I do not own Harry Potter or Sherlock Holmes.
15. Fear – Harry/Sherlock Holmes [2009 Film]
Harry shook from where he sat, trapped in one of Lord Blackwood's cells. He had been keeping prisoners around to experiment on, and so far Harry had survived. After being forced to watch countless people be tested on and then die, he wondered once more why he had come back here from 2003.
"Stupid Hermione and her stupid ideas." He muttered to himself, bringing his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms around them. Just as he buried his face in his knees, there was a commotion outside. There were a few screams, grunts, clanks and bangs when he saw someone run past his cell. They obviously stopped if the sound of running stopped was any indication, and they walked backwards to his cell and peered in.
"Hello," They said simply, and Harry, still scared, shook.
"H-hello..." He said quietly, looking up at the man. He pulled out something from his pocket and started fiddling with the lock on his door. Lord Blackwood, being the politician that he was, knew about magic. He had had the cell warded against any and all magic, taking Harry's wand away without knowing how adept he was in Wandless Magic.
Finally, the door creaked open and Harry stood slowly as the man entered his cell, ready to defend himself. His fingers flexed as a man, around his age, came forward and peered at him.
"My, you're a strange fellow, aren't you?" Harry just shrugged and, before he knew it, the man was pulling him along and out of his prison, just as it... blew up? Oh my, Harry thought, his eyebrows rising. He looked to his saviour and was slightly shocked to see the infamous Sherlock Holmes that so many in his time knew about.
"Thank you," Harry said softly, unknowingly tightening his grip on the other mans' hand. The other just shrugged, grinning slightly and pulled him back along down the road to someone called 'Watson'. He picked up his wand from a table a young girl in a white dress was being tortured with and following along with them like a lost puppy.
He ended up being cajoled into living with them after they found out he had nowhere to live as Watson was going off to live with his fiancé. (Sherlock had refused at first, but Watson convincing him and Harry's puppy-dog eyes eventually wore him down. John and Harry were coming to be very good friends).
The raven-haired wizard was definitely a reprieve for Holmes' landlady, especially since he could keep Sherlock, his eventual lover, distracted from experimenting and scaring her half to death with very different techniques one would not expect from the innocent looking man.
