Author's note: in this series I’m exploring Sherlock’s past and his relationship with Mycroft, from his earliest beginnings up to the time he ends up sharing the flat with John at Baker Street 221B. In Book II Sherlock had to learn to deal with the vagaries of the world. Still those were nothing compared to what he will encounter during the next few years. I’d be very happy if you’d join me for the trip again. I’ll try to update once a week or every two weeks
Summary: Here the Headmaster allows a deliberate pause to fall in his harangue, obviously expecting Sherlock to look up at him. After a brief inner debate Sherlock decides it would be best to do so. He lifts his head and locks eyes with the Headmaster. The man grimaces. His hands curl in on themselves on the desk so tight the knuckles stand out shining against the skin.
