——Harry Potter——

Harry has many legitimate things to be afraid of, so whenever he gets anxious over something irrational he doesn't wnat anyone to know. However, he is very scared of the ocean. It just seems like so many things could and do go wrong there, and he already puts himself in enough danger as it is. Fighting death eaters? Piece of cake. Going further into the ocean than dipping his feet in? Absolutely no way that is happening. You and him had plans to go on a boat, and he decided not to mention his intense fear of the ocean because he knew you were excited about going. You can tell he's a little nervous just by the way he meticulously reads over the salty precautions and by his general demeanor as you're getting on the boat. He seems okay for the first 20ish minutes, still looking a little pale but calming down a bit. However he's been holding your hand the entire time and refuses to let go. After a few particularly rough waves crash against the sides of the boat you feel his grip tighten and hear him whimper so, so quietly. You glance up at him and see his body shaking as he stares at the water, grimacing and teary eyed. "Haz, baby, what is it?" He tried to speak but the words kept getting stuck, so he just nodded towards the ocean and stopped closer to you, burying his face in the crook of your neck. "You don't like the ocean, do you?" You ask sympathetically, wishing he'd said something earlier and wasn't putting himself through this. "Not really," he mutters into your skin. Soon enough the waves go back to normal and you can convince him to let you walk away for a few minutes. You go to ask the captain if they could bring you two back in, as you were the only two on the boat anyway. They agreed, and you went back out to sit with Harry, helping him enjoy the experience to the best of his ability.

——Ron Weasley——

We all know Ron is terrified of spiders, but in addition to that he is not a big fan of medical needles. They just seem so backwards to him, that in order to help you have to do something that looks so scary and hurts a little bit. It's not something that will keep him from getting a shot when he needs it, he's much more afraid of spiders that he is of needles, but if he can avoid it he definitely will. It's much easier for him if some can sit with him while he gets it done. As a kid, Molly would sit beside him and have him squeeze her hand for years and years, and still as an adult he always wishes she was there when he goes to the doctor. Now, he tries to make doctor's appointments at times when you can come and sit in the waiting with him. Most of the times nurses will let you come sit with him when it's time for him to get any shots, so he'll hold your hand and stare at you, trying to pretend nothing else is happening. "You look really pretty today, y/n," he whispers, looking intently into your eyes. "And that hospital gown looks absolutely dashing on you, sir," you chuckle. You hear the nurse giggle as he's injecting the needle, Ron asked him not to warn him at all. Ron starts to talk to you about your day, not even realizing the shot is finished u til the nurse tells him he's all set as he sticks a bandage on Ron's arm. The boy is shocked, and tells everyone he sees for the rest of the day that he didn't even feel it. He's very proud of himself, and thanks you for helping him through it everytime he mentions it.
