A/N I noticed that even in the wizarding world of J. books and the movies based on them that the disability of blindness still exists. So I decided to sho a little glimps into my world. The world and feelings of what it's like to be blind. Many people take for granted the gift of sight and how important it is in daily life.
Imagin if you would what it would be like for those who have the gift of perfect vision to all of a sudden be plunged into darkness that you can't run away from. These are the challenges that Will have to be delt with in this story. If you are curius than please read it and let me know what you think. Rated M for later chapters.
Thank you to my wonderful beta reader EllieHathaway for your help in editing this chapter. please enjoy the story.
Chapter 1 Potions Accident
June 31st 1991
Severus watched as the last of the Slytherin house students left the Hogwarts grounds for the summer holiday. He turned to go and pack his personal belongings so he too could go home and relax for the summer. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore greeted him with a warm smile as he walked through the large front doors of the castle.
"Well Severus, I see you are once again glad for the start of summer vacation," said the headmaster, happily.
"Yes, Head master, I can't wait to get home to Vivian and Ellenore," said Severus as he turned to enter the dungeons. Professor Dumbledore smiled and took an envelope out of a pocket in his robes.
"I believe today is your young daughter's eleventh birthday, is it not?" asked Dumbledore as he followed the potions master. Severus smiled slightly.
"Yes Headmaster it is her birthday. I plan on taking her to Diagon Alley to procure the items she will need to start school next term," said Severus as he turned to face the headmaster.
"I thought you'd say that Severus," said Albus as he held out the envelope for Severus to take. "Here is her acceptance letter. I thought you might want to give it to her early."
Severus took the letter and deposited it safely into his pocket. "Thank you Head master, she will be very excited to have this so early." he said, gratefully.
"Well then, Severus, I won't keep you from your family any longer. Please enjoy your summer," said Albus as he turned and walked in the other direction.
Summer was the one part of the year Severus truly enjoyed because it was the only time he got to spend with his wife and daughter. From September 1st to June 31st he stayed on Hogwarts grounds to watch over Slytherin house and teach potions class; he never got to go home for Christmas or Easter, so his wife and daughter spent those holidays alone.
As he gathered his belongings he began to imagine the looks of joy on the faces of his family. His wife would most likely rush into his arms and kiss him passionately. His lovely daughter would join her parents embrace by hugging his legs, making it hard for him to move.
Severus was ripped from his daydreams by a truly horrifying vision: he found himself standing in the special room in his house where his wife would work on her potions experiments. Things were not as they should have been, however. He saw his wife lying on the floor, motionless behind her cauldron. The whimpering sounds of his daughter could be heard from somewhere in the house.
"Mummy, where are you? Daddy, help me please I can't find my mummy." She called out, distressed. He dropped a heavy book on his foot as he realized that the vision was not just a dream. He stopped what he was doing and apparated home, fearing the worst.
When he arrived home he was horrified to see two mediwizards carrying what appeared to be the lifeless body of his wife out of the house.
He rushed forwards and was stopped by Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic. Severus's voice cracked as he struggled to get free from the strong grip of the other wizard, who was attempting to snap him back into the world of reality. Severus felt a brutal slap across his face. He turned and glared menacingly at Fudge.
"What the hell did you do that for? Can't you see my wife has been killed," he screamed loudly, with tears streaming down his face.
"It is truly regretful, Severus. Your wife was brewing an experimental potion that was, unfortunately, extremely volatile. We have searched the entire house and couldn't find your little girl," said Fudge as he held on to Severus' arms. Severus' eyes widened in fear.
"Her house elf must have taken her somewhere where she would be safe from the blast. Let me go, I can find her!" said Severus as he turned his head in the direction of the house. The minister let go of Severus' arms, and Severus ran headlong into the house.
He looked into the room where his wife had lost her life. Barely recognisable, it was charred and smelled of smoke. In the corner, where his daughter would normally play with her house elf, there was a pile of dead house elves covering her art table.
He walked closer and, upon seeing the green ribbon around the neck of his daughter's personal house elf, he started grabbing the elves and throwing their lifeless bodies aside. He feared that, when the explosion had happened, the house elves had risked their lives to protect their young mistress. When he got to the bottom of the dead house elves he found, to his amazement, that his daughter was not underneath them.
