"Right," Sherlock replied, tilting his head. It was obvious that he didn't believe John one bit. But he didn't want to push the other boy into telling him anything. He didn't want to ruin their friendship or anything. No, not at all. That would be terrible. "If you say so. And you know, I don't sleep much so we could always sneak out and do something." A mischievous smile framed his lips. "That would be fun. And against the rules. So double the fun! I doubt it would be hard to get past whoever patrols so we'll won't be caught. I think prefects patrol sometimes... So if its Mycroft or Greg even more fun because we can prank them!" He was getting all sorts of ideas. It would be great. And hopefully John would have fun and it would take his mind of nightmares. Hopefully talking would take his mind off it. Because, unfortunately, there was no spell that stopped them. Which was a shame. "I am reading Forensic Science: An Introduction to Scientific and Investigative Techniques. It's one of many books I brought with me. Took up most of the space in my suitcase, along with all the school equipment." He shrugged with a smile. "It's interesting. And muggle crime solving techniques are surprisingly good. Its not wonder aurors are so bad at finding wizard criminals. If some of these techniques were employed they would all be much better at their job. Criminals with magic are always prepared for the magic that will be used to track them down." He rolled his eyes slightly, but smiled at John. The eleven year old seemed surprisingly knowledgeable about crimes.
