Chapter Text
The train stopped and Alice woke up as Narcissa, next to her, nudged her slightly.
“Alice, we're here,” she said, putting her book down. Alice groaned and moved closer to Narcissa.
“Five more minutes,” Alice mumbled.
“Al people are getting off, we need to go. We’re gonna get left behind,” Narcissa turned and grabbed Alice’s shoulders, softly removing Alice From her own shoulder. Narcissa tried not to think about her blush the whole ride there while Alice slept on her as she shook Alice awake.
“Huh?” Alice jolted up dazed.
“There you are. Now. We need to get our things and leave,” Narcissa took her hands away and got up.
“Wait, we're already here?” Alice asked, wiping her eyes.
“Yes Alice. You know it doesn’t take too long to get to Paris,” Narcissa grabbed their bags, “Now get up,” she handed Alice her bag.
Alice stood up and the two of them walked out the train, Alice yawning behind Narcissa. They entered the crowd of the rest of their classmates just as their teachers started to talk.
“Okay girls. As you all should remember today and the last day we will all be going together as a group everywhere; however, every other day you may go wherever you please, as long as you make it back to the hotel and check back in by curfew,” Professor Mcgonagall yelled. Some of the girls nodded in understanding. “Okay, now let us go to the hotel.”
They all followed their teachers, chatting amongst one another.
“Okay so we’re all going to the Eiffel Tower on the last day right?” Alice asked and Narcissa nodded. “Okay so there’s no point in going there on any of our free days,” Alice scrunched up her face, stroking her chin.
Narcissa smiled at her warmly, ‘adorable’ she thought.
“What are we doing today again?” Alice turned back to Narcissa.
“Huh?”
Alice rolled her eyes and smiled, “I said, what are we doing today?”
“Of course you don’t remember,” Narcissa supplied. Alice stuck out her tongue and it was Narcissa’s turn to roll her eyes. “We are going to the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles.”
They made it to the hotel as the two continued to talk about their plans for the trip. Each group of two got their rooms and keys and headed up the stairs still chatting amongst themselves.
“This a fancier place than I thought that they were gonna get,” Alice comments as they walk up.
“This is fancy?” Narcissa says tilting her head.
“Oh right I’m sorry miss noble house of black rich,” Alice rolls her eyes. Narcissa has the decency to look sheepish and her cheeks get redder which in turn makes Alice chuckle. “No seriously though this is actually kinda nice,” Alice starts to open the door.
“I do like the decor,” Alice opens the door and they both stop.
“Well,” Alice breaks the silence, “I guess we were one of the few rooms with only one bed,” she walks in. “Cool. Cool cool cool,” Alice smiled largely at her friend.
Narcissa only hums in response, still not having entered the room yet. Alice turns around, hiding her blush, and sets her things down.
Narcissa hesitantly walks in pursing her lips. She too puts her stuff down and they each give each other a small awkward smile before heading out the door to meet their classmates.
