Author's Note: Thank you so much to all my wonderfully awesomely cool and special reviewers!!!!!!!! This is probably the most reviews I've gotten for one chapter lol.
Sasha: Good idea...
t0xic8d: I like your idea, but since this show wouldn't air until after they finished filming, maybe I'll do a sequel with everyone's reactions.
Leggomyeggo: Thanks! Ginny kind of annoys me. I want to be like "Just hook up with Harry already, fool!" But I have other stories that are more in favor of her. On the show people sort of do fake alliances. They mostly just make a whole bunch of alliances and pick one to stick with, or they make an alliance with a big group of people and don't stick with it. A lot of the challenges are with puzzles in them, come to think of it, probably because there's the most versatility with puzzles lol. You won't need a list of tribes anymore... I'm glad you enjoy my story! Review frequently and check out my other stories :)
Satan Barbie: Draco and Lavender didn't get the same amount of votes, the last piece of parchment had Lavender's name on it and someone else's that doesn't matter. Sorry, I should have made that clearer.
Girl-Of-Legends: I love you, Shan ;) Read my story A Pool of Blood whatever... Ha, ha, I forget the name of my own story...
Hedwigmail: Finally, someone who agrees on me about D/H! I really should use some more detail, but all the chapters are so long :(
Disclaimer: I own: 1. Dan Greenbaum. 2. George Probst. 3. My mind. Wait, no I don't... I lost it the other day...

DeanThe realization swept over me like a tidal wave when I woke up the next morning. I was alone. So I had a few other random alliances, but nothing compared to the real, true one I had with Seamus. I mean, his was real and true because he's my best friend and I know I can absolutely trust him. But now, I felt totally and utterly and completely alone...
Time to plot with Ron!
"Ron," I said, pulling him into a bush. "Since Seamus' gone, I'm all by myself, so I want it to be me and you, pal."
Ron nodded. "Couldn't have said it better myself," he replied, shaking my hand.

Reward ChallengeNarrator
The Reward Challenge took place in the middle of the day. The first thing George said was "Drop your buffs."
Uh-oh.
"Ten of you are left," he announced. "That means it's time to merge the tribes. Everyone as one team, working for themselves and themselves only. You will get new, blue buffs." He gave each tribe member one. "And the winner of this challenge will get to choose a new name and a location for the new tribe." He proceeded to explain the challenge, which was to dive down underwater, untie a knot, which would make a buoy become unattached from a large rock and float to the top. The first five people to have their buoys floating at the surface of the water would compete again to see who could carry their rock underwater to shore the fastest. The two to reach shore first would win the challenge.
The contestants all swam out to the long, thin platform that they were to start from. George yelled for them to go and they all dove straight down, starting to untie their knots.
Parvati was working skillfully on her knot, ripping the twine out of its thick and puzzling coils at a remarkable and unexpected speed. But even she had to swim up for air. These knots were long and hard to get through.
Luna was another quick worker, who was surprisingly fast with the knots. Lately she had proven even slightly athletically coordinated in the recent challenges. She was almost tied with Parvati.
Neville was on the other side of her and wasn't moving at a rapid pace at all- this wasn't to anyone's surprise. He couldn't seem to figure out where to start with his knot, and would spend so much time thinking underwater that his little lungs began to throb and he'd have to shoot up to the surface for air.
Dean and Cho were right next to each other, which showed off Dean's unusual strategy. He had noticed that his and Cho's knots were very similar, so he copied every pull and push she made with the twine and used it on his own rope, going through the knot quickly. It wasn't cheating; nothing was cheating on Survivor.
Ginny and Harry were not particularly good at these knots. Ginny kept on facing Harry with these giant, puppy dog eyes trying to look pitiful and gain some desperate help from Harry which he obviously wouldn't give her. He was trying his hardest just to get his own goddamn knot done! To both of their surprise, when they glanced over at Hermione they saw her face twisted and contorted into an unhappy grimace at the sight of her knot and her slow progress at working through it. It seemed that she was so nervous about this that she spent most of her time shooting back up to the surface of the crystalline water to get some more air.
"Draco, Ron, and Parvati seem to be tied for first place," George announced from the surface. How he knew how things were going ten feet underwater while he stood on the platform, no one was quite sure.
Suddenly a buoy popped up. It was all the way on the end.
"Ron's got his buoy up," George announced to a few heads that had popped up as well- and of course he was announcing it to the camera as well. Suddenly another buoy emerged from the depths of the clear water. "Parvati's buoy is up." Hearing this, Draco flew back down like a rocket and his buoy was up in no time. "Only two more spots left for the final round of the challenge."
Just seconds later those two spots were fulfilled by Dean and Cho. Apparently Dean's strategy had worked a lot; Cho was great at knots. Unfortunately, Luna had stumbled somewhere in there and lost a lot of time with her difficult knot.
"Draco, Dean, Parvati, Ron, and Cho onto the second round," George informed everyone as the losers swam back to shore. They sat along the beach as they watched the five winners dive down again and retrieve their rocks, taking a very long time to reach the shore. The rocks were large and heavy and it was very hard to carry them to shore. Frequent drops were made, and just when Draco was in the lead he accidentally dropped the rock on his toe, which caused it to bleed profusely and then sting like a mother trucker in the now red saltwater. In the end, Ron and Parvati prevailed.
"Congratulations, Ron and Parvati!" George cried. "You two will now spend the rest of the afternoon and evening together deciding on the tribe's name and making the tribe's flag. Discuss anything else you feel necessary in this time that you two have alone together. Who knows when you'll get another chance like this without other prying tribe members around? The rest of you, head back to camp."

