I do not own any of the characters of BBC Sherlock, nor any of the literal works mentioned in these stories.
Thanks to dear Ennui Enigma for pointing out the problems.
Harry Potter continues!
"So Sherlock, if you went to Hogwarts, what house would you want to join?"
"Ravenclaw, obviously!"
"Sure, I bet you'd never get bored, what with all the riddles you'd have to solve just to enter your common room."
"I don't like riddles John, I like puzzles."
John snickered, "Sorry, the door only gives you riddles. You'd have to go find puzzles somewhere else in the castle."
"What would be you're house John?"
"Um, I don't know, er…"
"He's brave, loyal and adventure-seeking. He'd be a Gryffindor."
"Ever thought of your favorite subject Sherlock?" Lestrade continued.
"No."
"Okay… what about you John?"
"I think I'd enjoy herbology. I bet you'd be a good at potions Sherlock."
"Ya, but Snape would kick him out of the class before half of the first session is over!"
"And why is that Lestrade? I am perfectly capable in conducting chemical experiences in the kitchen; I don't think brewing a potion would be much of a problem."
"Oh, I have no doubt you'd be brilliant in making potions. It's that big mouth of yours that's the problem. I bet you'll enter the class and you'd rattle out the potion master's life story, from his hygiene to his lingering feelings over his high school girlfriend."
"Lestrade, I observe, I do not read minds nor do I have a third eye, how on earth would I be able to deduce about the girlfriend if she is not in the room? Besides, it's an irrelevant and boring detail, hardly worth noticing."
Lestrade raised an eyebrow "What if that is the reason your dear friend is being tormented by the teacher?"
"Hmm? Oh, you mean Harry's mother? That was something the author made up in the last book to add sentimentality to the story."
"Actually Sherlock, she had that in mind at least by the time she was writing book 5. In the beginning of it, Petunia mentions Lily and Snape's childhood friendship, but it is explained properly in the last book."
"Christ, John, you memorized all the books?" Lestrade exclaimed.
"If only you paid that much attention to detail in the real world. Then you'd improve a lot in your deductions."
"Okey Sherlock, judging by the way this conversation is going, I'd say you have devoured and digested all seven books as well."
"There were no cases for a week and I didn't feel like conducting any experiments. Also the air conditioning in my flat was broken, so I camped at the library."
Lestrade didn't miss a beat. "How Hermione-like of you! Where did you read the books John?"
"When I was in the hospital for breaking my leg on the rugby field. When did you read them Greg?"
"I didn't, I watched the movies with my kids!"
"Liar, the term potion master is the name of one of the chapters in book one; it's not mentioned in the movie!"
"Ok, you got me. I read them with my kids as well. When did you get to be a super cross-examiner John?"
"After I graduated from Auror academy!"
Thanks to every one who has read, reviewed,faved and followed this story. I take requests! Next chapter, Lord of the rings! Guess who's joining in the conversations?!
