Foreword
Harry Potter May have escaped death not once but twice, but accepting death has been something he has thought about a lot after the wizarding war. He may have defeated the all-powerful Lord Voldemort, but that shall forever be on his conscious along with the deaths of his family, friends and all others who lost their lives for him. However, every time he gets close to the edge, he has his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger to bring him back to stable ground. And Harry is thankful for that.
Draco Malfoy has seen just as much death, felt just as much pain and shares the same feelings as Harry. Yet, Harry has one thing that Draco does not, and it could be the difference between life and death.
Draco doesn't have a Ron or Hermione.
So if Draco starts to careen over the edge, no one will be there to stop him from falling. No one will stop the hurt. No one will stop the crash of the waves, the storm in his ears, the air from escaping his eyes.
No one will help him catch his breath.
