So there's one vote for a Peter/Hermione and one for a Caspian/Hermione. If people want me to go with a romance, vote for any pairings in the reviews and I'll consider the ones that enough people want :)

Somehow Susan had managed to talk Hermione into wearing a dress, which Hermione wasn't too happy about. But she had to admit, she found it a lot more comfortable than she usually found dresses. And it did look nice, how it hugged her waist… oh no, she was NOT turning into a girly girl. Yikes. She was not like Susan, or that Lav-Lav girl, or Romilda Vane or any other ridiculous girl who cares about looks and boys and such.

Several Narnians began gathering around to watch, including Caspian who was trying to stay as far away from Peter as possible. Susan showed her how to load the arrow and helped her aim it at a pinecone. Hermione was delighted when she hit it.

"That wasn't so hard," Hermione said happily.

"Alright… but I recommend trying it on your own before making judgments on how easy it is," Susan cautioned. "Go ahead. Try it on your own. The pinecone next to it."

Hermione smirked as the next pine cone also fell.

"That's a good start," Caspian said, sounding surprised.

"Did you not think a girl could shoot?" Hermione said dangerously.

"Hm, yes, what is that Caspian?" Susan said, in a sickening sweet voice, just daring him to say something sexist. Hermione turned to her in surprise, having pegged Susan for the simpering flirty girl type.

"Um… I mean, I know you're an incredible archer your majesty. No one would dare to think otherwise," Caspian said, evading the point. Neither girl was fooled in the slightest and they both simply gave him disapproving looks.

"So you're implying she's an exception, and that most girls can't?" Hermione said, annoyed.

"I think Caspian was volunteering to be our next target," Susan threatened idly. Caspian's eyes widened until he realized she was joking. Maybe. "Anyways, back to business. I despise wasting time."

Eventually Hermione was able to shoot at a decent distance. At some point in the practice, Lucy wandered over to watch as well.

"You're doing really well," Lucy said cheerfully.

"It's alright," Susan said with a frown. "You'll do."

Hermione looked at her annoyed. "Seriously? Is that really the nicest comment you can give?"

Susan pointed to a tree off in the distance and said, "I'll give you a real compliment when you can shoot that pine cone down."

"There's a pine cone there?" Hermione said incredulously. Susan silently loaded her own arrow and shot down the pine cone. Hermione shook her head in amazement.

"Wanna try?" Susan said with a smile. "There's the pine cone over on that tree."

"Well, I hate backing away from a challenge," Hermione said hesitantly.

"Just try and see how close you can get," Susan said encouragingly. Hermione gave her a look. "I can better gauge your abilities if you try for something harder."

"Alright," Hermione said. She tried and got within a foot of it.

"Could be worse," Susan said with just a hint of approval in her voice. "But maybe you would be shooting better if you didn't have an audience to distract you while you're still just barely learning."

"Excuse me?" Hermione said, getting offended. "I don't mess up just because people are watching me." She was starting to get annoyed by Susan again, just as soon as she thought there might be a chance they could be friends.

"Narnians, leave," Susan said. No one moved. "I said leave." Her firmer voice induced them to leave. Only Lucy stayed behind. Lucy winked to Susan, knowing what was going on.

"I said, I don't need –"

"I know," Susan interrupted. "But it wouldn't be a good idea for you to perform magic in front of them. And we want to learn all about it."

"I'm not actually a big fan of Turkish Delight," Harry said.

Jadis simply smiled and caressed his chin with a cold hand. "Just try one bite? They are simply delightful," she said with a thin lipped smile.

"Well…" he said, not wanting to disappoint her.

"Just try it. I promise, once you've had one, you'll never want to stop eating them," she simpered. Harry got lost in her eyes and found himself simply staring at her. She wouldn't lie to him; she was too beautiful to lie. He put his hand out to take one. Jadis' smile widened.

"Harry? Hey Harry! I thought you were with Hermione!" Ron said, his voice pulling Harry back into reality. Harry frowned. Hermione… Hermione.. the ice… the ice path he had been following to Jadis! He quickly pulled his hand away from the Turkish Delight.

"Oh hey! Turkish Delight? That looks delicious," Ron said.

"You can't possibly be hungry. You just had a big lunch," Harry said quickly, worried there might be something wrong with them.

"Still hungry though, mate. You know me," Ron said.

"Well, go ahead and take one. And perhaps your delightful friend will want to try one after you," Jadis said, looking annoyed that it was Ron and not Harry who was taking the Turkish Delight.

"Actually, we need to go. Ron, Hermione disappeared."

"What do you mean disappeared?" Ron said with a frown, his hand lingering over the Turkish Delight.

"Let's go back to the common room and talk about it."

"Before you go, how about some Turkish Delight?" Jadis said a bit desperately.

"Yeah," Ron said. "A few seconds can't hurt. Plus you were about to waste time eating some before I showed up."

"Take as many as you'd like. I can always get more," Jadis said with a thin smile.

"Cool, thanks a million!" Ron said. He took a big handful.

"How about we bring them back to the common room to share with the other boys?" Harry said quickly, hoping to somehow get rid of them before Ron could eat them. "Sure thing mate. Goodbye, um…"

"Jadis"

"Bye Jadis!" Harry and Ron walked back towards the Gryffindor common room.

"Ron, there's something weird going on with that Jadis girl. And her Turkish Delight," Harry began.

"Right the Turkish Delight!" Ron said, picking one out and bringing it to his mouth.

"Don't eat it!" Harry shouted.
