The Reaping: Harry Potter
For the 100th anniversary of the Hunger Games, they decided to change things a little. Still keeping the same rules, but with different people...'Happy Half-Hunger Games, and may the odds never be in your favour' said Rita Skeeter, kindly, a little to kindly.
As story characters can't travel between story worlds unless they have permission from the Storibrooke Council, Rita Seeter, from Harry Potter, had to do the reaping.
'Lets start. There are 12 bowls. Your name will be in each bowl. If your name is called out twice, then we will try again. If you volunteer and your name is called out another time, the person you volunteered for will come back up. Lets start, shall we?' said Rita.
Ginny Weasley was sitting there, as quiet as a mouse, silently praying that her name would not be called out. Rita walked up to the first bowl, put in her hand, and pushed her hand right to the bottom. When her hand returned, she had a piece of paper between her fingers. Rita stood back and announced the first tribute in an indoor shout.
'Harry Potter! Well, makes sense...'
Harry slowly stood up and walked to the front of the Great Hall (that was were the Reaping was taking place). Although he didn't show it, Harry was terrified. While The-Boy-Who-Lived took his place next to the first bowl, Rita stepped towards the 2nd bowl. For the second time, she put in her hand and pulled out a slip of paper.
'Ginny Weasley!' Rita announced.
Now Ginny's heart was beating so fast, she could hardly breathe. She didn't want to do it. She kept saying to herself, 'Please let someone volunteer, please, please, please!'
The room instantly feel silent. Ginny was unsure who shouted. When the voice spoke for the second time, Ginny recognised it.
'Ginny, don't move! I volunteer as tribute!' the voice exclaimed.
Rita quickly added it, 'But- Please, show who you are, before you volunteer.'
A boy with ginger hair slowly raised from his seat - It was Percy Weasley.
Once Percy took his place at the front of the hall, Rita moved over to the third bowl.
'Percy Weasley! Oh dear... Umm... Ginny, please come up!'
Ginny made a load 'Ugh...' as she walked up the third bowl. Percy mouthed to her, 'Sorry.' Ginny replied, 'Its ok,' in a whisper. Rita was beginning to get annoyed.
'Please can we just do this quickly now?' she said.
Over the next 30 minutes, Rita had called out 8 more names. These were:
Ron Weasley
Hermione Granger
Fred Weasley
George Weasley
Professor Dumbledore (apparently, age didn't matter in this version of The Hunger Games)
Professor Snape
Draco Malfoy
Dobby (apparently, species didn't matter in this version of The Hunger Games)
Rita carefully approached the last bowl, hoping she didn't pull out her own name. Slowly, she put her hand in the bowl, but this time, she pulled one of the top. When she saw who's name was on the piece of paper, she fainted. This slip said 'Tom Riddle'.

If need be, her mother's surname is Grace. Whether Thalia likes it or not, it's her surname too, but she prefers not to be identified by it.
