A Mistake of Regret
Summary: We know of Sofia's view of the incident but what about Cedric's? Guided by the Light universe.
"It hurts Mr. Cedric. IT HURTS!"
With Sofia being my apprentice, I've heard her laugh, cry, and shriek. Never had I heard her scream until that moment.
I found her in a corner of my workshop huddled in a position that I only knew meant fear as she kept covering her eyes
She had calm down enough for me to check over any bruises or bumps but with there being none, I thought she was okay.
Only to discover minutes later into her screaming that I was wrong.
It was no surprise that her family would find out eventually with Sofia screaming in pain as Roland barged into the workshop and glared at me, thinking that it was my fault.
"For Merlin's sake have you forgotten how curious children can be?!" I so wanted to shout upon seeing Miranda pick up her screaming child and Amber and James giving me the glares of death but I remembered my job.
I remembered Sofia and if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be her teacher to this day.
Seeing Miranda try to get Sofia to see her was almost pathetic but I actually felt sorry for her before getting a small glance at Sofia's eyes.
They were bloodshot and lifeless, having me feel concerned. Oh Merlin's mushrooms!
Do potions cause blindness? That thought floated around in my mind as soon as Sofia and her family had left.
It floated into the night as I cleaned up the workshop with my wand before spotting Sofia's hat on the floor.
Its purple glitter haunted me, reminding me what we were doing before Sofia started screaming in pain.
I clenched my teeth and held back tears as I found myself picking up the hat and hugging it close to me.
Thinking back to Sofia's eyes, horror had crossed my face. She wouldn't be able to see it or anything else anymore for there was no cure for potion injuries involving the eyes.
Oh Merlin! What have I done?
