I wake up but rather than seeing a forest I see an infirmary. I sit up and see Madam Pomfrey.

"Oh you're awake. Good breakfast is being served in the Great Hall so off you go."

"Thank you." Did I dream all of that? I look at my arm and see it wrapped up. "Wait Madam what happened?"

"After you and your friends charmed all the books you ran off. McGonagall said that one minute you were running and before she knew it you were passed out with a cut on your arm."

"Oh thank you." That doesn't really make sense but whatever. I make my way to the Great Hall for breakfast. I see my boys laughing at something or someone as always.

"Vix! Glad to see you're not dead."

"Thanks Prongs. So boys what are we talking about?"

"Well we agreed we need a name for our group of misfits" Remus says.

"I already thought of a great one"

"For the last time we are not calling ourselves the snapback squad, Jesus Christ Worm"

"Hey, it's better than 'James and the potters'"

"Well anything sounds stupid when you say it like that"

"Hey how about 'the Dream Team'"

"Pads that's terrible" I say

"Okay how about banter band"

"They keep getting worse"

"Well Vix what are you thinking?"

"What about-"

"What nonsense are you marauders up to now?" McGonagall interrupts.

"Nothing." We answer at the same time.

"Well, Verity I wanted to make sure you were okay after yesterday's events."

"Oh yes, I am fine."

"Well make sure you stay hydrated, so you won't pass out again." She turns to leave but before she leaves she turns back around. "Oh and you have detention with the rest of your babbling bumbling band of baboons."

"Yeah saw that coming."

"Anyways V whatcha got?"

"Did you not hear the amazing name McGonagall gave us?"

"No what did she say?"

"Do you mean babbling bumbling band of baboons? Because she calls everyone that."

"No, now listen up boys I hear by pronounce us 'The Marauders'"

"What does that even mean?"

"Pads it refers to a person who marauds or a raider."

"And that means?"

"Basically we are people who 'attack' people."

"Well it's never without reason."

"Yes, we know."

"The sexual tension between them is so real." I whisper to James as Remus and Sirius bicker.

"You think they..."

"I have a good feeling."

"Are you talking about their sexual tension?" Peter whispers.

"Yeah."

"Wait you think that too?"

"It's been there since first year."

"Yeah James, are you that blind"

"No-"

"Okay so we all agree on the Marauders?"

"Yes." We all agree.

Later that day James and I are at quidditch practice. It's nice out but it's super windy. I'm a chaser and James is a seeker and a damn good one at that. We split the teams in two for a scrimmage. I am chasing Daniel who has the quaffle. I reach to grab it, but he pushes me a little too hard and I start falling. The last thing I see is Daniel racing to help me.

3rdPOV (back in Narnia)

"He must know what he's doing."

"I think it's up to us now."

"Does anyone else hear screaming?" Susan asks.

Everyone runs outside to see a girl falling out of the sky.

Back to Verity's POV

"ARRESTO MOMENTUM" I hover over the ground for a second but fall flat on the ground. "And that everyone is why I always keep my wand with me during practice." I look up to see that I am not on the quidditch pitch.

"Huh I'm having another Narnian dream." I see Sirius staring at me wearing weird clothes. "Sirius what the heck... are you invading my dreams again? Wait. Did I pass out from the fall?" Sirius looks at me confused.

"Do you mean seriously?" He asks me.

"What? No I mean Sirius as in you."

"Who are you?" Someone asks me. I turn to see who asked and see it's a centaur.

"Pads who are these people?"

"Are you still talking to me?"

"Yes. Did you hit your head as well? I thought all of that hair on your head would cushion any blow."

"I'm not Pads or Sirius. I am prince Caspian the tenth. Who are you?"

"I'm sorry what?"

"Who are you?" He asks again.

"Pads what are you talking about, it's me... Verity aka Vixen... best friends since first year. Met on the Hogwarts express."

"What's a Hogwarts?" A girl asks but I know that voice.

"Wait a minute you four were in my dream the other day."

"What?"

"Yeah, we were in a forest, you kept talking about finding the Narnians and a Caspian. Who I guess is a Padfoot wannabe with a Spanish accent, and there was a goblin with you?" They look among themselves and put their swords up and aim at me. I put my hands up I don't know why but it's just what you do when you don't want to die.

"You are going to tell us everything starting with how you got here all the way up to this moment and don't leave out a single detail." Peter says. I think for a second to see if I should actually tell them everything.

'Trust them. It's okay my child tell them everything. From start to finish. But be patient for they are not like you.' I hear a voice tell me. It's a deep, calming voice. I take a breath before I start.

"Okay. I guess it all started a couple days ago when someone called my friend a mudblood."

"What's a mudblood?" Susan asks.

"Wow this is gonna take a while."

I tell them basically everything. I tell them how I got here answering questions along the way. Honestly it took forever. Muggles am I right? They truly have no imagination.

"So then I go Pads who-"

"Okay we know what happened next." Peter interjects he looks like he has a headache.

"You know you give a lot of detail in your stories" Susan says.

"You all told me not to leave out any details. You're welcome."

"Wait so you were the fox the whole time?" Lu asks.

"Yeah"

"But I carried you the whole time we were walking."

"You faked a limp. I wrapped your arm up" Susan says sounding upset she used fabric for my injury.

"I'm sorry did you forget that someone named Miraz cut my arm open. Or can you not see the wrap that is still on my arm. And I thought you were the smart one."

"She told you."

"Shut up Ed."
