"Harry, I wonder what we'll do now that Voldilocks is gone." Ron said, inhaling his bagel.
"Oh Ron, don't be silly! We'll live normal lives!" Hermione replied.
"I guess..." Ron murmured.
"Well, I'm actually excited! What adventures might we have now?"I said.
"STUDENTS OF HOGWARTS!" Dumbledore called out. All heads turned his way. "Minerva," He gestured towards the stage.
Proffesor McGonagall walked up. "You may find this sudden, but our outstanding President Snow has decided to have an Annual competition! He says this is to 'Honor Harry Potter defeating Voldemort, and make sure it never again happens.' According to the President, this new event will be called, The Harry Games!"
Ron, Hermione and I looked at each other in shock.
"Harry, Its named after you!" Ron said, nudging me.
"I know, isn't it amazing?"
"Tomorrow, he will send somebody down to hold the 'Reaping'. One female and one male between the ages of 12 and 18 will be chosen from each house, along with a male and female from every other Wizard school. He says to us, may the odds be ever in your favor!"
The school cheered loudly.
"Harry, this doesn't sound so good." Hermione said to me.
"Why not?" I replied.
"Look how unspecific everything is. How she said our outstanding President, even though everybody hates Snow. This is to 'make sure it never happens again'. Harry, its not safe." She said.
"Oh stop being such a worry wart!" I complained. "Its a game!"
"Okayyyyy. I hope you're right." She said.
I rolled my eyes. Hermione was smart, but she was always so much of a worrywart.

Umbridge stood at the top of the steps. Today was the Gryffindor Reaping, whatever that was.
"Oh great." I said to Ron.
"Hey, I told you it would be bad!" Hermione added in.
"Okay, you are right. Nothing with Umbridge is ever good." I said reluctantly.
"She might've changed?" Ron suggested.
"Oh, puh-lease." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Shhhh! The ceremony is starting!" I chided.
"Hello, and may the odds be ever in your favor!" Umbridge said. "First, the Ladies!"
Hermione groaned. She was obviously nervous.
Umbridge reached and pulled a slip of paper from a small glass tank.
"HERMIONE GRANGER!" I looked at Ron, concern in both our eyes. "Oh come along, dear. Stand on the stage." Umbridge said.
Hermione bit her lip, but walked up.
"Hermione! Let's meet the boy, shall we?" Digging around in the tank, she eventually settled on one slip.
Please not me, please not me, please not me. I thought.
"HARRY POTTER!" oh great.
I trudged up to the stage. "At least you know what you're doing," I whispered to Hermione.
She snorted. "Barely."

A\N: Yes, that's right. Harry and Hermione will be the first Gryffindors in the Harry Games. Oh, and in case you are curious about the whole 'get Weasley.' thing from the Intro, Author Weasley is the head Gamemaker. Yup. [Insert Angry Fan mail Here] I know it gets annoying when there are like, 50 Authors Notes in every chapter, so, I will always Italicize the A\N. This way you can just read the book, and read selective authors note's. Anyways, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment. Oh, and, yes, I will make a sequel when I'm done. Should it be "Catching Harry", " Catching Percy", "Catching Water", " The Harry Games 2", or "Half-Warts". BTW, the sequel will be a Percy Jackson-The Harry Games mashup. So basically the same as this one, just Percy and Annabeth and Raena, and Nico DeAngelo and everybody else will be in it.
