(So I'm going to Ireland for a long weekend tomorrow - I'm bringing my laptop and should hopefully have internet but if not I'll be back on Monday)

"Yeah, maybe we will," Sherlock replied quietly. It was obvious by his tone that he doubted it. He wasn't really a Gryffindor, he didn't think. Maybe he should try to get into Gryffindor. He wasn't sure. John still might be put into Hufflepuff and he didn't want to be in Gryffindor if John wasn't in it. It was a hard decision that he had to make and he wasn't really looking forward to the sorting ceremony, unlike everyone. He glanced over at John, slightly concerned. He had worked out a bit ago that John was scared of drowning but hoped what he had said helped. Sherlock was a pretty good swimmer, so he should be able to support John, and the other boats weren't exactly far away. "I think we're almost there, which is good. Then we'll be able to get out of the boat."

(Sorry its short, not got much time tonight)
