by Jemennuie

Draco, blinded from an insect bite, meets a volunteer while he's recuperating at St. Mungo's who tells him that she is named Jean. A series of moments from their lives before and after meeting each other. Post-Canon drabble collection. (On indefinite hiatus.)

Scared

When Draco first woke up, he was greeted by an old friend - no, an old enemy, because even if the feeling of fear engulfing him was very familiar, that did not automatically make it a friend. Yes, it was his old enemy fear that greeted him when he opened his eyes, unsure where he was, unsure whether he was dead or alive, unsure why there was no difference between when his eyes were open and closed. It was only when the Healer informed him that his optic nerve was destroyed, rendering him blind, that the fear disappeared, replaced by sadness.
