Lucy was the first to jump out of the wardrobe, followed closely by Edmund and lastly me. I closed the door behind all of us as we exited the spare room.
'I'm going back to my room for a second, okay? I left my glasses there, I'll be at your room in a minute.'
Lucy nodded before pulling away Edmund, almost skipping away in excitement. On the way to my room, I crossed paths with someone, 'OH? Uhh, Professor', I said surprised, 'I didn't think you were awake.'
'The same goes for you, sweetie?' The Professor said with a kind smile.
'I was', Just on my way back from a visit at a fauns house, 'just on my way back from the library, I was looking for something to read.'
'And? Anything special.'
'I'm afraid. I've already been here so long I haven't found anything new.'
The Professor laughed with a certain warmth and kindness in his eyes: 'Tell you what', he hooked his arm with mine like 2 women would while shopping, 'Come back with me to the office, I think there'll be something interesting for you there', he started walking, with me laughing next to him. As we turned into the hall leading to the professors office, Lucy runs down the hall and smacks into the Professor.
She looks up a little frightened and then starts crying, hugging the Professor. Not a second after Susan and Peter came into the hall. And a second after THAT, miss Macready entered the hallway also. 'You children are one shenanigan shy of sleeping in the stable', she looked up and realised she stood in front of the Professor, 'Oh, Professor! I told them you were not to be disturbed.'
'Oh, it's alright, miss Macready', he calmed her, 'I'm sure there's a logical explanation. But I think this one', he put his hands on Lucy's shoulders, 'needs some hot chocolate.' Miss Macready takes Lucy down the hall. 'What happened?' I asked Peter. 'Edmund played along with Lucys magical land and then, when she tried to convince us, he told her he was joking.'
'And I suppose you all told her to stop pretending', you shot back.
'Well...' I could tell he tried to find the right words but couldn't. I sighed while shaking my head at him, I began to walk away but Peter grabbed my hand, 'Alexa, wait! Please...' With his thumb, he stroked my knuckles I didn't look at him, only pulled my hand out of his.
'Peter winds up, goes for the bowl!' Peter narrated himself as he threw the ball, that ended up hitting Edmunds leg. He, Peter and Susan were play cricket while I sat with Lucy under the branches of a big tree.
'Ow!' he exclaimed.
'Whoops', Peter grinned, 'Wake up, Dolly Daydream.' Peter throws a glance my way, but I turn away as soon as we make eyecontact, I didn't see his reaction.
'Can't we play hide and seek again?' Edmund asked, Lucy looked angry still when he asked that.
'I thought you said it was a kids game.' Peter answered.
'Besides,' Lucy added, 'We could all use the fresh air.'
'It's not like their isn't air inside.' Edmund muttered.
'Are you ready then?' Peter questioned.
'Are you?' Edmund shot back, he smacked his bat on the ground and gets ready to hit the ball.
Peter pitched the ball, hard. Edmund is able to whack the ball good but ends up smashing it through an upstairs window. Inside we hear the sound of the ball crashing into something.
