A Study in the Price of Love: A Potterlock Fanfiction

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock stared at the two other first years in his train compartment. He had spoken up finally. He knew he wouldn't make friends and he was okay with that.

"Well Sherlock it's nice to meet you." John stuck out his hand expecting Sherlock to take it.

"Gryffindor." Sherlock said blandly

John looked confused and took his hand back. "What?" John said, obviously confused.

"Judging by the way you sit with your shoulders back, and how happy you are to be at Hogwarts and meeting new people shows you will most likely be sorted into Gryffindor."

"Well my family has a lot of Gryffindors so yeah I would hope to be in the Gryffindor house. Well that was quite impressive that you can read people like that!"

John was delighted at Sherlock's deduction skills which was odd. Most people told him to stop being so rude and nosy. John was delighted that he was oh so smart.

The trolley came by. Sherlock didn't want anything but John and Molly bought some Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bot's Every Flavour Beans. John had less money than Molly which didn't surprise Sherlock. His trunk was beat up and his robes were a bit small. It was obvious that their family was tight on money.

John stuck the box I flavoured beans out to Sherlock offering him one.

Sherlock stared at the boy. He had been nothing but rude to the pair in the compartment and they were so nice to him.

"Want one?" John asked.

Sherlock got a bean out without looking at it and popped it in his mouth. The bean tasted like dirt! It was awful! Sherlock made a face and swallowed. Molly and John both chuckled and Sherlock was not pleased with their reaction.

"Guess you got a bad one, then?" Molly asked. Sherlock just nodded. She giggled again.

John still had that grin on his face.
