Feeling the insistent presence of Kereston waiting outside, Blaise and Gellert wasted no time in getting themselves dressed for the day. Gellert put on some of his new clothes, enjoying the fact they at least fit properly, though the new style was something different to which he must grow accustomed. He figured he shouldn't complain too much, as most of the new experiences he'd had in the past two days were definitely good ones. A sidelong look at Blaise tugging on a dark green silk shirt had him smiling to himself about new experiences. They stood side by side at the mirror while combing their hair, and their reflections together in the glass made him smile again. They looked quite good together.
It occurred to Gellert then that he'd never looked at himself as a couple with any of his women. He never considered how they looked together and never cared. He was the shining star and that was that but now he found himself pleased to have someone with whom to share the spotlight.
Blaise bent to tuck the comb in his hand back into one of the trunks, then straightened, eyes scanning over the fine figure Gellert cut in his new clothes. The soft gray slacks and black button down shirt fit him well and had Blaise's thoughts headed south.
"You look good," he said, placing his hands on Gellert's narrow hips and kissing him lightly.
"Not bad for my second day out of captivity," Gellert replied, smiling against Blaise's mouth as he slipped his arms around the other man's neck to deepen the pleasing physical contact. After a final lingering kiss they drew apart with similar sighs of regret. Blaise opened the door and scowled at Kereston, who ignoring the expression gave them both a bright smile.
"Sorry to be a bother, but I'm just the messenger," the small blonde said, unabashed.
"I suppose that's true," Gellert agreed reluctantly as the three headed up toward the Great Hall.
"So do tell. What have the two of you been up to other than one another," Kereston asked, a small amused smile playing around her mouth as she gave them a side long look of curiosity.
"Well, let's see," Gellert said thoughtfully.
"We studied the sorting hat and talked it into sharing all of its secrets with us."
"Now that's impressive," Kereston said.
"Gellert was sorted into Slytherin," Blaise announced, with his usual slow lazy grin.
"We were warned by the hat of a breech of Hogwarts security, but I tuned it out as we happened to be busy at the time," Gellert added.
This time it was his turn to have a small smile playing over his lips.
"We were shagging," Blaise clarified happily.
"On the staff table!"
"NO," Kereston squealed, stopping in her tracks.
"That's...BLOODY AWESOME!"
She threw back her head of long blonde curls and laughed.
"I'm so bloody jealous," she admitted, still laughing happily.
"It was one of my more brilliant ideas rather," Gellert said with feigned modesty.
"It turned out the security breech was none other than Regulus Black, alive if vampiric," Blaise added.
"But I'm sure it's a secret so don't tell too many people. He was talking to Millie and Wolfgang last night at dinner, so he'll probably be working with us."
"Who's Regulus Black," Kereston asked.
"He's related to Bellatrix I suppose?"
Blaise nodded.
"I think a cousin or something. He was happily following Voldemort until said dark lord nearly killed his elf friend and they discovered he, Voldemort, not the elf, had a Horcrux."
Kereston's mouth dropped and her eyes rounded in an expression of horrified dismay.
"Can the man get anymore monstrous?"
"I think so. Your headmaster believes there may be around seven Horcruxes," Gellert replied, quirking his brows at Kereston.
"You're kidding," she groaned.
"Who does that?"
"What does that is more likely," Blaise suggested dryly.
"I doubt he's even human now if he ever was."
Gellert's amusing expression had faded to a thoughtful frown as they spoke.
"He could certainly be more unstable as well as more difficult to predict," he said gravely.
Then he flashed a careless grin as he tossed back his long blonde hair.
"It's a good thing we're up for the challenge."
"We are," Blaise asked, and Gellert's smile widened.
"Of course we are!"
Pausing outside the great hall, Gellert reached into one of the front pockets of his new gray slacks.
"Last night we began work on the magical dispersing amulets. We made ourselves one, then got three others done before retiring for the evening. Here is one for you."
He withdrew a silver pendant and passed it over to an eager Kereston.
"Oh thank you!"
She looked at it before slipping it on the chain she already had around her neck which held a crystal wand pendant from Mag.
"It's a pentacle. Nice and magical."
"Yes I thought you may like that one. Mag brought us all manner of various shapes and symbols," Gellert said and Kereston thanked them again as they headed into breakfast.
Before they sat down, Gellert presented Mag with a pendant in the shape of a small feather. As she was helping to get their supplies, it was fitting she got one of the first completed products. Blaise was a little surprised when Gellert gave the final pendant they'd finished to Flitwick. It was in the shape of a little broom.
"Why thank you," Filius said, obviously surprised as well and pleased.
The little professor sat studying the pendant, the plate of breakfast on the table before him momentarily forgotten.
"Some very advanced work went into this," he complimented.
"Which of you made it?"
"Both of us, actually," Blaise said."I came up with the arrangement and application, but I'd only made one previously. Gellert and I worked on these together last night after I showed him what I'd done."
"Now that's something," Filius complimented sincerely.
"It isn't easy for two people to lay enchantments on a single object together. It takes a great amount of skill and precision. When styles differ the magic doesn't always mesh, and the two of you mesh very well. Your styles are difficult to tell apart."
Blaise thought that just may have been the biggest compliment he'd ever gotten aside from those from Gellert himself. Professor Flitwick had just compared his style of magic to that of Gellert Grindelwald! For some reason, Gellert was looking just as pleased as Blaise felt, and that made the compliment somehow even better.
"Thank you," Gellert told Filius.
"I have personally never worked with anyone else when making enchanted items so seeing how natural the process went with Blaise was satisfying."
"I never have either," Blaise said.
He and Gellert spent a few seconds simply smiling into one another's eyes before the abrasive voice of Millicent Bulstrode broke annoyingly into the moment they were attempting to have.
"Hey Prats! Where's my amulet thing?"
"You will get it today if Blaise and I are allowed a spare hour or two to work on them," Gellert said, voice obviously straining to hold a polite tone.
"That's good, considering Wolfgang and I were a big part of getting you out of Nurmengard," Millicent replied.
"We want ours today."
"Well we're supposed to work on defense stuff today too," Kereston pointed out, turning to Millicent.
"Fine," Millicent grumped.
"We can work on defense first, then they can make our amulets. I want some protection stat."
"I can see why," Gellert muttered through gritted teeth, and Blaise laughed.
"We won't go home until evening, so you'll have plenty of time to get whatever you need done before that," Sabra soothed, smiling over at Blaise and Gellert.
Gellert felt himself relaxing and his annoyance with the Millicent troll fading as he smiled back at Blaise's mother.
"We can use the room of requirement for our defense practice," Filius said and as they ate, Blaise explained to Gellert just what a room of requirement was.
