Talk To Me

by facelesswriting

While finishing their education, the 8th years are picking up the pieces of their lives, but Harry's world is still crashing down around his ears. As he spirals apart, even the most unlikely people are banding together to keep him sane, but will he ever recover? And will he ever find his voice again? (TW for self-harm, panic attacks, and depression)

5. Chapter 5

5- Narrator POV

Hermione was gone when he woke up so the bed was empty. She hadn't been gone very long though because the bed was still warm. Harry rolled until his feet hit the ground. It was always weird waking up after a good cry, feeling empty and groggy but clean. He walked to the common room and didn't see her, but heard the shower going. He knew there was probably a curtain and she wouldn't care anyway so he pushed open the door to use the bathroom. As he was washing his hands, he heard the water shut off and the curtain pull open. Harry caught a glimpse of Malfoy's surprised face before the curtain snapped shut again.

"What the fuck Potter!"

Malfoy heard the door click shut as Harry must have left and felt remorse flash through him as he was blinded by a picture of the outside of the blue shower curtain and a strong sense of the Granger girl and understood that Potter was trying to tell him he was sorry and that he'd thought it was Granger in the shower. He brushed the weird feeling off, preferring confusion.
