He grinned like a doof when he came to this realization, completely oblivious to how strange he and his new helper must have looked to everyone else in the observatory, covering eyes and waving hands. But who cared about that? His eye was getting better!
"Wow..." Braeden muttered as the girl explained to him what was going on with his eye, and how she assured him this wouldn't be permanent. Thank Merlin. "Are you some sort of healer in training or something?" he asked, his eyesight almost completely back to normal now. At least he could see her clearly now, and though there was what looked like a white stain in his eyesight every time he blinked, for the most part he was almost completely back to normal.
She... she did it! She healed him!
Actually, she'd just covered one of his eyes and waved her hand, but Braeden was easily impressed and easily believed anyone to be a miracle worker. "I'm Braeden, by the way," he said, just then realizing he didn't even know his saviour's name yet. "And no, I don't usually make a hobby of staring at the sun through telescopes; I dunno how that happened..." he added, feeling the need to explain himself. But if he didn't, she'd just think he was some weirdo who walked around purposely blinding himself, and though Brae wasn't the brightest of minds, he wasn't that stupid either. He valued his eyes. They... showed him the way around!
A healer in training? Ellie laughed.
"Far from it actually. My mum is an eye doctor, though. For muggles." Leave it up to Ellie to save the world though. Twice in one day, too. First, the boy getting attacked by the Whomping Willow and now another blinding himself by the sun. What could she say. She was brilliant.
She smiled as she watched him blink repeatedly. Give her a cape and call her Wonderwoman. The look on his face told Ellie that his eyesight was getting back to normal.
"Hi, Braeden. I'm Ellie." She said back.
"It's nice to meet you. It's very... odd meeting you under such circumstances. But I'm glad I could help." She said with a laugh. Pheeew. He was alive. And officially un-blinded. That's not a word. Who cares?
"What house are you in?"