He rose quickly and frantically began to search the rest of the house for her. As he passed his bedroom he heard the sounds of soft sobs coming from somewhere within. He slowly opened the door and listened intently, hoping that he was not imagining things.
"Ellenore, it's dad. Are you in here, poppet?" He asked, listening and hoping that she would answer.
"Daddy, daddy, is that really you?" came her frightened voice from under the bed.
"Yes." he said, as he reached under the bed for his daughter. She crawled towards the sound of his voice and when she felt his hand she started sobbing harder. Severus gently pulled her out from under the bed. She was filthy from head to toe and her normally smooth and sleek black hair was frizzed and sticking out in many directions.
He pulled her close and held her to his body. They sat that way for a while, both sobbing. He rocked slowly, attempting to calm himself and his daughter. She continued to cry, despite being in the strong embrace of her father.
"Daddy, my eyes are hurting really bad; I can't see you." she said, tears streaming down her face. Standing up, he carried her into his bathroom so he could get a better look at her. He sat her on the edge of the bathtub and, upon finding that the lights did not work, withdrew his wand.
"Lumos," he said, lifting her chin so he could look into her eyes. "Can you see the light from my wand Ellenore," he asked as he gazed into her black and bloodshot eyes.
"N-no, daddy, I-I can't see anything." she stammered. He lifted her back into his arms and carried her into her bedroom so he could collect her personal things. He flicked his wand and shrunk all of the contents of her bedroom then sent everything flying into the trunk. Her mother had gotten it specially made for her back when she had discovered that she was going to have a girl. Afterwards, he shrunk the now extremely full trunk and put it into his pocket. She stood crying quietly by his side never letting go of his robes.
"Daddy what are you doing," she asked. He looked down at her and placed his hand on her head.
"Ellenore, I am just gathering up your things. We can't stay in this house anymore. The memories here will cause us both too much pain," he said as he placed the last of her shrunken things into his pocket.
"Where will we live daddy?" she asked quietly.
"I have another home in a little town called Derby. Granted, it does need a little work done before we can live there," he said thoughtfully. "Perhaps we should go to your god-parents' house until I can get my old house in better shape. Once it's been repaired and had a little remodelling done, we will live there whilst we are not at Hogwarts,"
He lifted her back up into his arms and carried her outside. "We are both too distracted to apparate or use the floo network. We will have to take the knight bus to St. Mungos to see what can be done about your eyes," he said as he carried her out of the house.
They boarded the knight bus and he held her tightly in his arms. "St. Mungos Wizard Hospital right away, please." said Severus softly. The driver nodded and soon the bus was speeding across the countryside. By the time the bus had stopped at the hospital Ellenore was fast asleep in his arms.
On seeing Severus enter the waiting room two medi-witches came and guided him into a private examining room.
"The Minister of Magic informed us that you would more than likely show up here, Mr. Snape. We have been expecting you." said the healer on duty.
"Lay your little girl on the bed so that we can get accurate readings from our diagnostic spells." The medi-witch commanded.
Severus laid Ellenore softly on the bed, but did not go far in case she woke up. He watched patiently as the medi-witches both preformed various tests on his little girl. Once they had finished, the head medi-witch shook her head and quickly left the room. The other turned to Severus to give him an explanation.
"Mr. Snape, when she was awake did she have any symptoms other than vision loss?" she asked.
"Yes, she complained of having pain in her eyes. I wasn't present when the accident happened, so I don't know if she got hit by any flying potion or debris." answered Severus with a frown on his face.
"I will be back shortly with a potion to help relieve any pain that she feels when she wakes up. Is she allergic to anything that might be in a pain potion for children?" asked the medi-witch.
"Not that I am aware of." answered Severus as he ran his hand over her dirty hair. The medi-witch left the room to retrieve the pain potion, and he was left alone with his sleeping child.
A few seconds later he heard a knock at the door. The medi-wizard poked his head inside and asked Severus to join him out in the corridor.
Severus turned back to make sure his daughter was still asleep when the medi-witch returned with two vials of potion in her hands.
"Don't worry Mr. Snape, I will take good care of your little girl while you are speaking with the Medi-wizard." she said as she entered the room. Severus nodded and walked out into the corridor closing the door behind him.
