A/N A new fanfic. Strange idea that popped into my head. So enjoy.

Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter. Otherwise he and Snape would have become friends! :-P

Blind

Chapter 1

Severus Snape sat rigid in the cushioned red chair in the Headmaster's office. The Headmaster himself, sat hunched in the wing-backed chair behind the large desk.

Albus Dumbledore had tears in his bright blue eyes, tears that dripped into his tinsel-like beard. His Phoenix was perched as normal, but was weeping, turned away from the dark man.

"I am sorry for being found out," Severus spoke quietly. Albus stared at the thirty-six year old as if he had an arm growing out of his forehead.

"My boy, you KNOW that is not why I am upset!" Albus exclaimed, his voice wavering. The Potions Master turned away, slightly.

Severus was beyond furious with himself. He wasn't sure what gave him away, but he could no longer be a spy. In fact, he felt as though he could no longer do anything!

"Damn this!" the younger man bellowed, jumping up and kicking the wall.

Albus placed an hand on the black-haired man's shoulder, making the later jump. "Calm yourself, Severus."

"Calm? CALM? HOW THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE CALM?" Snape screamed, his voice cracking. "I can't do anything anymore!"

Albus sighed, shaking his head. "Don't worry, my boy. Poppy is working on something that could help..." he trailed off as the younger man sunk back into his seat. "Oh, Severus..."

Snape shook his head. Dumbledore felt horrible when he saw the child's face: It was more lined than an old man's, grey hairs were starting to spring up, and his eyes!the unseeing black voids, bloodshot and scarred.

"What am I supposed to do, come the new term?" Severus whispered, now totally subdued.

Albus rubbed a veiny hand over his face. "I do not know. For now, we will take this one step at a time."

Severus nodded, standing up. The tips of the man's fingers flittered over the stone walls, as he slowly walked away.

A/N You know that connection between Harry and Voldemort... Yes, really important... Sorry so short, but it was a good stopping place... Review!
