mun finally watched the last two. there are no gifs/feels/creys/tumblrlingo for it

Took you long enough.

It's overdue at the library as of yesterday. You can't renew it, so don't even try. There's no reason to watch it repeatedly. Just put it in the drop box on Monday and leave it there.

You didn't cry during it, there's no reason to start now. You could read them again if you wanted, you know.

But you have those library books to finish first, so you should get on them first.

[BUT BUT]

Read faster. You can do it, if only you endeavor to.

[Sherlock yawns.]

I don't know why she's upset by the movies. They were a complete injustice to the books.

[Sherlock? Be kind? Not really, sorry. Sherlock will also not admit to the tear he shed over Dobby's ~~stupidity~~ death.]

[But Dobby...]

Of course they were. But apparently it's some great thing to her, the finality of it all, completely. There's nothing more to hold onto, I suppose. The nostalgia.

[He rolls his eyes and speaks the one word as if it's a dirty one.]

Sentiment. [He pauses.] It is unfortunate for you, sentiment is a quality found in the loosing side.

[Sherlock's mun mumbles something to him about just because he's having a hard time of things right now, doesn't mean he should take it out on others.]

[It's okay; Remus is a cool "old" guy.

Plus, he taught Slytherins like Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. He can deal, really.]

I don't know about that. Seems that it went pretty well for our side in the end.

[Sherlock raises an eyebrow.]

I was referring that it is unfortunate for you to have such a sentimental mun.

I don't think so in the least, actually.

It wasn't a bad series... as children's stories go, though I can't abide how the movies didn't include the most important parts. Since they took out all the information about the House Elves earlier, I don't know how they expected the audience to believe Harry was so moved to have his life saved by one.

That...that was entirely unfortunate. My mun was hoping to see the House Elves of Hogwarts running amok and slashing calves and ankles.

But considering they hadn't done anything about S-P-E-W, [he spells it out, knowing Hermione's insistence about it and all] it might not have made much sense.

Kind of like the mirror shard of Sirius' that Harry had in the first part. Or not explaining how they could Apparate. A lot of unfortunate things left out.

[Sherlock might have cracked the faintest smile as Lupin spelled out the name of the society. He always secretly called it "Spew," simply to annoy Hermione. Well, also because the sentiment of it made him want to spew at first. He got over it.]

Well, you can never do better than a book. Even audiobooks or reading them online usually twenty times better than any movie of the book you will see.

[Hey don't be hating on Hermione. Remus will :| so hard and fast it'll make his deductive head spin.]

That's true, very true. Probably so true saying so is a cliche by now.

[Which would matter if he cared, which, let's be honest, he doesn't.]

Thought you'd be more impressive in person. Or at the very least challenging.

[Cue bored Sherlock - this is why he says "Don't make people into heroes."]

And I wasn't one to think Sherlock Holmes was prone to stating the obvious.

[Knight to G6.]

Maybe I'm just a bit dull in my old age.

[Sherlock would point out such a move is impossible for the first move a black knight makes.]

Well, you're half right.

[Everything is obvious to Sherlock, how is he to know what others do and do not see as 'obvious'?]

You may in fact be dull... But then, that does tend to come with death.

[And that was said with all the casualness of a scientist talking about photosynthesis.]

[The mun doesn't know the chess names, so it's all her fault.]

Yes, dulls the body, the sense, dulls everything. Even the pressure of Dementors can be dulled if one is with the right dead.

[Remus has been played from his death for so long, it's not even surprising to him for it to be brought up anymore.]

[Sherlock is amused now, more so with Lupin.]

Dementors... Now, there is a fascinating creation. My mun would agree with the chocolate bit - only taking it another step: Chocolate makes everything better... especially dark chocolate.

[Oh hey chocolate.]

I think there's a scientific explanation for that, actually. Something about a chemical chocolate releases into the body, gives a bit of a kick to the part of the brain that makes you happy. [Endorphins, Lupin, they do make you happy, same with exercise.] Dark chocolate is a bit too strong for my tastes, but it'll do in a pinch.

[And Sherlock's bored now. Especially since Dark Chocolate not only releases more endorphins, but has anti-oxidants as well as other health attributes.]

Oh, dark chocolate is better for you... unless that papers are painted with mercury.

[Oh no, mercury!]

Yes, but...ah, how to put this, hmm. My taste buds can be a bit picky about things due to my...nature.

Say for a moment I believe in werewolves. Are you trying to tell me you're allergic to it. Or simply that you don't like it. If it is the first, then you would be correct that it's not better for you. If it is the second, well, you could learn to like it.

[Sherlock has an answer for everything.]

[...]

I'm not allergic. It's bitter on its own, but it's quite a bit more for me.

Don't believe in werewolves? But you're talking to one, so does that mean you don't believe I'm here?

No. It means I can accept you believe you are a werewolf. I am quite undecided on the matter.

[Hmmm.]

Ah, but what about able to use magic? A wizard?

It's all physics and chemistry, in the end...

[His wand comes out with an easy gesture as he pauses, lips pursing in thought.

From absolutely nowhere, a deerstalker cap and pipe appear, floating in mid-air near the tip of his wand. He looks at them for a moment.]

A bit obvious, I will admit. Go on and touch them, mull it over. They're quite real, I assure you.

Physics can explain things appearing and disappearing all the time, I don't need to touch the items to understand the reality.

Would it explain your body moving of its own accord?

[He's not James; he wouldn't really do it. But that twinkle in his eye doesn't let that on at all.]

Yes. If there's an opposing force that moves my body. Like a car crash.

[Sherlock is ever the scientist.]

And what if it was at the tip of a wand?

The opposing force doesn't matter. It is still simply physics.

So, then, magic is physics.

[He raises his wand slightly, and Sherlock will now find himself on the end of a devastatingly strong Jelly-Legs Jinx. It's nothing harmful, no bogeys attacking him or anything more terrifying than not having control over his legs. There are worse jinxes, after all.]

That's physics?

[Sherlock ends up on the floor from lack of control.]

Or chemistry... But how is that any different from administering a muscle relaxant?

[Ever the Scientist, sorry.]

[Aw, you're letting him down a bit, Holmes. Maybe he should have lifted him up by his ankle and let him hang about midair.]

But I didn't administer you anything. I simply used magic. I gave you nothing to swallow or ingest, that's how it's different.

Can the wind knock you over without swallowing or ingesting it? As I said, it's simple physics.

[Sherlock slowly gets to his feet as the affects wear off.]

Many things that have a scientific explanation today were considered "Magic" in the past.

[There's a moment before:]

You wouldn't be convinced until you saw a transformation for yourself, would you?

Depending on the circumstances, even then I might not be convinced...

[He's thinking back on his experiences with the Hounds of Baskerville.]
