7/4- Fear
Harry would never tell anyone that he had wet his pants when he faced down the basilisk. No one could have noticed, through all the grime and blood that covered him. But no one could know that he was afraid. Even at only twelve, Harry understood that fear was unacceptable. It wasn't allowed- not for him.
He had to be strong for everybody who couldn't be. He couldn't bow his head, and he couldn't show fear.
He had to face down Voldemort and basilisks and save lives.
So he pretended he wasn't a child.
That he wasn't afraid.