"I'm afraid your daughter's condition may be permanent, Mr. Snape. The retinas in both of her eyes have detached. There is, at this time, no way to restore her sight. We even checked the progress of the muggle medical experts whom deal with eyes. They also have no cure for her condition," said the medi-wizard. Severus put his hand to his head as if he had a nasty headache.
"My daughter is a full blooded witch. She was looking forward to attending Hogwarts next term. How am I going to explain to her that she has lost her mother, her sight, and her chance to attend the finest school in the wizarding world? She'll be devastated to say the least. Furthermore how am I going to handle her teenage years? I don't know the first thing about how to explain certain things about the female body. That is a job I had hoped that my wife would have gotten the chance to perform." said Severus as tears rolled down his cheeks in frustration.
"You don't have any females that you know of who could be trusted to explain that when the time comes?" asked the medi-wizard. Severus was silent in thought.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by shrill screams coming from within the examination room. Severus burst through the door, expecting to see the medi-witch attempting to control his terrified daughter. However when he entered, he saw the medi-witch standing in the middle of the room using her wand, attempting to retrieve his daughter from where she had escaped to.
Ellenore was sitting on top of a hanging ceiling lamp, crying and holding on so tightly that the medi-witches' spells were having no effect.
Severus glared at the medi-witch and placed his hand over her wand hand to stop her from casting the spell.
"What happened?" he queried to the medi-witch.
"She woke up after you closed the door and wouldn't let me administer the required potions. She started screaming and the next thing I knew she was up there," said the frazzled medi-witch as she pointed up at the child on the hanging lamp.
"Leave this to me," Severus said with a nasty look on his face. "You had no need to cast spells on my child. This is unacceptable and I will not tolerate it." he snapped as he looked up at his frightened daughter.
Severus pushed himself off the ground and floated up toward the ceiling to retrieve his terrified daughter. He gently put his hand around her waist and calmly said her name. "Ellenore, it's going to be alright. Come to me Ellen, I won't let anyone hurt you." he said soothingly. Ellenore grabbed onto her father's robes and they floated back down to the ground.
"Daddy," she whispered. "Where did you go?" she asked.
"I was just talking to the medi-wizard, poppet. You need to drink these potions, they will make you feel better," he said as he handed her the potions. She sat quietly in her father's lap as he handed her the potions that she needed to drink, one at a time. "One will ease your pain and the other will help you heal." said Severus as he handed her the potions.
"Will I ever see again daddy?" asked Ellenore in a frightened voice.
"I'm afraid not, sweetness." he answered truthfully. Severus's heart almost felt like it was going to break in two as he watched his daughter drink the potions, tears flowing down her dirt-smudged cheeks.
She made a face as she swallowed the potions. "Daddy, I guess I won't be able to attend Hogwarts or any other school for witchcraft and wizardry. What's the use of even trying? Perhaps I would have been better off if I were born a squib." she said as she slid out of her father's lap.
Severus stood up with a look of utter disgust on his face over what she had just said. He grasped her shoulder and gently turned her to face him.
"You may not be capable of seeing any longer; however, that is no excuse to just give up. Never call yourself a squib again. Do you understand me young lady? I promise you that I will find a way for you to learn the skills you will need to survive in the wizarding world." said Severus in an attempt to calm his daughter down.
When Severus was given the all clear from the staff at Saint Mungo's, he used the floo network at the hospital to go to the only place that he could think of that would have the proper facilities to attend to the immediate needs of his daughter. He was used to living in the old house on Spinners End, having grown up there so many years ago, but he didn't think that, at present, it was a proper place for his daughter. Lucius and Narcissa were in the sitting room, drinking tea, when the flames went green in the floo and Severus stepped in carrying his very dirty daughter. Lucius got to his feet and walked over to his old friend.
"Severus, I know this is going to be hard for you to do, but the Dark Lord wishes you to join the meeting tonight" he said as he walked to the floo.
Narcissa came over and gently took the sleeping child from her father's arms.
"I'll take care of her, Severus, don't worry about her." she said.
"Narcissa, she was blinded in the potions accident that took her mother's life. Don't leave her alone for one second, or she'll lose it," said Severus as he turned to join Lucius by the floo. Just then, Ellenore woke to the soft scent of Narcissa's jasmine perfume.
