I couldn't explain the anger that was seeping through my body. I felt like my body was imploding, what was Dumbledore on about my safety! What does he know about my safety?! Yes I know that Draco wasn't perfect and of course I knew his parents weren't...exactly perfect but what was I possibly in danger of I was in a place where I cared about someone who cared about me.

I knew I had to speak immediately to Draco, I needed to tell him everything that happened even if he didn't feel he should know.

I charged my way up to the common room, once again I didn't care who was in my path. I had seen red and there was no turning back.

I stormed into my room nearly bursting the door at its seams.

"My god Ivy! You almost took me out!" Pansy jumped back in shock.

"I'm going to fucking kill Harry" my heart felt like it could rip out my chest.

"Now this is the Ivy I like! What's happened?!" She moved her way closer to me.

"He-he told Dumbledore that I-I urgh I can't even- I can't -I can't catch my breath"

"Ok breathe! Just in through your nose and out through your mouth" I felt her hands reach my shoulders but I felt like I couldn't see straight, she leaded me over to my bed but my brain was frazzled and my breath was overpowering my body.

"Ok stay there one second!" I couldn't see straight but I heard Pansy run out the room and the door slam.

My breath was beginning to take over my body, each breath was beginning to hurt. Every intake left a burning sensation in my throat and with each small intake I could take it felt like each breath was getting smaller. I was alone and I felt like I could pass out at any second.

I felt a pressure around my hands but I couldn't see straight or concentrate to realise what was happening.

"Ivy look at me, look at me. Take a breath. Breathe with me" I knew the voice in an instant. It was him and like magic I already felt like I was calming, like everything I needed was there in his touch. I felt the pressure again but this time on my cheek, and with this touch my breath only seemed to calm more.

"You're ok Ivy, I'm here. Pansy is here. We are both here but we need you to calm your breath so we can help you."

"It's ok Ivy, just listen to Draco. We can help you just control your breath."

I felt another touch on my arm, I knew it was Pansy as my vision was becoming clearer.

"I'm ok" I managed to escape in between my breaths

"Good, good ok just breathe deeply." Pansy's voice only calmed me more. Here I was in my room with two people that cared about me so deeply that here they were. Reassuring me, helping me, caring for me.

Both of them watched as I returned to my normal self. I felt the anxiety slowly leave my body allowing only small waves of nerves to penetrate me.

"It's Harry. He told Dumbledore everything about me." I stared at the ground as I continued to catch my breath.

I watched as Draco's face dropped, even though he knew little about what had happened I could see he knew that this wasn't good.

"I'll be right back" he jumped to his feet and began heading for the door.

"Draco wait! Don't leave her right now!" Pansy's face was full of concern, she reached out but was no where near him and he had gone.

"Ivy please tell me what's going on..."

I spent the next 10 minutes telling her what had happened. I knew that this was something I shouldn't just be spreading around especially after what had happened with Harry. I had learnt my lesson that it was so easy for someone to turn on you that easy but Pansy had showed me so much love and so much care. More than I had received off Harry before I had told him, in fact she had opened up to me more than anyone except for Draco.

"Oh my god Ivy.." she reached up and held my hands whilst kneeling on the floor. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I-I don't know, I didn't know who I could tell! I didn't understand...I still don't!" I placed my head in my hands.

"Ivy it's ok, it's all going to be ok. Just because Harry knows that doesn't mean he will tell other people I mean Dumbledore already knew right?" She tightened her grip on my hands

"But what if he does?" I could feel the tears forming in my eyes once more just thinking about the trauma this had already caused me.

"Well if he does, he does but you're one of us. We are never going to let anything happen to you."

The tears flowed like a river, not because of sadness but because of her words. I was one of them. I had lost every last piece of family I had left yet here I was creating a new one.

"Where is Draco?" I brushed the hair that had fallen back into my bun.

"I have no idea, he just stormed out but he didn't look happy. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd gone to find Harry" a sudden rush of guilt flew over me but why?! Why did I feel guilty for someone that was trying their best to fucking ruin my life!

Pansy noticed the change in my face. "Hey! Listen to me he doesn't get to walk all over you and get away with it!"

I nodded my head in slight agreement. I had no idea what was happening but I just wanted Draco back.
