Ooc: I didn't get Hermione in there.. Oh well, let's just say she was handed a bow and arrow.

Hermione was holding her bow in her hand awkwardly. She had read a book or two on these old-fashioned muggle weapons, and had learned how to use one. But, never in her wildest dreams had she attempted or thought about trying to use one.
Hermione looked the bow up and down, trying to jog her memory about what to do. She held it out, and tried pulling the string back. To her great surprise, and even greater pleasure, it pulled back easily, and twanged when released.
The bow was beautiful, with a more simple elegance. Made from polished wood (of some kind, Hermione didn't know) that was carved to resemble vines and leaves wrapped around it. The carved leaves and vines seemed to be gold, making it much more beautiful to Hermione than any jewel-encrusted one would be. She held it out to the ready, feeling more confident than before.


Susan looked over at the map that Aslan was showing to everyone. His plan was good, because of course, it was Aslan! Her eyes quickly followed the path their enemies would take. "Aslan, will we have to cross the Rush River to be on the Stone Table side, or stay on the ocean side?" Susan asked, hoping to remain dry.
