Love certainly blinds people: Sometimes even the most brilliant people can't see what's
in front of them. (One-Shot)




1. Love is Blind
----------------



*A small fic I wrote as a response to the* *“Love from someone else perspective” -*
*challenge posted by* *mycha_kk up at Portkey. The rules were quite simple:* **Write
some H/Hr scenes but never from Harry nor Hermione POV's.** **** 
 **Rules:** **
1) It should** **never** **be a situation when H/Hr confess their feelings.

2) The situations should be from daily life. (e.g. during breakfast)**

*And we were basically free to use whichever* *character we wanted. Still, t**his
might not follow the rules perfectly* *as it doesn't describe exactly a daily
scene**, but it's still my contribution.* *And for those who can't figure out
who's talking; it's Dumbledore. He's one of my favourite characters in the books, so
please tell me if I managed to grip his character. He's hard, but quite funny, to
write.*

*Anyway, please enjoy… And review while you're at it! ;)*

**They Who Walk in Darkness**

Love is blind. Ah, yes. A couple of very wise words, indeed. And it's the words which appear
into, between you and me, my brilliant mind when I see the young couple before me: Harry Potter and
Hermione Granger. Both known for being quite brilliant in their own sense: Miss Granger for her
logic and intellect while Harry for his bravery.

Ironically, Miss Granger with her bright mind can not figure out what's in front of her.
Alas, that's how love works. Some wrongly call it stupidity, while it's not. It's
simply love when it's the finest. Innocent and pure. The kind of love people usually wish
for.

Sometimes, I take the time to watch them - ah, yes. An old fool like myself do have some time on
one's hands - and while they're, together with young Mr. Weasley, quite a trio, Harry and
Hermione makes an extraordinary duo. It's visible even through the smallest and most simple
things they do.

I've seen Hermione sit by Harry for hours in the infirmary, while everyone is thought to be
asleep; while everyone is too tired and worn out -she's there. Talking, sleeping or simply
holding his hand.

I've seen Harry sit by Hermione's side when she's studying, long after young Ronald
Weasley has given up and gone up to bed; I've seen Harry managing to persuade the hard working
girl into taking a break when she needed it the most.

I've seen how Harry's eyes light up when he sees her; a light which can warm through the
coldest of hearts. I've seen how Hermione smiles when he tells her something. Not the smile of
amusement, but of love. The type of smile every young man wishes to receive. It's real love and
it shines through their whole being. It's a kind of love they're lucky to share.

But even though the signs are so obvious - if I say so myself - they're both oblivious. Yes,
they're both in darkness; they're both blinded by their feelings. They are walking in
darkness: trembling to find the light, even though they already have it in their hands.

Love is very blind, indeed.
