Y/N's POV

"What did you run from y/n?" Asked Harry as I stroked his soft straight hair and combed it back it's my fingers

I took a deep breath of air
Was I really going to tell him, I moved on from it- I left it in my past
Fuck I didn't even tell Noah or Maya

"Harry please don't tell anyone"
He brought up his hand and stuck out his right pinky finger "I promise" he whispered into my chest

I contemplated a lot in my head if I was actually gonna tell him or not

"So when I was 10 I used to live by the sea in England, like further down the country"

He looked up and nodded

"I had a little brother" his eyes grew twice the size of there original shape and slowly nodded again

"We snuck out to go swimming one day after my mum had told us not to go because a storm was arising but we still wanted to go"

I could sense Harry was listening carefully the whole time

"He was so little, he was seven at the time" I slightly chocked and I could feel my eyesight go slightly blurry

"We went down to the beach and decided to go for a swim. We thought the waves wouldn't get big until we were struggling to keep our heads above the water"
I gulped down the burning feeling in my throat and continued

"As I was older and therefore a stronger swimmer I could get back to shore but he wasn't there and I could see him"
"I tried screaming for him and I even went back to the water"

"I eventually found him but he had stopped breathing and his tiny body was so cold and grey and it's all my fault"

There was now tears streaming down my cheeks and my breathing was picking up at a faster pace

I had kept that horrific memory deep down and silenced it by a chaotic school life at Beauxbatons and at Hogwarts

Harry used his hands to push himself off my chest and torso to now sitting directly next to me holding my head with his arm and was brushing away the water droplets that were flooding my face

"Shh shhh there there" he rocked me back and forth in his arms until I calmed down

"After that... event, happened my mother was devastated. She always had a preference for my brother as he was quieter and did what he was told- unlike me"

"What about your dad" he asked

"He was grieving, and still does, but doesn't take out his pain on me"

He slowly nodded and stroked my messy hair

It had been a hurtful day for the both of us and we fell asleep together just comforted by each other's company

I woke up the next morning with one of Harry's hands on my thigh and the other around my waist

Uh right

I walked to the bathroom in my dorm and stared back at my reflection, I got showered and changed into a fresh pair of robes

HARRY's POV:

I woke up much earlier than y/n had, but I didn't entirely get up to go back to my dorm
She looks just as great as she does in her sleep than in the daytime
