scene context: you have an extreme phobia of public speaking/talking to certain people (including teachers in a class setting), so when in public, you don't talk to people at all. in private, you are able to talk to your chosen character and your friend group. one day, in class, you are randomly singled out by your professor to answer a question and you freeze up, unable to speak. that night, you and your chosen character are talking and they ask if you're okay. 

Draco Malfoy:

⛤ "it's my anxiety. it always gets the best of me when i'm in public," you say, mumbling

⛤he cups your face with both hands and makes you look at him

⛤"it's okay, love. i'll be beside you through it, okay?"

⛤ hugs you tight and makes sure you know that he isn't going to leave you

Mattheo Riddle:

⛤"i don't know, matt. i just get so nervous and anxious when i'm with people i don't know."

⛤immediately pulls you into a hug and lets you rest your head on his shoulder

⛤"that's perfectly fine. i'm not going to pressure you into anything you don't feel comfortable with."

⛤listens patiently as you tell him everything

Tom Riddle:

⛤is initially confused because he isn't used to the idea of anxiety or being anxious/nervous

⛤"i want you to tell me more, angel."

⛤ sits beside you as you tell him, and just admires you as well

⛤once you're done, he nods in understanding and gently takes your hands in his, "i'm here for you, always."

Theodore Nott:

⛤ completely understands when you tell him why you don't talk in public

⛤ hugs you, his grip soft on you as he rested his head atop yours

⛤ "i understand, amore. and i want you to know that i'm right here for you."

⛤ hugs you for as long as you want to comfort you

Lorenzo Berkshire:

⛤ "my anxiety, enzo. it overwhelms me sometimes."

⛤he just nods, sitting beside you and rubbing your back

⛤ "it's okay, love. we can work through this, but i won't force you to do anything."

⛤ you smile and hug him tightly

Blaise Zabini:

⛤ "do you get nervous?" he asks, and you nod, fixing your gaze to the ground

⛤ he hooks his index under your chin and tilts your head up to meet his stare

⛤ you smile awkwardly, and he smiles genuinely, "that's okay, ma. it will be okay."

⛤ "thank you, blaise. but i just don't know how to make it okay." you say, and he pulls you into a hug, reassuring you 

Pansy Parkinson:

⛤ she can tell you're uncomfortable and envelops you in a hug, "we don't have to talk about it." 

⛤ "no it's okay," you murmur, "i just get really nervous, and i just freeze up."

⛤ tightens her grip on you and whispers in your ear, "that's perfectly fine, love. i won't force you to talk or anything. i just wanted to know if you're okay." 

⛤ you nod and tilt your head, resting it completely on her shoulder and melting into her touch

QUESTION: which of the Slytherins would be the most understanding?

              ────── ∘◦ ⛤☽⛤ ◦∘ ──────

P.S: i did some research on selective mutism and the cause is yet to be determined by scientists. according to them, the main causes tends to be anxiety and an EXTREME social fear. there are, of course, more causes such as emotional/physical/psychological trauma, but to keep this as general as i could, i chose the 'main' causes. sorry if these depictions are not accurate as they are solely based on google research.

i know the scene context and the P.S are a bit long, but i think that this is something that should be discussed and delved into PROPERLY, because i don't want to inaccurately describe anything <3

feel free to leave ideas for the next reacts/imagines in the comments, or just any commentary in general!

don't forget to leave a vote if you liked this chapter! xx

love,
