Disclamer: I do not own any of the characters in HP. Come what may is a song of the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack. The only things I own are the characters of Mr. Quijano, his daughter, Clara Quijano, Juan, Maruxa, and Josefa Pereira
Come what may
Chapter two
After the meal, Albus and Juan went for a walk.
-And so… -Albus said- What should I do?
-I don't know, man. Perhaps you should forget her. After all, there are a lot of beautiful women out there.
-But the only woman I want is her!
-Ay, Carallo!-Juan exclaimed- What have I told you Albus? She's beyond your possibilities! She's beyond the possibilities of every man in this village!
- I will meet her…- Albus said, like ignoring what his friend was saying- At any cost
-Even if your ass gets hurt?
-Even if my ass gets hurt. Even if her father tries to kill me. I will meet her.
Juan couldn't reply. He only looked at Albus, with a face of amazement…
---------------------------------------------
Clara Quijano couldn't erase from her mind that moment. That boy was very handsome. And when their looks crossed, she felt her heart beating faster than it had beat before…
-Mi señora-her maiden, Catalina, asked- ¿está usted bien?
-Sí, Catalina- Clara replied- Lo único es…
-¿sí, mi señora?
-Que no me puedo quitar de la cabeza a ese chico
-¿El chico ese al que vimos por la mañana¿Ese chico tan mono?
-Sí, ese chico tan mono…-Clara replied
-Si quiere, yo me puedo enterar de quién es- Catalina said
-¿Y de qué serviría?-Clara asked- Padre le echaría a patadas. Además, ya sabes que va a negociar mi boda con mi primo Alfonso.
Clara only met Alfonso once. When she travelled with her mother (God bless her soul) to Madrid.Clara didn't like him, beacuse she thought he was too stiff. He was good-looking, too, but she didn't like him.
-Bueno, mi señora, voy a por el té…
-------------------------------
-Well-Juan said- We've arrived to O'Neno, the greatest tavern in all Spain.
Juan opened the door and let Albus in. After that, he entered there.
-¡Hola, compañeros!
-¡Hola,Juanito!- the barman, whose name was Carlos, said-Veo que has traído a un amigo..
-Sí, se llama Albus.-Juan replied- Es inglés, y no entiende español, por lo que yo soy su traductor oficial.
-Ah, ya veo-Carlos said- Pues dile a tu amigo que le invito a un vinito, que no trae muy buena cara…
Then, Juan turned to Albus.
-Carlos said that he invites you to a glass of wine.He also says that you don't look well.
-Oh…Tell him that's beacuse of a girl.And tell him also that: thanks.
-Dice que, gracias- Juan told Carlos- Y dice que, si está tan mal, es por una chica….
-No me digas,- Carlos said- La señorita Quijano…
-Pues sí- Juan replied- es ella. Lleva toda la mañana dándome la tabarra con ella. Dice que quiere conocerla, y que está enamoradísimo de ella.
-¿Le contaste lo que hace su padre con sus pretendientes?
-Sí. Y no me hace caso.
-Entonces,- A voice said behind them- Habrá que ayudarle.
-Joan Manuel!- Albus suddenly exclaimed
-Hello, Albus-Joan Manuel said
-But-Albus asked-What are you doing here? I thought you moved to Barcelona.
-I came back here beacuse I missed the people to much…-Joan Manuel replied- And, now, I see that you've fallen in love with Miss Quijano.
-Yes, I do- Albus said
-Don't worry, Albus.We are here to help you, aren't we, Juan?
-As long as my ass doesn't get hurt…-Juan replied
-But-Albus asked- How will you help me?
-Two words:Catalina Lopez- Joan Manuel said- She's Miss Quijano's maid, and my girlfriend, so she'll help us.And, believe me that's a great advance…
-So, let's celebrate it!- Juan said- Carlos, ponnos tres vinitos.
Carlos served the three little glasses of wine. The took the glasses and Joan Manuel said:
-For love, and for our plan!.
