The Love Story of Peter & Hermione (The Chronicles of Narnia)

Chapter Four

-Hermione Granger-

A few days after what happened, the rain had finally cleared up and we all went outside to enjoy the wonderful weather. Lucy and I sat under a tree. Lucy was reading while I was drawing the landscape. Meanwhile, Peter, Susan, Mary, Aurora and Edmund were playing cricket.

"And Peter winds up, poised to take yet another wicket...," Peter spoke like an announcer as he threw the ball and it hit Edmund in the leg.

Judging by the way Edmund whined, he was staring off into space.

"Your okay?" Aurora asked as he nodding.

"Whoops! Wake up, Dolly Daydream!" Peter joked as Edmund glared at him.

"Why can't we play hide-and-seek again?" Edmund asked.

"I thought you said that it was a kid's game," Peter replied.

"He's right." Mary agreed.

"Besides, we could all use the fresh air," Susan responded.

"Not like there isn't air inside," Edmund retorted as Aurora sighed.

"Are you ready?" Peter asked him.

"Are you?" Edmund replied as he smacks his bat on the ground and got ready to hit the ball.

Peter pitched the ball. It bounced and Edmund whacked it good. It went off flying as it smashed through an upstairs window. The noise caused Lucy and I to look up at what happened. We both got up and followed the others to the room where the ball went through.

-In the room-

We were looking at the broken window and the suit of armor that was on the floor.

"Oh my God." Mary sighed before they looked at Edmund.

"Well done, Ed!" Peter blamed him.

"You bowled it!" Edmund shot back.

"Are you still fighting right now?!" Mary exclaimed as footsteps were heard.

"The Macready!" Susan whispered.

"Run!" Peter ordered as we ran around the house looking for a place to hide.

All the doors were locked except for one. We entered the wardrobe room as Edmund ran up to the wardrobe and opened the door.

"Come on!" Edmund told us as he stepped into the wardrobe.

"You've have got to be joking," Susan sighed as I pushed her in.

"No time to lose, Susan," I sassed.

"Go!" Peter said as we all climbed into the wardrobe.

Peter was careful to leave the door open a crack.

"Move back! Stop shoving!" Peter shouted as we all moved backwards.

"Ow! You're on my foot!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Don't push!" Edmund whined.

"Watch out! Stop it!" Susan yelled just before she, Mary and Peter tripped into snow.

They looked back and gasped as they realise we have entered a snowy wood.

"Impossible!" Susan looked shocked as she got up.

"Don't worry," Lucy said, walking with me.

"It's probably just your imagination," I teased, looking at their guilty looks.
