First Person

Acousticophobia: the fear of loud noises such as yelling, guns, whistles, etc.. 

Yelling is one of my biggest fears. The yelling doesn't have to be towards me, though. If I hear yelling in general it makes me want to cry till I have no tears left to shed (if you make an ariana grande joke consider yourself dead to me). It's weird because my parents never fought and no one yelled at me when I was a kid, so it's not really expected for me to have that fear.

Whenever I hear yelling I get dizzy and would either faint or just fall. Of course, before that happens to me I make sure to sit down and calm myself before I cause a scene and collapse. I've never told anyone in Hogwarts about this fear except for Dumbledore. Fortunately, he took it into consideration and instead of yelling 'silence' he projects it. That's also weird because I'm afraid of yelling but not projecting, it's like my brain can tell the difference and would react differently.

It was fourth year and everything was going great. Well, not for Harry Potter . . . but it is for me. I was walking to Defence Against the Dark Arts class when I was stopped by my boyfriend Draco Malfoy. He asked me out last year and since then we were the closest to each other. I told him about my fear and he accepted me and always kept his voice soft around me just in case he triggers anything which I was so entirely grateful for.

"Hey, babe. You forgot you Potions book in my room yesterday," he said, handing me my book.

"Thanks, Draco. I'll see you at lunch," I said and pecked his lips while taking my book. We said our goodbyes and walked back to our classes.

My fear hasn't been triggered in three whole years. Hopefully nothing triggers it anymore.

"I DIDN'T PUT MY NAME IN THAT GOBLET! I DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL DID, OKAY?!" Harry yelled. I was in an empty corridor when I bumped into Harry for the first time since the Triwizard Tournament champion selection.

"H-Harry I get it, I –" I tried talking but he cut me off.

"NO! WHY ARE YOU ACCUSING ME?!" Harry yelled. I can already feel the tears welling up in my eyes and the little blurry specks clouding my vision.

"I-I was just asking how you did if you did. . ."

"JUST SHUT UP! FOR MERLIN'S SAKE, Y/N, JUST SHUT U –" But before I could hear anything else I felt myself collapse then everything turned black. I should've sat down when I could've.

"What? Oh fuck. Fuck. What happened?" Harry panicked. What had he done?

"Potter! Have you seen my gir–" And that's when Draco Lucius Malfoy completely lost it. He saw Y/N laying on the floor in front of a sweating Harry Potter.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, POTTER?!" Draco stormed over to Y/n, making sure to shove Harry on the way, and picked her up bridal style.

Harry was still in shock while he said, "Sh-She asked me how I managed to put my name in the Goblet of Fire. I snapped at her and started yelling. . . I don't know what I did wrong."

"SHE HAS A FUCKING PHOBIA OF YELLING! ACOUSTICOPHOBIA!" Draco – ironically – yelled.

"I-I'm sorry I–" Before Harry could finish Draco was already walking away. He took her into the hospital winged and explained to Madame Pomfrey how Y/N just fainted from exhaustion. 

First Person

I woke up slowly, not feeling very peaceful. I felt a finger stroking my hand and looked down to see Draco.

"Shit. Ugh, I should've sat down! There was all the space for me to sit down!" I groaned.

"Hey. Y/n, it's okay. It's not your fault, don't worry. You're fine now, alright? That's all that matters," Draco said, his voice soft and sincere.

"Yeah. Yeah, okay. Thank you, Draco." I smiled.

"Of course, love." He smiled back and connected our lips.

Who knew Draco Malfoy had such a soft side.
