A/N sorry for the lack of updates, school,stress and annoying things have stopped me but I'm trying to update as often as possible so please stick with it. R&R x (also sorry for the formatting, typing on my iPad)

The two groups stepped off the train and headed to the carriages, Magnus and friends felt out of place without an uniform, the same with Gale and Prim. "It's a shame you aren't taking the boats, the view is beautiful." Hermione noted

"I'm not too fussed about the view I just want to get out of this rain!" Jace groaned not liking what it was doing to his hair.

The group walked to the carriages where they saw Luna, Ginny, Neville, Gale and Prim. "Hey guys." Izzy greeted with a smile.
"Oh hey." They returned all except Gale who was looking out for Katniss and Peeta.
Isabel introduced everyone.
"Hey you guys haven't seen a tall brunette with braided hair and a tallish blond boy have you?" Gale asked.
"No sorry." Hermione replied.
"Okay okay we can chit chat later, can we get going please I'm starving." Ron ushered everyone in the carriage, they surprisingly all fit into one. "I like this boys attitude, he has his priorities straight." Jace said about Ron. "I too am rather hungry. So what's the food like at Hogwarts?"

Ron sat up straight and smiled, "And this my friend is my area of expertise. It's beautiful, never mind the view on the boats, the food here is great." Ron seemed to be lost in the thoughts of the great feast now and Hermione had to continue for him.
"It's all cooked by house elfs in the kitchens, which is just cruel if you ask me, they deserve to be free and to do what they want, not working as a commons slave for our benefit, anyway when you walk into the hall the plates are empty but after Dumbledore talks and the first years and settled the feast appeares. It is rather breathtaking the first time you see it."
"So how long does this talked and the first years settling take?" Jace asked thinking about his hunger.
"Too long if you ask me, it's funny to listen to the names though and you pass the time with games of guess the house. I make bets with Seamus, he's in griffindore as well, last year he won the majority this year I shall." Ron said causing Hermione to roll her eyes.
"Dumbledore should explain what's going on, with the Hunger Games and that, he'll put our minds at ease." Harry said, mostly to himself although everyone else could hear.
Prim now took the opportunity to described the Capitol and Gale imputed describing to those who didn't know, what the Hunger Games was.
"That's disgusting! Why would you people watch that!' Hermione sat go smacked looking at Gale.
He scoffed. "We don't have a choice. Viewing is mandatory, watching your friend almost die or in most cases actually die is horrific. Watching their family mourn before they're killed because they know that there is no hope in hell that their son or their daughter is coming home." Gale had raised his voice. He looked at the others and realised his mistake, they didn't know what it was like, they didn't know what Snow was like.
"Sorry, it's tense, I don't know what's happening, we spent all our lives thinking we were alone, that the UK had been blown to bits in a war. Now suddenly, not only does it exist but we're going there. I just, I'm worried my friends." Gale out his head in his hands.
"We don't know what it's like Gale and we won't pretend to but we have our own battles too, we've seen things that at our age we shouldn't have to experience, not to your extend sure but I guess our lives aren't perfect either." Hermione placed her hands on Gale's back hope to be of some help.
"You've seen people die?" Prim asked.
"We're in a war." Neville said quietly.
There was a moment if silence.
"Voldermort, he's evil, he's killed so many. Years ago, he died trying to kill Harry, but he didn't really die. It's hard to explain but 2 years back he was, I guess you could say re born, and now he's back and killing again. We have to stop him." Ginny filled in part of the gaps.
"We're the same... Sort of." Clary looked at the others. "Valentine, he wants to create a new race of Shadowhunters with something called the Mortal cup. It difficult to explain like the rest if you but the clave and well us, we shadowhunters that are loyal to the clave have to stop him."
Hermione sighed, "I can't be the only one thinking it, this can't be a coincidence. Something's going on."
"What do you mean?" Alec asked.
"We'll come on, we're all fighting some sort of battle and now suddenly the three intertwine. Something's going on here it's obvious. I just hope Dumbledore can shed some light in it all but honestly I'm not holding him to it."
There was silence then, until the cariiage reached the school.
"I have to leave you now and head off to the hall by myself, i can't sit with you all I'm afraid. Try not to miss me too much." Magnus winked at Alec and walked off.
"He'll have to sit at the end table with the other professors." Luna explained.
"Head table? Oh he'll love that." Simon added and the grouped followed the crowd to the great hall. The conversation turned to Ron explaining what the professors were like and Hermione explains that Ron's opinion was not what the group should base theirs on.
Gale couldn't pay much attention, to anything really, he was too busy looking for Katniss. He found her when he entered the great hall. She was standing with Effie and Peeta at the front of the hall next to what he presumed would be the head table.
"Katniss!" He called and raced towards her ignoring the stares he received from other students.
"Gale, Prim!" She pushed last Effie and embraced Gale. Prim was following behind him. "I didn't know, I'm so sorry, I didn't know he would do this."
"Katniss do not cry you'll ruin your makeup." Effie was standing tall in her Capitol couture, she stood out like a sore thumb, not even Peeta and Katniss were dressed up, they were wearing matching robes looking much like Hogwarts students although rather then the Hogwarts crest they had the capitols and district 12 underneath.
"Where did you two go, we were looking all over?" Peeta had come over now.
"Peacekeepers, they took us on a train and then another and now we are here." Gale replied not looking at Peeta but instead holding Katniss in a hug.
"What about you two?" Prim asked.
"We were taken to the Capitol, interviewed by Caesar then rushed off. We arrived here about 10 minutes ago. Travelled by something called flew powder but I'm not sure." Katniss pulled away from Gale and crouched down I front of her sister.
"Prim I'm sorry, did you see mum? I didn't mean for this to happen, I thought you'd be safe I should have known better." She pushed Prims hair away from her face.
"They didn't let us say goodbye." Katniss pulled her sister into a hug.
"We'll be okay. We'll prove them wrong. Two won last year and four will win this year. Nobody has to die."
Galefurrowed his eyebrows, "They didn't tell you?"
"Show time." Effie called, a smile plastered on her face.
"Tell us what?" Katniss looked at Gale but Effie began pulling her away. "Gale?!"
"Come come we don't have the time." Effie sang, she pulled Katniss and Peeta away from the others. Katniss turned her head, "Tell us what? Gale!"
"More than one can win Katniss!" Was all he said before Katniss and Peeta were ushered to the left of the table, away from earshot.
