I realized this part was missing from the first chapter- oops!!
Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Harry Potter!!!
Author's Notes: This story takes place sometime in Harry's 6th year (sometime in the middle). I've written many fics for other fandoms, but this is my first Hr/H (or even Harry Potter related fic). Please review!!! Hope you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harry opened his eyes some few hours later. At least- he thought his eyes were open… 'If my eyes are open, why can't I see?' Harry thought frantically. He shot up and began to move his arms about.
"It's alright, Harry!" He heard Hermione's voice followed by the familiar feeling of her hand in his. She squeezed his hand as she repeated, "It's alright."
"Hermione?" Harry questioned. "I-I can't see you." He spoke very softly.
"You got a nasty blow to the face, Harry." Ron spoke up. "When you knocked Neville out of the way, you must have knocked off your glasses too or something, because when the potion exploded, it got into your eyes."
"We brought you here immediately!" Hermione chirped in. "You've been unconscious for a couple of hour. You gave us quite a scare. I'm just glad you're alright."
"ALRIGHT!" Harry shouted. "I can't see, Hermione! How is that alright?"
"Calm down, Mr. Potter." Harry heard Dumbledore amidst the darkness. "Madam Pomfrey believes that your condition may be curable."
"May be curable?" Harry shouted once more. He was about to say something else when he felt Hermione squeeze his hand.
"Harry…" She whispered, pleadingly. Harry took the hint and kept quiet.
"Professor Snape, almost immediately identified where Mr. Longbottom became… confused." Madam Pomfrey said. She stopped for a moment to ponder the irony of her statement but then carried on.
"I believe I was able to formulate an antidote and applied it before I wrapped your eyes in the bandages." Harry lifted his free hand to realize that there were bandages wrapped around the top of his face. "In three weeks time, I will remove the bandages and examine your progress."
"Three weeks…" Harry repeated. His voice was monotone but as Madam Pomfrey began to list a series of things he was not to do until the three weeks were up, he squeezed Hermione's hand tighter and tighter.
Coming up next...
Loads of homework, ex-girlfriend problems, AND Draco Malfoy!! How can Harry manage all of that alone while being blind???? He can't!!!!
