. They looked up when the door opened and stared for awhile. Harry sat down at one of the empty chairs and started to put a bit of each option on his plate, it would do no good to throw up from eating all the rich foods provided. Alexis on the other hand basically ate anything her hands came by, at least she used the utensils.

"It's such a shame your hair probably won't make it through the games." Harry looked at Kaysha and tilted his head as if to ask why.

"You're at a disadvantage since the other tributes can just grab your hair while you're running or dodging. Unless you keep it up so they can't get it, but it could come undone."

"Don't worry Kaysha, my mum taught me to do my hair in a certain way so it doesn't come undone when I'm training or sparring with others."

"Alright, if you say so dear." The rest of the time during dinner was silent unless it was them asking to pass something. Once everyone was done, they all followed Kaysha into another room which had couches and a tv in it.

"We're going to watch a recap of all the readings, so use this time to observe them." Enobaria went and turned on the Tv when she finished her sentence. As always, we start from District 1 to the last one, aka District 12.

I wonder what my reaping looked like to the others, hmmm. Well I'll find out soon enough.
