Pack of two pv Michael M. finished

Henry now regretted asking Micheal about his anxiety because as the boy talked he could sense him avoiding his eyes and that he might not have like to talk about which caused Henry to regret asking the boy which allowed for the thoughts to spiral around his head as he worried about messing up his relationship with the fellow slytherin and friend or even ruining their friendship as he felt his anxiety increase and worries spiral around his head he still somehow listened to him.

When Michael finished and Henry felt as if silence overtook the two, there was something he did want to. Henry wanted to help the boy and comfort him, he wanted to let Michael knew that they could talk about anything he was dealing with and Henry would always be there to support his slytherin friend but how? He didn't know.

Henry brushed a hand in his hair and more silence until he spoke " I'm sorry Michael, I know that probably means nothing but I am. You didn't deserve that, no one does. Your grandparents sound like they were amazing and if you want whenever you want you know you can talk about them," Henry offered a small smile toward Michael before saying " where do you live now mate? If you want maybe I could see if you could stay with me for part of the summer holiday if you wanted to?" Henry looked at Michael and smiled toward him, he really did want to help the boy.

Henry set his books in the stack besides him then turned toward Michael as he listened to him talk about his grandparents and a wave of sadness washed over him. The boy's anxiety usually helped him hide his emotions or stress out about things but this time it was neither hidden or stressing out but more like sadness and guilt for the boy with a strong desire to help him as he nodded toward him and listened to each word that he said about his grandparents and where he lives after and how he sleeps in the library.

" You sleep in a library? That can't be to bad, knowledge sitting all around you," Henry spoke with a thin smile in attempts to cheer up his slytherin friend before adding " didn't you say before that you had a few sisters? Are you close with any of them?"

When Michael asked about staying at his house over the summer holiday that allowed for Henry's smile to grow as he reassured the boy, " yes sleep, eat, and everything. We have a spare room but fair warning their a bit small since our home in Liverpool is small. You won't get in the way Mike plus it will be bloody amazing to have you over since my father is almost never home and at the ministry, my brother will probably be to busy with his auror examination but still and won't mind while my twin is well she isn't around much so if you want to then you can stay with me."

Talking with @Michael Miller

Henry listened to Michael talk about his sisters and noticed he was picking at his nails not that Henry brought it up instead he spoke " maybe once they come to Hogwarts then you can bond or grow closer with them?" The twelve year old would smile at his friend and hope that his suggestion wouldn't cause the boy to become upset or anything.

As the conversation changed to over the summer and visiting, Henry nodded to his concerns before saying " whenever you want, you can come and just a few days before I'll let my father know," smiling at the boy before continuing " that's sweet you want to help your sister with Hogwarts, maybe school is where you guys will become close?"

" Since my family was there when we were attack, they all know but they don't care. As for friends only a few close ones know so around six people counting you Mike at Hogwarts knows," Henry answered his friend's question before asking one himself " why do you ask Mike? Doesn't your family know about your furry problem?" That was a thought that haunted his mind and maybe even felt worse for his slytherin friend because he knew how hard this condition to be so to keep it to yourself and not have anyone to confide in can be devastating.

Mike could feel the boy looking at his hands, as he picked at his nails, and was glad the boy didn't say anything about it. He looked up back at the other boy, "Hopefully, though I don't think we'll ever really bond" he said.

Back on the summer topic, he smiled, "I can't wait, I wanna see where the great Henry grew up." He joked slightly. He flushed when Henry commented on him wanting to help his sister, "I'm just being nice" he said though this time as he looked down he was smiling.

Mikey looked up, just as Henry started to answer his question, on the little secret they both hid. He listened and felt jealous of the other boy. "My parents know, as do my grandparents. My siblings don't, but i guess they just know that something is wrong, i mean . . different with me." He said and brought his knees up to his chest.

"Henry i think my family hates me" he said, his voice cracking slightly. "They told me not to come home for the holidays, and I know my mother had the baby, because my father was the one who sent to owl to not come, and I. ." he stopped and hid his face. He was problary overreacting, making something out of nothing, but he was scared. He had just lost his granny and papa, he couldn't lose the rest of his family.

@Michael Miller

"There's still chance that you will once they come to Hogwarts, no one really knows what the future holds for us Mike," Henry smiled at Michael sincerely and meant it since he knew his friend only deserved good in his life after everything he has been through. Hearing his next comment however, Henry laughed a bit while brushing back his hair and saying " I grew up in godric hollow so you won't see where I grew up but Liverpool is still nice to explore," letting his thoughts linger a bit on his memories back in godric hollow.

Watching him bring his knees to his chest when he said that his siblings didn't know but still wanted to be nice them, Henry smiled warmly at Michael before saying "maybe one day you'll tell them and that will be what makes you closer with them," smiling at Michael but not expecting his next words although he was taken back.

Henry still gave him a soft smile and placed his hand gently on his shoulder before speaking quite softly "your family doesn't hate you Mike, how can they hate you. Your a kind, intelligent, funny, handsome guy who you can't hate. Perhaps they don't understand you or maybe it's something to do with the baby but Mike-" pausing as Henry looked into Michael's eyes before speaking again " they don't hate you, trust me. Some have a weird way of showing their love but they don't hate you, just give it sometime okay?"

@Michael Miller

Taken back by his words and sudden hug after a few seconds Henry hugged the boy back with the opposite arm around Michael's waist and shoulder before replying " thanks but your also amazing to Mike, just some people need more time to see that," before going back to hugging his friend and fellow slytherin for a few more moments where he was surprised no one interrupted them however when they finally broke apart from their hug, Henry ran a hand through his hair when he laughed a bit at Michael's comment.

"I was listing your quality's Mike," Henry spoke with a laughed before he continued with a joke " would you have preferred me say average looking then," laughing a bit as he tucked one leg under the other sort of glad to have met Michael at that slytherin table that day and more than glad that the two became friends and bunk mates since he could see that Michael was a great friend something that Henry didn't have a lot of especially in slytherin so he was happy that he had at least on close on not just in his own house but also in his own dorm as he smiled at Michael.
