3 possible turn outs I just thought of
1.The prophecy would keep harry alive
2.Harry gets possessed by Lord Voldemort and kills everyone then gets pushed away by harrys grief
3.The slytherins could quickly kill luna/Hermione or ron and disguise themselves using polyjuice then once slytherin has won they reveal themselves, if Gryffindor wins "Hermione" or "Ron" would finish them off or they could just be "Luna" and pretend to chase snorlacks until the end then backstab the winners

Harry knows reducto,diffino,relisho,the bubble head charm,depulso,An over powered expelliarmus,the 3 unforgivables

 

The fuck they gonna get Polyjuice from?

 

Could have a vial of it in the cornucopia equivalent, or something.

 

they said 2 weeks to prepare, have snape get it for them from his stores or get the Malfoys to mail it to them then accio it once the "games" start, basically what harry did in GoF, first task

 

Colin Creevey would win. No arguments.

Though if we have to stick to the actual tributes, I reckon the centaurs would just kill all of them.

 

A more serious answer than some of the others, I'd probably give Malfoy decent chances in this. Or one of the other Slytherins, it's a bit hard to evaluate them when we don't really know much about them. Maybe Zabini, for reasons I'll go into.

Why the Slytherins? Well, this isn't the Hunger Games universe - these kids haven't grown up in shitty conditions under an omnipresent dictatorship whilst being brainwashed to kill each other in the games. Seriously, good luck getting Harry or any of the other students to kill each other. In this game I'd say whoever is the least resistant to the idea of murdering their peers is going to win.

Now I'm not trying to say that all those cliches about Slytherins being little sociopaths in training are correct, but I would have to say they're probably a little more likely to put themselves above everyone else and go for lethal force (especially those with Death Eater parents), that's kind of in character. Malfoy seems to be reasonably skilled, the only reason to doubt him is that HBP showed he didn't really have much killer instinct, but if push came to shove I imagine he'd be more willing to kill Harry and co. than Harry would be to kill Malfoy.

Zabini might work as well - his mother has apparently killed a bunch of her husbands, so he's grown up around murder and might be more desensitised to it. It's hard to say because we know almost nothing about him.

But yeah, the other option is that none of them are willing to kill each other (and Umbridge has no plan in place to force them) and it's all about who can best survive all the shit in the forest, in that case my money is definitely on Harry.

 

In a true Hunger Games fashion the Slytherins would first kill a couple of Hufflepuffs (Smith and Macmillan) and maybe McClaggen (who thinks he is the best and refuses to ally with anyone). All the other students are appalled that their classmates can do such a thing, and gather around Harry, Hermione and Ron into one large team. Together they stun and tie the Slytherins up somewhere in the forest (maybe leaving them to the centaurs), and then go kick Umbridge's ass. As the students emerge from the forest the professors join their rebellion, and any Ministry support Umbridge might have either surrenders or flees.

The general populace is furious that Umbridge was allowed to come up with such a stupid idea in the first place, and she and Fudge are lynched by an angry mob led by the parents Smith, Macmillan and McClaggen.

 

Aragog wins a scrumptious brunch.

 

I agree with the sentiment that many of them won't be able to kill each other. To fix that issue I would have it split into smaller segments, such as having one person from each house sent to a section of the forbidden forest where they can't leave that section or they die. Once a winner is declared they will be lower the area restriction and allow them to face the winners of the other sections. With the added rule of if there isn't a winner then everyone in their section dies. I think that would motivate the majority to kill.

 

This just makes me wish there was HP fan fiction where the houses were raised to be lethal sociopaths trained to kill each other.

On the other hand, Katnis does not want to kill but the power of Story makes it inevitable that she wins both times in the face of more vicious enemies so maybe Harry (aka will not kill even though it would solve stuff) or even Hermione winning would be possible. Like if they could find a secret portal to the Room of Requirement through some tree in the forest or cave.

Harry also just seems like he'd go for sacrifical lamb. While I adore the idea of Luna standing over a bunch of corpses, esp. Ravenclaw bullies, while being all etheral I feel she would draw ire just for being herself and be targeted early one while she was echanted by a unicorn.

NPCs can never win over PCs

 

Gryffindor wins.
"Because he is a Boy-Who-Lived, not died."

 

There are several factors to consider, but I think Harry'd come out on top, overall. If you take his overall character development, I'm sure being isolated in the forest with others out for his blood may just push him down the darker path he was flirting with in OOTP. He did try using the Cruciatus on Bellatrix, after all.

Also, does he have his invisibility cloak? I'd say both him and Luna have the advantage of knowing their terrain slightly better than the others.

If he did go off the deep end, though...he's the only one who knows the way to Aragog's Lair. *cue evil, evil laughter*

EDIT: It's going to end with a Lord of the Flies ending. Dumbledore comes running in when all for houses are about to get involved in a gigantic free for all. His dialogue?

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS?!"

 

I honestly cannot see any of the Gryffindor's winning this. Cormac is basically a redshirt and neither Ron, Hermione, or Harry would be willing to kill each other or any of the others really.

The hufflepuffs are in the same boat, they would not kill anyone.

Ravenclaws are a bit trickier. I could see Cho actually being fairly ruthless due to Cedric's death the previous year, but she doesn't have the skill in my mind to survive the forrest. I don't know enough about Marcus or Padma. Luna...she's the wild card of the whole match.

Slytherins...Zabini or Draco could win. They would be ruthless enough to do what is necessary.

 

Canon shows that Draco at least isn't.

 

I think that there is a fairly large difference in the situations between this and the order to kill Dumbledore.

IN this instance, it is ministry-sanctioned. Draco is still unaware of how truly miserable his life would be under Voldemort. He has nothing to lose this situation really as opposed to choosing a side in the war. There would be less emotional duress.

 

Whoever is the biggest wanker with the least scruples would win. Zach Smith seems the type to AK anyone in sight before they get a word out.

 

Big D needs to take this on as a chapter for the What Would Slytherin Harry Do series (even though it's not a canon setting).

As for my answer, I would pick Luna. She's innocent enough that no one would see her as much of a threat until the end. And she's crazy enough to think she's doing it to please some imaginary creature when she goes on her killing spree. The ultimate sacrifice to the wrackspurts.

 

I would have to say Harry just isnt up to killing anyone. His morality wouldnt let him do it. His "Hero Saving Complex" wouldnt allow it. I could see Luna or possibly Pansy winning. Ron or Hermione? More than likely not.

 

Let's be honest; these are kids, and none of them have ever killed in their lives.
Because of this, they wouldn't be mentally prepared for the sudden -for lack of a better word- 'rush' that you would undoubtedly feel if you caused a living, breathing person with infinite possibilities to just die. Even if they were forced to kill each other, the victor would be physiologically/mentally damaged, and would be better of dead.
And no, I am not a murderer

 

why are we necroing this thread?
