I get up, and open the door to the base. Well, I don't see anyone.  Wait.  I look over at a tree that's about 20 meters away and a shadow dashes from behind the tree, into the woods. I am slowly making my way into the woods when I hear a twig snap. Okay. So the fact that I don't have this horn with me is kind of dangerous, but I love adventure so I will be fine.

I look around through the trees to see what the shadow is and where it went, when suddenly I feel someone grab my arm, turn me around, and punch me in the head. My vision becomes blurred and I can't see this persons face. I reach for my wand. Oh no. Darn it! I left it at the Professors' house. Then I blacked out, for the second time today.

I wake up, look around, and realize that I'm in a prison cell.  Wow.  Just lovely.  I wonder how Draco, Peter, Edmund, and Caspian are going to handle this.  Ha.  They are probably going to kill me.  Really though.  What was I thinking?  Just walking out of a base and following someone into the woods seriously isn't the greatest idea ever.  I mean, it's not really all my fault is it?  I didn't know that I left my wand at the Professors' house.  I look around.  No one else seems to be down here.

I hear footsteps coming down the stone stairs that are "conveniently" placed in front of my cell.  A man who looks like a guard stops in front of my cell and looks directly into my eyes.

"Who are you and what were you doing in the woods?!"  he yells at me.

"I'm Hermione Granger, and I was simply exploring the woods.  You know, Narnia is a very interesting place."  I said cool and collected.

"And where exactly did you come from?"  he asks, pushing another question in my face.

"I came from an island far from here.  My parents died when I was very young, so I have been taking care of myself all these years."  I reply, not giving away any location information.

"I see.  Do you know anything of Prince Caspian's whereabouts?"  he questions with a very serious tone.

"Sir, if I knew I would tell you.  And quite frankly, I don't really know who that is."  I say, hopefully sounding like I'm not lying because I obviously am.

"Okay.  Thank you for your time."  he says, as he turns around, and begins walking towards the stairs.

Ugh, finally he's gone.  I should've asked him where the heck I am.  All I know is I hope it's not too far away from the base, so Draco, Edmund, Peter, and Caspian don't have too much of a hard time finding it.  Honestly, if I wasn't being stupid and forgot my wand, then I could've already blasted my way out of here.  But then again, this is a different world.  What if magic doesn't work here?