As his arm began to burn, Severus placed his hand reassuringly on her dirty hair. "Ellenore, I have to go with your uncle Lucius for an important meeting. Your aunt Narcissa will not leave you. She's going to help you get cleaned up, so you can get some rest. I'll be back as soon as I can." he said, walking into the green flames.
Ellenore wriggled out of Narcissa's grasp and reached for her father, who had now left the room. She started to cry and call out for her dad, feeling Narcissa's soft hand on her shoulder.
"Come with me Elly, we'll get you all cleaned up," said Narcissa as she guided Ellenore through the house. Narcissa guided Ellenore slowly through the house until they got to the stairs. "There are fifty steps until we are at the top of the second floor. Count them, so you never forget," suggested Narcissa. Ellenore had a puzzled look on her face before she responded to the gentle coaxing of her godmother.
"Are you sure this is going to help?" she asked as she held on to the banister and started to count in her head as they rose up the stairs. Narcissa smiled and squeezed her hand reassuringly.
"I have a cousin on my mother's side of the family who was born blind, and I learnt a lot about how she does things." said Narcissa, cheerfully. As they reached the second floor Ellenore turned her head in the direction that her godmother's voice was coming from.
"Can your cousin do magic?" she asked, with a hopeful expression on her face.
"No, unfortunately she never went to a magical school. My Aunt and Uncle had to move to the states, and enrol her in a special school that teaches blind muggles to live with their disabilities," said Narcissa, sadly.
Ellenore's face had a look of shock on it, as a horrifying notion popped into her head.
"Aunt Narcissa, what if my dad has to move us away and send me to a school for blind muggles? You don't think my dad will do that, do you? I'm afraid of muggles. My mum and dad both told me that they aren't very nice. They were both bullied by muggles when they were young, and my Grandpa on dad's side was an abusive git of a muggle," said Ellenore with a horrified look on her face.
"I attended school with your father, so I know how he feels about muggles. Knowing that, I honestly don't think that you have to worry about him moving the two of you to another country. And I know for a fact that he would never allow you to be taught anything by a muggle. Come now, there are about twenty paces until you find the wall in front of you. Feel your way down the hall until you find the first door on the left. That's the master bedroom. I have some of my old clothes from when I was your age. I think they'll fit you just right," said Narcissa as she guided Ellenore into her bedroom.
"First you need a nice warm bubble bath," said Narcissa, leading Ellenore into the lavish master bathroom. She sat her down on the seat of the toilet. "What is your favourite thing to smell? I have lavender, rose, strawberry, and apple scented bath oils, soaps and shampoos." she said with a smile.
"I like Strawberries because they smell sweet and they taste good," said Ellenore as she slid out of her dirty robes. Narcissa laughed softly as she poured strawberry scented bath oil into the warm water.
"I like them for that same reason," said Narcissa.
Ellenore took off the dirty and singed dress that she was wearing and reached toward the sound of running water. Narcissa took her hand and guided her to the tub. After she was comfortably seated in the tub Narcissa took her hand and guided it to the place where the strawberry scented soap was sitting. The soap is here, to your right on the wall. The Shampoo is in the corner behind you, and the conditioner is here on the ledge of the tub behind you and to the left," She instructed.
"Do you know what size knickers you wear?" asked Narcissa.
"No, but I think the size might be on my other pair." said Ellenore as she felt around for the soap. Narcissa went and picked up the knickers from the floor to check the size then called for her personal house elf, Tinky. When the house elf entered the room she ordered her to go to the shops and procure a few new pairs of size six child's knickers. The house elf bowed and left the room with a pop.
"I know you don't like pink so let me see what I have in my old clothes that you might like. I'll be in the next room if you need me," said Narcissa as she went into her bedroom and opened her trunk.
Ellenore felt around until she found the wash cloth and began to scrub herself vigorously. She hated getting dirty unless she was helping her mum and dad look for fresh potions ingredients. On thinking about her mother and the fact that she was quiet the last time that she was in their old house made her start crying all over again. Narcissa heard her cries and ran into the bathroom to see what was wrong.
"Did you get soap into your eyes?" she asked with concern. Ellenore didn't reply for a moment, she just sat there sobbing.
"Aunt Narcissa, before my dad got home and found me, I tried to find my mum. I called her over and over but she never answered me. The house elves all died protecting me from the explosion. What happened to my mum? Why did she leave me in the house all alone?" she asked as her sobs intensified and she started to shake.
