Big Boys Don’t Cry

When he was one

And cracked his rib on a ‘table’

He didn’t utter a sound.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was two

And burnt his arm when he ‘bumped’ into the fireplace

He was silent.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was three

And ‘accidentally’ fell down the stairs

He didn’t even sob.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was four

And ‘ran into a door’

He just sat there quietly.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was five

And was found half-alive by his house elf

He remained silent.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was six

And got bruised after being pelted with kicks

He just ran to his room.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was seven

And he walked in on his father ‘disciplining’ his mother

He just hushed her tears.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was eight

And had ‘tripped’ into a gate

He never once let a tear trickle down his pale face.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was nine

And found out his mother had been pregnant but lost the baby after his father had beaten her

He didn’t mourn for his dead brother or sister.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was ten

And had his leg broken just because he had played with a muggle-born

He merely scowled at the floor.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

When he was eleven

And got accepted into Hogwarts (even though his mother wanted him to go to Durmstang as he would be further away from his father)

He nearly cried, not out of sorrow but because he was so happy, but he didn’t.

Why?

Because big boys don’t cry.

Now all those years have passed, and he’s twenty-two

He’s being tortured to death by Lord Voldermort for being a spy for the light side,

And the last thing he hears before he takes his last breath is his father whispering in his ear,

“Now now Draco, Remember, Big boys don’t cry.”

Like it? Hate it? Tell me!
