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?

[Humiliation and subjugation? That's something he might be able to do, but his idea of humiliation is to beat someone into it. But maybe...]

So, humiliate them in front of their friends.



Could backfire though. Make them mad.

[watchful_big_brother]

If you're so worried about feelings and potentially violent responses, try 'talking out' the issues. If they keep refusing to listen, then threaten to humiliate them before their friends.

Whether you follow through with the threat or not is entirely up to you, of course.

Assuming he's headboy?

[strongestoftheturks]

Right.

Thanks. I'll try that.

You're Mycroft Holmes right?

'kay!

[watchful_big_brother]

Indeed I am.

[strongestoftheturks]

You've seen the journals. You've got a lot of work to do.

Good luck.

[watchful_big_brother]

It helps to keep me busy.

[strongestoftheturks]

You must be a smart guy then.

[Rude's in his 7th year, and he's feeling the heat alright. NEWTS don't stand for "Nastily Exhausting" for nothing.]

[watchful_big_brother]

Oh no, not at all. I'm simply a humble student who strives to keep his peers in check while pursuing his studies.

[strongestoftheturks]

You do tutoring by any chance?

[watchful_big_brother]

I'm afraid not but I can supply you with a list of some high-achieving students who offer such services if you would like?

[strongestoftheturks]

Yeah, that's fine. Thanks.

Could I get someone good in Herbology, specially?

[Not going to lie, everything he touches dies.]

[watchful_big_brother]

That should be doable. I will pass on your details to a couple of candidates.

[strongestoftheturks]

Appreciated.

You do this all the time? Helping other students?

[watchful_big_brother]

I like to keep my ducks in a row, and helping some struggling students can be exactly the right push to boost moral of the population on a whole come exam period.

[strongestoftheturks]

I'm not a duck.

[watchful_big_brother]

It's an idiom.

[strongestoftheturks]

[Facepalm on the other side of the journal.]

Sorry.

[watchful_big_brother]

That's quite alright.

[strongestoftheturks]

You're a pretty cool Headboy.

Good luck with keeping the ducks in line.

[watchful_big_brother]

Thank you. Good luck with your studies.

[strongestoftheturks]

I'll let you know how things go.

Studies and your advice.
