Note: I once read stories like this - a collection of random moments between a certain character and an OC - and figured I'd make one since I'm not good with long and on-going stories (I get tired writing them in the end). Anyways, this is my first Edmund/OC fic. Hope you'll like it. :)
When she introduced herself
Indeed, the moment everything began is the moment that will linger in your memory the longest. Best to make good impressions… (Timeline: LWW)
"My name is Amelia Ross," she chirped, smiling brightly to the newcomers. "Hello!"
Amelia was not used to having boring days. She lived in a happy household after all, despite being the only child of a loving couple. The professor's house was indeed big, but she wasn't quite happy spending her time alone. So when she heard that four children would come, she decided to give them a warm welcome.
She found them in their room. The door was open so she stood in the doorway. The four guests just got settled when she greeted them. It must have been a long journey for them, Amelia thought, for they looked exhausted.
Nevertheless, she straightened her back and took a deep breath. "Welcome," she greeted once again.
"Hello, Amelia," one of them greeted. Amelia thought he might have been the eldest among them all for he was the tallest. "I'm Peter Pevensie, and these are my siblings – Susan, Edmund, and Lucy." Peter gestured to each of them as he stated their names.
Amelia's smile never left her lips. "It's nice to meet all of you."
The youngest of the Pevensies – Lucy – went to her and shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you too, Amelia." She had the brightest smile, and Amelia thought she would get along with her just fine.
"I think we should go down now," Susan told Peter. "It's almost time for supper."
Peter nodded and ushered all of them to go down.
Amelia found herself smiling. With everything that's going on, she finally had a reason to be cheerful.
They were now stepping out of the room and into the hallway when she finally got a close look at him.
"Hello," she said as she moved closer to him.
"Hi," he greeted back, frowning.
She thought of what to say next. "So, how was your trip?"
Edmund stopped from his tracks, which made Amelia stop as well. His eyes, void of any emotion, stared at her for a couple of seconds. She could feel her smile slowly fading at that moment. His eyes seemed to pierce through her, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
"You talk too much," he finally said.
Amelia blinked and froze in the spot for a couple of seconds. She was not expecting such a reply from Edmund. She expected a warm reply to her kind gestures.
She watched him walk away, his hands in his pockets.
