WHO: Tony and the Students and Faculty of Hogwarts!
TONE: B - For badass facial wounds
RATING: PG-13 for potential language
WHEN: 26th Monday, morning after the match.
WHERE: THe great Hall
WHAT: Breakfast time and Tony's showing off his bruises and scratches
STATUS: ONGOING

After his most agonising defeat at the hands of those damn pufflehuffs. Even though it was a good game, that's not the point. Tony comes into the great hall in the morning looking rather clean and refreshed despite the massive bruising on his face and scratches that are only just starting to scab over again, as he knocked them open in his sleep.

It's obvious as he heads to Ravenclaw's table that he hasn't had is injuries seen too. They don't bother him all that much, they only sting when they're touched and he just really is in the mood for waffles so bad he doesn't even notice or care if people could be staring at him.

All in all he doesn't fell that bad that his team didn't win, though he does count it as he wasn't good enough as a captain. He made the decision the second the snitch was caught that he would be a better captain for the next match.

"Bad qualities never disappoint."

He gives a grin, before starting to heap some scrambled eggs onto his plate.

[Sherlock blinked in mild surprise. Well, that was rather… illuminating. ]

Well, your altruistic nature can be our secret then.

It was a good loss. You’re smart enough to pull out a victory next time.

Good. I can live with that.

Well, I know how all the teams play now, so it should be easier to win. And I'm going to start incorporating weather charms into training. Can't really have us fumbling a good play because of the elements getting in the way.

[In between his words he eats, thankfully not spitting food anywhere or talking while there's food actually in his mouth.]

Ravenclaw's intelligence is its strong suit. Certainly worth playing up in training.

Yeah, I don't think I played to it enough in the lead up to the game.

Hm, I just remembered.

[He tilts his head slightly to look more at Sherlock. He's so very obviously grinning.]

Did you end up going to the shrieking shack? Or did you stand up John in his pretty prom dress?

[Sherlock sat up a bit taller.]

Had John been waiting long for me?

[No use correcting Tony about the fact John wasn't wearing a dress.]

[The shift in his body language, fails to go unnoticed by Tony]

Well I wasn't timing it or anything. But he was standing around when I started talking to him and when I left he was still there. So he'd have been there... I dunno twenty minutes with me at least.

Please tell me you at least got to second base.

How many times do I need to remind you I don't understand your baseball analogies?

We investigated the shack, had a meal, and walked around a bit. Take your answer from that.

Second base is coping a feel while making out.

And this is you. Going 'investigating' is like second base.

[Sherlock shrugs. Americans.]

John's my assistant.

Assistant?

[Gives him a look that says that sounds kinda dumb, and unbelievable.]

[... What?]

We're investigating together the black magic usage here at Hogwarts. He proved himself quite useful during that shade incident.

Proved himself? How?

Oh, he stopped me from attempting suicide to see if the shade would object or if it was its agenda all along.

To be fair, there was a 95% chance I'd be perfectly alright afterwards.

[Tony just sort of stares at him for a moment]

You are starting to be a cause of great concern to me. I hope you know this.

Do I even want to know why you were going to do that?

Oh, perhaps I should mention I'm not suicidal.

[He rolled his eyes. No reason to be concerned.]

I told you, I needed to test the shade. If it was set upon us for ill, chances were the things it was saying were meant to drive the student body to suicide. But if its true purpose was to try and help in some way, it would be opposed to my taking my own life. If I couldn't track down the perpetrator, I could get closer to them with some insight on their motive at least. See?

While you're theory has merit. It has holes. For one, I didn't have a shade, and if things are out to kill us. A 'celebrity' target is always going to get attention from others. Besides. Creepy things have been happening since Summer camp. It's probably just death eaters trying to scare us from school.

[He says the last part with a sneer, and gives his eggs an indignant look.]

Also, good. On the whole not suicidal thing.

Your theory has merit. I was a bit desperate at the time but I don't think it would have been a poor choice all the same. John just happened to prove more interesting at the time than going through with the plan.

I should probably be insulted that that needed to be stated, though.

John, was more interesting. Than one of your experiments?

And you're still insisting he's just an assistant? Really? Nothing more?

[For once, Tony's not making this sexual.]

You could be insulted, but you'd be taking the wrong message away here.

What else is there?

[Which he means in all seriousness.]

[Sighing he rolls his eyes.]

Am I your assistant?

No, you stated that you were my friend.

Yeah, because I am. That's what I'm trying to say. That' what is 'else' other than assistant. Also best friend and boyfriend too... Also Girlfriend.

[Sherlock shrugged]

John said he was willing to be my assistant. If he wants to be my friend he can be. It doesn't really have an impact on our interaction.

You know. One day. I'm going to take you to New York with me. And I'm going to leave you with some behavioural studies hall. They could learn just so much.

[Tony shakes his head.]

You never get old. I'm telling you that right now.