Ron
So Parvati and I won the challenge. I looked at this as a new experience; I barely knew Parvati and this was my chance to change that.
"So, how're the people from your tribe?" I questioned as we sat around a long table laden with assorted delicious foods, stuffing our faces to the brim.
Parvati shrugged before responding. "We fought a lot at the beginning," she explained. "But we got better after losing three member and I think that's what really brought us back and got us to do better."
I nodded. Maybe if we all got along we wouldn't even want to vote each other out, and then we could all have a protest against Dan Greenbaum and George and I'd steal the prize and run away with it. Maybe if Parvati were nice I'd even bring her with me. I sighed. Fantasies can just kill you sometimes.
"What about your tribe?" Parvati asked.
I shrugged as she had. "There are rumors about something going on between Hermione and Draco, but I refuse to believe it," I told her.
Her eyes opened wide and her mouth dropped. "Hermione and Draco? That wouldn't happen until pig's flew over a frozen hell," she responded incredulously.
"I agree."
"Maybe we should get to work on this tribe thing..."

Parvati
Ron and I finally decided on a name and painted a flag about an hour later. It's harder to do stuff like that than you think! We wanted to go with the awful and stupid theme of creatures from the wizard world as the tribe name. The name we chose was the House Elves. We laughed for ten minutes straight at the idea of the looks on everyone's faces with that name. We designed the blue flag to have an ugly, skinny House Elf with a giant head and bulbous eyeballs painted on the front of it.
We talked for a while more about the tribes and then the subject rolled back around to Hermione and Draco.
"I just really can't see Hermione doing something like that, you know?" Ron said thoughtfully, picking at his teeth with a toothpick.
I nodded, staring into his big, blue eyes. I couldn't help but notice how the lanky, disproportioned Ron Weasley had become such a, well, hot person suddenly. And before I knew it, I had leapt over the table and started making out with him like there was no tomorrow. It was insane but, I was in desperate need of some male mouth upon my womanly one and George sure had pointed out about 800 times the privacy of this evening, so I decided, "What the heck?" I mean really, what was there for me to lose?
0000000 0000000
Harry
Needless to say we were stunned and confused by Parvati and Ron's idea of naming our new tribe "The House Elves". What kind of name is that? The Dragons and Hippogriffs were bad enough, and I understand that they're joking and trying to make another crappy name like that one, but really, the House Elves?
Were they drunk? Seriously though, they were pretty giggly.
Once again, needless to say, Hermione just about blew her top off with a name like this.
"You know perfectly well that I am NOT a fan of House Elves, so to make a name like this for a tribe that I'm obviously a part of is a disgrace and a major act of disrespect toward me and every House Elf out there who might watch his "master" view this once it airs on TV!" Hermione spat at Ron and Parvati- not literally of course.
I watched her get dragged off by Dan Greenbaum and before joining Ginny in our shelter, which was the Dragon tribes' old one.

