Chapter 11: ...but now I see...
He heard her scream and ran the rest off the way. He almost tore the curtain he pulled them back so hard. "Hermione what's wrong?" he asked shaking.
"Harry?" she yelled.
"Hermione! Stop yelling! I'm right here!" he yelled over her as he took one of her flailing hands in his. She felt his hand holding hers. She reached over for him and her other hand rested on his face, "Harry? Where are you? I can't see you!" she cried desperately.
"Hermione! I'm right beside you! What's wrong?" he asked putting his other hand on her shoulder.
"Harry I can't see! Please help me!" she cried looking past him.
Harry had to let these words sink in. He turned to Ron. His face could've been mistaken for a ghost. He was looking dead at her. He too couldn't believe what she had said.
"Hermione...are you saying...are you saying you're blind?" Harry turned back to her.
She shook her head, "Yes! All I see is white..." she said sounding as if she was drifting off.
Harry turned back to Ron, "Go get one of the healers! Quick!" Ron didn't need telling twice. He bolted out of the door.
"Hermione, don't worry. Ron's getting help! You'll be alright!" he said stroking her hand. Ron came bustling in behind one of the Healers.
"Out of the way!" she called to Harry from being half way to Hermione. Harry pried Hermione's hand off of his and stood aside. The Healer rambled through a cabinet beside her bed and came upon a bottle. "This will sting, but it will help." the Healer cautioned as she unscrewed the bottle.
Hermione lay down quickly and tensely. She outstretched her hand. Harry didn't know if she was looking for his hand. He was about to go towards her, but she said another name, "Ron? Where are you?" she whimpered. Ron rushed past Harry and gripped her hand.
"Did she mean to say Ron? Is she getting us confused or something?" Harry wondered dumbfounded. The Healer held one if Hermione's eyes open and dropped a few drops of something clear into her eyes. "Aaahh!" she yelped. Ron held her hand tighter.
"Why am I worrying about whose hand she's holding? It's not like I like her or anything..." he didn't exactly know how he felt about her.
He heard her groan again. "I told you it would sting dearie. It'll be better tomorrow! But right now you should be resting." the Healer said screwing the dropper back into the bottle. Harry just stood there like an idiot. Not moving or speaking. He felt so invisible at that moment.
Why was he being left out? He went through the curtains. Ron was talking softly to her. He was stroking her hand gently. "You'll be better soon! You are amazing at overcoming anything in your way!" he laughed quietly. She smiled and cringed at the same time.
"Does it hurt terribly?" Harry asked as if he was just coming in.
Ron turned around and Hermione turned her head to where she thought he was, "It stings quite a bit...nothing I can't handle..." she said as she gripped her bedrail tightly. Harry came around to her other side.
Ron was still holding her hand.
He didn't seem to notice that Harry had seen it. "Oh, did you find out what the Healer said about Professor Lupin?" Harry remembered. It was in fact the main reason he had started towards her in the first place. "Oh...well...I think she said he was very ill. He had been taking his potions...but he was just sick." she said cringing every few words. "Well...I hope he gets better...he has enough to worry about in his life..." Harry said subconsciously.
Ron looked at him like, "Are you talking about yourself?"
"What? I'm just saying he has enough to do!" Harry raised his voice.
"Ron...stop giving Harry looks. Harry, Ron is sorry. Aren't you?" she gripped his hand tighter.
"Yes!" Ron squeaked.
"I've had enough of you two arguing! I can't even see right now, but I know you two well enough to know what you're doing!" she said in her old boss-like voice.
Harry and Ron apologized to each other in looks. "Don't you feel better now?" Hermione chuckled. Harry and Ron were amazed at each other.
"How did she know?" Harry mouthed.
"It's getting late you two. Go to bed. Ron go home and get a decent night's sleep. And don't worry about us!" Hermione said turning on her side.
They all said goodnight to each other and Ron walked beside Harry to his bed. Harry sat on his bed.
"Is this just a side effect of what happened?" Ron whispered.
"I guess...did the Healer not say?" Harry asked stupidly.
"You and I both know the answer to that stupid question!" Ron said turning around to leave. Harry grabbed a pillow and popped Ron on the head with it.
"Hey! Watch it mate!" Ron said ducking and running a few steps away. Harry and Ron both laughed, but Ron left long before Harry stopped laughing about it.
Darkness soon instilled itself upon the town. Street lights flickered on slowly outside. Harry rolled around on his bed for a bit and decided he couldn't go to sleep.
"Maybe Hermione's awake...I'll go talk to her." he pulled the warm sheets off of himself and slipped down to her bed.
He popped his head in and almost yelled. She was sitting straight up in bed looking straight ahead.
He jolted, but realized she was thinking. "Why did I call Ron's name earlier? And he came so quickly too...why didn't I call Harry?" she thought to herself. She felt as if someone was watching her.
"Who's there?" she called out softly.
"Just an old friend." Harry said stepping in.
"You really ought not sneak up people like that!" she said rather poetically. "Actually...I was rather hoping you'd come around." she smiled shyly.
"Did you want to talk?" he asked innocently.
"Yes. About this afternoon." she replied.
"I thought we forgave each other for that?" he said trying to sound unknowing.
"What do you mean? I don't mean our argument...about when-" she sounded a bit disappointed. "I don't know what else there is? What do you mean?" he laughed. "Why am I doing this? She wants to talk to me about it! I want to know why...but I'm telling her I don't know what she's talking about!" he argued to himself.
She scoffed quietly. "You do too know what I'm talking about!" she said leaning forward onto her knees.
"I have no clue what you're talking about!" he retorted. "I'm going back to bed!"
"Harry, no wait!" she lunged forward to grab his hand. Instead, she fell off the bed onto the floor. She hit the back of her head on the floor. Harry heard her and slid back over to her. "Hermione, are you okay?" he asked picking her upper body up in his arms.
She blinked a few times and looked around then her eyes focused on him. She looked into both of his eyes. He realized she must have been able to see. But neither of them said a word to each other. They could feel each others breath. They weren't that far apart. "Hermione...last time we were like this..." he started softly.
"I know...but it we both know this isn't a dream..." she said almost breathlessly.
