Once Upon a time... (Chronicles of Narnia/Harry Potter Cross Over)

Meeting Mr.Beaver

*UNEDITED*

Hermione's POV

We run outside and a beaver appears.

" It... It's a beaver" Lucy stutters. I held the urge to say "No duh". I know I have a horrible habit of hating the moments when people can be extremely stupid. In simple words Hermione and stupidity don't go well together.

"Here, boy" Peter says clucking is tongue and holding out his hand. but the beaver sits upright and says "I ain't gonna smell it, if that's what you want!"

Lucy and me started giggling. Lucy because she already knew animals can talk. Me because 1. Peter looked so stupid and 2. because this looked like nothing compared to my many other adventures.

"Oh! Sorry" Peter said looking shocked and confused at the same time while standing up straight. That just made me laugh more.

"Lucy Pevensie?" The beaver asked quite seriously and that made me shut up. What kind of animal talks seriously?

"Yes?" Lucy asks cautiously. I stepped to Lucy's side protectively. I mean wouldn't you if some random animal knew your siblings name?

The beaver hands Lucy a violet coloured handkerchief. "Hey, that's the hanky I gave to Mr-" Lucy says but gets cut of by the beaver "Tumnus. He got it from me just before they took him" wow that beaver really needed to learn some manners.

"Is he alright?" I say trying to sort out this situation calmly. You know I think I've taken leadership and a lot of decisions after 6 years worth of adventures along with Harry and Ron.

" Further in" the beaver said frantically looking around as if someone was going to suddenly pop up and kill us. Right after he said that he scurried off.

As Peter was going to follow him I grab him my the arm "What are you doing?"

"She's right. How do we know we can trust him?" Edmund says. Thank god Edmund still supports me and hadn't stop fighting what's been controling him.

"He said he knows the faun' Peter argues. I guess if I told him I knew his mom he would follow me into a snake pit.

"He's a beaver...he shouldn't be saying anything!" Susan says defending me and Edmund. Now I think about it I actually thank Dumbledore for sending me to grandpa's house. The Pevensie's treat me like family. Plus I finally found my best-friend that's a girl.

The beaver came back and asked "Is everything alright?"

"Yes. We were just talking" Peter said half lying.

"That's better left for safer corners" the beaver said. What? I don't think there is anything safer than a field with just us and nobody else.

"He means the trees" Lucy confirms. Now that is something I haven't come across in ANY of my adventures.

We walk to the beaver dam through the cliff and under a bridge.

" Come on. We don't want to be caught out here after nightfall" the beaver warns us.

From the outside the beavers dam looked like a normal dam with some coming out of the chimney.

" Oh, blimey. Looks like the old girl has got the kettle on. Nice cup of rosy-lee! " Mr.Beaver exclaimed excitedly.

"It's lovely!" I say returning to the normal Hermione. You might be wonderig what "normal Hermione means". It basically means how I was in Hogwarts, polite and caring. The only reason I act horribly towards Peter is because the stress of Dumbledore was just too much.

"Oh, it's merely a trifle, you know. Still got plenty of work to do. Ain't quite finished it yet. It'll look the business when it is done" Mr.Beaver says proudly to the five of us.

When we approached the house we saw another beaver who I assumed was Mrs.Beaver.

"Beaver, is that you? I've been worried sick. If find out you've been with Badger again...Oh, those aren't Badgers. I never thought I would live to see this day!" she says, then she turns to Mr.Beaver and continues " Look at my fur. You couldn't give me ten minutes warning? " The way she was scolding reminded me of Mrs.Weasley.

The thought brought fresh tears to my eyes. "Are you okay Hermione" Lucy asks. "No, I'm fine it's just I got something in my eyes" I say while furiously wiping away any stray tears.

Mr.Beaver's voice snapped me to the present "I'd give you a week if I thought it would've helped"

" Come inside and we'll see if we can't get you some food. And some civilized company" Mrs.Weas- no I mean Mrs.Beaver said.

" Now careful, watch your step" Mr.Beaver said. That's what really brought the past back, Mr.Weasley used to say the exact same thing. It's OK Hermione. Don't Cry. Don't cry. I chant in my head.

"Enjoying the scenery, are we?" Mr.Beaver asks after catching Edmund staring at the two hills in the distance.