Narcissa sank to her knees beside the tub and embraced the wet, sobbing girl. "Elly, dearest, I'm going to tell you something that your dad probably didn't have the words to say. Unfortunately your mum didn't survive the explosion that your house elves protected you from." Ellenore stiffened and her eyes grew large in shock and understanding.
"My m-mummy, m-my mummy is dead?" she stammered as the sobs racked through her small body.
Narcissa continued to hold the sobbing child and spoke softly to her, attempting to calm her down. "Did you wash your hair yet, Elly?" she asked. Ellenore shook her head, and Narcissa pulled away and reached for the shampoo. She tried to reassure Ellenore whilst she massaged the shampoo and conditioner into her waist length black hair. "You know, I will always be here to help you in your mothers place," she said as she rinsed the remnants of the conditioner from Ellenore's hair.
Ellenore didn't say a word. She allowed Narcissa to help her dry off and dress in a set of lovely olive green robes with belled sleeves, a square neckline, and an ankle length skirt, trimmed in a lighter shade of green and embroidered with the design of roses and leaves around all of the borders. Narcissa then dried Ellenore's hair with a drying charm and pulled it back into a ponytail, which she secured with a light green hair ribbon that matched the embroidery on the dress.
After she was finished dressing the now extremely nonresponsive child, she led her into a room across from the master bedroom, which was reserved for her occasional visits to the manner. She led her to the bed and sat with her, attempting to make conversation.
"I have to oversee the house elves while they prepare dinner, would you like to play with Draco?" asked Narcissa. Ellenore shook her head and felt around the bed for one of the stuffed animals that she knew was there. Once she found one, she brought it to her chest and hugged it tightly as tears slowly trickled down her cheek.
Once she heard her godmother leave the room and close the door softly behind her she rolled up into a ball and let the tears come. As she lay there crying, she could hear the others going around the house and attending to various things. She heard Draco laughing at Crabbe and Goyle as they wrestled in his room, which was diagonally across from hers. She marvelled at how much more pronounced and acute her hearing was. She wanted to join the boys but she feared being teased by the others, so she stayed alone in her room, crying softly.
Five minutes later she was still crying over her losses. She heard Crabbe and Goyle go running down the hallway, and then heard the front doors downstairs slam behind them. Draco walked out of his room with a satisfied smile on his face. He had no idea that Ellenore was in the house, until he heard her softly crying in her room. He didn't know why she would be crying on her birthday, but he knew exactly how to make her stop. He ran quickly to his room and collected a lovely doll that he had purchased in the hopes of giving it to her for her birthday.
He then pocketed two chocolate frogs and two pumpkin pasties and ran back to her door. He didn't bother to knock because he knew that she never walked around in a state of undress.
"Hey! Elly, when did you get here?" he asked as he entered the room. She didn't answer him. He walked over and sat beside her on the bed. "Elly, please talk to me. Why are you crying on your birthday?" asked Draco with a note of concern in his voice. When she felt his hand on her shoulder she rolled over on to her back and frowned.
"It's not my birthday. It's the worst day of my life." she said as she sat up and took a handkerchief from Draco.
"Dry your eyes and tell me what happened Elly," he coaxed.
"No, you'll laugh at me, and tease me like you do the mudbloods and the squibs." she argued. Draco noticed how red and blood shot Ellenore's eyes were. He knew that whatever was wrong, it was something bad to have her in this state of upset.
"Elly, I give you my word as a gentleman that I won't tease you, or allow anyone else to tease you for that matter. Please won't you tell me what happened to you to make you so sad?" he pleaded. Ellenore dried her eyes with the handkerchief and scooted to the edge of the bed.
"It's too horrible to talk about." said Ellenore. Draco rolled his eyes and handed her a chocolate frog.
"Eat that, it will make you feel better" he said hopefully. He opened his own chocolate frog and ate it before it could hop away.
When Ellenore opened her chocolate frog, however, she did not get to eat it. Before she could grab the frog it jumped out of the box and across the room. She got up and started to walk to where she had heard the frog land, but didn't get too far. Before she could take three steps she caught her foot on a doll's house and hit the floor hard. Draco rushed over to her and tried to help her to her feet.
