And it really irks me a lot.

Update: Man, I have gotten tons of great responses here and a lot of activity. The comments section turned out way better than Reddit. Thank you all! <3

    Hey look, there it is again in the one I’m at now. Hermoine to Potter: “What’s wrong with your hand?” Potter: “Nothing.” (This was the Dolores torture). Hermoine actually finds out, which is refreshing. “You’ve got to tell Dumbledore.” Harry: “No. Dumbledore’s got enough on his mind right now.” Freaking stupid, Harry.

    This “is anything happening?” “No, nothing.” exchange with Potter is constant in this series.

      Dude the ball tops of my thigh bones were literally sliding off the bones (they failed to fuse for me) in middle school. I was limping and would have insane attacks if pain when they moved a fraction of a millimeter.

      Parents, teachers, friends: what’s wrong? Me: nothing

      Kids hiding bad things is the most real part.

        People hide important things for dumb reasons in the real world, but it’s unsatisfying, lazy and overused in fiction. Especially in HP.

        Oh no no… I was the opposite. I was a whiny little bitch. Broke a finger nail? “Moooooooooom!!!”
