A\N: This is kinda Harry's point of view but it still will be third person-

The Golden Trio were having a pleasant conversation about the upcoming school year when they realized Draco had fallen asleep. ''I didn't know he was a bloke that would sleep in front of people.'' said Ron mockingly.

''Maybe its the best, look at the bags under his eyes...'' Hermione answered. ''Is that concern I hear in your voice 'Mione?!'' Ron asked, shocked. ''Do you like him or something? Me and Harry are totally okay with it if you do...'' He said even though he didn't quite feel it.

''NO! No its just that... He looks different... In a bad way. Im just worried.'' Hermione anwered.

Ron opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a heavy breathing voice. They all looked towards the sleeping Slytherin and saw him twitching and whimpering.

''Uhm... What the bloody hell...'' Harry said, looking pretty dumbfounded. ''He's probably having a nightmare... Should we wake him?'' Hermione asked. ''I wonder what its about.'' said Ron. ''Probably his daddy forgetting to buy hair gel for him.'' Harry answered mockingly, making Ron laugh.

''Shut up Harry! We don't know what goes on in his life!'' Hermione said angrily. ''Actually Hermione, we do. What goes on is that he's being spoiled rotten!'' Ron replied.

Hermione opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by loud whimpers. They all looked towards the now crying Slytherin.

''That's it, im waking him up.'' Hermione said, motioning towards the trembling boy. (can someone tremble in their sleep? Idk)

''Malfoy, wake up.'' she whispered slightly shaking the boy, no response.

''Malfoy! Wake up!'' she said, this time voice a bit higher, still to no avail. But as the time goes by, Draco was getting worser. Now he started full on sobbing and shaking voilently.

''MALFOY!'' she called, this time she was yelling and shaking the boy vigorously. Still no response.

''MALFOY WAKE UP!'' she yelled again and finally, Draco awoke with a loud gasp.

He closed his eyes and tried catching his breath. When he re-opened them, he saw that he was still in the train, vulnerable in front of his enemies.

''Are you okay?!'' Hermione asked, obviously very worried. ''Im fine Granger, my apologies for scaring you.'' he said.

What would his father do if he found out about this. About how weak his son was being in front of his enemies. The thought immediately caused his throught to close up and he felt like he couldn't breath. He quickly got up and ran to the lavatory, leaving behing a very dumbfounded trio.

When he got inside the lavatory, he quickly locked the door and slid down a wall. He pulled his legs to his chest, wrapping his arms around them and tried to steady his breathing.

Even though he was used to these attacks, it never made them easier. His chest was hurting a lot and if Draco didn't know, he would thing he was having a heart attack.

His vision was getting blurrier each second and he thought he was going to pass out. He started thinking about the methods his mother taught him. The 5-4-3-2-1 method he thought.

''Okay...breathe. 5 things you can see.'' He mumbled to himself and started looking around. ''T-The toilets, the sinks, the mirrors, my hands, the door.'' he mumbled and continued.

''4 things you can hear. The train, the dripping water, my breathing, my heartbeat.'' He finished and continued when he realized it was working.

''3 things you can touch. The ground, my knees, my hair.'' He was now breathing normally but still felt a little off.

''2 things you smell.'' He thought and started laughing hysterically. ''Im in the bathroom so piss and shit of course!'' he almost yelled and kept laughing hard.

The laughing made the panic attack go away pretty quickly. He finally stopped laughing after 3 minutes and got up from the floor.

He took a deep breath, preparing himself for the questions Hermione would ask when he goes back. When he decided he was ready, he got out and walked back to his compartment.

When he reached the door of his compartment, he saw Harry, Hermione and Ron whispering to each other. He slowly opened the door and walked in, not making eye contacts with any of the trio.

''Care to explain what the bloody hell just happened Malfoy?'' Ron asked, still bewildered. If he was being honest, he always thought the Slytherin had no emotions. ''No actually, I don't.'' answered Draco.

They sat in silence till the train arrived at Hogsmade. Draco found the carriage that had Pansy, Blaise and Theo in it and quickly got in.

''Where were you mate? We were worried!'' asked Blaise. ''I couldn't find your compartment so I had to sit with the Gryffindork trio.'' he answered rolling his eyes.

''Oh, sorry Dray.'' answered Pansy and within a few minutes they arrived at Hogwarts. They walked to the Great Hall and after Dumbledore's excruciatingly boring speech, they started eating, except Draco of course.

Pansy shot a few concerned glances at him but shrugged it off. She would keep a close eye on him.

As Draco kept staring down at his empty plate, he felt a pair of eyes burning holes into his skull. He looked up and saw non other than Harry-Bloody-Potter staring at him. Harry broke the eye contact as soon as it occurred. Weird... Draco thought.
