[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?!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.

No. I only have to say to two. But I have to say it a lot, so maybe that makes up for things.

How did you expect it to work out, then?

You don't say it to me that often. Let's just start there.

Well I expected him to actually admit something to me but he wouldn't. Annoying, but hey, he's stubborn, I'm stubborn. To be far, neither of us backed down.

Believe me, keep things up the way you are and I'll have plenty of reasons to keep saying it.

Stubborn as you are, you're just going to have to face facts that you're never going to get that reaction. Yeah, he's possessive and gets cranky over the idea of my past girlfriends or any potential future girlfriends, but it's because he thinks romance is stupid and pointless, and that I'll be... I don't know... ruined or something if I get in a relationship. He's made that abundantly clear. You're not going to get a booming declaration of his eternal, burning love for me because he hasn't got any. It's just the way he is.

He punched me in the face right after I told him I was going to see how negotiable your sexuality was.

I know exactly why he's never going to declare anything, and that 'old chum'. Your fault.

And the fact that you'd been goading him for God knows how long doesn't factor into that? Besides, even if you did try to put whatever moves you've got on me, your plan would backfire. You'd just get Sherlock watching me shut you down emphatically and also possibly suplex you. My sexuality doesn't negotiate with terrorists.

Oh, really? How is this my fault?

Terrorist? Are you calling me sexually explosive or something?

Well, not really one to gossip. You want to know why, ask him.

Yes, Tony. That is exactly what I'm saying. Your raw animal magnetism is too powerful, and I am overcome. You can't see it, but I am swooning like a Victorian heiress in a corset that's too tight.

I have talked to him about this kind of thing, you know. How else do you think I came to know his less-than-impressed opinions on dating and things like that?

Well, when you're in my presence it's understandable, I mean really, few can resist.

So, you've spoken about you dating him? Or you dating girls?

And humble, too. What a catch.

Well, me dating girls. And him dating... anyone. He was very dismissive of the whole practice in general.

Yeah, I bet he was.

Wait, how long ago was this discussion?

Not long after we first met, I suppose. But I don't see how that matters. He hasn't given any sign he's changed his mind on the subject.

How about a hypothetical.

What if he actually was interested in someone?

Well... that would depend on if this were an actual hypothetical or one of those not-actually-hypothetical-at-all-in-any-capacity hypotheticals.

Can we just humor me for a moment and answer the question?

Fine.

Then I guess... I'd be proud of him. For letting someone in the heart he insists he doesn't have.

What if it was a guy?

Wouldn't matter. It's all fine.

... and, I'd admit, not unexpected in his case. He doesn't seem to have a very high opinion of most girls.

Yeah, he's kind of obvious about that. With maybe one exception I know of.

Well at least you're cool with that then.

There's Molly and... yeah, no, that's it.

Why would you think I wouldn't be fine with it?

Molly? Is she cute?

Wait, no, not important.

Well then, there's two girls.

You mean the possibility of him stopping giving you his almost complete attention because he'd be giving it to someone else, would be, what? Fine with you?

Huh. Who's the other girl he can put up with if it's not Molly?

I meant I'd be fine and absolutely unsurprised if he liked blokes, and I didn't understand why someone would think I wouldn't accept that. But as far as what you're saying now goes... well, I guess I'd be less fine with that. If he just wrote me off entirely, I mean.

Natasha Romanoff. She's a third year in our tower.

She's in our dorm a lot.

Well, it is Sherlock, when he's interested in something he gives it his complete attention.

Oh, right, that redhead on your Quidditch team. Looks like she'll be a stunner once she grows up.

His focus can be pretty narrow, yeah. But I guess it's to be expected, all things considered. And that's why I know you're just bullshitting me with your hypotheticals. If Sherlock was that interested in someone, it'd be pretty obvious.

She's a stunner now. She'll be dangerous when she grows up. Well she's dangerous now, but in a different way.

Well you're right there, it is more than a little obvious. Especially to his dorm mates. And I can tell you for sure that I know exactly who he's into.
