They parted from Romeo for the evening after several more drinks. Romeo promised to write as soon as he had news and he made them promise to meet him for lunch again before they left Spain.
Blaise and Gellert got directly into the shower upon reaching their hotel room. They wanted to wash off any poorfume and Muggle germs they may have acquired during the day's too frequent rides on the trams and subways.
In the shower, they washed one another without saying much, merely allowing the soap, warm water and one another's hands to wash away the physical and emotional filth of the day.
"How long do you think we'll remain in Spain," Blaise asked idly, remembering Romeo wanted to meet again for lunch before they left.
"That is, do you know of anything particularly interesting that we should explore while we're here?"
Gellert shrugged.
"I know little of the place actually. I can't say I'm overly impressed yet, but perhaps we should explore a bit more before deciding."
Blaise nodded.
"Sure. Why not?"
"I swear though," he added with a dry chuckle."One more off move from Spanish Aurors and we're out."
"Certainly," Gellert agreed with a nod.
Once out of the shower, drying one another off turned into tantalizing touches and caresses that led them quickly to the bed. They were a bit drunk, but not too drunk to savor one another's bodies.
Afterward they lay in a spent tangle on the bed, too content to move.
"What will you do if Romeo writes with unpleasant news regarding the earth mage," Blaise asked drowsily after a bit.
"Clarify," Gellert requested, just as sleepily.
"Ummm. If they don't release him or if they enforced some sort of penalty that stunted his magic? Hell I don't know."
Gellert sighed. After a few seconds of thought he answered.
"I suppose I'd speak to the parents about bringing in the Italian Cabal to help."
Blaise smiled, enjoying Gellert's use of the parents rather than specifying them as just Blaise's parents. It signified Gellert's connection to them and that was nice. Very nice in fact. He was close to Blaise's family as well as to him and that somehow made the bond they'd formed all the stronger.
"Did you fear that I would become...how do they say these days, some sort of loose canon," Gellert asked and Blaise shook his head.
"No. I know you wouldn't endanger what we have or put yourself at risk by drawing the attention of any wizarding government. I just thought you'd do something to try to help, because it's in your nature to do so for such a cause if you can."
Gellert sighed.
"Yes. If I can, but I won't put anyone in danger for it. I was never one to do that and especially not now."
Before they could speak more on that or anything else for that matter, they fell asleep.
They woke in the morning only mildly hung over and a good solid shagging took care of most of that.
"You're the only person I've ever hungover shagged, but damn it feels good," Blaise said, still inside of Gellert, spent and sprawled across the blonde's body.
"Same," Gellert murmured as his arms tightened around Blaise's back.
"I never had much time to drink before and when I did, I had no inclination to shag during or after."
Their new inclinations kept them in bed for another delicious hour while Gellert took his turn on top. Once they were clean and dressed for the day they headed down to find something for breakfast and a news paper. Both were curious if anything on the quake would be reported. They had a letter from Romeo waiting for them at the front desk. Blaise tugged Gellert to a corner of the lobby so they could read it directly.
Blaise and Gellert,
The earth mage was released after being issued a warning so all is basically well. They wanted him to have apparated out and left the Muggles to the quake rather than changing the natural course of events by fixing the quake. Of course that's stupid but I figured you'd want to know what their problem was. So no, they didn't expect him to die in the quake, just to allow the Muggles to do so. That's insane because if it had gotten worse other wizards in any nearby locations could've died as well. So even if they don't care about Muggles, it seems they allow their issues to cloud their good judgment...If they ever had any.
I was introduced to the earth mage before his release by the friend who gave me this information and I thanked him in all our names for what he did. I thought you'd like to know. Hopefully he'll become a new friend. I figure the more useful connections the better.
Romeo
"Well at least the earth mage was released," Gellert said.
"And now he knows where his insane government stands."
His mouth tightened.
"It reminds me of how the wizards allowed the Muggles to start two world wars because they were too cowardly to exert their rightful control...Only now their bloody fear has spread to natural disasters as well."
He spoke in an undertone, leaning close to Blaise so that no one would over hear. He even held Romeo's letter up in front of his face so that it would appear to any passer by that he was reading from it.
"That's why I always knew I'd never pursue a career in government," Blaise said with a shudder.
"All their brains are mush or worse."
"What's worse than mush," Gellert asked curiously, a grin playing over his lips.
"Shit," Blaise explained and Gellert snickered.
They bought a news paper from the front desk and took it with them to breakfast in the hotel's dining room. There was only a brief three line article on the quake, because thanks to the interference of the earth mage it was a very minor one.
"All the bloody Muggles would be grateful were they aware that they should be. Were they given the option, they would probably be glad of wizarding rule if it would prevent all the earth quakes that kill so very many of them each year," Gellert murmured, as always, careful not to be heard by anyone other than Blaise.
The two sat at a corner table and due to the late hour, there were few other diners in the room. At this point, it was closer to time for lunch than breakfast, but not close enough so the lunch crowd hadn't arrived yet.
"Agreed," Blaise said with a nod.
He frowned.
"I would love to know how the Muggles kicked wizarding ass so thoroughly back in the dark ages to have so many wizards still behaving like frightened rabbits even now," he added with a baffled shake of his head.
