Here is the last chapter and the answer you have all been asking almost every chapter.

I hope you enjoyed the story. Hopefully I'll be back in the future with more stories. Thank you everyone for your support and lovely comments.

It may have taken time, but Hermione learned to cope with her blindness. She celebrated Thaddeus' first birthday with a party he would only remember through stories and photos. She helped him learn to walk, to talk, to read in Braille (Severus had to help with learning to read print). She had forgotten all about trying to cure herself because she became too absorbed in living life with her two men.

Severus had not forgotten, however. Even after Hermione had accepted her life, Severus continued to look for a cure. And it came to them almost six years after the night of that terrible accident.

Severus was in his office while Hermione was helping Thaddeus with some reading exercises and doing some reading of her own. She was slightly distracted from both activities due to the absence of her husband. A week ago he had gotten a letter during dinner and immediately locked himself in his office. Any free time since had been spent in his office and Hermione began to worry either something was very wrong or he was assigning too much homework.

This night, however, Severus surprised his family when he joined them.

"Severus?" Hermione asked. "Is everything alright?"

He was quiet before he passed her the letter he translated into Braille.

Dear Severus,

I'm sorry for the troubles that have fallen on you and your wife. This letter is completely past due, but I did not wish to raise either of your hopes if I was unsuccessful in my task. Ever since I received your letter asking for help after your wife's accident I have been working on a cure. I am happy to write to you with my success.

Knowing you, I have enclosed all of my research and notes regarding the potion. I will send the treatment upon your word.

I wait for your response

JA Leon

Hermione felt her hands shake as she lowered the letter. "Sev? Who is this?"

"Jameson Leon is a potions associate who I often competed with when I was a part of a potions guild a few years after the first war. After the accident I sent several letters to my colleagues, but I only heard back from a few with negative responses. "

"The notes?" she asked "Have you looked at it?"

"I have studied it intensively for days. I—" his voice broke "I believe it will work." He grabbed her hand and placed a cool vial in her palm. "I sent for the potion, but it is completely your decision."

She fingered the smooth glass in her hands. "I would like to go over his notes if you would help me," she told him cautiously.

"Of course." He looked at Thaddeus. He had a face resembling both he and Hermione and hair that tended to stand on end if not properly groomed. He was currently watching his parents curiously. He realized how fragile his mother was when he was quite young and quickly became her protector. "Thad, please call on Dotty to help you with the rest of your activities. Mum and I need to look things over."

"Mummy, are you okay?" he squeaked.

"I'm fine, sweetheart. Just do as your father says."

Severus helped her to her feet and helped her to his office. Together they went over Jameson Leon's notes, only taking breaks to tuck Thaddeus into bed and a mid-night snack. It was well into morning when they finished going through everything.

Hermione sat in Severus' desk chair, one hand holding the potion while the other traced the edge of one of the pages on the desk. Severus sat perched on the edge of his chair next to her, trying patiently to wait for her answer. Unable to stand the silence he asked, "Well?"

Hermione released her lower lip that was trapped between her teeth and answered, "I'm terrified, Severus. What if it doesn't work? I don't know if I could go through the disappointment again."

Severus gripped her hand tightly. "You are Hermione Snape. You have endured more in your life than anyone should have and came out stronger in the end. This time would be no different. However, what if it does work? Do you want to continue life with this possibility looming over you? Even if it was the slightest chance, don't you wish you could see Thaddeus' face at least once?"

Hermione swore softly with tears in her eyes. "Why couldn't you have let it go, Severus? I was happy with the way things were." She let out a long breath. "If this doesn't work I'm going to skin you alive," she said weakly.

"Is that a yes?"

Hermione nodded. "When do we try?"

"This weekend so I'll be able to watch over you without worry of classes. This will work, Hermione. I can feel it."

Hermione secretly hoped he was right.

…

Jameson had suggested bandaging her eyes for thirty hours while the potions worked. While she would gain some sight within hours of taking the potion, any kind of light could cause damage to the healing tissue. It would also take weeks for her eyes to completely adjust with more doses of the potion.

A few days later they were ready to take the bandages off. Hermione was a trembling ball of nerves as she and Severus sat in their darkened living area.

"I'm scared to take them off," she whispered.

Severus swallowed thickly. "I'll get them." He slowly unwrapped them; the rustling of the fabric the only noise in the room besides the soft crackling of dying embers in the fireplace. He set the bandages to the side and looked at her still closed eyes. "Hermione, look at me."

Hermione's eyes flickered open, wincing at first, but then her eyes locked on Severus and filled with tears. "Severus."

"Can you see me?" he asked.

She nodded and fell into his arms. Her hands reached up to trace face, but this time her eyes greedily followed their path. "I've missed you so much."

"I've always been here," he whispered against her lips before capturing them with his own, his eyes still locked onto hers.

"Mummy?" Thaddeus' voice trailed to them.

Hermione quickly tore herself away, desperate to see their son for the first time with her eyes. She fell to her knees in front of him and, as she did with Severus, looked at his face with hands and eyes.

"Dad, why is Mummy crying?"

Severus brought both wife and son to his side and hissed his wife's cheek as she held Thaddeus. "She is just very happy to see you."

...

Hermione did get a majority of her vision back, but it never was as good as before the accident. She used her regained eyesight to work with Potions Master Jameson Leon to adapt the cure. She also continued to raise awareness of magical blindness so there would be no more witches or wizards banished from their families.

A few years later she went back to teaching, eventually teaching her own son, Thaddeus, and then their second son, who she gave birth to the year after she regained her vision. They named him Leonidas Snape after the man who gave Hermione the ability to see her children grow and to see her husband once again.
