|• 3rd Person's POV •|

As all 187 players entered a room at seems to look like a Playground, the players looked confused as they looked around the room.

As they looked in front of them they saw 4 shapes, A Triangle,Circle,Star and an Umbrella.

"What do you think the game will be?" Player 031,Harry Potter asked The redhead and the bushy hair girl.

"I don't know mate but this is freaky" Player 003,Ron Weasley Respond.

As the pa said that every players should pick a shape Harry went for the Triangle, Ron at the Circle and Hermione at the Star.

As a few moments the pa told the players to open the containers they have, as they opened them, they saw was a candy with a lined shape that they choose, as the pa announced the game they have to carve out the shape that is lined out.

As the 3 looked at each other, Harry had the easiest shape, he was lucky I just can't tell the same about the redhead and the bushy hair girl.

Little did they know that someone was watching them, most specifically the bushy hair girl.

As the game began.

everyone was starting to carve out their shape, 19:29 minutes and seconds was left in the clock.
—————————
As 3 minutes past all they heard the past 2 minutes earlier was gunshots and players being eliminated.

"Player 031 pass" the pa said.

As Ron and Hermione looked at Harry, as he held the Triangle in front of the guard.
—————————
4 more minutes passed, Ron also had already passed as they waited at the room waiting for Hermione to pass.

While Hermione was having some troubles with her shape, as then as a crack was heard, she looked at the cookie as she saw a crack in her shape she looked at the guard in front of her shaking slightly tearing up.

The guard in front of her looked around and saw a player behind them also crack his shape as they shot him dead as the pa announced the players elimination, no player nor guard was looking at them as the other guards focus on the players in front of them.

As the guard looked at Hermione, they reach at their pocket as Hermione close her eyes ready for her to be shot, but a few seconds later no shot she slowly opens her eyes and saw the guard, giving her a container, the same container with the dalgona, she looked at the guard shocked as the guard still looked around.

She slowly took it as the guard took the old container they closed it slowly placing it on their pocket, as Hermione was about to carve it out she noticed it was already carved out she looked at the guard confused as the Triangle announced, "Player 019 pass".

She looked at the guard confused but slightly shocked, she stood up as she was about to walk away the guard silently slipped a note and something on the pocket of her leggings without her knowing.
———————————
Hermione was sitting on her bed still confused about the last game, 'Why was that guard helping me?','is this some kind of sick joke?'.

She thought to herself, as she put her hands on the pocket of her leggings she felt something like a note and she something she can't tell by the touch, she took out the note, as she looked around seeing almost the people that passed was talking and the others sleeping.

She open the note as it read out.

"I'll tell you everything later, meet me at the bathroom

- 020 Y/N"

She looked at the note at disbelief, She thought that 020 was the guard number,and Y/N being their name.

As she looked around she saw at the front was 2 Triangle guards armed as they were guarding the room making sure the players won't do anything to escape or cheat, as the guard on the right looked at Hermione.

As she looked at the guards pocket she patted her pocket signing her to check it, she checked her pocket as she slowly took it out she was shock to see a pocket knife.

She crumbled the note in the pocket of her jacket as she got off her bed and walk towards the Triangle guard at the right.

|• Hermione's POV •|

"I need to use the bathroom" I told the guards, the guard in the left was about to follow me but the other stopped them as they signed to stay, the guard in the right followed me to the bathroom as we entered.

I looked the guard and said "were you the guard that helped passed me the note?" They didn't said anything but nodded, they closed the door as we went infront of the sink,

"What are you gonna tell me?" As I looked at them, as again they said nothing but take off their hood and another head cover, as their hair flow down they dropped the head cover now taking off their mask.

I was shocked, I never knew there was a female guard, she fixed their hair as they looked at me with cold eyes,

"You got to be careful at lights out" she said,I looked at them confused, "Why?" I asked, "Player 005,Draco Malfoy and and his goons are planning something I heard them talking about getting you,player 031 and player 003".

I looked away anywhere than her, " Thank you" I looked back at her "for helping me back then at the honeycomb game and warning me".

She nodded, " The next game is tug of war" I looked at her 'so now she's telling me the next game's', "then marbles, you're needing to find a partner,just don't team with one of your friends, you're not playing with them, you're playing against them".

" Then the glass stepping stone, the pa voice will tell you to take your shoes off, they never said anything of using your shoes to thrown in the glass to tell the difference between the tempered glass don't worry I'll just give you guys new ones" she said.

"And the last game is squid game" I looked at them once more their e/c looking at my brown ones.

I slowly nodded, they handed me something I looked at their hand, it was a red bracelet with a Triangle in the middle.

I looked at them as they nodded signing me go take it, I slowly took it and wore it, "Thank you" I said almost like a whisper.

"Be careful,you'll never know what Player 005 will do" I nodded as I stared at the bracelet.

"We should go now" she said picking up the head cover wearing it the ln the mask lastly the hood as she finished we entered the room.
