Scorpious Malfoy was blind, not just slightly can't see, but even squinting his clear gray eyes and shoving his fingers directly into his face could not see even a whisper of movement.
"Mister Malfoy, has your vision improved any?" Headmistress McGonagall startled him out of his revere and he scowled. At Seventeen he'd had many things planned out for his life, going blind due to a potions accident was not one of them.
"Not a bloody thing. . Ma'am." He'd almost forgotten to add that last bit, but figured if he tried to stay respectful she might not get mad at his language.
"Language Scorpious!" His Mother on the other hand, might.
Frowning he rubbed at his eyes once more since he'd been brought there. "Sorry Mother."
A hand landed on his shoulder making him jump. "Son, this will be taken care of, Mrs. Weasley is working with Professor Longbottem for a cure now." His Fathers hissing tone at his Herbology Professors name, and the leading Research Witch in the known Wizarding Worlds name did not go unnoticed to his Son, nor, no doubt the other occupants in the room.
"Hermonie Weasley will do everything in her considerable vastness of knowledge and power to help Professor Longbottem come up with some course of action for your Son, Draco." The Headmistress wasn't even amused with the look Draco Malfoy threw her and simply raised her eyebrow at him knowingly. "Well Scorpious, we are going to make some arrangements as far as your classes and studies go until you regain your sight. With N.E.W.T.s coming up, we realize how important these next few months are to you and the rest of the Seventh year students. There will be someone guiding you to each class, to and from your dorm and meals."
Placing her hand on his other shoulder he felt her squeeze gently. "You will have your sight back soon, there is no doubt with the greatest mind and the most talented herbalist on it." Releasing his shoulder she stepped away.
He heard her clipped steps stop a yard or so away and the rustle of a curtain. "Mister Zabini, if you're done eavesdropping, you can guide Mister Malfoy back to the dorm when he's done saying good bye to his parents."
"Yes Headmistress." The soft cough and clearing of his throat indicated his embarrassment at being caught.
"Scorpious." His Father and Mother both spoke at the same time then stopped, no doubt looking at each other, but he didn't feel like dealing with their well meaning but heavy words at that point.
"Mother, Father, you heard her. I'll be fine. If Rose Weasley is anything to go by with her Mother on the job I've no doubt to be seeing again by Tuesday. Sky, can you take me back to the dorm now, please." He hopped off the Hospital Wing cot and was proud enough that he didn't stumble or fumble until he nearly collided with someone, but from the arm thrown around his waist he discovered it was his best friend Aieadan Skea Zabini.
"Sco. ." His Mother started to say something from somewhere behind him, then seemed to change her mind. "Please look after him Aieadan."
"Of course , came his charming reply as he guided Scorpious out of the Hospital Wing. "Come on Sting."
Already Scorpious could tell this was going to be one heck of a week, first, he came out, to the whole school, on accident no less. But that stupid Hope Teale girl just wouldn't take "No thank you, I do not want to screw you in a broom closet, but Thank you for the offer." as a answer. He'd finally snapped and yelled out something along the lines of not being interested in anything she had to offer, and never going to be, she shot back with calling him a "Fag" and he'd finally just yelled out "Yes! Thank you for noticing!" before he could stop himself. The whole great hall had gone quiet, then there were some wails, various different girls from different tables coming to terms with his words. Then there were some smart asses with derogatory words. The Headmistress spent a minute trying to calm the masses, then Albus Severus Potter stood up, cast Sonorus on himself and announced.
"So what, He's gay, we all know Rufus Abercrombie is gay, hell, I'm Gay. What's the big deal?" And with that the Green Eyed Ravenclaw stood from where he sat with his cousin Hugo and best friend Orian Boot and walked out of the hall, leaving a dead silence behind, in which Scorpious had made his own escape.
After that firecall with his parents he thought the worst of his week was over, and then Professor Slughorn had paired him with the idiot Trevor Humoger today and now he was blind.
"Just because that idiot can't tell a Dragons gallstone from a Niffler Tooth!" Scorpious muttered murderously while Aieadan snickered in humor beside him. "Shut it Sky, before I bruise those blue eyes."
"I would love to see you try that right now, Sting." their back and forth banter helped Scorpious relax enough that he let the Dark haired boy guide him smoothly down another set of stairs and across the foyer towards the stairs that led down into the dungeons.
Aieadan Skea Zabini and Scorpious Hyperion Malfoy had been best friends from diapers, over the years Scorpious had almost thought himself in love with the witty boy, but Zabini was straighter then a ruler and more of a Lady Killer then Cassanova himself. Though the Blonde knew all his play boy ways would come to a abrupt and permanent end if one Red headed Weasley Girl would give him the time of day.
"Come on Sky, I'm dead tired. Get me in my bed, preferably not alone, but I'll take my body pillow if not." There was a chuckle from somewhere behind them, and a giggle. Both were muffled and after a moment of silence of which his best friend hadn't even flinched at the sound, he decided he hadn't actually heard what he thought.