It was Gellert's turn to nod.
"Indeed. There has been so much lost to history and the information we have just doesn't add up unless you give credit to numbers alone being the answer."
Blaise nodded.
"Sure Muggles breed like roaches, but we have magic. We can conjure Fiendfyre and let loose properly, that could kill them in droves if necessary. Not to mention dragons. Dragons could burn them or eat them. Either way thins the herd. I understand what Kereston is saying about their technology and bombs and such now, but back then, when Muggles broke wizards or whatever, they didn't have any of that so it really feels like we're missing something."
"It truly does," Gellert agreed. "Aside from the satisfying of our curiosity, though, discovering the answer likely would not serve us now. As you said, they have far stronger weapons today, including those that can kill on a global scale. They don't at all mind using them on one another, so they definitely would not hesitate to use them on us."
After breakfast, they spoke to the wizard at the hotel desk to get directions to the nearest wand shop. Blaise was interested in learning what wand cores were used here in case any were more potent than those they had back home. Of course considering Mag's wands were double the strength of any wooden wand, aside from perhaps the Elder Wand itself, they weren't interested for their own use. It was more about seeking knowledge for knowledge's sake.
The shop wasn't far away, actually, and as it was also in the wizarding quarter of the city, they could apparate safely without drawing attention. The wizard at the hotel's front desk was a friendly sort and offered to take them there himself. They accepted and Gellert gave him a generous tip.
"It is no trouble," the man said cheerfully.
"Apparating you I am away from the desk perhaps twenty seconds."
He took the tip with a smile of gratitude, though and apparated them outside of the wand shop.
The shop was built along the lines of a log cabin, but instead of being constructed of logs, it was constructed of wands.
"That's different," Blaise said appreciatively.
"I bet the energy inside is interesting. If the wands are real that is and not just carved sticks from mundane trees. Even if they are the thought was still a good one."
Gellert nodded in agreement.
"It is true art."
They entered and asked the wand maker what wand core options he had. He was short and thin with a nearly shaved head of closely cropped brown hair. He wore thick glasses and rumpled robes.
"Well there is the El Coco hair. He is along the lines of the German Krampus," he said, giving Gellert a knowing smile.
Gellert was the one to ask him about the wand cores, and he'd been quick to note his accent. Gellert smiled back, nodding in approval.
"That's interesting indeed. What else?"
"Well..there is the hair of the tooth mouse. The mouse is much like the tooth fairy...only this fairy is shaped like a mouse."
"I like that," Blaise said with an amused grin.
"It is a tricky wand to use but very loyal once mastered," the wand maker explained.
"We have wands with the core of giant hair, very good for brute strength. And some with dwarf beard hair, also for strength. It is the giant hair for upper and the dwarf beard hair for lower strength you see."
They did not quite, in fact, but Gellert gestured for him to go on. Blaise wondered if they made cores out of anything but hair in Spain.
"Well there is the dragon scale," the wand maker concluded.
"But you use those in Germany, yes?"
Gellert nodded.
"Indeed. It seems dragons are useful everywhere."
They thanked the wand maker for his time and apparated back to the hotel. As the wizard manning the desk was so friendly, they asked him what other recommendations he had for visitors to Spain.
"In all honesty, it's mainly about the beautiful sights, the good food and the wild women," he told them with a grin.
"If you're on vacation, I'd explore all of those. If you're looking for some serious magical studies, though...The most interesting thing we've got is all the magic buried in the old mines. So many things were built using magic that were covered, and all that magic is just sitting there, no longer being used. Perhaps it may explode, perhaps it can be harnessed, but there is a lot of it there."
"Why has no one attempted to harness it yet," Gellert asked.
"Because doing so is tricky and dangerous. It would probably cause another earth quake," the man explained.
"And with this particular government, that certainly wouldn't be worth the risk," Gellert said dryly.
"Thank you for the information, though. We will definitely investigate the food and the sights. As for the women...We're off the market," he explained, throwing an arm across Blaise's shoulders.
The two decided to leave Spain within the week and wrote Romeo to make their final lunch date as promised. While the place was lovely, it proved to become dull if they remained for too long. Romeo was able to meet them for lunch in two days, so they decided to leave the day after that. It gave them time to see the sights and enjoy the food, which they did. They went to a Spanish club one night and found they enjoyed dancing to the music as well.
Lunch with Romeo was at a quaint outdoor restaurant on the beach. As could be expected, it served the best seafood.
"So," Gellert asked around a bite of salmon.
"What sort of hair does your wand have in it? It's all you lot seem to have in your wands...Hair."
He shuddered.
"I hate hair!"
Romeo smirked as he tugged meat from a crab claw.
"Why? You certainly have a lot of it."
"That's attached to my head. I hate the idea of loose hair," Gellert clarified with a frown.
"It's not loose if it's in a wand," Romeo said, laughing.
"It's not on anyone or anything so it is loose and disgusting," Gellert insisted.
"My wand has the hair of...you would call it the tooth mouse," Romeo said.
"I knew it would be a hair," Gellert crowed in satisfaction.
"It's all you lot use in your wands."
Blaise smirked.
"And the dragon scales. They also have those, don't forget."
