Brightness of a Beloved Eye
Chapter One: Something Missing
…
Draco could hear voices coming from his left, although all he could see was darkness. He tried to decipher the syllables into words and after a few moments, he could understand what they were talking about.
"…believe you did that! And only detention for two days. If Snape had caught you, it would be detention for forever."
That sounded like the Weasel's voice.
"Well, it's a good thing it was Professor Dumbledore caught me then. And he congratulated me on an excellent job too."
Who was that? I've never heard her voice before.
I struggled to open my eyes and succeeded in opening them. But I immediately shut them again due to the harsh lights of the hospital wing.
"Look, he's awake."
Potter. I almost sneered, but thought that would look a little weird if it came out of nowhere. I opened my eyes slowly this time and didn't get blinding pain. I saw the Weasel, Potter, and a girl with curly brown hair standing by my bed.
"Who are you?"
The three looked at each other. Then the girl smiled at them.
"I told you it worked great. Now everything's perfect." She told them, ignoring me entirely.
"Hey, I asked you a question. Answer me."
Her smile dropped and she looked at me.
"No one important. Don't worry about me. You won't be hearing from me again." She smiled at me this time and turned and left.
The Golden Boys watched at her retreating back until she disappeared from view. Their gaze turned back to me, as if expecting something.
"What the hell are you two prats looking at me for? What the hell are you doing here in the first place? What am I doing here?"
I got up from the bed and sauntered out of the hospital wing, ignoring Madam Pomfrey's callings.
When I reached the common room, I couldn't help but feel that I was missing something. Like something was torn from me, something that was important and took up most of my life.
I dismissed the feeling and went to terrorize the new first years and establish my position among them.

Authoress's Notes:
Not too much to say here. It's finally starting up. And hopefully, it should get interesting in the next chapters til the end.
