100 Moments Shared Betweeen Two Strangers

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.)

With little else to do in the hospital except eavesdrop on his neighbors' conversations or think, Draco endlessly analyzed his conversation with the volunteer. Realistically, she probably hadn't intended to come off as condescending and, even though he had a legitimate reason to be in a bad mood, he supposed he still shouldn't have taken it out on someone who was only trying to be helpful. When the volunteer next stopped by, Draco finally swallowed his pride and uttered an apology. For a few moments—silence—and then with a neutral acknowledgment of his words she left the room.
