Eventually their conversation ebbed and sleep finally drifted over them like another blanket. When Blaise woke in the morning, he lay very still for several moments, just watching Gellert sleep. The blonde's arm was thrown casually across Blaise's waist, his long hair spread over the pillow in a way that made him want very much to kiss the other wizard awake.

For once opting not to be selfish he carefully eased himself from the bed instead. This may be the first night in over fifty years that Gellert Grindelwald had slept comfortably and well, after all. Blaise quietly dressed, pulling on black summer slacks and a green silk t-shirt before slipping on black silk socks and black running shoes. He liked the sort with no laces because laces looked stupid. Besides that they were annoying because no matter the spells he placed upon them they'd somehow come untied anyway at just the wrong time.

Once he was dressed, Blaise thought to set the trunk Bramble had packed for Gellert closer to the bed so the other wizard would be sure to see it when he woke. Before pocketing the smoky quartz wand, he used it to write a message on the trunk for Gellert to see. It simply read, Gone to Breakfast. He assumed the blonde would figure as much out on his own, but waking in a place he hardly knew may feel odd so leaving the note set Blaise's mind more at ease to leave Gellert to his sleep.

After combing his short wavy dark hair and glancing in the mirror to assure himself he looked up to his usual standard of perfection, Blaise headed down stairs. Kereston, Millie, Wolfgang, Mag and Severus were already in the great hall eating. This was a bit of a surprise as he hadn't expected to many people to gather here in the morning who weren't students or professors.

"Good morning! You're looking well," Kereston said with a smile.
Blaise nodded as he took a seat with everyone else at the staff table, but wondered if she thought the dementor thing would leave him ill today or something. Knowing she meant well and considering she was one of the few people Blaise actually liked, he refrained from inquiring.

While everyone else at the table fed themselves, Kereston held a baby acromantula on her lap, feeding it cereal with a large soup spoon. She'd gotten the thing from a dark wizarding pet shop in Knockturn alley a few weeks back when shopping with Wolfgang and Millicent who had found a parrot that screamed hexes nearly constantly. They'd named him DarkSpell, a name Blaise supposed was fitting if not particularly creative while Kereston had named her spider Reynaldo which was just flat out weird. Was that supposed to make him seem scary? The thought still made him want to roll his eyes.

"I feel great, actually," Blaise said, unable to keep the wide smile off his face. "Guess what I did last night?"
"What," Millicent asked, lowering a fork full of eggs to regard him with anticipatory interest.
"Gellert Grindelwald," Blaise nearly crowed. Like any man bragging about a particularly impressive conquest he couldn't resist.

When Kereston made a choking sound, Blaise eventually realized two things. Both were very bad. The first was that he'd somehow forgotten in his eager glee to share the extraordinary news, that along with his friends, Severus Snape also sat at the table. He just wasn't used to being at Hogwarts in the summer, and...shit, he'd just somehow spoken without thinking.

Severus's eyes looked as if they'd bug right out of his head, and Mag, who was seated at his side, made a disgusted face. Then the second shoe dropped when the sound of his mother's voice rang out from just behind him.
"Good morning everyone," Sabra Zabini called out.
Please let her not have heard that, Blaise thought, wondering if he could quick come up with a charm that would allow him to sink into the floor of the great hall. Hell on toast! He was of age so she had no right to tell him what to do. It wasn't that. It was just...well hell on toast! He didn't need everyone knowing. Just his few friends. Impressing them was all he'd wanted and now...Hell.on.toast!

"Kereston, one of these days that spider is going to grow big enough to eat you alive," Sabra Zabini said cheerfully as she swept around the table to sit across from Blaise.
"How are you, darling," she asked Blaise and Kereston made another choking sound.
Perhaps she'd not heard, Blaise thought hopefully. Snape was bad enough, though!
"I don't think the spider will be what kills her," Millicent said with a smirk. "Mind you don't choke, Boxwood."

"Great, Mum. Where's dad," Blaise spoke quickly. He was grateful for his darker complexion, because if he was blushing it may not show.

"Enjoying the Ravenclaw prefect bathroom. He'll be down soon."
Remembering how he'd told Gellert he'd shagged a girl in there, Blaise nearly choked right along with Kereston!
"Oh no he won't eat me. He's a smart baby," Kereston crooned her reply to Sabra while rubbing the spider's furry back as it kicked its legs in what appeared to be pleasure. "He doesn't eat people," Kereston went on in that sickening baby talk voice. "He eats crunchy yummy cereal. Yes he does, he's a good boy!"
For once, Blaise was glad she was going on about the bloody spider.
"Well you'd better hope he never wishes to find out if you taste like cereal,"Sabra told the small blonde.
