Draco's POV:
Between Alex disappearing and my task with the Vanishing cabinet I decided to go to the only place that kept me calm... the Astronomy Tower. As I walk up the stairs I hear muffled cries that got louder and louder the closer I got.
It was Alex.
Alex's POV:
I didn't plan on staying long. As I leaned against the railing I stared at the ongoing forest. How little everyone would look like from my view. How simple everything used to be when I first arrived at Hogwarts. Before I knew it I broke down crying.

"I can't take it anymore" I mumble shaking back and forth.
Before I knew it I couldn't breath.
The walls started to close in on me, as my chest started rising faster and faster.
"I can't. I can't" I started panicking as I get dizzier.
Draco's POV: Start the sound at 1:05
For my sake and Alex's I pretended I didn't know it was her.
"Who is it" I say as I get closer
No response.
"Helloo. Who is it." I say as I turn the corner.
I never expected her to be in this state.
There she was with her head in her knees, but now she was looking up at me with runny mascara and her big blue eyes, rocking herself back and forth.
"Draco help" she calls out my name before her breathing got shallow and ragged again
That's when it hit me. She was having a panic attack.
I quickly sat down next to her as a pull her into a hug.
"I don't" she tries to finish her sentence but her breathing gets in the way.
"Shhhh I got you" I reply.
"Close your eyes"
She shakes her head saying no.
"Alex please."
She closes her eyes as I bring her tiny hand into mine and place it close to my heart.
"Follow with me baby"
After a few minutes of deep breathing she calmed down. I was about to say something but she ran out not even daring to look at me.
Alex's POV:
I didn't know what to do until I saw someone standing in front of me.
"Draco help" I managed to get out.
He quickly sat next to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"I don't" I-
I couldn't even finish my sentence.
"Shhhhh I got you" he says as he pulls me into his arms.
I wish I was in him arms more often. How could someone be so scary one day and comforting the next. I started to feel even more scared. I felt sick to my stomach. Off all people why did Draco want to help me. It doesn't make sense.
After a few minutes I finally calmed down. He tries to say something but I run away before he has the chance to. I was not ready to hear his snarky remarks. As I was running back to my dorm thousands of questions ran through my head. What if this... what if that. I quietly enter my room to see Pansy is sleeping. Perfect I say as I enter the bathroom. I pull out my journal and start writing for today acting as if it was a normal day.

Now that's better I think to myself as I get ready for bed. That's when I hear a knock on the door. I went to open it and that's when I see Draco standing in front of me. Draco Malfoy was standing at my doorstep as 2 in the morning after I had a panic attack.
"Hey Alex. Can we talk?" he said gesturing for me to come outside with him.
"I don't think that's the best idea Draco" I say but ofc he wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Alex I said this once and I'll say it again. We. Need. To. Talk." He says a final time.
