POV: Alec

Me and Magnus lay cuddling on the couch watching the re-runs of 'Project Runway' that he had missed, since the big battle with Sebastian and the dark shadow hunters which many shadow hunters and downworlders had been hurt in, Magnus had been too busy with work to spend much time with me.

"I've got an Idea!" Magnus exclaimed suddenly, making me jump and fall off the couch. He peered over the side at me smirking, I just glared at him.

"What is it?" I asked getting off the floor and rubbing my sore backside which made him smirk even more

"Let's have dinner in France!" he said jumping up and down with excitement, I just eyed him warily. I never knew where he got his energy from these days; he'd been working a lot lately and had been warned not to use his magic too much.

"Not a good idea Magnus" I said then regretted it instantly when I saw him frown. "What I meant was that you're not supposed to be doing much magic, that's all" He thought for a moment.

"Just this one trip please" he begged me "And then I promise to rest up for the next two days" he told me, I sighed and he knew he had won.

"Fine let's go" I mumbled and he began to make the portal, when it was done we stepped though and landed in front of the Eiffel tower.

"Hmm where to go?" Magnus muttered to himself then he grabbed my arm and started pulling towards a fancy looking restaurant. When we got inside I saw everyone was fancily dressed and I was glad Magnus had told me to change before we came.

"Voulez-vous une table?" A pretty waitress asked in an elegant French ascent, winking at Magnus with brown and blue eyes. I tensed up and Magnus took my hand indicating to her that we were a couple.

"Oui s'll vous plait" Magnus replied with ease, the waitress glared at me a second before she gestured for us to follow her to a table. She handed us a menu each and walked off.

"I don't think she liked me very much" I said and Magnus laughed.

"She's just jealous that I have such a cute boyfriend" He said making me blush at that moment the waitress came back with a note pad in her hand.

"Vous avez chosisi?" she asked, pointedly ignoring me. Magnus ordered two cokes and two bowls of 'Soupe a l'oignon' which was apparently an onion soup with a beef stock base and cheese on top.

"You'll love the soup I promise you" Magnus told me excitedly and I smiled, it wasn't often that Magnus was excited like this or that I had Magnus all to myself so I was going to make use of it. Before we could say anything else the waitress came back with our drinks and meals.

"Bon appetit" she said before walking off swaying her hips and winking at Magnus one last time, I sent a glare at her and Magnus laughed.

"You are so cute!" he said and my checks lit up bright red, trying to hide my face I took a spoonful of the soup.

"This .is .amazing" I said before spooning more into my mouth, the look on Magnus triumphant. When we had finished our meal we went into a alley way so that Magnus could make a portal without any mundane's seeing.

However when we stepped though the portal we were greeted by another sight then expected. In front of us was a huge stone mansion with green, leafy hedges and a flowing water fountain.

"I think I may have taken us somewhere in another country" Magnus said, earning a glare from me.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" A voice said behind us, we both tensed up, this wasn't gonna be good.
