(AN: Okay, so later in this I put in some specific piano notes. I'm not sure if these are the right ones [though I did find them online], so if not, or if I wrote it wrong PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE inform me so I can fix it.)
Umbrellas
One wouldn't expect Archibald Hopper and Adrian Wiggin to be friends. For one thing, Dr. Hopper was often described as a Conscience, pure and simple. Adrian seemed to have no conscience whatsoever. But after the town's residents kept calling him a psychopath, Adrian was pressured into going to Dr. Hopper, who later assured the townspeople that he was not a psychopath, but a high-functioning sociopath. Since then, though Adrian had opted out of going to therapy ever again, he respected Hopper above anyone else in his life. So when Dr. Hopper arrived at Adrian's door one day, Adrian let him in and treated him to unrelenting violin music. After a while, Adrian seemed to realize that Archie had something on his mind, and decided to start a conversation. "My brother likes umbrellas as much as you do." he informed him.
"Is that a fact?" Archie asked.
"Yes." Adrian thought for a second. "Where is my brother?"
There was another silence. Well, as silent as room with Adrian's violin in it can be. Finally, Adrian asked, "Got into trouble with Henry, I'm sure."
Dr. Hopper nodded, not stopping to ask how he knew that; he had been "friends" with Adrian for too long for that. "Mayor Mills told me to call him off of his belief in the curse. I'm afraid I did so rather bluntly, and he ran off very upset."
"And Regina threatened you to make you adjust your course of therapy?" Adrian guessed, not ceasing his violin playing.
"I guess." Archie sighed. "What did I do? He walked out of my office, obviously upset. And I think he might be planning to investigate the mines."
"About time someone did." Adrian shrugged.
Archie didn't respond to this. He had long since given up trying to change Adrian's opinion on things.
"Well, Regina threatened you." Adrian continued. "I think it's about time someone threatened her."
Archie blinked, very confused by this point. "Threaten Regina?"
"Exactly." Adrian nodded.
"H-how would someone threaten Regina?" Archie asked. "First of all, that's illegal."
"Makes it more interesting."
"Second, how on earth would anyone threaten her? She has all the power over here."
"Here, yes. In court, no." After noticing Archie's confusion, Adrian sighed and reluctantly put his violin down. "Listen, Doctor Hopper, after a while, Miss Swan will decide that she wants her son back, and the matter will be brought to court. And what the court will do is consult someone who's had experience with the child. And who has more experience than a therapist?"
Finally, Archie realized what Sherlock was talking about. "Oh." he thought this over. "I… I'm not exactly sure about that. Threats are illegal, Adrian, and not everyone is so relaxed about it as you are."
"Think it over as long as you want." Adrian told him, taking up his violin again. "Just listen to your conscience. That's what normal people do, isn't it?"
Only a little while later, Archie decided to go back to his office. Once he was gone, Sherlock could pay more attention to his violin playing. He was playing a waltz. The first notes seemed to be a High C, High C, G, High C, High G, High F, High G, High E, High D. Strange. He wondered where he'd learned it.
(AN: Alright, so in case I wrote it wrong, or you didn't get it, that was the Waltz for Mary and John. :D Oh, and while I was gone, I became a Whovian. Yay.)
