[nine: impossible]

After realizing Edmund and Genevieve had both ventured to Narnia. Lucy was ecstatic as she rushed to wake up both Peter and Susan up to see Narnia for themselves. She was so sure they would believe her, now having Edmund on her side to have his say on the matter and Genevieve who Lucy was sure she hadn't imagined in Narnia.

"Peter, Peter, wake up! Peter, wake up! It's there! It's really there!" Lucy vigorously shook Peter awake who groaned in his sleep as he tried to cover his head with a pillow to drown out Lucy's voice who was screaming in his ear.

"Shh. Lucy, what are talking about?" Peter asked, his voice strained as he looked at her with tired eyes.

"Narnia! It's all in the wardrobe like I told you!"

"You've just been dreaming, Lucy." Susan groaned as she looked at Lucy who had woke her up from her sleep and Susan was not happy.

"But I haven't! I saw Mr. Tumnus again! And this time Edmund went too and I saw Genevieve."

"Genevieve?" Susan asked as she raised an eyebrow at Lucy. "The girl we met on the train?"

"Yes. Genevieve Potter." Lucy said and wanted to roll her eyes, she had finally seen Narnia and its almost as if they diverted the conversation.

"You... You saw the faun?" Peter asked Edmund and Edmund shook his head no, not wanting his siblings to know what he had actually seen through the wardrobe.

"Well, he didn't actually go there with me. He... What were you doing, Edmund?"Lucy asked Edmund curiously and Edmund froze as he tried to think up of an excuse as to what he'd seen but couldn't think of one on the spot so he did the next best thing. He lied.

"I was just playing along. I'm sorry, Peter. I shouldn't have encouraged her, but you know what little children are like these days. They just don't know when to stop pretending." Edmund quickly sits on his bed and looks smugly at Lucy who starts to cry and runs out of the room with Susan and Peter running after her after shoving Edmund onto his bed.

"Ow!"

Lucy runs down the hall, tears running freely down her pale cheeks until she hits something rather firm and hears someone grunt. Lucy looks up and sees the Professor and on instinct she throws her arms around him and cries into his shirt. Peter and Susan's eyes widen as they look from their sister to the Professor and they could hear the Macready's footsteps echoing in the corridor.

"Oh!" Professor Kirke said as he gently patted the crying girls back as Mrs Macready appeared, outraged at what she saw.

"You children are one shenanigan shy of sleeping' in the stable! Professor. I'm sorry. I told them you were not to be disturbed."

"It's alright, Mrs. Macready. I'm sure there's an explanation. But first of all, I think this one is in need of a little hot chocolate." Professor Kirke stated before taking Lucy's had and passing her over to Mrs Macready who put a fake sympathetic smile on her face.

"Yes Professor. Come along, dear." Mrs. Macready takes Lucy down the hall and Peter and Susan turn to go back to deal with Edmund before they are interrupted.

"Ahem." The Professor says and Susan and Peter slowly turn as the Professor motions for them to follow him to his office and both internally groaned as they prepared to be scolded for causing a commotion

...

The Professor sits at his desk and takes some tobacco out of a silver apple case and puts it in his pipe and he stares at the two oldest Pevensies that are sat before him in his study. The Professor takes a puff of his pipe before looking towards the two.

"You seem to have upset the delicate internal balance of my housekeeper."

"We're very sorry sir. It won't happen again." Peter says  as he tries to pull Susan away and back towards their respected rooms but Susan tugs her arm away.

"It's our sister, sir. Lucy."

"The weeping girl. The Professor asks her and Susan nods her head timidly.

"Yes, sir. She's upset."

"Hence the weeping."

"It's nothing." Peter interrupts, not wanting to bring the Professor into their personal business as he was sure the Professor didn't really care."We can handle it!"

"Oh, I can see that."

"She thinks she's found a magical land." Susan starts and the Professor smiles. "In the upstairs wardrobe."

"What did you say?" The Professor asked, quickly raising to his feet as a flood of memories pass through his brain.

"Um, the wardrobe, upstairs. Lucy thinks she's found a forest inside." Peter stated.

"She won't stop going on about it." Susan say as she and Peter sit on a couch and the Professor sits in a chair across from them in the study.

"What was it like?" the Professor asked excitedly, the very idea of the magical land from his childhood being brought back into his life again especially through something he brought back from there many years ago.

"Like talking to a lunatic." Susan says honestly and the Professor shakes his head.

"No, no, no, not her. The forest."

"You're not saying you believe her?" Peter asked, a look of shock upon both his and his sisters face.

"You don't?" The Professor asked confused, knowing that it was logically possible to get to the land from a piece of Narnia itself.

"But of course not! I mean, logically, it's impossible." Susan said the Professor scoffed before shaking his head.

"What do they teach in schools these days?" The Professor mumbled, not loud enough for the siblings to hear.

"Edmund said they were only pretending." Peter stated and the Professor laughed slightly.

"And he's usually the more truthful one, is he?"

"No. This would be the first time."

"Well, if she's not mad and she's not lying, then logically we must assume she's telling the truth." The Professor stated but Susan just shook her head.

"But she claimed she saw someone else there, a girl we mat on the train to the country." Susan said and the Professor looked at her confused, unsure of how someone else would have found their way to Narnia.

"Who was this girl?"

"Genevieve Potter." Susan said and the Professor choked on the tobacco he was smoking as he looked towards the two with his eyes wide.

"Genevieve Potter? Granddaughter of Thomas Lee?" The Professor asked, eyes wide as he thought of his late best friend and his offspring.

"I'm unsure sir, we only met her for a minute. She was off to stay with her uncle Marcus." Peter stated and the Professors eyes lit up at the mention of the young boy.

"Marcus Lee oh what a delight and his sister Elizabeth is my Goddaughter." Professor Kirke mumbled and the siblings looked at him, confused and slightly scared.

So," Peter attempted to get back onto the topic. "You're saying that we should just believe her?"

"She's your sister, isn't she? You're her family! You might just try acting like one! " The Professor said before ushering the children out of the room as he picked up a photo of himself, Thomas and Polly from his childhood.

"The wardrobe," He mindlessly mumbled as he looked at the wardrobes in another picture. "She went through the other wardrobe."
