On Sunday Sherlock and John made their way to London. They had booked themselves an appointment with the headmaster... well, their parents had when they rang the university about dorms and paying and such. That was all sorted, so they had a room, they just needed to talk to them about the bed situation.

They went back into the University and to the receptionist. She guided them to Professor Charles' office and after knocking they were invited in.

The office was a rather large room with a lot of wood and a nice old-fashioned rug. His desk was large and he had a little seating area where the other four people they had met yesterday were sat chatting.

Silence fell when they entered and Charles returned to his desk seat and said "Ah! Come in! Take a seat!" he gestured to the two seats opposite his desk.

The couple sat down.

"Don't mind the governors. They're just here; you booked this appointment between interviews with our other potential students so we all come in here to relax." Charles explained with a smile. The man was an obviously kind and reasonable man.

"We understand." John said "Thanks for talking to us." John added.

"Not a problem! What did you want to discuss?" he asked.

"Well, we both have an older sibling who has been to University. We were wondering about the dormitory situation. We know we have a shared dorm together, a room of our own, but we were wondering about the bed. Mycroft and Harry said University usually have two average sized rooms with two single and separate beds. That isn't going to work for us." Sherlock explained.

"Oh. Right. Of course, I understand, I myself wouldn't want to spend years in a separate bed to my beloved." Charles frowned in thought.

"We were just wondering if it was possible to make an exception for us. To have a double bed put in that room instead of two singles." John suggested.

"Hmm, that hasn't been done before. Why don't you lads follow me to the dorms, we can visit Mrs Clock. She looks after the dorms and the students who stay in them and is there for any problems they encounter. So we can talk with her and see what we can do." Charles said and stood.

They followed Charles through the University halls. It was a massive building and at the back end of it were where the student dorms were. It was a warm place and as they walked Charles showed them around.

"In the dorms you have a room with enough room for desks and beds and room to move around. You also have an en-suite bathroom in all of them with a shower and toilet and sink. It is your responsibility to keep the rooms clean and tidy. If you have any problems obviously you will have to talk to Mrs Clock. Let's have a little look in one of them. Here!" Charles knocked politely on a door and it was opened by a bright and chipper young lady.

"Hello, sir!" she smiled.

"Good to see you, Amy, please can I just show these two around your dorm? They're joining us next year." He asked.

"Of course!" she nodded and opened her door wider to let them in.

The door was a heavy wood.

"The rooms are quite soundproof. The building is old and was one of the best in its age. We've kept it going and as it is a very good school we get a lot of funds to keep it nice and though that predominantly goes on school equipment and such we do give enough to the dorms. So yes, sound proof with good equipment." Charles explained.
