Chapter Four: The Cure.
"I love you Harry, and it breaks my heart to think that you don't love me." She replied. Looking at him as the tears started to fall down her cheeks.
He walked up to her and kissed her forehead. "Mia, I have loved you since the first time I met you! And I can't think of anyone that I would rather be with than you. I love you!"
"Oh Harry!!" She sobbed as she latched onto him as tightly as she could!! "I'm sick of not being able to really see you!! I wanna see you!!"
Harry tightened his hold on her and kissed the top of her head. "I'm so sorry Mia. I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could do!!" He whispered softly, tears slowly making there way down his face as Mia started to shake as she sobbed.
Neither of them were aware of the pair of sad blue eyes watching them, tears gently flowing down the persons face.
Harry sighed as he softly smoothed the hairs on Mia's head back. After she had fallen asleep, crying herself to exhaustion, he had carried her to the Gryffindor Tower, where he had been intercepted by everyone, wanting to know what had happened.
Harry walked up to the Fat Lady's portrait, cradling Mia gently in his arms.
"Oh dear, what's happened here?" She asked as she saw the two.
"Oh, she just fell asleep and I didn't have the heart to wake her up!" Harry replied softly as he felt Mia's head move slightly against his chest.
"Oh, that's so sweet; I always told Vi that you two would be the perfect match!" The fat lady said as she opened the door slowly, as not to awaken her. "Well come on in dear!"
Harry stepped through the doorway, and started to walk through the common room when he heard someone shout, "HEY!! What's going on?"
He turned around and silently cast a silencing spell on everyone, and said in a quiet, yet deadly voice, "Quiet! She's sleeping and I want her to stay that way!"
Then, he made his way up the stairs to his dorm room. He gently set Mia on his bed, and then sat down on a chair by the side.
Oh Mia! I wish I could help you! He thought sadly, a tear falling down his face and hitting his hand, as he brushed the hair back from her head.
The next day Mia sat, dejectedly, on the grass, outside under a tree, as she fingered through her text book. All her textbooks had to have been specially made so that she could read them. She was so sick of being blind. She missed the color of flowers, the way the sky would turn green just before it rained, but what she missed the most, was what her parents looked like.
"Mia! Come on were gonna be late!" She heard Ron yell as he ran back toward the castle.
"Yea, I'm coming!!" She yelled as she stood up and headed inside.
I'm coming. She thought sadly.
Mia's head snapped up when she heard a crowd of running footsteps rush past her and up to the bulletin board on the Gryffindor Common Room wall.
"What's going on?" She asked as she pushed herself to her feet and walked towards the crowd.
All she got for her trouble was an elbow in the face and a push in the side, making her fall back towards the table behind her. She closed her eyes tightly and waited for the impact, but it never came. Strong arms held her against their chest, a familiar one.
"Mia, are you okay?" Harry asked as he settled her on both feet and straightened her clothes for her, he handed her a goblet with blood it in, charmed to look like pumpkin juice.
She sighed, "Thanks, yea I'm fine. I thought for a minute there I was gonna fall! Anyways, what's all the fuss? What's the board say?"
"Oh that, it's just stating that there is gonna be a dueling club starting up!!" Harry replied indifferently.
She started at him suspiciously, "And who's the professor?"
He just shrugged and replied that he had no idea. "Somehow, I don't believe you!" She replied as she settles down next to him on the couch, just cuddling with him while he read.
"What are you reading?" She asked as he turned another page.
"Oh, just a book for an extra credit project that Dumbledore is having me do!" Harry replied quietly.
She shook her, head. He was definitely hiding something. And she was gonna find out what it was.
Dueling club was tonight, and no matter how good she was at dueling, she just couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to go wrong. She shook her head and sighed as she made her way to the dueling room.
"Ron, Hermione, where's the professor?" She asked as she walked up to them, pulling her long hair into a bun.
"I don't know. But Harry is gonna miss him if he's late!!" Hermione said as she looked around for him.
Just then, Harry walked in, in baggy black pant and a white t-shirt. "Alright, as most of you know, this is dueling club. And…….I'm the professor!"
Harry smirked and counted down from ten. As soon as he hit zero, the chaos started.
"Harry! I can't believe that you didn't tell me what you were doing!" Mia said angrily as she marched up to Harry while everyone in the dueling club was practicing.
