He stares directly at Neville as he says this.
"This is a N.E.W.T. level potion, but I'm sure you can manage. Now then, the instructions will be on the board-"

He finishes writing the instructions on the board. He looks directly at me.
"Potter, are you paying attention?"
"Yes professor!"
"Tell me what the board says then."
I squint at it, struggling to read it. It's probably my glasses, I've been wearing my father's old ones for as long as I can remember. The Dursley's didn't care enough to get me a new pair.
"Potter, I asked if you could read the board."
I see that the whole class is staring at me now.
"Sorry, it's my glasses. They're my father's, I've had them for as long as I can remember."
"Those Muggles you live with never got you a new pair?!"
"No, professor. They didn't."
"I see the problem then. Conjuro Glassio!"
A new pair of glasses appear out of thin air, and he hands them to me.
"Those should help," he says as I put on the glasses. "Tell me, Potter, can you see the board now."
I look around the room, everything so much clearer with the new glasses.
"Yes, thank you so much, Professor Snape."
"No need to thank me, I just wanted to make sure you don't mess up your potion again. Now class, I want you all to gather the ingredients and work on your potions. I will allow you to work in pairs if you'd like, as this is a more complex potion."
I look over to Draco and ask him if he wants to work together.
"Sure. I could have done it by myself, but you could definitely could use the help."
{TIME SKIP TO THE END OF THE DAY}
I walking back to the house after classes, deciding to skip dinner.

I'm lying on the bed at the house with Sirius, curled up into his side, my head on his chest. He runs his hands through my sandy blonde hair, humming the whole time. We been just sitting here like this for about an hour, enjoying each other's company. I hear a knock at the door and hear it open.
