Harry was slowly sliding to the floor. He didn't know why he was having another panic attack. He already caused too much chaos at the train station. He couldn't feel anything at the moment, he was numb. Even though the floor was cement and cold he still didn't feel the floor. The slightest touch would normally make him flinch, but he felt nothing at the moment.

The Malfoy's just stood there. Draco froze, he felt useless. No matter how much help he could give Harry, he felt as though he couldn't help him at the end of the day. Draco saw Harry. Harry wasn't crying or shaking. Harry stared into his world. This panic attack was different from the rest.

It was an internal panic attack. Draco was used to that feeling. He'd have those types of panic attacks back then. Draco was finally able to move. He looked at his parents and they made eye contact. Draco gave an implicit look to his parents, which was a look for them to leave the room.

"Let's leave the room," Narcissa whispered to Lucius.

He gave a nod in return and escorted them out.

I stood there. I didn't know what to do at that moment. Harry was zoned out. I walked to him and sat right next to him and made sure to keep quiet. I knew that it was one of those moments that Harry needed silence.  I looked at Harry and examined Harry's features. I knew it was the wrong time to look at him, but I was soon interrupted by Harry's movement. Harry was pulling himself together.

"I'm sorry," Was all Harry said.

I looked at him.

"Sorry? Hun, there's nothing to apologize for. These types of panic attacks sometimes come out of nowhere. Come on, let's go to my room." I said to him.

It looked like he wanted to say something but didn't say anything. I helped him up, and we left the living room. For now, I didn't want to talk, nor listen to my parents, especially my father. Harry was quiet while we were walking to my room. Our trunks were already in my room. I watched how Harry looked at the details and decorations when we walked up the stairs. Once we arrived in my room, Harry admired the photos around my room.

"You holding on fine?" I asked.

"I guess? I don't know. It's just the first day of Christmas break, and I'm already overwhelmed. I probably just would like to rest today. You can go out with your friends, like Pansy and Blaise or something." Harry said while examining the photos in my room.

"It's okay. I'll stay with you for the day. Tomorrow if you still don't feel comfortable, I'll be here. I am not going to leave you in this state, and I will never leave you alone." I said, hugging Harry from behind.

Harry at first flinched by the touch but soon melted into my arms. I could tell Harry was tired even though he had taken a nap in the train.

"Harry poo, you should go to sleep." I said, smirking at the nickname.

"Hehe, 'Harry Poo,' that's a funny nickname. I like it." Harry laughed at the thought of the nickname.

Harry soon drifted off to sleep. I was left with my thoughts. How am I going to help Harry?  I was thinking, but ended up falling asleep.

I woke up to me on someone's chest. I looked up and it was Draco. He looks so peaceful, so relaxed. I stared for a while, until I was interrupted.

"Stop staring..."

I jumped a little. I was flustered.

"I-I..wha-"
