Chapter Five Hippogriff Tribe- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
HarryWe reached where the map was leading us fairly quickly. I had spent the duration of the trip talking- no, flirting with Ginny. I guess that since she (obviously) had a crush on me, I might as well just take advantage of that. I could try and form an alliance with her of some sort.
When we arrived, we found a letter instructing us to build some sort of a shelter and start to try and make fire.
Fire? Like we could actually succeed in making a fire without wands? Did half of the people on my tribe even know what a fire was? Well, we'd have to find out.
"Okay, so we're supposed to build a shelter and make a fire," I announced.
"Oh! I can make fires!" Colin cried excitedly. "I used to go to a Muggle camp before I learned that I was a wizard, and they taught us how to make fires!
"So you'll be in charge of starting the fire, Colin," I instructed. "I'll go gather supplies with everyone else, unless someone else knows how to make a fire.
"I don't know how to but Colin can explain it to me and I can help him out," Luna said hopefully.
"I have an idea," I announced, subconsciously taking the role of the leader. "How about Luna, Pansy, and Neville collect wood for the fire- like small sticks and dry leaves- and everyone else look for things to help build a house.
Everyone agreed and went off their separate ways to do the appointed tasks. I followed Ernie into the forest next to where we were to build our shelter.
"Ernie," I said quietly, grabbing his shoulder.
"What?" he answered loudly.
"I thought we should start thinking about, you know, alliances and things," I said, slightly nervous. "And I thought we could make an alliance with each other.
"What do you mean?" Ernie said, interested.
"Like, we won't vote each other off," I explained.
"I don't know... We're only like five seconds into this game," Ernie said dubiously.
"So? Don't you want to be ahead of everyone else?" I asked.
"I... Uh... I have to bring these things to the... place," he said nervously, not looking me in the eye and quickly walking away, carrying one small stick in his left hand.
Great, the first person I wanted to make an alliance with and they don't even want to be in it with me! I can see that this is going to go nowhere...

LunaThe real reason why I wanted to stay and help out Colin was because I wanted to make a deal with him: I wouldn't vote for him if he wouldn't vote for me. But stupid Harry had to barge in and say that other people would have to help him besides me! He practically ruined my plan! But when Neville and Pansy were off in the forest looking for things, I took the opportunity to talk to Colin in private, keeping out a watchful eye the whole time.
"Colin," I whispered, crouching down next to him and craning my neck to make sure there were no stray eyes glancing at us.
"Yeah?" he asked, making a little triangle-type thing out of the sticks and leaves that had been gathered so far.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to make a deal with me," I said hopefully.
"What kind of deal?" he asked, continuing his building.
"Something like, if I don't vote you out, you don't vote me out?" I explained. "And we can consult each other before we vote other people out. Kind of like we're in this game together, working together." I was trying to explain this in the most appealing way possible and I think it was working. Colin had stopped building and had squinted his eyes as though thinking very hard about his decision. He leaned back before finally giving me his answer.
"Okay," he replied, handing out his hand for me to shake.
I took it excitedly and shook it firmly.

PansyThis game sucks so much. I think angrily as I pick up stupid things for the fire. The first thing I have to do is go and collect sticks and shit from the forest. By the time I'm done, I've broken three nails and I have dirt caked underneath every other one! I mean really, how am I supposed to do all this crap for a whole month? I won't have any fingernails by the end of this stupid game!
"Pssst! Pansy!" someone hissed at me from somewhere to my left.
I spun around. It was Ernie, peeking out of the bushes. He looked around before getting up and approaching me slowly.
"Listen, Harry just asked me if I wanted to be in an alliance with him," he said quietly, still glancing around for other people who might be listening in on our conversation.
"An alliance? Like, what's that?" I asked, confused.
"It's like an agreement," he explained. "I won't vote you off if you don't vote me off." He was saying this all with an excited smile on his face. "You in?" he asked.
Hmmm... This could be good. I could stay on this rotten show for a while. Even if I come out fingernail-less, I might have 1000 galleons to buy some fake ones with. Ha, ha, ha... I like that...
"I'm in," I said quickly, holding my hand out for him to shake.
"Great," he replied with a huge grin, taking my hand. "So I guess we won't vote each other off, then." He released my hand and never stops smiling.
"I guess not," I replied in a slightly more seductive way than I intend. Well, if I'm stuck here forever, I may as well flirt a little while I'm here!

Ginny
I was jumping up madly to try and grab a branch off one of the huge palm trees in the forest on the island when Harry approached me. I finally grabbed it and fell down right hard on my ass when he said anything to me.
"Ginny," I heard him say through the tumble of trees and ass hitting the ground.
Like, how embarrassing.
Suddenly I saw a hand in front of my face. He was helping me up! I took it gleefully and felt his large muscles pull me up off the ground. Oh how dreamy!
"Did you want to ask me something, Harry?" I asked in a husky voice, trying to sound sexy. I rubbed myself a little bit, just for added affect.
"Yes, do you want to make an alliance with me?" he asked in a way that made me think he was trying to ignore my sexiness.
How unkind.
"What does that mean?" I asked, forgetting for a second to sound like a sexy woman.
"It would mean that we have an agreement not to vote each other off and we'll consult each other before deciding on whom to vote off," he explained, slightly impatiently.
"Sounds good to me," I said, remembering to be husky again. "How about a kiss to seal the deal?" I asked, leaning forward and puckering up my lips.
"Let's save that for later," Harry said paternally.
Well at least he didn't flat out refuse.

