"We can use tufts from the bath towels to make the bugs," Gellert said, and dragged himself from the bed with a regretful sigh.
He didn't bother to get dressed as he languidly padded across to the bathroom. After about half a minute, he was back with several long threads on the palm of his hand. Blaise sprawled naked on the bed watching as Gellert approached.
"All we have to do is enchant these with listening charms, then link each of them to Snape's wand or whatever he wants to use when he activates them to eaves drop. I know a very good amplifying charm to add to the eavesdropping charm that will make it even better."

"Good," Blaise said, pushing himself up to a sitting position.
"Show me."
They had the handful of threads that Gellert tugged from the bath towels enchanted with listening charms in less than two hours.
"Now we'll need to link them to whatever Snape wants to use to activate them, and after that we'll just meld them with the fabric of our targets robes," Gellert said.
Blaise smiled, liking to think of Death Eaters as targets. It made him feel more powerful somehow while making them seem less threatening. Were he in the company of anyone other than Gellert, he would not have been as willing to allow himself such a feeling of superior security when it came to going directly up against Voldemort's own.
"I suppose we'd better get dressed then," he said with a regretful sigh.
Gellert's lips twitched and his eyes sparkled merrily.
"Why? Don't you think Snape would enjoy seeing us naked? I'd just love to see his face contort!"
Blaise snickered.
"But this drafty castle won't be so amusing for your beautiful balls when they get chilled," he pointed out, struggling not to reach out and caress the balls in question.
If he did, Blaise knew they'd not leave the room for hours and he wouldn't care. Everyone else wanting them to be productive in the fight against Voldemort would certainly care, though...a lot. They'd complain and make it difficult for he and Gellert and things of late were already difficult enough.
Gellert heaved a sigh as he reached for his clothes.
"Alright. I'll get dressed...If only for my beautiful balls!"
As he pulled on his own clothes, Blaise had to admit silently to himself, that the idea of running around Hogwarts naked with Gellert under disillusionment did sound like fun. Gellert certainly had loosened him up. It was just his magic. Gellert's wild fun personality was contagious, and Blaise had a particular susceptibility to it in particular. Once the two were dressed they cast disillusionment on themselves, then a silencing charm on their shoes.
Blaise recalled how impressed his friends and family were that he was able to learn the disillusionment charm from Gellert in less than a week. None of them could manage it, but Blaise thought it was simple enough. It was all in the way you understood the charms that connected like a chain of logic that made it what it was. Of course Gellert wasn't surprised that Blaise could manage it, and in fact had expected as much.
"I've got the threads," Gellert said.
"Are we ready?"
"Yes."
Blaise spoke rather than nodding as Gellert couldn't see him. It was strange not being able to look at one another but necessary, and Blaise supposed he'd grow accustomed to it. As they left the room, Blaise was careful to close the door very softly behind them so the sound wouldn't draw attention if any professors happened to be close as they were in the staff wing.
As they started out, he grasped Gellert's hand so they wouldn't get separated. If they did, calling out to one another would rather defeat the point of being invisible. They'd need to work up a linking charm so they could see one another when under disillusionment, Blaise thought as they walked toward the dungeons. It ought to be simple enough. Perhaps they could even work on it today if there was time.
As they passed the Great Hall, two Gryffindor girls skipped out ahead of them. Gellert gave Blaise's hand a squeeze, then tugged him forward. Though Blaise couldn't see what he did, one of the girls gave a surprised squeal and whirled around.
"Hey," she cried.
"There's no one there!"
"That's right," the other girl agreed, looking baffled.
"There isn't. What ever is the matter?"
"Someone tugged my hair," the first girl declared.
"Well where are they," her friend asked and the first girl scowled.
"That's just it! There isn't anyone around, but I swear someone tugged my hair...rather hard I might add!"
"Perhaps it was Peeves," her friend said, and Blaise smirked as it had obviously been Gellert.
As Gellert and Blaise passed them, the second girl gasped.
"What," the first asked eagerly.
"Someone patted my cheek," the second said in a near whisper.
Disconcerted, she peered around her.
"I don't think it felt like Peeves!"
"Do you know what Peeves feels like," the first girl asked.
Gellert and Blaise rounded a corner then, and the two Gryffindor girls were out of sight. For the first time, probably ever, Blaise was actually having fun at Hogwarts!
Luckily Snape was alone in his office. When Blaise knocked, he opened the door at once, peering around with an annoyed scowl when he saw no one there. Blaise pushed him aside so that he and Gellert could hurry in. Once they were inside, Blaise softly closed the door, then dropped his disillusionment charm at the same time as Gellert.
"Did you miss us," Gellert asked with an amused smirk.
"Dreadfully," Snape replied dryly.
"What do you want? I hope you were careful on the way here. You know it is important that no one suspects...anything."
Gellert sighed.
