IC Prospective | Mycroft 7th year

[watchful_big_brother]

Character: Mycroft Holmes (BBC 'Sherlock')
Mun: Gowa
Plot specific: Not really, just trying out Mycroft as year head boy or prefect?

While I understand that as a student one cannot simply ignore the opportunities to cause chaos when presented with such a situation, I strongly encourage everyone to please do as they are told and avoid stealing into the Forbidden Forest. Things could get... messy.


[filtered to Sherlock]

This friendly suggestion goes double for you, brother. We wouldn't want to upset Mummy with an Owl about how you managed to get yourself spirited away by some over-eager Centaurs, now would we?

You can't stop idiots.

[watchful_big_brother]

Oh but you can. You just need to know where to apply the right pressure.

[strongestoftheturks]

And you know where?

[watchful_big_brother]

No man is a fortress.

[strongestoftheturks]

Punks are stubborn though. You hit hard, it just rolls over them.

let's just pretend John and Sherlock are already pals at the time of this tag~

[3houseswatson]

Never thought I'd see the day where you'd actually participate in the journal system instead of just creepily trying to spy in on it.

Okay!

[watchful_big_brother]

Oh John, you make it sound as if I pry into the lives of all the students when we both know most of them forget to filter their 'private' entries altogether.

How are you getting along with my brother, by the way? Still good 'pals' I hope?

[3houseswatson]

And the ones that do remember?

We're fine. I'd ask why you've gone and put quotes around that word, but every possible answer I can imagine you giving me is more irritating than the last.

[watchful_big_brother]

Is it so hard to imagine that I can respect the privacies of students so long as I suspect no ill-motives in them?

My apologies for causing any unease in you, John - I'm not one to use such... slang commonly.

[3houseswatson]

Oh, just a bit.

Yeah, it doesn't suit you. There's something kind of unnatural and unsettling about you trying to use slang instead of just doing your regular thing and sounding like a pompous git posh.

[3potionproblem]

I should be so lucky.

There a particular reason I shouldn't be interested in the forest this year? Dragons, griffons... disenfranchised Death Eaters on the run, perhaps?

[Filter.]

[watchful_big_brother]

Come now, Sherlock. Surely you can deduce a clearer result after having seen how a certain professor enjoys his dinner.

[Filter.]

[3potionproblem]

I have nothing to prove to you, Mycroft.

And I'll do as I like.

[Filter.]

[watchful_big_brother]

Of course you will - outside of the Forbidden Forest.

[Filter.]

[3potionproblem]

Has no one explained reverse psychology to you? I would have thought means of manipulation would have been of great interest.

[arrogantalloy]

Wow, could your tie be any tighter, Holmes?

[watchful_big_brother]

Of course - I'm still breathing comfortably.

[arrogantalloy]

Can't be too sure on that, I mean it's got to be cutting off circulation if you think that students are going to listen to you when they're clearly disobeying the great Womble himself.

[watchful_big_brother]

I am not quite as lenient as 'the great Womble', Mr. Stark.

[arrogantalloy]

Because he doesn't need to abuse his power to get the job done, mostly.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Has this been a problem lately?

[watchful_big_brother]

Isn't it always?

[ihaveanappforthat]

Can't say I've paid much attention. Though assuming it is, you're only going to cause more people to do it by bringing to their attention.

[watchful_big_brother]

Perhaps I should be so lucky as to have a few individuals spirited away then.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Oh my, mister Holmes, wishing harm upon other students?
