Draco
I didn't know what to do. He wouldn't stop rocking back and forth. I was gonna say something when the compartment door opened. I looked up and saw Granger and Weasley. It didn't look good for sure. Me sitting in a compartment with Harry and him panicking and distressed. ''OI!'' Weasley said. He grabbed me by the throat and pushed me to the other side of the compartment, away from Harry. ''What did you do to Harry, Malfoy?!'' Weasley roared. I held up my hands and shook my head since no words would come out of my mouth. Granger was trying to soothe Harry and he shook his head vigorously still gripping his hair ''stop it stop it stop it'' he started repeating. ''I....didn't..... do......anything'' I gasped out turning purple and clawing at the hands around my throat. ''Ron put him down'' said Granger looking scared. He put me down reluctantly, crossed his arms, and glared at me. I gulped in big breathes of air and rubbed my throat. Harry was still rocking back and forth. Granger was still trying to comfort him, but it didn't help. I went over to him and Granger stood up and walked over to Weasley and began trying to calm him down. I sat next to Harry. I held him in my arms again and he tensed again until relaxing and started to full out sob into my chest. Granger and Weasley stared at me in shock. ''What'' I said holding back the temptation to smirk at them instead I looked at them expectantly. ''Is there something on my face Granger, Wealsey?'' I said looking at each of them in turn. ''Call me Hermione'' Gran- Hermione said. Weasley just grumbled and looked away. Harry eventually stopped crying and fell asleep again in my arms and was clutching my robes in his hands.

Harry
I felt like a fool. I had broken down in front of Draco. Ron had hurt Draco because he thought Draco had hurt me. I made Hermione worried. I had shown weakness in front of my only friends and a potential friend. Me!! The world's favorite golden boy!! The boy who lived, the chosen one the list goes on and on!! They wouldn't want me now, would they? Sure they tried to help me, but now they know that I'm not as strong as everyone puts me as. That I'm weak. They'd surely leave me now. They don't want me, they want the boy who lived, the boy who defeated Voldemort as a baby not Harry Potter, but then again I was a 'liar' in the public eye like the ministry says since I said Sirius was innocent and Peter Pettigrew was alive. To top off the day as well I had fallen asleep in Draco's arms, after breaking down in front of him twice. I had no nightmares or dreams, it was just pitch black. I would have to wait and see what my friends would do when I woke up. I'm not sure what they're going to do. I'll have to wait a find out...
