Title: Blind
Summary: An accident in Potions makes Hermione temporarily blind and Malfoy her seeing-eye dog...or ferret.
" Instructions are on the board, pair up and when you're done, pour the potion into the flask and give it to me." With a flick of his wand, the words appeared and the class went to work.
"A shrinking potion? Why would Snape want us to create a shrinking potion?" Ron looked over at his two friends.
"Maybe in hopes of us accidentally spilling it on ourselves and disappearing forever." Hermione stated as she gathered more lizard tails.
"100 points from Gryffindor for shrinking themselves." Harry declared in his imitation of Snape.
The three shared a laugh before going back to their table.
Add three birch wood and two m- Hermione's train of thought was cut off when there was a yell of surprise. She turned around, only to see Neville tripping over a Slytherin's foot and his ingredients go sailing into his bubbling cauldron.
"Neville-" Her attempts were cut off when the cauldron exploded and sent its contents into the air. Hermione was pushed backward and had the misfortune of getting some in her eyes. Snape stood from his desk.
"20 points from Gryffindor and Mr. Longbottom clean up this mess!" Harry and Ron rushed over to their friend, as Neville scrambled to get a rag.
"Hermione! Are you alright?" They grabbed her arms and pulled her up.
"Harry? Ron? Where are you? There's something wrong with my eyes! I-I can't see you!" Her eyes were a dull shade of brown when she opened them.
"Hermione," gasped Ron. "Don't tell me you're blind!" Snape walked over.
"Miss. Granger, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley get back to work. 10 points from Gryffindor for disturbing the class." Harry left Hermione with Ron.
"But Professor Snape, Hermione is blind!" Snape turned back around to look at Harry before glancing at Hermione.
"Mr. Malfoy," Draco stopped laughing and turned to look at Snape.
"Yes, Professor?" He responded with a smirk.
"Take Miss. Granger to the hospital wing, and Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley help Mr. Longbottom clean up the mess." Draco's look turned into disbelief.
"But Professor! Can't one of the Gryffindors take Granger to the infirmary?" Snape turned to look at Draco.
"Being Head Boy, Mr. Malfoy, has responsibilities, please escort Miss. Granger." Draco grumbled as he got up and walked over to the door only to glance back at Hermione.
"Come on, Granger, we don't have all day." He drawled, his icy blue eyes flickering over to the girl held by Ron.
"It would be easier if you can show me to the door, Malfoy." Hermione angrily looked at Draco, or where she thought he would be.
"Professor, I don't think it's a good idea to have Malfoy-" Ron began when he was interrupted.
"Mr. Weasley do you question my actions?" Ron shook his head and led Hermione to Malfoy, but not before glaring at Snape's back.
"You hurt her, Malfoy, and I'll hex you so bad you'll be eating through a straw." Ron threatened under his breath.
"Don't worry, Weasel, I wouldn't dream of hurting you little girlfriend." Ron advance at Draco, who stood calmly in front of him.
"Don't worry Ron, he can't do anything to me, he's not even worth it." Ron seemed little assured but turned around, after glaring at Malfoy, and went back to the table.
