Trigger Warning- panic attack

Harley's POV

"Got any siblings?" Jimmy asked as we walked to the library together.

"I have an older brother but that's it he graduated a couple years ago."

"Oh nice. I have a younger sister. She's a first year."

"Cool. I always wanted a little sister." I giggled while putting my hands behind my back feeling uncomfortable and awkward.

"They're nothing special." He laughed.

"Did you always play quidditch as a kid or did you just fall in love with the sport later?"

"I'm muggle born so no I never played it."

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know. I kind of forget that not everyone had the same type of childhood experience as me." I laughed softly. I forget that being a pureblood made me grow up completely different. Its not that it bothers me being a muggleborn, I dont think blood defines you, I just forget because I'm stupid. I laughed internally at myself before realizing I needed to pay attention to Jimmy.

"It's fine. So you grew up playing?"

"Yeah. I think I was 6 years old when I first flew on a broom. I immediately fell off but hey I tried." Our laughter filled the halls as he opened the door to the library. He put his hand on the small of my back as we walked in making me feel weird to his touch. Jimmy was a good guy and I don't think he ever meant harm but he made me feel uncomfortable by his touch. There are few who do.

"So where do you live. Isn't your mom Irish?"

"Yes my mom is from Ireland but she moved to London before she married my father so we continue to live there. I visit Ireland quite often." We sat down at a table next to a wall, me being the closest, him being a little closer for my liking but I continued to be polite and pretended it didn't bother me. "So quidditch, I could go grab that book of quidditch plays."

"Maybe in a little bit. I thought that knowing each other better might help." I never noticed how big his ego was. He knew girls found him attractive and he thought he could use his charm with me.

Does someone want to tell him that if the special Blaise Zabinis charm doesn't work on me his especially wont?

"There's not much else to know about me." I gave him a small smile. I don't let people know about my personal life for reasons. If people knew what goes on through my mind and what I have done there perception of me would be different. His arm moved from the back of my chair to my waist causing me to scoot forward up against the table.

"There's nothing else to know about you? What about a love life?"

"Don't have one." I shook my head. I wanted to get out of the chair he kept leaning closer but the wall was right there and I would have more control being in that seat than being up against a wall.

I heard the door open and I looked up meeting my eyes with Binis. For once I felt relieved when he came in. I was hoping he would see my cry for help. Jimmy's hand started crawling up my leg and I grabbed his hand forcing it back to my knee as I moved back.

"What's wrong?" He asked innocently as if he didn't know that he was bothering me.

"I'm just uncomfortable."

"Why?" He pulled me closer trying to make me feel better which caused my heart to speed up and my body heat to increase. My chest felt heavy and I couldn't find air.

"Hey leave her alone." Bini said firmly while grabbing Jimmy's arm and throwing him out of the way pulling me up. I happily took his arms trying to find something that could comfort me. My vision couldn't make anything out in front of me.