"Elly why didn't you just go around it?" he asked in a puzzled tone. Ellenore felt the ground in front of her until she felt his shiny black shoes in front of her. Draco noticed how she was feeling around on the ground, and then he realized that there was something wrong with her eyes. He knelt and pulled the now softly crying girl into his arms. "Ellenore, tell me the truth. Can you see anything at all?" asked Draco. Ellenore shook her head and leaned against her childhood friend. She could smell the masculine scent of a man's cologne on his clothes. She pulled back and started laughing hard.
"Are you actually wearing cologne, Draco?" she asked with a soft giggle. Draco was glad to finally see a bit of a smile on her sad face.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. Do you like it?" he asked. Ellenore wrinkled her nose.
"You smell like your dad, Draco."
"That's the point," he said as he caught the renegade chocolate frog and placed it into her hand.
"What happened to you, Elly? How did you lose your sight anyway?" asked Draco hoping that she would answer. Ellenore sighed deeply then ate her frog before she answered him.
"Thanks for the frog Draco, but in the future I'd prefer to eat something that doesn't want to run away from me." She took a breath before continuing. "My mum and I were in the room where she and dad would work on potions and I was in the corner playing with the house elves. The next thing I know my mum cursed under her breath and I got pushed onto the floor under my art table by all of the house elves," she began. "When I woke up everything was quiet. The house elves were all dead, and I couldn't see. I tried to find my mum but she never answered me-."
She went silent and tears started flowing down her cheeks again. "Draco, my mum didn't answer me because she was dead. When I couldn't find her I heard people outside the house that I didn't recognize and I got scared and hid under my parents bed. Then daddy came home and found me. We went to Saint Mungo's, and they said that I will never see again." she said softly.
"It's going to be alright Elly, when we go to Hogwarts in September I'll help you," said Draco cheerfully. Ellenore frowned and looked sadder than before.
"My dad says that he's going to find a way to help me learn how to live in the wizarding world, but how can I go to Hogwarts and be in Slytherin house like my parents if I can't see to read? You may be able to help me find my way around the school but you can't help me with my lessons and reading. I know that you wouldn't hesitate to help me but it's too much to ask of anyone, let alone another student." said Ellenore.
At that very moment Severus walked through the front doors of the manor with Lucius, looking very tired. He noticed Narcissa in the dining room and walked over to her quickly.
"Please tell me that she's not alone." he said. Narcissa shook her head sadly.
"Severus, I had to see to the dinner preparations. I asked her if she wanted to play with Draco but she just shook her head, rolled over, and started crying. She knows about her mother as well, so that's one thing that you don't have to break to her." said Narcissa as she poured Lucius a goblet of wine.
Severus left the dining room and started up the stairs when Narcissa popped her head out and asked him to tell Draco that dinner was ready since he was going up. As he opened the door to her room he saw her sitting in the floor with Draco holding a rather nice doll and eating a pumpkin pasty.
"I do hope that you're not going to spoil your dinner," he said as he stepped into the room.
"Daddy," she screamed with joy in her voice. She got up and tried to walk to her father and hit the edge of the doll's house that was in her way before. Before Severus could act or say anything, Draco got to his feet and guided her to her father.
"Draco, your mother says that dinner is ready. You can go down stairs, I'll bring Ellenore." said Severus as he pulled his beautifully dressed daughter into his arms. Draco bowed and left the room.
"Daddy, what took you so long?" she asked. Severus knelt and hugged her tightly, and breathed in the scent of her strawberry shampoo.
"I'm sorry, poppet, it's not something that I want you involved in, ever! It's too dangerous. I lost your mum because of it and I won't lose you as well. Are you hungry, pet?" he asked hopefully.
Two days later they held a funeral for Severus's departed wife. Severus and Ellenore stood quietly by the grave side as the rain began to fall; Ellenore never released her grip on her father's robes. She was not able to see with her own eyes; however, she found that with physical contact she was still able to read thoughts. She could see in her mind her father's thoughts as if they were her own. She saw her mother's casket being lowered into the ground, and started to cry and call for her mother. Severus moved his hand and pulled her closer to him.
"Your mother was a wonderfully talented witch. She would not want you to give up on your education. I will see to it that you become the talented witch that your mother dreamt that you would grow to be." he said as he knelt and kissed the top of her head.
