Sherlock was initially jealous of Major James Sholto, but when the major opens his eyes to what exactly Sherlock means to John, Sherlock becomes frightened instead. Sherlock doesn't approve of collateral damage, either...at least, not if it involves John. Character study; spoilers for TSoT.

As Harry, now liberated from the Dursleys, resumes occlumency lessons under Professor Snape, Voldemort begins to put into action a new plan for taking down Albus Dumbledore and seizing control of the wizarding world. A continuation of "In Care Of." Not slash.

"And what about John Watson?" Sherlock had asked. He had expected a rather dull answer...after all, he had been away. He had not expected to hear that John had spent the past two years in prison. Series 3 AU. Not slash.

During the summer before sixth year, Harry finds an injured bat in the garden and decides to try to heal it...and an unwilling Snape learns just what kind of a person Harry Potter really is. No slash.

Sherlock may be the common denominator for Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade and Molly, but when a routine surgery briefly puts John out of commission, it becomes apparent that someone else is responsible for drawing them together. Takes place sometime during series 2.

This story is a continuation of my story, "In Care Of." You'll need to read that first to understand how the characters got to where they are in this part of the tale.
