His relationship with his teachers and mentors could also be affected. They might be concerned about his emotional state but find it difficult to reach out to him. Dumbledore, for example, who has always been somewhat of a guiding figure for Harry, may struggle to help him if Harry refuses to let his emotions show. This could lead to a breakdown in the trust and communication that they previously had.
In terms of his romantic relationships, if there are any in the fanfiction, it could be a major obstacle. Shutting out emotions means he may not be able to fully open up to a potential partner. This lack of emotional availability can make it difficult for the relationship to develop. For example, if he has feelings for Ginny, his inability to express his emotions might make Ginny feel unwanted or unloved, even though Harry might actually care deeply.
It could also be related to his self - preservation in the wizarding society. In a world full of magic and danger, showing too much emotion might be seen as a weakness. Harry, being aware of this, decides to shut out his emotions to appear stronger. He has faced a lot of scrutiny and jealousy from some students and even some adults in the wizarding world. By suppressing his emotions, he hopes to be more respected and less of a target.
Ron, on the other hand, might feel a bit betrayed. He's always been close to Harry on an emotional level, and seeing Harry turn off his emotions could make him think that Harry doesn't care about their friendship as much anymore. But in the long run, they would probably try to find a way to bring Harry back to his normal self.
Well, it could enhance his friendships. For example, he'd be able to tell when Ron or Hermione were feeling down and offer immediate comfort. It might also make his enemies more wary of him, as he could sense their malicious intents. He could use this ability to his advantage in the wizarding battles, being able to anticipate his opponents' moves based on their emotions.
Well, it would likely make his friendships very strained. His friends might feel constantly shut out. For example, when they're excited about something, Harry's lack of emotional response would be off - putting. They might start to doubt if he really cares about them at all.
Well, in his relationships, it causes a lot of confusion. His friends may try to communicate their emotions to him, but he just doesn't get it. This can lead to misunderstandings and even arguments. In a romantic relationship, it would be even more difficult. He might not understand the concept of compromise or how to make his partner feel special. Since he doesn't understand emotions, he could end up making his partner feel unloved or unappreciated.
Well, it affects his relationships in a rather complex way. Since Harry doesn't understand emotions, he may come across as aloof or uncaring to those around him. His friends might feel neglected or unappreciated because he doesn't pick up on their emotional needs. This could lead to a strain in his friendships. Also, in romantic relationships, it would be a huge obstacle as he would struggle to empathize with his partner's feelings, making the relationship lopsided and potentially unsustainable.
Romantically, it can be a huge obstacle. If Harry has feelings for someone, like Ginny, his inability to express emotions would make it hard for her to know where she stands. She might feel unloved or unwanted, even if Harry has strong feelings for her inside. This could lead to misunderstandings and potential break - ups.
In this fanfiction scenario, Harry's relationship with Dumbledore could be very interesting. Dumbledore would surely be aware of the significance of Excalibur. He might take Harry under his wing even more, guiding him on how to use the sword's power for good. Harry's relationship with the other Hogwarts students could also change. Some might look up to him even more, while others might fear him because of the great power he now wields.
If Harry is sleepwalking, it might worry his friends. For example, Hermione would probably be very concerned and try to find a way to stop it. This could strengthen their friendship as she devotes time to helping him. Ron, on the other hand, might initially find it funny but then also realize the seriousness. It could also make some of his classmates more curious about him, which could either bring them closer or create some distance depending on how they react to his sleepwalking episodes.
It might make his relationships more interesting. If he reads fanfiction that has unique takes on his friendships, like a story that shows a deeper bond between him and Hermione, he could be more conscious of those relationships in real life and try to strengthen them further.