"Well, I wanted it to be a surprise!!" He said as he calmly looked into her face, and the grinned. "You wanna duel?"
She grinned evilly as well. "Of course I do!!"
They got onto the platform, and then walked to opposite sides.
As soon as they turned around, spells were flying.
They both twisted their bodies into the air, and then simultaneously landed and flew at each other (A/N: not actually flying) until they reached each other, and they started combining martial arts with magic, and the result was incredible.
They both started to blur as they got going, and soon all the students could see was flashes of colors from different spells. All they could hear was a grunt of pain, or a thump from someone hitting the other to hard.
But they all knew when it ended, Mia on her back a few feet away, breathing heavily, and Harry on his knees where she had been. Harry had won, but they knew it wouldn't be forever.
Mia walked down the stairs into the common room, and heard Harry muttering to himself in Elvish.
"Mani naa autien raika?" He mumbled to himself. (What is going wrong?)
"What are you doing?" Mia asked as she made her way to is side.
He jumped and spun to face her as he shut his book with a loud boom, making the people sitting on the couch next to them jump up from their sleep and glare at them. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"I mean what was suppose to work?"
"Nothing, nothing. Hey Mia, I have to go, I'll see you later." He replied as he kissed her atop the head, and then fled as fast as his feet could carry him.
"I'll find out what you're hiding Harry." She muttered slyly to herself as she walked back up the stairs to her dorm room.
The next couple of days were hectic, everyone was getting ready for Christmas and going to Hogsmeade and doing homework. Mia only ever saw Harry in passing. He always looked tired and worn, but there was a determined light in his eyes, and he rushed back and forth, books in hand and ink all over his face.
Finally, the holidays started, Mia sat down next to Ginny in the Great Hall, after everyone had left.
"Hello Ginny! What's up?" She asked.
Ginny jumped and spun around, a hand clutching her beating heart. "Mia! You scared me. I'm waiting for my boyfriend."
Mia looked at her questioningly. "Whose your boyfriend?"
Ginny blushed and said, "I don't think you know him, we've been going out for two months, and he's from Slytherin…It's Blaise Zabini."
Mia smiled and said, "Congratulations! He's a nice person, and very good at Potions!"
Ginny just smiled and popped a piece of bacon in her mouth. "I saw Harry a few minuted ago, I don't think he realized I was here, was muttering to himself about something." She shrugged, "Do you know what he's up to?"
"No, I've been trying to figure that out. Thanks, I'll see you later, oh and if you see Hermione, tell her Ron and Luna think Draco is going to ask her out later!"
Ginny blinked, "That's a relationship I didn't see coming, and Ron and Luna! Wow, I never thought it would progress beyond Luna's crush."
Mia laughed, "Apparently, before Luna left for the holidays, Ron rushed up, kissed her, asked her to be his girlfriend, she said yes, he kissed her again, gave her his present and ran away. I heard it was adorable."
Ginny laughed, "Wonder where his Gryffindor bravery was!"
"I don't know, but I have to go, I'll see you later."
Mia woke up early on Christmas day, determined to spend the day with Harry. She went downstairs, her present for him in hand, when she saw him sitting on the couches, waiting for her.
"Merry Christmas Mia!" He said as he kissed her good morning.
"Merry Christmas Harry! What are you doing up?"
"I was waiting for you, I wanted to give you your present before anyone came down. Here, open it."
She took the silver wrapped box, and lifted the lid. Sitting on a pillow was a vial filled with a clear liquid, rainbows running through it when the light hit it.
"I've spent days trying to figure out how to do this, and finally one night, when I was ready to give up, I figured it out. Its got some of my blood, phoenix tears, some basilisk venom and an elvin hair. Mia, I figured out how to get your eyesight back!"
She looked at him, dumbfounded. "W-what?!"
He took the vial and tilted her head, putting three drops in each eye. She felt a twinge of pain, but then suddenly it was gone, and when she opened her eyes, she could see Harry.
"Everything looks the same Harry." She said sadly.
He smiled and replied, "Turn off your seeing magic."
She complied, and felt tears fill her eyes. She finally saw for the first time in years. Harry picked up her locket, and opened it, inside was a picture of her parents.
"Harry….oh Goddess." She jumped on him, and said, "This is the best Christmas present that I have ever gotten. Thank you Harry, I can see!"
