The Lion, the Witch, and the Wizards
DISCLAIMER: most of this story is going to be from the books. The crossover idea IS NOT mine, although I did come up with the Harry Potter/Narnia idea. If someone else has already published a Harry Potter/Narina fanfic, I apologize and insist that I was not taking your idea. There are far too many fanfics for me to read them all, so I have no clue whether or not someone has already published one. If you have, please let me know - I would love to read it!
Okay so this is my first fanfic ever. This first chapter may be a little boring, but I will try to make the rest more interesting. Our story begins in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix right after the Astronomy O.W.L., where McGonagall is hit by four "Stunners" in the chest...
Upsetting Happenings
Harry had been seeing a lion all day, in the most unexpected places. First he had seen it on the back of his parchment for his theoretical astronomy O.W.L., and then in his mashed potatoes at lunch. He had even thought that he had glimpsed a lion walking - strolling, even - through the mists in his crystal ball during his Divination O.W.L. He hadn't told Professor Marchbanks about it though, having thought it to be a figment of his imagination; the figure hadn't been there a second later when he did a double-take. He might have continued believing that if he hadn't seen a lion-like constellation. He knew it wasn't Leo though, as he had already added that to his star chart in a different part.
"Harry? Harry? HARRY!" Ron's voice brought him out of his reverie. "Are you all right, mate?"
Harry nodded slowly. It was funny what a person could think of when in shock. He looked around at his friends in the common room. Ginny was curled up in an armchair, staring into the fireplace. She looked much as she had when Mr. Weasley went to St. Mungo's for the snakebite… what was he thinking about that for? Hermione had her nose buried in her transfiguration book. That in itself was a surprise; Hermione would normally be studying for the next O.W.L., History of Magic. It seemed that she was trying to honor Professor McGonagall. Ron, however, was frowning concernedly at him. "Are you sure? You had this funny look on your face," his best friend continued.
"I'm all right. I was just… thinking," Harry answered.
"Yeah, me too. I think we should feed the hag to a box of starving Blast-Ended Skrewts. It might suffice."
Ron's remark resulted in a chuckle from Harry, Hermione rolling her eyes from behind her book, and a strangled noise coming from Ginny that Harry realized was laughter, though a sorry imitation of what Ginny was usually capable of. "No, that isn't what I was thinking about, Ron." Hermione frowned at this, her attention pulled away from her book. "Although that is a good idea. No. I was thinking about something completely unrelated." He told them about the lion, finishing with, "I know it sounds crazy - I was probably just imagining it."
"I don't think you were, Harry," Hermione said in a small voice. "I saw a lion everywhere, too. I have already checked my old divination book - it didn't say anything about a lion except for, 'an unpredictable omen. Varies from time to time. Is considered a symbol of strength and rulers.'" At Ron's gaping mouth and puzzled expression, she continued, "In other words, it means nothing where the future is concerned."
"I wonder how McGonagall is," Ginny whispered. "It can't be good…"
"You heard Alicia, Ginny. Madam Pomfrey is a very talented witch." Hermione's troubled expression belied her soothing words.
"You know what, let's go down to her office," Ron suggested. The other three looked at him incredulously. He shrugged. "It might make us feel better."
"Ron," Ginny began in a scathing voice. "What an excellent idea. We'll go down, sneak past Umbridge, and then break into Professor McGonagall's office. You know, you always were well known for your bright ideas. Oh, did I mention it is well past midnight, and no students are allowed out of bed right now, not even prefects?"
"Harry does have an Invisibility Cloak, you know," Ron said half-heartedly. "I just thought it might make us feel better, give us something to do, you know?"
Ginny snorted. "The Cloak won't cover all four of us, genius."
Hermione, who seemed to have perked up at Ron's idea, interjected here, "I could do a Disillusionment Charm. I learned how from Tonks. That way, we could all have a Charm on us, and we could still go under the Cloak as an added precaution."
"Fine," Ginny said.
Hermione, apparently happy to have something to do, took charge. "Okay, Harry and Ron, go up to the boy's dormitories, get the Cloak, and wear it down to the portrait hole. Ginny and I will go upstairs like we're going to bed. I'll Disillusion us upstairs, then come down and meet you at the portrait hole. Stay hidden. When no one is looking, we'll leave. I'll see you back down here in a minute."
This is right out of book 5 - pg 724 to be exact.
Okay so this chapter was pretty much all J.K. Rowling's ideas.
Please review this and tell me what you think. I am going to begin the next chapter right away.
