[Inkblots. Oh God, inkblots, inkblots everywhere. And the following is scribbled hastily.]

Just woke up to quite a surprise and after nearly being shocked into having a damn heart attack, my biggest question is -

WHO THE HELL TAUGHT SHERLOCK HOW TO GET INTO HUFFLEPUFF?!

Comments

Tony will have no idea if Sherlock's said anything about the day before

[arrogantalloy]

So that's where he got to.

[3houseswatson]

What are you talking about?

Are you behind this?

[arrogantalloy]

What makes you think I have anything to do with it?

We share a room, I'm going to notice when he doesn't show up.

[3houseswatson]

Maybe because it's the kind of prank you'd pull.

He told me a bit about the fight you two got into. Is that why you're not surprised he didn't turn up in your dorm?

[arrogantalloy]

This isn't my kind of prank.

Something like that, yeah.

[3houseswatson]

Yeah... I found out who did it. Sorry for accusing you, but... well. This is you we're talking about.

From Sherlock's end, it sounded like you were going on about us being a couple again and he got fed up. And punchy. Care to give your side of the story?

[arrogantalloy]

If it wasn't me I'd be offended, but hey, no hard feelings there.

I don't have a side of the story. I pushed it, he hit me. Just a prank gone too far.

Well other than me saying I might have wanted to hit on you.

[3houseswatson]

Tony... as geniuses go, you can really be an idiot sometimes.

Even if you meant that as a joke (which I really, REALLY hope you did, by the way), you know you're just riling him up saying things like that.

[arrogantalloy]

Oh, I bet you say that to all the geniuses.

I knew what I was doing, okay sure, so it didn't work out how I expected, but I can't really say that, Well I didn't look surprised when he hit me.

[Sherlock stopped peaking around the bed curtains once he was satisfied it was relatively safe to talk with hushed voices.]

I honestly didn't think you'd react this strongly.

[Action]

[3houseswatson]

I woke up with someone completely unexpectedly lurking at the end of my bed - how did you think I'd react?!

[Action]

[3potionproblem]

Groggily. Honestly, I have to commend your survival instincts. You might not assess danger accurately but your response to the unknown is rather good.

[Action]

[3houseswatson]

Well, pardon me for the flight-or-flight instinct taking over when I'm barely awake and see a human shape at the edge of my bed! Especially when it really shouldn't be there! Even if it was just one of my roommates, they'd get the same.

[He sighs heavily and runs a hand over his face.]

What are you doing here, Sherlock?

[Action]

[3potionproblem]

Well, they don't really care for students to be out in the halls after curfew but I figured they didn't care which dormitory a student was in providing they were in one.

[Action]

[3houseswatson]

Yeah, no, I think you'd get some pretty strong disagreements there if you tried that little hypothesis out.

And you can't be in your dorm... why, exactly?

[Action]

[3potionproblem]

I punched my roommate in the face. This roommate happens to be quite beloved by another roommate. Thought it best to give it time.

[Action]

[3houseswatson]

You... what? Who?

[catblog]

[There was an obvious pause on her end. She had a feeling he would abuse that information she gave him.]

What has Sherlock done this time?

[3houseswatson]

He's managed to get himself into our House. I know he's brilliant and all, but I doubt he figured it out on his own. We don't use a riddle or anything like that as a pass code.

[catblog]

...What do you think might have happened? Do you have an ideas on who might have told him?

[cough]

[3houseswatson]

Well, it had to have been someone who knows how to get in, so another Hufflepuff. And also someone who talks to Sherlock. So that leaves...

...

Molly, is there something you'd like to tell me?

[catblog]

...

....

Perhaps?

[3houseswatson]

Well?

I'm listening.

[catblog]

Don't you think it's obvious what I did? [And leaving it at that]

[3houseswatson]

Well, if it wasn't before, it certainly is now.

Now I'm more interested in why you thought it was a good idea.
