A/N: Here you go! New chapter! Please R&R! It's also unbetaed just like everything else, so if you see errors, either here or in earlier chapters, please let me know.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock, and probably never could cause I'm broke! Yay!
"34C? We're going to a flat?!" Sherlock was incredulous. How could he be expected to move? He'd lived all of his (recently) nine years in this house. Now he was being forced to uproot and leave?
His mother sighed. "Yes, Sherlock, we're moving to a flat. It's pretty close to the London offices of the Bank. I'll be able to work, and you'll be able to go to school. I know you wanted to stay here, but I just can't." Sherlock looked up. Mother was expressing her emotions? Dave's death must have hit her hard. Normally she was a rock, unable to show even the slightest facial change. That would change. "That's another thing," Sherlock continued. "Where am I to go to school? I certainly can't go to a public school."
She sighed again. "You might hate me for this, but I promise it's for the best. I've signed you up to go to private school. No, don't look at me like that. It will let you go up as many grades as you need-or want!-to. It has a lab which is always available for the students to use." At this Sherlock relaxed. At least he could still experiment. "What?" he asked, having tuned Mother out. She smiled. "I said, they also require music classes." At this Sherlock frowned. He had never been particularly fond of music. "And before you ask, yes, you have to. I've already registered you to take all the classes at your level. And the instrument you will learn is violin. Here, I got you one." She held a case out to Sherlock, who, though he didn't like music, accepted it, being careful not to drop the case. Inside was a gorgeous full-size violin, the strings perfectly in tune and the wood polished till it shined. At first Sherlock was confused. He wasn't big enough for a full-size yet, even if he was 4 feet 9 inches tall. (Yes, he's a tall little bugger.) Then he understood. "Ah... This is my reward if I do well, for when I finally grow into it." She nodded. "I also got you the three-quarters. It should be better suited to you." She held out another case, smaller, but equally as good a violin. "They are..." Sherlock paused, searching for the right word. "Beautiful. Thank you, Mother." She hugged him, and he hugged her back. "Oh! I almost forgot! Most of the boys share a dorm, but because you're younger, I got you your own room. It's smaller, but it should work for you."
Sherlock and his mother spent the next 2 months moving to London and getting Sherlock's school supplies, including a trunk and a chemistry set. When he asked her, Mother said that she'd asked for express permission for him. "So you better not mess it up!" Sherlock grinned, happier alone with his mother than he had been his entire life. Combined. "Would I do something like that?"
Later, as she dropped him off at the school, Emma reminded him of every single thing she'd told him over the past two months. "Don't keep your hallmates up with your music!" Over the past two months, Sherlock had grown to love violin. He had also grown another inch and was now 4 feet 10 inches. "Also, if you need anything-," Sherlock cut her off. "Yes, I know! Ask Mrs. Hudson. She's an old friend of yours and she'd be happy to help." Mother smiled. "Exactly. Good boy. Now, I'll see you at Christmas. Mycroft may be back too, he hasn't said yet." Sherlock rolled his eyes. "Mother, of course he hasn't said yet! It's the first of September. Nobody's thinking about it yet. Except you!" She grinned. Again. "Please, please don't get kicked out or expelled! Yes, young man, I know they're the same thing! But seriously. If you do get yourself in trouble, I will drag you straight back to London and enroll you in public school! Behave, Sherlock Holmes! Bye! I love you! I'll see you at Christmas!"
Sherlock turned around and waved. "Goodbye, Mother! I'll see you at Christmas!" Nobody was around to see or hear him, so he even added, "I love you too!"
A/N: Scene! Please review, I think Sherlock was a little OOC, and I want to know what you guys think! Hopefully I'll be able to update by Tuesday. Have a good weekend!
