Wizards and the Sociopath - A PotterLock Fanfic

Chapter 1

Platform 9 3/4 was packed full of parents and children, animals and luggage! Emotion was thick in the air but John didn't mind! He hugged his mother and attempted to hug his sister who pushed him off.

"Have a good first term, John! I love you!" His mother shouted to him as he climbed aboard the Hogwarts Express! He pushed his way through the busy carriages searching for an empty one. Nearly Every carriage was filled with older students who would glare at John until he left. Eventually John found a carriage with only one boy in it! He knocked on the door.

"Do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else is full," John asked the pale boy sitting in the corner. The boy nodded.

"Is this your first year too?" John inquired, trying to start a conversation.

"Yes," came the quick reply as the boy turned to face him.

"I'm also a first year!"

"Obviously,"

"My name is-" John started but the boy interrupted.

"Your name is James Watson, you have an older brother who is a squib, his name Harry. The concept of magic is new to you and You are also eager to make friends. Am I right?" John was lost for words. After a few minutes he said:

"That was bloody amazing!"

"Was I right?" Said the boy irritably.

"Yes on all but two accounts. My name is John not James and I have an older sister called Harriet or Harry for short,"

"Damn! There always something,"

"How did you guess all of those things? Did you read my mind?"

"I don't guess." The boy said tersely " I deduct. Your bag says Harry Watson but Harry is crossed out and replaced with a J. I picked the most common name beginning with J. James. You have new robes. Why buy new robes when you have an older sister? She doesn't go Hogwarts and she isn't magic. No one who had grew up with magic would ask Whether i had just read their mind. You wanted a conversation because you want to make new friends."

"Brilliant! John Watson," John said sticking his hand out. The boy shook his hand.

"Sherlock Holmes,"
