And yes I did say published, there was a book that was written later in the series, which is supposed to be the first in chronological order, but for now, we are going by publish date." He said as he looked around at all of them. ”There are also a few movie adaptations of this book, but I will be purely discussing the book, not any of the movie versions. This is a book club after all.” He pointed out as he reached his desk again and leaned on it.. ”Now, this book has to do with ordinary kids, being pulled into a magical world that's inside a wardrobe. A plain old wardrobe much like that one is.” Kalen said as he pointed to the wardrobe opposite him. ”The main characters are the Pevensie siblings, Peter is the eldest, Susan the next, followed by Edmund and finally Lucy, the youngest. Now all of the siblings were sent away from London due to air raids from a war that was happening..They were sent to a house of an old Professor in the country and from his house is where our adventures start..”
Kalen paused to give his words time to sink in, he was after all hitting them with a ton of information. ”It is interesting to note that the youngest, Lucy, found Narnia first. She wandered into the wardrobe as the four kids were exploring the house on a rainy day, the rest of the kids went off to explore more but she opened the door to the wardrobe and hopped into it.. and instead of finding the back of the wardrobe, she found a magical world called Narnia!” He grinned happily, the Narnia Chronicles were some of his favorite books. ”So Lucy found herself in a snowy forest and saw what looked like a lamp post, so naturally she walked towards it, only to meet a faun named Mr.Tumnus and after a brief chat, discovers that she is in a land called Narnia! She also went to have tea with him, because that's what you do when you enter a strange snowy land right? Go off to have tea with the first creature you meet.” Kalen chuckled softly to himself.. ”Now Tumnus originally meant to kidnap Lucy and take her to the White Witch, the "Queen of Narnia” who has kept the entire land in permanent winter. But after some crying on Mr. Tumnus's part and some cajoling on Lucy's part, he let her go and she came jumping out of the wardrobe and hollered for her siblings..
Because you see, she had been gone for hours in Narnia, but only a few seconds went by in our world.. She told her siblings about Narnia and, of course they didn't believe her, they even went to the wardrobe, and pushed coats aside and.. there was the back of the wardrobe..
Curious hmm?
And that is only the first few chapters of the book! I wish we had time to go into all of it, but for right now.. this is all we will be studying.”
Kalen was walking again as he spoke, his voice calm but excited, one could tell he loved this subject.. ”So tell me! Why do you think her elder siblings couldn't see Narnia at first? Why do you think they just saw a plain old back of the wardrobe and not the magical wood that Lucy saw?” He asked as he looked at all of them..
...........
Vivian Fairfield was lost. What was Narnia? Who were the Pevensies? And Mr. Tumnus?! The Slytherin had absolutely no idea what they were discussing. It made her a little embarrassed because, had she known they'd actually discuss a book, she wouldn't have came and made a fool of herself! Curiosity wasn't always the best reason to do things, the blonde learned the hard way. However, she was here now and it would be rude if she had just suddenly walked away. Perhaps only one thing about the book they were discussing had caught her attention. The name "Edmund" was mentioned, which happened to be her father's name too! The fourth year smiled, remembering her dad. She missed him.
Anyway, moving on. Vivian didn't really know what the book was about. It was a shame, really, but it just wasn't in her to be a bookworm. But she had to give it a shot! Trying to put herself on Lucy's shoes, she wondered why she would be able to see the hidden world. Hmm... Vivian raised her hand. " Because she was young, Sir, and she had opened her mind to the possibility that magical things can happen?" It sounded more like an inference rather than a fact, as what the others in attendance seemed. " And her siblings were probably more of realists instead of idealists...."
Well, she tried.
