CHAPTER 12 KINGDOM OF THE BLIND

Harry sat down in Molly's and ordered straight vodka. Harry was an alcoholic but only mildly so. He also had a slight heroin "problem", but his psychologist considered it only a phase.

At the bar stood an angry man who greeted Harry, "Well, well. If it isn't the great Harry Potter. A pox on you and all your kind." He spat at Harry and slugged him hard on the jaw.

Ron appeared now to protect Harry. "I don't need your help, you house elf stealer," said Harry. Ron spoke monkey language to the angry man who he noticed had only one good eye. Ron babbled at the man, who declared "In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king."

Harry thought this was pure nonsense. But was it really? For did Harry really understand or was he one of the blind? Was this man his king? Not if he could help it.

The "king" whispered in Harry's ear, "You will stand down now." Harry stood down. "You will go to the other end of the bar and refrain from bothering me."

"I will go to the end of the bar and stop bothering you", said Harry.

Harry was spellbound for the remainder of his life. The half blind man had Jedi powers! He did not even have a name that Harry knew of!
