Sherlock in Diagon Alley

[hells_half_acre]

LJ still won't let me add pics to my last post (or edit it properly)...so, let's do this instead.

QUESTION: If Sherlock Holmes (current BBC version) could buy anything (inexpensive) from Diagon Alley, what would it be?

Let me know in comments!

Dragon's blood (he'd find another dozen properties for it, to add to the existing twelve).

A foe glass (this one is obvious).

A potion's kit (ditto on the obvious).

Not sure if you'd consider these too expensive though.

A library card? He might not even have to buy that at all. Wands are also releatively cheap.

I'm not sure what would be inexpensive there. Maybe an owl? Or some of those joke things from the Weasley's shop!

I think he would at least buy bertie botts every flavor beans. He would totally develop some kind of key and method for them. XD

Lord knows what kind of books he would buy.

Btw...did you see this story (http://wwww.fanfiction.net/s/6339646/1/)? It totally surprised me when I saw it the other day.

I think he'd probably buy a sneakoscope. I'm not sure how much that would cost, but with the conversion rate, I believe he'd be out of some cash. Also a pair of dragon-hide boots, cause those would look awesome with the coat.

I think he would go into Florish and Blotts and go to the Muggle history section, start reading and then begin exlaiming loudly that it was "wrong" or "silly". John would be stood nearby looking in turns embarassed and exasperated and trying to chivvy him away. Sherlock would then get so annoyed he'd leave without buyng anything and proceed to get very distracted by someting in Weasley's Wizard Weezes and buy a fake wand or something similar that he would enjoy leaving around in the flat for John to find, just to see the hilarious expression on his face.

Part of me doesn't think he's buy a potion's kit to actually use because he's egotistical enough to only want to be able to work things out himself, with no influences etc (apart from John and he always guesses what John is going to come up wth anyway). I think he'd buy it just to sit around and work out what makes these combinations so special - how it works. And then he'd annoy his brother by not sharing the findings.

A book that has moving pictures. I think he might be fascinated by it and if the subject matter is something he knows nothing about, even better.

He'd skip buying things in Diagon Alley and instead break into the Ministry of Magic and harass either the auror department, or somehow reach the Minister of Magic and harangue him for running things poorly. Or something.

Somehow, the only way I imagine Sherlock going into Diagon Alley...is that he accidentally goes into a Wizarding crime scene, manages to fail getting obliviated and then drive the aurors nuts.

Okay, on topic...um...a...new skull? Of a wizarding creature. Because he'd delight in calling people stupid when they think they skull is fake.
