Notes:
Hi guys!!! Enjoy!

DM me if you're willing to draw the cover!!!
When everyone was asleep, a masked hooded figure with a very pale face entered the Castle grounds. He was the moderator of the Challenges of the Games said earlier. He secretly entered the Gryffindor and Slytherin Dormitories of the 6th and Seventh years. He took a vial and dropped it to the ground, breaking it and making its scent spread over the Room. The students who were sleeping fell into an even deeper sleep, Snuggling in their dreams. The figure smirked as he apparated all the students in bed to some bunk beds in an unknown place.
The students didn't suspect a thing, Still slumbering heavily. The mysterious intruder then transformed all their school uniforms into green Sweatsuits, Green symbolising his Slytherin Cunning and Ambition, with a number on each of them.
Then he thought of a better idea. Why not Force these Students' families to play too? The ones who have left Hogwarts. He forgot all about them. He knew that among them, His most loyal servants were there. But Does he care about them? No, he doesn't. He'll gain more followers anyway. So he went into each of their residencies and did the same process as he did to the Students, eventually bringing them to the same beds letting them continue their slumber. The room is now filled with people from different people from all three Bloodlines, Whether it's Muggleborn, HalfBlood or Pureblood. He changed all the guests' clothes into green Sweatsuits too. They're all gonna face their end that week except one. The Moderator kept on his mask as he smirked about his evil plan and how they wouldn't know about it. He called some of his followers, who were also heavily hooded and Some dementors to guard the doors in case someone would get out. He then heavily warded the Place to really ensure the trap. He also made the grounds Magic proof and took all of their Wands.
"How exciting it would be to watch each one of them get killed by these upcoming challenges." The moderator started speaking to his followers.
"Oh Yes My Lord, What fun! It is our chance to cleanse the world from Muggleborns this time!" Replied Selwyn, a Follower of the Dark Lord.
"My lord, You should at least Release Bellatrix, Avery and Lucius My Lord!!! They were Loyal to you and our cause to the Core! Especially Bellatrix! Losing her would disadvantage us badly." Said Rowle, another death eater.
"Silence! I do not care about any of them! The Dark Lord will find a substitute for Bellatrix Sooner or Later! True, She was loyal to our cause and me. But She must face this. She must prove my loyalty to me by winning these Challenges above all others. It's one way or another! The Dark Lord will Live forever!" Saying that the Dark lord left, Leaving his followers to continue their duties alone.
"Long Live the Dark Lord!!!" The death eaters present Chanted as their Lord left, going back to their respective work.
The Next day, When the People inside woke up, They were shocked to find themselves in a large room with so many beds, and not their homes or School. Most of the students present were happy that their families were here too. Pandora ran to her older brother Rodolphus as they embraced. Narcissa was so happy that Andromeda was there, She forgot her place and ran straight towards Andromeda, hugging her tightly. The only person who wasn't pleased about their family's arrival was Sirius. James, Seeing his Platonic-brother's distress comforted him but his eyes were on Lily, who was with Severus.
"Okay, I know we accepted this challenge for our house, But why should THEY be here?" Sirius asked Sneering and pointing his hand at Bellatrix.
"Guess they came for the same reason we came here." Replied Remus, A hint of concern for Sirius in his eyes. Meanwhile, Hydra reached Sirius and Kissed his cheek gracefully. Sirius was surprised but returned his affection to his younger sister by hugging her.
"Oh Siri!!! How I missed you!!!" Said Hydra as she looked up from the embrace, Smiling.
"I missed you too Hyde!!!. You and Reggie both. I didn't expect you to be here. Is Mother also here? I think you shouldn't be here." Said Sirius, Grinning at his youngest Sibling, affection present in his eyes.
"We didn't expect you to be here either. But we did have a guess. And no, I wouldn't hug you in public if Mother was here you idiot!" Hydra was laughing as she teased her older brother. As they were sharing a happy moment, Bellatrix suddenly walked towards them.
"Oh! look who decided to show up and disgrace our family further." Bellatrix sneered as she eyed Sirius, but her expression softened as she saw her youngest cousin Hydra.
"It's no matter for you about what I came to do here Bella!" Replied Sirius, Hatred for his oldest cousin evident.
"Oh! you're right! aren't you, Cousin? hmm...? Or I should now address you as Mr. No-One I suppose, Since you got yourself Kicked out? " Bellatrix said as she laughed at her own joke before leaving to join her sisters, Her Usual stern demeanour softening slightly when she saw her Youngest sister Narcissa embracing her disowned Sister Andromeda. Even though she avoids her sister Andromeda and shows her a lack of affection towards her, She still cares for her sister. They were once a completely happy family after all.
