A charm to put on your eyes? Aw heeeeeell no... Theo gasped a little, because his eyes were precious, but Professor Flamsteed confirmed that it wouldn't do any harm. Other than making them red and sore, which to Theo, was actual harm but whatever. He figured that if he did do this spell correctly, it would be pretty darn cool.
His ears perked up when the eyesight board was introduced.
Theo knew what they were, so he felt to a sudden advantage to everyone else, even if it made no difference at all. He stood way back and had a good look. Well, he had the first five lines down in a snap of the finger, but it was the ones below that needed a little more focussing. Theo squinted his eyes and managed to read all the letters from the sixth line, too, but the ones underneath that were difficult.
You know, this kinda reminded him to make an appointment at the opticians. It'd been like... five years?
Theo didn't make a fuss of his inability to read the last three lines, but instead, he pulled out his wand and focussed on the charm that they were learning. Oculo Focalis. GREAT, it was one of those mouthful-spells that Theo hated soooo much.
