Did anyone else hear that bit about dress robe stores visiting the school in Dumbledore's Yule Ball speech? I'm almost afraid to ask how much that sort of thing would cost. I suppose if I end up going with friends instead of an actual date it wouldn't be as big a deal, but still.

But here I am getting ahead of myself and talking about something a month away when I haven't even mentioned how great Hufflepuff did at that Quidditch match! Our team really took no prisoners, and they've got a fantastic win to show for it! Better luck next time, Ravenclaws.

Are you doing alright? You looked thrilled just after the match, but it seems to have faded awfully fast for a captain who successfully carried his team to victory.

Captain oblivious, that's who.

He wouldn't notice if you got dressed up.

[3houseswatson]

Captain obli... ah.

Yeah, you're probably right there. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing he'd put any energy toward noticing.

[arrogantalloy]

But then again, if he finds you interesting enough, he might.

You're in with a chance.

[3houseswatson]

Oh God, this again, of course.

How many times, Tony? How many times have I said it's not like that?

[arrogantalloy]

Until it stops being funny, or becomes fact I guess?

[3houseswatson]

Hopefully you've got a short joke attention span, then, since the other isn't going to happen.

[arrogantalloy]

You would think. But I've been making fun of my friends pretty much since I met them. So you're not going to get off lightly either.

[3houseswatson]

If you're so dedicated to annoying your friends and people you like, I can't even imagine what you'd do to the people you hate.

[arrogantalloy]

People I hate? I don't think I do, hate anyone. But people I don't like I ignore them and never offer them money or things? I guess.

[3houseswatson]

Well then, I'll take all the jokes about Sherlock and I as a weird compliment, then.

Though I hope you realize turnabout's fair play.

[arrogantalloy]

I'm room mates and friends with Sherlock Holmes. Believe me, it's not something new to me.

But then. If you manage to find something worth using, by all means, try it out.

See if it works.

[3houseswatson]

I ought to be fair and warn you that I've got an older sister. I've got sixteen years' worth of valuable pestering experience.

And if that's a bust, Sherlock would probably be up for teaming up to uncover any really good dirt on you.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, I'm an only child. I've got nothing there.

With the way he watches me, I wouldn't be surprised if he knows as much about me as Bruce does. And I'm sure he'd be annoyingly happy to dish it out too.
