I don’t think ya’ll are ready for all my Draco feels but here we go!
- Why I like them: Draco is my favorite character possibly of all time. Obviously this doesn’t really make sense to most people because he was considered a pretentious twat, but I have literally dissected every single one of his actions and the character is just so perfect to me. I liked Draco off the bat because he was overly confident. Yes, he was a bit arrogant, but honestly, who isn’t at some points? He is the example that people like that on the outside are hurting on the inside the majority of the time. He is that popular douche bag that everybody hates who is secretly hating himself. I really love how Draco developed as a character and as he grew, we got to see more and more of his insecurities. I like him because he just felt real to me. The way he acted, the choices he made- they weren’t unrealistic. I also like him because he is proof that there is sometimes more than one right choice. While most people think he made all the wrong choices or didn’t have a choice at all- well I disagree with both of these assessments. I think he did make a choice and he chose family in the end, even when he knew deep down that they were on the wrong side. He made the choice to wimp out, not kill Dumbledore, not reveal Harry. I don’t see this as wimping out. Wimping out would have been doing exactly what the Dark Lord had asked him to do for his own life. But no- he rebelled in his own little ways and people take that away from him all the time. I like him because of the choices he made and I like him because he isn’t some hero. He has flaws and insecurities- don’t we all? I like him because he is real.
- Why I don’t: It’s really hard for me to pick out things I don’t like about Draco because of how much I love his character, but he has flaws. I wish he was less of a douche bag most of the time because, honestly, if I went to Hogwarts we probably wouldn’t have been friends. I probably would have told him his place. And I just feel like there is somebody underneath who is hurting and I don’t like the way he covers it up- but I believe that was taught from childhood and that’s a whole different story. So I don’t like when he’s arrogant or trying to impress the people around him opposed to the broken side of him that I just want to fix.
- Favorite episode/scene: The astronomy tower scene.
- Favorite line: Going for the quote from the Half Blood Prince movie: “I have to do this. I have to kill you. Or he’s gunna kill me…”
- Favorite outfit: JFC the suit though in the end of Half Blood Prince god unf.
- OTP: Drarry. I think everybody knows my feels about this, but just to recap: I think they come from two sides of the same coin. I think they are the perfect balance to each other. I think they are the only two who can really understand where each other are coming from because they both were forced to make choices and both suffered and in the end I think they can save each other.
- Non-romantic OTP: After reading too much fic, I like the idea of him and Ginny being friends, but I like his relationship with Pansy and Blaise.
- Headcanon: After the war, Draco tries to redeem himself in some way to save his family’s name. He really tries to make amends and works his way from the bottom up.
- Unpopular opinion: I think it was crucial that Harry did not shake his hand that first day.
- A wish for them: To gain his dignity back by working his way up to the top without any use of his name. Maybe even in the damn muggle world. That would be sweet!
- An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen for them: For him to go back to putting up that wall he built so well. For him to really break because he refuses to let people in and refuses to stop being arrogant to cover up his issues.
- 5 words to best describe them: Real, Insecure, Broken, Loyal, and Fundamental
- My nickname for them: My lover, my life, my shawty, my
wifehusband
