"So tell me about your home," Gellert said once he and Blaise finally managed to stop laughing.
"It will be nice to know what to expect when we go there tomorrow."
"I think it's nice," Blaise answered thoughtfully.
"It has two stories plus an attic and a heated swimming pool in the basement. Mother has a conservatory where she grows all her prized poisonous plants, and of course we have a decent library. Aside from my bedroom, my parents bedroom and Bramble's bedroom, we have four guest rooms, so we'll be able to comfortably accommodate family when they arrive.
Blaise's description of his home sounded as pleasant as Gellert expected it to and it suited his idea of the sort of home in which Blaise would live. It was also up to Gellert's own standards, but that was no surprise as the Zabinis obviously lived well. The only thing that surprised him was the concept of a swimming pool inside of a manor.
"Is this inside swimming pool a new concept for a home," he wondered, and Blaise smiled, shaking his head.
"No."
Blaise thought again how much must have changed while Gellert was held in Nurmengard.
"I wanted the pool so I could work out and keep in shape all year round, and it is expensive but not unheard of for those with wealth. Mum and Dad were kind enough to humor me when I wanted one."
He gave Gellert a lazy grin as he pictured the two of them swimming together.
"It's always warm and I think you'll like it a lot. I've missed having my daily swim."
"Oh, Gellert...Blaise, here are the pendants you wanted for those enchantments," Mag said.
As she spoke, she slid a small green cloth bag down the table toward them. It made a slight chinking sound as it stopped just above Blaise's plate.
"Bramble already paid me," she added.
"There are twenty pendants in there. I didn't know how many you needed and figured a few extras wouldn't hurt anyway. If someone else comes along who needs one or if you make a mistake that you can't undo on one of them it won't be a problem."
Blaise nodded and scooped up the bag.
"Thanks. That's great."
He opened the bag to see a variety of silver pendants, ranging from twenty to twenty-five millimeters in size. Some were shaped like mundane objects such as little goblets or cauldrons while others were shaped like animals and magical creatures.
"I figured it may attract less notice if they all looked different," Mag explained, and he nodded.
"Good thinking."
After letting Gellert have a look he pocketed the bag of pendants and returned to his meal. When he and Gellert eventually stood to retire to the Slytherin boy's dorm, Professor Flitwick also rose and approached them.
"Tomorrow morning before the two of you leave, I will make sure you have a portkey into Hogwarts for the defense lessons. We don't want to risk either of you being seen walking across the grounds too frequently just in case. I doubt anyone would ever consider such a youthful young man as yourself to be the actual Gellert Grindelwald, but one can never be too safe," he concluded with a small amused smile at Gellert.
"That's a good idea. Thank you," Gellert smiled back at the small man. He and Blaise left the Great Hall then and wasted no time in returning to their dorm room.
Perhaps because they were too full to shag, or perhaps to avoid people beginning to complain about a perceived lack of productivity on their part even though they'd made great achievements with the sorting hat, Blaise and Gellert decided to get to work on making the amulets that unraveled magic around their wearer.
"As this sort of little treasure helped to get me out of Nurmengard, I must confess to having a particular fondness for the concept," Gellert said with a smile as he dumped the bag of silver pendants out on the bed between them.
Still quite pleased that it was his idea that helped to free Gellert, Blaise gave the blonde one of his slow lazy grins.
"Which of these will you want for your own. We may as well make ourselves one first," he said.
Gellert began thoughtfully sifting through the pile. At last he chose a dark silver charm of a flying seagull.
"I like this one."
"Suits you," Blaise said with a nod.
He'd already chosen a small silver web for his pendant. He supposed Mag assumed he would like it for himself or one of his family members. Retrieving the notebook in which he'd jotted down notes on the sorting hat earlier, he quickly wrote out a list of the charms he'd used to make the pendant Bramble had worn to free Gellert. He then jotted down notes on how he combined them.
"Here you are," he said, passing it over to Gellert.
"Here's exactly how I made the pendant Bramble has. It took me a few hours, so if everyone thinks they'll all have one by tomorrow, it's unfortunate."
Gellert laughed.
Blaise never expected to be sharing his trade secrets with anyone, but he'd likewise never expected to have the opportunity to share them with Gellert Grindelwald. Of course Gellert would be sharing some of his own as well, and Blaise found himself very much looking forward to that. First they'd have to get all these pendants done, though, before they could go on to anything else on their project list. After they each completed their own magic unraveling pendant, Blaise had an idea.
"Lets see if we can work faster if we do it together on the same pendant. If it doesn't work, it's no harm done, and if it does, we will finish faster and be able to move on to something else. I love making things, but creating ten of the same thing over and over will get tedious fast."
Gellert nodded eagerly.
"For sure!"
As it turned out, the two of them working together on one pendant made things at least four times faster. They finished one pendant every forty-five minutes and had three more made before finally turning in for the night. Though enchantments could be exhausting, the two had plenty of energy for one another as it turned out. As soon as the lights were off and their clothes shed, Blaise felt his hunger for Gellert consuming him in the most delicious of ways. He ached for full body skin to skin contact and to taste Gellert's mouth on his own.
""Need you," he said between heated kisses and Gellert groaned his agreement as he pressed their bodies closer. The night was fittingly long and morning came far too soon for two young wizards who hadn't gotten nearly enough sleep. Their unwanted alarm clock came in the form of banging on the dormroom door.
"What? No," Blaise groaned, and the knock came again.
"Good Morning! Your Mum sent me up to wake you. She wants you two to come down to breakfast so we can all talk about the defense lessons."
The voice on the other side of the door belonged to Kereston Boxwood. She was a good egg, but talked far too much for first thing in the morning.
"Those defense lessons were my idea, you know. I suggested Gellert, Wolfgang and Flitwick combine some tactics because you never know what we may need to be kept safe from these days."
"Right now you need to be kept safe from me," Blaise grumbled.
"Now go away. We'll be down eventually."
"Your Mum wants you down now, and I'm not brave enough to face her without you," Kereston said, unpreturbed.
Blaise sighed and rolled out of bed.
"Fine. We're coming."
"I'll wait," Kereston said.
Her obviously suspicious tone said clearly that she did not trust them to come down in a timely manner unless she did.
Laughing, Gellert threw a pillow at the door.
