Peter would rather be battling Giants in the North or being pulled limb from limb than tutoring Hannah. Hannah sneered at him constantly or filed her nails.
"Shouldn't you get to work." Peter asked for the fifth time,not that Hannah would even listen to him.
"Why should I,they don't dare flunk me,my father won't hear of it." Hannah said digging in her satchel and taking out a cigarette and book of matches,she lit it and took along drag.
"What are you doing? Are you out of your bloody mind!" Peter hissed looking around for a teacher. They were in the dining hall .
"Quit being so uptight."Hannah snapped ,suddenly her expression changed and she put the cigarette down close to Peter.
"What's going on here,what is that!" Headmaster Garner voice rose as he plucked the cigarette from the table.
Hannah burst into tears," It's Peter's sir,he-he w-wanted me to try it and when I said no he said I was too uptight."
Headmaster Garner turned to Peter,"You and I need to have a talk,Mister .Pevensie." he said frowning,"After I dispose of this." he said striding away.

Peter had met alot of ignorant people during his reign as king,but Headmaster Garner took the matter how many times Peter told him it wasn't his,but Hannah's he refused to believe it .
"Hannah doesn't lie." Headmaster Garner said confidently.
For some reason,Peter found that statement rather absurd and though he knew he shouldn't,he started laughing.
"I'm glad you find this amusing,,perhaps you will find it amusing when you are suspended for two weeks" Headmaster Garner frowned.
Peter stared at him,"With all due respect,Hannah could give lessons on lying."

"You've been suspended?" Edmund asked in disbelief," You who never used to get into any trouble,you've been suspeneded."
"What did you do." Susan asked curiously.
"It's not what I did it's what Hannah did."Peter said and he proceeded to tell them what had happened.
"Hmm,sounds like Hannah." Susan said nodding."So what are you going to tell Mum."
"I have to tell her the truth,I can't exactly hide the fact that I've been suspended ." Peter said as they stopped in front of the primary school,Lucy came bursting through the gates,beaming and waving a paper about.
Mum did not look happy,when they came home."Peter,come into the parlour,the rest of you go upstairs and start on your homework." she said quietly,heading into the parlour. Peter followed her.
Mum indicated the arm chair and he sat dwon,but she remained standing," Your Headmaster called,he says you've been suspended for two this true.?"
"Yes,did they say why." Peter asked
Mum looked surprised,"No,I didn't bother asking,I figured it was for fighting again,why what did happen."
Peter told her,when he was through,she kept shaking her head,"Is Hannah that girl that was here the other day the one you're tutoring."
"Yes." Peter said wondering if Mum would be like every other grown up.
"This won't do at all,tomorrow we are going down to that school and having a talk with the Headmaster." she said
RrRrRrR
The next day Mum headed toward the Headmaster's office ,she didn't knock,she just went in.
"Mum! you can't just ." Peter's voice trailed off. Come to think of it he rather was enjoying the look on Headmaster's face. He sat up and looked at them.
"Weren't you suspended,Peter." he asked
Mum interrupted," That is what I would like to speak to you about."she said taking a seat.
Headmaster noticed her,"Ah,Missus Pevensie,I do not know what lies your son has told you,but rest assured we do feel that we are only doing our duty byh elping the parents of ths community in educating their wonderful " here his eyes darkened and he looked at Peter,"There are several in this fine instuition that delight in dragging others down with just yesterday your son tried to talk a young impressionable female student into breaking one of our rules. One that is clearly stated in the handbook."
" I know my son and he does not lie. I am also under the impression that this "impressionable" student is not as honest as she claims to since I have asked my other children about her ." Mum said coldly not the least bit impressed by the headmaster's big words. She was married to a lawyer after all.
For once Headmaster Garner was at aloss for words,he opened and closed his mouth .
Mum was not finished ,"In the future I would advise against making hasty judgements." she said standing up. she left the office.
Headmaster Garner stared after her,then looked at Peter and said weakly,"Go to your class."
Peter hurried out.
