A/N: This goes out to all my reviewers who stick with me even though I take forever to write the next chapters. I love you guys! And for calling this story brilliant, cuz it's not... but I love you for it anyway.
And trust me... Harry Potter will not be blind for ever... at least not to love. ^.~ Don't hate me... I'm just your friendly author! And please please please tell me about your fics! I love a good slash! And tell me any ideas you have... I'm lacking in the plot department!
Chapter 14 | I'll Let You Make This Feeling Clear Here
Harry Potter could not navigate the hallways. No matter how hard he tried, or how much people helped him, he couldn't do it. He'd been in this school for 5 years but he didn't know his way around. The moving staircases, threw him off and they seemed to take pleasure in it now that he was blind, Peeves loved to torture him, and Professer Snape seemed especially happy to asign him detention after detention for being late.
And Harry could not for the life of him find his way to the common room. Which is where he was hopefully headed right now.
"Are you lost?" someone asked, a girl by the sound of it, Harry thought. "I could help you."
"Erm, I'm looking for the Gryffindor common room." Harry replied looking in the direction of the voice, he hoped.
"It's this way," The girl said taking hold of his arm and leading him the opposite way.
"Are you a Gryffindor too?" Harry inquired.
"No." The girl responded turning right.
"Ravenclaw?" Harry prodded for answers.
The girl paused as if thinking about it, "Yea...."
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you?" Harry almost tripped and felt the floor getting softer. And he thought he smelled grass.
"I think you should guess Harry... it's much more interesting that way." The girl said coyly.
Harry remained silent, and figured that his feet were sinking into the floorboards because of the castle playing tricks on him, "I have no idea."
"Come on Harry think about it." The girl prompted, "Think really hard."
"I really have no idea." Harry responded.
"Well just don't forget me when you regain your sight." She said firmly and giggled.
"If I regain my site." Harry muttered.
"If you do," she whispered, "here we are. Just step towards the picture and say the password." She let go of his arm and pushed him foward a bit.
Harry took three steps foward and started to fall. There was a loud splash and his robes were soaked.
"See you later Potter. If you can swim in those soaked rags."
"Wait come back!" Harry yelled kicking frantically. He had no idea which way the shore was and wasn't sure where the end of the dock was so he could at least grab onto it and maybe haul himself out. "Please..." he heard footsteps walking away. He figured it would be better to just try and tread water than swimming into deeper water. "HELP." He searched for his wand but remembered he had it taken away by McGonagall because he couldn't aim right.
Harry kept kicking and took off his robe carefully. Then he kicked off his shoes took his pants and shirt off and hoped he'd stay alive. "The Boy Who Drowned." Harry mused and paddled in hopefully small circles. Then tried to float on his back.
"It feels like rain." He muttered floating. There was a loud crack, "Was that thunder?" Harry started to panick. "It would give new meaning to my scar.... The Boy who Got Electrocuted." he laughed half-heartedly. And kicked some more.

Draco was worried. He was waiting for Harry outside the Gryffindor Common Room, and had been since the end of Potions. He watched as Ron and Hermione went by noting that Harry had detention with Snape, and was getting worried.
Draco left towards the Dungeons hoping to see him on his way. He peeked into the Potions room and he saw the Professer but no Potter.
"How was detention with Potter Professer?" Draco said peeping his head in.
"He never showed up the little brat." Snape growled.
Draco tried to look angered, "I'll find him and bring him to you sir."
Snape nodded uncaring.
Draco was panicking. He needed to find Potter. As he headed down hallways and corridors, he saw Pansy laughing with her friends and gesturing to the outdoors.
"Hello ladies." Draco said very casually, "If I may speak with Pansy alone."
They giggled and scampered off. Pansy avoided his eyes.
"What did you do with him?" Draco demanded in a quiet voice.
Pansy smirked and then laughed. "Why do you care? He's gone now. And I will be revered among the Death Eaters."
Draco clapped his hand over her mouth, "Are you insane? You never mention those words in this castle, there are spies all over."
"Whatever Draco." Pansy said with a flip of her hair.
Draco grabbed her arm and squeezed it hard, "I want to see proof that he's dead. Where is he?"
"At the lake." she said nonchalantly. "He was bobbing lifelessly when I saw him last, a little bit of kicking."
Draco hit her hard across the mouth sending her flying, "That is for disobeying me." He snapped his fingers and Crabbe and Goyle appeared, "She didn't learn her lesson last time boys. This time I want it so she won't be able to charm away the bruises. Understood?"
They nodded and dragged her away. Draco ran off towards the exit stripping at he neared the lake. He heard some faint splashing and swam in that direction.
He reached Harry just as he was starting to sink. Grabbing him under his arms and hauling him up, Draco started to swim back to the shore. Luckily Harry was still breathing and Draco could feel a definite pulse as he swam back.
"Harry..." Draco shook him lightly and the boy's eyes fluttered open, but he looked off to the right of Draco.
"Draco," Harry coughed out, "Am I dead? Is this heaven? Are you an angel?"
"No no no you aren't dead!" Draco laughed and hugged him, "I will kill Pansy for this."
"That was Pansy." Harry muttered. "I'm cold Draco."
"I'll get you inside right away."
"Draco, I was thinking." Harry said as Draco carried him to the castle wrapped in Draco's cloak, Draco had on his own robes.
"Mmmmhmm?"
"Erm... well since I was so close to death twice I wanted to tell you that I erm... I well... I ummm... er... love you. And I didn't want to die without you knowing that." Harry wrapped his arms tighter around Draco's neck, "I love you." He murmered again and then snuggled into Draco's chest and fell asleep.