Remus has just been woken up by the Havoc the residents of the room been made. He Felt Surprised at how he woke up here and not at Hogwarts. He gained all of the attention of the room and spoke.
"Can I have all of your attention, please? Does any of you remember how we arrived here?"
"As I can remember last, I was at Hogwarts sleeping." Replied Evan, In a tight embrace with his friend, Barty Crouch Jr.
"Same here! We were in our Dormitory and we woke up here!." that was Marlene.
"Seriously, Doesn't any of you remember how you guys got here? How about who arrived here out of Hogwarts?" The question was directed by Lily this time.
"Honestly no, What I remembered last was that I was tucking Nymphadora to go to sleep," Andromeda replied, a worried look and a Concern etched on her face.
"Wait, You have a Child Andy?" Asked Bellatrix, her expression a proud one as she locked her eyes with her younger sister.
Andromeda smiled as she replied "Yes Bella, She's four now actually."
"Wait, You're telling me no one remembers How we got here? Can anyone check if we can still do magic? At least can we escape?" That was Mary, Pacing back and forth, definitely panicked. Bellatrix nodded as she Looked for her wand, which wasn't in her pocket where it always lay.
"I- I don't have my wand!!!! Are your wands missing too?" Bellatrix stammered in shock as she struggled to maintain her composure.
"We don't have our wands either." Replied Rabastan as he too searched for his wand in his pockets.
Just then, Some masked and hooded figures arrived, closing the wards once again as they entered. Everyone looked at Bellatrix and Rodolphus when they realised who the new guests were. Bellatrix's face paled as she recognised her allies, Stealing a shocked glance with Rodolphus, her Husband. Suddenly, one of the Hooded people spoke to the crowd.
"Dear guests, You are brought here to face some deadly challenges, very easy but there will be consequences if you lose. There will be seven rounds and fail to compete, you'll be eliminated. Any questions?"
Bellatrix narrowed her eyes as she tried to remember who was standing in front of her. "Mulciber? Dolohov? What is going on? Where are we?"
"You are at some forbidden grounds on the Azkaban island. The dark lord commands each one of you present to compete, you have been chosen."
Suddenly a very sickly sweet voice erupted from the crowd. It was Dolores Umbridge "hmm-hmm... Does the ministry know about this? Is the Minister informed?"
Another voice, equally sweet but determined spoke out. This time it was Rita Skeeter " Ooh!!! This could be a great headline for the next Prophet! Fifty people kidnapped to compete in a series of deadly games, Survivor Skeeter Explains!"
"Silence! We'll leave you to get some rest now, You'll need it for tomorrow. Enjoy your last days alive because only one of fifty of you will survive! This also includes you too Bella, Rod and Lucy! In the left side of your Jerseys, there is a number, remember it. It might be useful for future challenges" Mulciber laughed as he left the people to accept their fates. They looked at their shirts, they saw the number on it and also saw that the number was displayed on a chart nearby.

"Only one will survive? Oh, I'm Scared Andy, Bella." Narcissa cried as she hugged her sisters. Andromeda and Bellatrix watched helplessly, as they also accepted their fate. Others, Even Rodolphus were really surprised as they hadn't seen Bellatrix being this vulnerable, Giving her an almost human look.
Meanwhile, on a bed, Remus was comforting Sirius, Who was laying his head on Remus's Lap." I'm Scared Remu, What if we don't survive?"
Remus felt his heart tinge desperately as he heard his Sirius's Pained words." We will, Siri. We'll find a way out somehow."
When this all was Happening, James went to Regulus to confess. "Hey, Reg. Well, I know we won't live longer than a week here, But I wanna say, I've had a crush on you since I was in my fifth year. I know Sirius or even you would be mad at me, but I Love you. I love you more than this world." Regulus blushed as he replied "I-I love you too" and leaned in for a kiss, which might be their first and the last one. The path ahead of them was really uncertain.
Barty and Evan were on the floor sarcastically crying. "But We're too young and handsome to die!!!." That was Barty.
Hydra and Pandora were hugging each other tightly as if not wanting to let go.
Lily was huddled with her friends Marlene, Dorcas, Mary and Alice discussing what the first challenge might be. Severus was Planning a way to escape, even though it was impossible.
At last, Most of them went to bed, as there wasn't anything interesting happening.But the Black sisters and Hydra lay awake, Thinking about their fate that laid in front of them.
