"Speaking"
Thoughts
~.~
Darkness again… Harry Potter thought as she drifted between the land of sleep and total awareness. When will it go away? Wait I can here someone!
Please help me wake! I will wake! As the girl pulled herself from her unconscious state she began to hear the voice clearer.
"I am so sorry Harry!" Hey it's Aunt Petunia! Come on I know I can do it!
"Ummm."
"Harry? Harry can you hear me?"
Young Harry woke and tried to pry open her eyes but she could see nothing. "Why can't I see? Why is the darkness still there?"
"Hush, Harry. Hush. Honey, don't try and open your eyes, it's okay you just have bandages. The doctors said they will be there for a while." Aunt Petunia tried to calm down the distressed child.
"What's going on here" a deep voice queried. "Oh, I see young Harry is finally awake! My name is Dr. Harris, I will be taking care of you for a while."
A Doctor? Oh, no… Harry finally remembered what had happened. "Is everyone okay?" A panicked Harry asked. "I remember getting Dudley out, and then waking you up Aunt Petunia. And then, and then, oh! Uncle Vernon exploded didn't he! Didn't he!"
At this point the two adults were trying to calm the distraught child.
"He was so scared, so scared! He begged me to save him! ME!" At this Harry began to have big heaving sobs and all that Aunt Petunia could do was to hold the sobbing child and whisper soothing nonsense in her ear.
Harry soon fell asleep and when she woke again she was told how Dudley had woken the day before and Aunt Petunia two days before that. It had been five days since the accident and both Dudley and his mother had been given a clean bill of health and the only semi-permanent damage done to Harry had been her eyes, which the doctors believed would heal in about three months. It was a miracle that was what everyone was calling it.
A week later Harry had been released from the hospital, the small family had now bonded together from the accident and Harry's Aunt and cousin felt horrible for how they had always treated Harry.
The man who hit had paid their medical bills and had given a large some of money which was what they would be living off of, as well as the insurance money they had gained when Vernon died. A funeral was held foe Vernon a week or so later and the family slowly began to heal.

Three months had gone by and Harry had become accustomed to the darkness and it sis not scare her any more, really she loved it. Now she noticed a lot more than most. The sounds and smells around her slowly became more and more pronounced and Harry began spending an hour every morning just taking in the sounds and smells.
Today though she would be once again be brought into the light. Harry was excited but a bit apprehensive. Deep down she knew it was because she thought that her new happiness was an exchange for her sight, so if she got it back her happiness would be taken away.
"Ok, Harry. Are you ready for me to take off the bandages?" Dr. Harris asked as they sat in the dimmed room
"Please, just do it." Harry said. I can't stand it anymore the suspense is killing me. I just want to get it over with!
"Now your eyes will feel a bit uncomfortable because they are not used to the light so open them when you are ready." Dr. Harris slowly pulled off the bandages and Harry could feel the light pounding at her eyelids.
Slowly Harry began to open her eyes and was awed at what she saw. Colors! It's not just black anymore! The colors are even more vivid then I remembered! I can see clearer now too!
Because her magic helped to heal her eyes from the explosion it specifically focused on her eyes and healed all damage and imperfection done to the eyes.
Harry knew right then that she would not stop her morning routine of just soaking up the sounds and smells, but she would also spend some time soaking up the sights as well!
A/N: Please review! It will put a smile on my face!
