mikael harper, parvati patil

Who: Parvati Patil and Mikael Harper
What: The 'happy' couple talk. And one tries not to murder the other.
Where: Charing Cross Station
When: Thursday June 20th
Rating: E
Status: Closed/Complete

Parvati had not been lying when she said she was ready for an arranged marriage. It was just a different type she had expected. She had hoped her parents would beat the Ministry in finding her somebody, but she realised too late she had been way too picky. So now she was stuck with a guy who took longer doing his hair than she did. He was grouchy and egotistical. The worst part was that her parents would die when they found out. Their dreams of a nice Indian wedding would be forever squashed.

To say she was angry was an understatement. In retrospect Parvati had not accepted the announcement as gracefully as she could have. Mikael was probably taking that better than her. Still, she was disappointed. He brought out the worst in her. She just wanted to annoy him every time they spoke. Not to mention he had called her a girly girl.

After takling the longest shower in history to calm down, Parvati found herself calmed down enough to face her-she couldn't even really think the word. She threw on a random outfit and hurried to Charing Cross Station, not looking forward to dinner at all.

Mikael actually laughed and shook his head.

"I know that from somewhere. Have you ever had old ladies shove pictures of their wonderful daughters into your face? I used to tell them all kinds of bullshit to get them off my neck. Always worked so far," He smirked, taking another drink.

"Well, I am sure to your utter disappointment I have to tell you that I like shopping. Let's see. I have a good and well paid job, I can be nice though I am definitely not Indian or muggle. I have plenty of family, but believe me, you don't want to meet them. Think they can overlook that tiny little details?"

"They're not going to have a choice, are they? They might have been able to look over the Indian bit, but the muggle is one my parents really like. I think they're afraid since they aren't familiar with the wizarding world. I'm not even allowed to do magic at home." Parvati smirked and continued to play with her drink.

"You have no idea how disappointed I am that you enjoy shopping. That means using you as a packmule is out of the picture."

	"Well, we'll just keep that up then. No magic or wizarding stuff when your parents are near. They can at least pretend I am muggle then," Mikael suggested, finishing his glass of wine. "You would've really enjoyed that, wouldn't you? If it helps you somehow, normally my family has their stuff delivered and if that isn't enough I can always buy you a packmule."

"The fun part is where I watch you suffer." Despite the words, Parvati found herself smiling. She would find some other way to make him suffer. Like wake him up early every day. "And you don't need to act a muggle for my parents. They'll never be able to pretend you're one when they already know what the Ministry is doing. Speaking of which... We don't really have to do this, do we?"

"I'm suffering every morning when I am trying to tame my hair," Mikael resisted the urge to stick out his tongue.

"Fear we do. I checked all the documents and whatnot and what they are doing is completely legal. Not one tiny way out, Kingsley's made sure of that. Otherwise I'd be in court arguing this already, but alas," He shrugged a little helplessly, motioning for the waiter to bring him another glass of wine.

Parvati sighed, drinking more of the daiquiri fast enough to give her a slight brain freeze. "I really don't like this." So running away was not an option. She'd just become forced into another couple when she was caught. Or sent straight to Azkaban.

"I guess you're going to be my-my..." Parvati frowned. "I can't say it. Oh well. Think your mother will at least let me have control over the wedding? I'm not wearing white."

"No one of us really likes this, I guess we'll just have to try and make the best out of it." Mikael mumbled, thanking the waiter when he brought over the wine.

"Definitely. She'll be worshipping you anyway and try to fulfil your every wish for the wedding, so no worries. I think she's just so happy that I am getting married at all that she wants to be involved."

	"See, now that you've said it like that I have to wonder if you're either gay or some kind of party boy. Or maybe both." Parvati teased, finishing her daiquiri and ordering another while the waiter was still near. So much for dinner. She wasn't hungry anyways. "You realise you're doomed, right? I'm going to make your life hell." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Bisexual and a party boy," Mikael replied cheerfully, finally relaxing more in his chair. "Would've expected nothing less of you," He added, still smiling. Putting his glass back down he frowned lightly. "You hungry? Totally forgot about that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Figures." Parvati smirked, rolling her eyes. She was content enough with her drink so she simply shrugged. "I'm not really hungry. Feel free to order whatever you want, but I only came here to talk. At least we have a week or so to plan the wedding. By we I mean me and your mother. Unless you have some sort of input." Getting an idea, Parvati smirked. "I can not wait until you see what you're wearing for the wedding." She was already plotting.

