Harry (or another character) is blind or deaf. It is not a recent development. It is not magically cured, although there is magic.
Go whichever direction you want with it, but I think first meetings would be interesting (or, for the more humorous version, Harry has a guide-Bob instead of a guide dog).
Ooh, seconded. Thought, though: how would Harry communicate with Bob if he were deaf? Bob can't learn sign language for, uh, obvious reasons, and Harry can't read his non-existant lips, so... I suppose Bob could write to him, but that seems cumbersome.
Harry is capable of very limited telepathy, though I'm not too sure what the restrictions are. He was able to speak to Susan and Elaine mind-to-mind, probably because of how close he was to them, and he did the same with Bob in Changes. It would probably require him to brush up on his psychomancy more than anything.
Maybe he would use floating text like the Bob in TV!Verse does. Granted they're very different entities but... maybe it would still work in principle? Don't figure he'd need hands to write that way.

Have I seriously never seen this?