"I'm bored. Lets go back to when you were asking what we wanted and take it from there. We made something for you to spy whenever you like on your new and unwanted professors. We just need to know what you'd like it linked to in order to activate it. It's auditory spying at this point. Eavesdropping," he elaborated.
"If you require visuals as well, that's a bit more tricky and though we could pull it off, your dark lord could potentially detect it if they were in his presence and he happened to be looking for anything untoward. Considering his level of carelessness and insanity the event seems unlikely but we opted to play it safe."
"Don't under estimate the dark lord," Severus warned, giving the blonde an exasperated frown.
Gellert frowned back.
"I think you may be forgetting who I am."
He knew he shouldn't make waves, but sometimes all the incompetence and lack of respect around him from most everyone but Blaise, his parents and Kereston just became too much, especially when he was forced to work within such outrageously limited confines. They all complained, rightfully so, about the lack of action from their ministry, then did the same themselves. Granted the Ministry wanted to pull the wool over its own eyes out of rampant stupidity and fear while this group merely chose to be too cautious, only taking minimal actions that mostly involved defense because a prophecy dictated that an incompetent boy had to do the actual work.
"I remember exactly who you are," Severus replied coldly.
"A brilliant wizard who felt himself above caution and got put down for it. And can he learn from his mistakes to avoid it happening again? No, because he has no idea how he was taken down in the first place."
"I know that your dark lord did not do it, and as I'm not trying to come out and announce my presence to the wizarding world that's enough right now," Gellert shot back.
"He's taken over your ministry. If you were smart, you'd all use the same tactics or harder ones to reclaim it. Instead you wait about for an incompetent child to somehow..."
"I agree with the logic of everything you're saying," Severus cut in, suddenly looking tired.
"It isn't that simple, though. He's always one step ahead. We try to take it back by imperioing Ministry officials and if he's already got them they're activated to kill us or worse, take us to him. If those of us who are actually taking action are taken out, he'll win. In this case, it is better to allow the prophecy to play out. He'll hang himself on Potter's shoelaces or however it works out and his regime will topple with his death."
Gellert shrugged.
"If you say so. I really don't care one way or the other."
"Stop being a prat," Severus said.
"Does it matter what I use to activate the eavesdropping?"
"It shouldn't," Gellert replied.
"How about a glass? I can hold it up to my ear when I want to listen in on what they're saying and the voices won't carry in case anyone dares to eavesdrop outside of my own door."
"Sounds good," Blaise said, nodding.
He was glad the conversation had gotten back to the topic at hand. If Snape continued to make snarky comments to Gellert he'd have to step in and defend him, which would likely make Snape more difficult about their weekend visits.
Severus stood and went over to a cabinet, returning with a tall glass. He presented it wordlessly to Gellert.
"We'll link the threads to the glass then we need to attach them to the robes of the professors in question. We will need to be shown where their rooms are," Gellert said.
"Dinner is at six. That is in five more hours. If the threads will be linked to the glass by then, I can come to you at six and show you to their chambers while they are having dinner in the Great Hall," Severus said.
"That's fine," Blaise said.
The two left and didn't speak until they were back in their room. Nothing eventful or interesting happened on the way there and they walked with clasped hands so they remained together to arrive at the room at the same time. This ensured the door wouldn't have to invisibly open and shut more than once. Before they entered, they made certain no one was around. As soon as the door was closed behind them they dropped the disillusionment charms.
"I don't like Headmaster Snape at all," Gellert complained, making a face.
"I doubt he does either," Blaise said with a grin.
"The Potter prophecy does sound insane, but I think that's the point. It takes something that ridiculous to get rid of this bastard. Some fluke he won't see coming I guess. Perhaps it's in part due to the Horcruxes. We really don't know what one gains from doing that, but his disintegrating sanity certainly shows what one loses. His gains must be giving him an edge currently that whatever we'd do may not be enough to combat. Like figurative mental eyes in the back of his head or something..."
He flopped onto the bed and Gellert joined him, glass in hand.
"It's hard to imagine, but perhaps so," he said.
They had the threads linked to the glass in less than an hour, and spent the rest of the time working on a charm of revealing that would link to them and show them to one another when under disillusionment. The charm would be performed once the disillusionment was in place. When Severus arrived at six, they got to try it out. They could see one another, but he could not see them, so it worked perfectly.
"I'll keep a hold of your arm until we arrive at their rooms," Blaise told Snape.
"Once we arrive, you can go, and we'll take it from there."
Snape gave them an uneasy frown.
"Just get in and out fast," he ordered.
"If either of them returns and finds you, there could be trouble for me which is the last thing I need right now."
Gellert sighed.
"Or I could simply obliviate them," he said in a bored tone.
"Which I will. It won't be as if they will even be able to see us. That means their precious dark lord can't take our images from their minds even if he is able to see they were tampered with."
Severus sighed and nodded.
"Well at least you're thinking. Just try to make sure you're out before they return, though and you won't have to."
Gellert smirked.
"And where's the fun in that?"
