The Arrangement Chapter 2
"Malfoy!"
"Ahh, what Granger?", she had to just pull away my headphones and yell in my ear.
"Wanna drink?"
"I think I'll pass."
"More for me, I'll take a Whiskey." When the stewardess passed she leaned over to me, "Can't be much different from Firewhiskey."
I rolled my eyes and went back to my music. Finally I got bored and turned off my CD Player and turned to Granger.
"How many have you had?"
"1."
"Do you drink a lot?"
"No."
That's when I remembered the envelope her father gave me. "Granger, you're father gave me this. We gotta open it."
She took it out of my hands and opened it. "Oh my gosh."
"What? What is it?"
"They reserved us the Imperial Suite at the Ritz Paris."
"Is that expensive?"
"The Ritz Paris is one of the Top Ten Most Expensive Hotels. The Imperial Suite is the most expensive suite. Wow. I can't believe they did this."
"What do you expect? You're a Malfoy now Granger, you only deserve the best."
Honestly she surprises me, does she not realize that with the money my family has she can have what ever she wants? I mean, sure I treated her horrible in school, but honestly with my kind of money who wouldn't marry me. I already told her she can have her own rooms and we don't have be together all the time. She acts like it's some big chore to marry me, she could have everything she wants. I pulled out a Laptop and began to type. I bet your wondering why I now know about so many muggle things, I had to stay with Granger for the first 2 and a half months then we switch and she moved to the Manor. Needless to say, I became quite acquainted with many muggle tools. The laptop was the first thing I ever bought in a muggle shop. I'm quite proud of it. It has been the source of many of my writings. I don't believe anyone knows about my writing, I've been doing it for so long, I can't even remember when I started.
I got to one page writing when I felt someone staring at me. I look over at Granger and she's looking at me.
"What?"
"I didn't know that you wrote." I quickly saved my work and closed my laptop. "It's very good. Is it from life?"
"I really don't want to talk about it."
"Fine.", ah yes, her snooty attitude is back.
We sat in silence until we landed, then we got into a taxi and rode to The Ritz Paris.
"Bonjour, peux je vous aide?" (Hello, can I help you?)
"Oui, nous avons des réservations sous Malfoy." (Yes, we have reservations under Malfoy.)
"Oui monsieur." (Yes sir.), she rang a bell and a man with a cart like thing came up to us. "Après-midi, Je suis Jacob, vous chasseur, permettez-moi de charger vos sacs et nous nous dirigerons à votre
pièce." (Afternoon, I am Jacob, you bellboy, allow me to load your bags and we'll head to your room.) We headed to the elevator. "Monsieur Malfoy, vous êtes sur le septième plancher. Voici vos clefs." (Mr. Malfoy, you're on the 7th floor. Here are your keys.) I took the pieces of plastic and followed Jacob. I leaned toward Granger. "What in bloody hell are these?"
"When did you learn French?", she asked in a snooty tone.
"My mum.", I said.
"Keys. I'll show you how to use them."
These things don't look like any key I've ever seen. I started playing with them seeing if they would bend when Granger took them out of my hand and glared at me like my mum used to do when I was being bad in public. She turned and looked straight ahead walking and I stuck my tongue out at her like I did my mum. She in turn hit me in the shoulder, just like my mum. I was completely weirded out. Did Granger have eyes in the back of her head? Or was she hitting me for no reason?
"Ici nous sommes Monsieur et Mme. Appréciez votre sejour." (Here we are Mr. and Mrs. Enjoy your stay.)
"Malfoy pay attention.", she slid the 'key' in a hole above the plastic she pulled it out. The door made a clicking sound and she opened it. "See you have to make sure the arrow points to the door and that it's face up."
"I got it."
We walked in and were both shocked at the beauty. Hermione flopped down on the bed and that's when it hit me.
"Granger I'm not sleeping on the couch."
"What?"
"There's only one bed."
"Merlin."
"I repeat. I'm not sleeping on the couch."
"Well you're not sleeping with me."
"Then you get the couch."
"I'm not sleeping on the couch! You can sleep on the floor."
"For Merlin's Sake Granger! We'll just share the bed, you can put pillows between us whatever."
"Malfoy!"
"What, if you don't like it you can sleep on the floor."
"You are the most annoying git to ever grace this planet."
"Aww, I love you too.", I rolled my eyes at her behavior. I searched my laptop bag for my cords. "Granger, do you know where I can hook up to the internet?"
She took my cords out of my hand and pulled them into the phone. And then grabbed her book and sat down. I booted up my laptop and started looking for things for us to do in Paris. The Louvre as many times that I've been to Paris I've never been there. My parents weren't into art much and it was my mother's idea for me to learn French as well as learn to dance but that's a different story.
"Hey Granger?"
"Bloody Hell Malfoy! What do you want?"
"I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the Louvre but nevermind!", I yelled.
Honestly does she have to be so bloody difficult. It's not liked I asked her to hex herself.
"The Louvre?", she asked.
"Yes, the Louvre, it's a museum. It has the Mona Lisa in it."
"You like art?", she said, as if it were the most ridiculous thing she'd ever heard.
"Yes, I like art. Why do you act so surprised Granger?"
"You don't seem to be an Artsy kind of person.", she said in her know-it-all tone.
"Do you want to go or not?", I said.
"When does it open?"
"I'm not sure. I'll call the front desk." I unplugged my laptop and called the front desk. "Bonjour, c'est Monsieur Malfoy. Pouvez-vous me dire quand le Louvre s'ouvre demain?" (Hello, this is Mister Malfoy. Can you tell me when the Louvre opens tomorrow?)
"Oui, Monsieur Malfoy qu'il s'ouvre à neuf le matin." (Yes, Mister Malfoy it opens at nine in the morning."
"Merci." (Thank you.) I hung up. "9 in the morning. Do you want to go?"
"Sure.", she said bored.
"Granger, if you don't want to go then tell me."
"I'll go."
"Then quit acting so bloody bored."
"Well excuse me but I was just forced to marry the man I have despised since I first arrived at Hogwarts!"
"You act as if this is a thrill to me. I didn't want to marry you!"
"Oh of course not, you wanted to go make pug faced babies with Pansy."
I shuttered at that thought and she giggled. "Are you trying to make me sick? I wouldn't touch her if she was the last person on Earth."
"Not even the last?"
"Not even the last. I'd even marry you before her."
"Well you've already done that."
"Not by choice you see. Well I'm tired I think I'm going to turn in." I went to the bathroom to change into some pants and went I came out Granger was asleep with her book in her hand. I knew it was a boring book. I shoved her a little and she jumped.
"What Malfoy?"
"You're falling asleep go to bed."
I heard her grumbling to herself but I just rolled over and started to go to sleep. Right before I was completely asleep I felt something pushing against me. I looked and Granger was shoving pillow after pillow between us. She then went and set the alarm.
"Night Muddy.", I whispered when she finally laid down. In response she kicked me.
