“Cursed it is,” Sherlock responds decisively. “I mean, isn't, probably. Unfortunately.”
Not that unfortunately, but... could be exciting. “Can't say anyone's likely to bother us there, though, which is the point, obviously.”
Though it gives him an idea. He eyes John askance. “As a prefect,” he says archly, “probably important to investigate rumours like that. Don't you think?”
He frowns thoughtfully, letting the soles of his shoes scuff along the floor.
“Probably important to have a working knowledge of the entire school, really.” What he's implying would be obvious enough without the faintly mischievous smile, but there it is all the same, a little helpless.
He doesn't mean for today, either; they've something else on for today. But in future... when there aren't any experiments, when they're bored...
Could be exciting. Depending on where they go and when, could even be dangerous.