Two days later
Immunity Challenge
Narrator
The challenge this time was for individual immunity and all the contestants had to do was start a fire in a large can-shaped thing, which was on the end of a pole that was balancing on a large structure. On the other side of the pole, there was another can which was to be filled with water so that it would go down to the ground, which would in turn make the can containing fire go up and then in turn light a string on fire which would start a fire in the middle of the structure. The trick was, though, that the can that was to be filled with water had a hole in it.
The leads were practically reversed from the last challenge, this time. Parvati, Luna, Dean, Cho, and Ron were all doing pretty badly in the beginning, while Harry, Hermione, Draco, and surprisingly Ginny and Neville were off to a great start. But soon Dean followed Draco and Harry with a lit fire, and started to fill up his can. Harry and Draco's fires kept on going out every time they shot up in the air. Dean's strategy was to slowly fill up the can, but quickly enough so that the amount of water lost through the hole wouldn't matter so much.
"Hermione is catching up with Dean," George informed the camera crew- and Dean who was extremely surprised at this announcement. And it was a good thing he was because a few seconds later there was a big fire blazing in the middle of Dean's structure; he had won the first individual immunity.

House Elves campsite
Hermione
"Cho or Parvati," I was telling Draco when we got back to our campsite. "They're amazing at those water challenges and that's what we're going to be doing a lot of, I know it."
"I definitely agree," Draco said. "Those two are huge threats."
"I have an idea," I said, leaning closer to Draco and speaking more quietly. "I'm going to attempt an alliance with Harry and Ron and get them to vote the way we do for the rest of the game. Except at the end when we'll have to trick them so that we can win it all."
"Good idea," Draco responded. "More votes the way we want them, I like that."
I winked before trotting off to join Harry, Dean, and Ron in a huddle by the bushes.
"What are you three plotting about?" I asked them. Dean could be in this alliance too. "Voting Cho or Parvati off, I hope."
"Oh, er, yes. Of course that's what we were talking about, H-hermione!" Ron stuttered.
I knew he was lying but I played along.
"Cho and Parvati are our biggest threats," I informed them. "I'm thinking Parvati this week and Cho next week. Maybe even Luna, also. But she's not a mental threat, just a physical one, and if we can break her down mentally then maybe she'll start sucking a the physical ones." I wasn't making sense; I just wanted them on my side.
"Sure," Harry replied with a shrug.
Easy as pie.

Tribal Council
Narrator
"So, your first three days as one tribe," George said as they settled into the uncomfortable wooden benches of the Tribal Council area. "Cho, what's that like for you?"
"It's very different and takes a bit of getting used to," she responded truthfully. "But since I know these people and I've lived with some of them before, it's not really that weird."
"Hermione, you were pretty upset about the name the House Elves," George remembered. "Why was that?"
"Well, I don't like the way that House Elves are treated in wizarding communities," Hermione explained. "And most of the people here know that- Ron especially knows that, and I feel a lot of disrespect toward him and Parvati that they've named the tribe what they've named it, knowing fully well that I'm opposed to the enslavement of House Elves."
George nodded. "Time to vote," he informed them. "Draco, you're up first."
He walked down the narrow path and scribbled Parvati's name onto the parchment. "You're too much of a threat," he said bluntly. "And I need to win this game."
He was confident that Parvati or Cho was out tonight, but how were the other four people that they didn't speak to voting? And could some of the others flip their votes suddenly?
When they were finished George "tallied the votes" and brought them back. After saying his usual speech, he began reading the votes out. The first six votes were for Parvati, and the others didn't even need to be read out. Most of the other contestants viewed her as a threat as well, so she was seventh member out of Survivor: Wizards.
Nine remain. Who will be the ultimate wizard survivor?

A/N: I tried to make it more detailed, so it's a bit longer. I wish I could learn how to spread my details out evenly and not have a super long Reward Challenge and a miniature Immunity one. Review, please!