ParvatiI was dragging along three huge sticks I had found when I saw Pansy, Luna, and Ginny about halfway down the beach all huddled up. Well of course my first instinct would be to find out what the heck they were doing over there, when Ginny saw me and made these big waving motions to try and get my attention and to get me over there.
It turned out that they were making an alliance (an agreement that they wouldn't vote each other off and that they'd consult each other before deciding on who to vote off) and they asked me to be a part of it.
"This is all the girls in the tribe, and if we stick together, the game might just be able to go our way," Ginny said suggestively.
"Sounds good to me," I replied. It's not like anyone else would want to make an alliance with me, so I might as well just take this opportunity while it's here.
We all shook on it and that was that.

PansyThis was all part of my master plan. Get these stupid bitches to think I was on their side when really it was just me and Ernie the whole way through. Yep, that's the way it would be and there was nothing anyone could change about that. Faking it is just the way this game works.

DracoSNAP!
The branch of the tree I was climbing snapped and sent me tumbling to the ground. I had been trying desperately to get branches of big palm leaves off this tree for some time and I hadn't really succeeded. Oh well, at least now there'll be a big group of branches on the ground for me to collect.
I pulled myself up and rubbed tenderly at my throbbing butt. Why did the most sexy part of my body always have to be the one that got the most damaged?
Suddenly I heard something through the bushes. It was two people talking in hushed voices. I tiptoed over to where I heard them speaking and peered through the branches of a leafy bush. It was Dean and Seamus.
"Listen, I think it would be really smart if we made an alliance," Dean was telling Seamus in a whisper, glancing around and leaning closely to his face so that he could speak more quietly.
"Good idea, man," Seamus agreed. "We won't vote each other off. We'd be a good team." Seamus held out his hand for Dean to shake.
"I thought it would kind of happen anyway," Dean replied, taken Seamus's hand. "I mean, we're best friends. It makes sense." He shrugged.
"Definitely," Seamus responded.
So Dean and Seamus are in on this together, eh? I thought to myself, edging away from the bush and pretending I was just innocently picking up branches. Well, I think it's about time I make some alliances, myself. But with whom? Then it hit me: I could make alliances with EVERYONE. I could be that guy who pretends to be on everyone's side but really, I could just be in on it with one person. Hmmm... Who would my only person be? And who would the first fool to fall in my trap be? This is going to be fun... I thought slyly, rubbing my hands together in anticipation and excitement.
It sure would be.

ChoThis game was going to be AWESOME. I was so psyched for it! I was so ready to go off and make alliances and deals with people about who to vote of and when and all sorts of crazy stuff like that. I was so excited, I thought I might explode at any second! So when I saw Hermione, Lavender, and Padma collecting logs to build our shelter with, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I quickly looked around to make sure there were no wandering eyes or ears in the vicinity before rushing up to them and alerting them of my presence with the crunching of leaves and twigs beneath my feet.
"Hi, Cho," Padma said when she saw me.
"What's up? You look anxious," Lavender observed.
"I wanted to ask you guys something," I told them. My voice was slightly hushed but it wasn't too quiet.
"What is it?" Hermione asked, an air of suspicion in her voice. She put down some a large log she had been gripping.
"I was wondering if you all wanted to make an alliance with me. I mean, with each other. If we all agreed not to vote each other off and that we would consult each other before deciding on who to vote off, we could make it really far in this game! One of us could even win," I said the last sentence in a serious voice, trying to make this deal sound too good to pass up.
The other girls' faces lit up, except for Hermione's. She looked off in the distance as though thinking very hard about whether or not to accept this offer.

HermioneFrom the second we set foot on this island I was thinking about what to do in terms of alliances and deals with other people. Cho? Padma? Lavender? Hey, I guess they were pretty good for fake alliances.
Wait a minute, that's a good idea. Have all fake alliances except for one real one. I like that. But who would be real? One of these girls? Cho might be a reliable person. Hmmm... This would take a lot of careful thinking. For now, though, I'd just have to go with it.
"Good idea, Cho," I said, shaking her hand. "Nice thinking. I'm sure we'll all be in the game for a while now that we have this agreement." I tried to sound as sincere as possible, but it was slightly hard for me to do.
Then, right as we were standing there, I realized who it was I wanted to make my real alliance with. Whether or not they would believe me or want to go along with it, I couldn't say. But would I try? Most definitely yes.

RonI was shaking on my deal with Dean and Seamus when I heard someone yell to everyone that we had mail.
"Mail! I just found this letter in that box we found that other note in!" they were screaming. We came out of the forest to see Cho holding a piece of parchment. Draco and all the other girls were leaning over Cho's shoulders to see what was written on it.
"Tie up your shoes and get ready to run.
In this first challenge you are sure to have fun.
To win this game, you must put up a fight.
And if you do, you won't see tribal council tonight," she read before looking up and staring around at us all.
"I guess this is our first challenge then," Draco said excitedly. "We're going to win it! Everyone get ready! We don't have to finish building this stupid shelter right now, it's time to compete! And we are going to WIN!" he bellowed, jumping up and down.
"Down, doggie," I said sarcastically.