	"No, I'm not really hungry either. For once I actually got a lunch break today," Mikael shrugged. "Week should do, yes. No input from my side although we should go and buy rings together, I think." Raising an eyebrow Mikael frowned. Parvati's smirk was unsettling. "What? I thought I'd wear a tux or something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh no, you are most certainly not wearing a tux. I will get the wedding my parents wanted. Even if the groom isn't up to par." Parvati's smirk was wide as she traced the rip of her cup with her fingernail. She would have fun with this. "I suppose we should buy rings together. I'll also have to take you somewhere for your outfit so they can take your measurements."

	Now this really wasn't good. At all. "Well, if it'll make your parents happy," Mikael finally replied, although a bit cautiously. "Will you at least tell me what this...whatever I have to wear looks like beforehand or will it be a wonderful wedding surprise?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If making all guys nervous was as satisfying as making Mikael nervous then Parvati would have had a different attitude earlier in life. She smiled, shaking her head. "I suppose it would be fair to let you see it beforehand. If you're well behaved then I may just let you."

She may just like this wedding after all. The marriage she would hate, but the wedding would be worth it.

	"I am always well behaved," Mikael pouted, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "And you'd know that I am well behaved if you'd know me and would stop seeing me through this tainted veil of hate. Well...okay, I am not always well behaved, but most of the times."

	divinepatil 2008-07-04 10:28 am UTC (link)
	"'Tainted veil of hate'? I don't hate you. I just don't like you. You are aggravating and too full of yourself. It's not normal." Parvati smiled as even now she was trying to figure out the best colour shwerwani for him. "You know, I think this wedding is going to be the best ever." She smirked a little, now happy for the first time since getting the owl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mikael_harper 2008-07-04 10:32 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, that's really reassuring to know. dislike is just so much better than hate," Mikael rolled his eyes. "Like I said, you don't know me at all. I think you have to learn to distinguish between a public mask and reality." He added calmly, somewhat relieved that she was smiling. "Nothing less than the best for you."

	divinepatil 2008-07-04 10:53 am UTC (link)
	"Well, it looks like we'll have more than enough time to learn about each other. By the way, I am rather girly and you had better get used to it." Parvati smiled, glad she was feeling a little more at ease with the situation. If she thought only of the the details and not the fact that she was going to be spending her life with an egoist then she was okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You are, but you are not a common girly girl. You've proved to be more of a challenge than I thought you'd be. And no, this is not an insult but a compliment," He added with a smirk, finishing his drink.

"So anything else you'd like to talk about? Guess we have to consider some post wedding stuff as well. My place is big enough for two, but if you'd like to find something else we can."

Parvati fought back a blush and deliberately stared at the table."Do we have to talk about that?" Parvati frowned, pouting a little as she sipped on her drink. The actual marriage would be horrible! Parvati would miss living with her family. Though Padma would have her own husband soon. "I'd rather find a new place. At least two bedrooms." She did not want to think of what had happened in his place.

	"We'll have to talk about it sooner or later, so now is as good a time as any," Mikael sighed. He really loved his apartment, giving it up would be hard. "Kay, I'll ask my families estate agent to find a few properties for us to look at over the weekend. Any preferred district it should be in?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Not really. I suppose you would like to be close to your family though, right? I need to be near my boutique though or at least short traveling distance." She wasn't sure how close Mikael was to his family, but she thought it best for her to be away from her own family.

"I still can not believe this is happening. Is there anything we have to think about right now?"

	mikael_harper 2008-07-04 11:17 am UTC (link)
	"My family is in Southampton," Mikael pointed out. "No worries, I can floo over whenever I want. We'll get something close to your boutique." He decided, lacking real enthusiasm for it though. He liked living in Chelsea and it had taken ages to get the apartment exactly the way he wanted. Well, he'd have to live with it. "Seems totally surreal, doesn't it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	divinepatil 2008-07-04 11:21 am UTC (link)
	"Surreal is definitely one word for it." Horrible was another. Parvati picked the strawberry off the rim of her cup and nibbled on it. "You don't have to sound so horrified at the thought of leaving your place you know. If you really want to stay there I suppose we could. I would just have to find some way to work." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mikael_harper 2008-07-04 11:23 am UTC (link)
	"I don't sound horrified," Mikael protested, playing absently-minded with the napkin on the table. "It's okay. We are forced to marry, so we can at least make this bearable. That includes finding a place that is close to your work." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
