Now the paper crane wasn't exactly /fond/ of being crumpled and left there, forgotten after the message as been written and seemingly not wanting to be delivered. But this crane was a rather stubborn one, as stubborn as the wizard that had sent it, and so it slowly flattened itself out before folding back into its original form. Granted, it was a bit more difficult now. With a hop, skip, jump! The crane took off in a slightly lopsided flight to deliver the message within. -
It was around morning when it returned, this time with a much larger friend. All for a reason of course, as it was not only carrying a message, but a small package. As passive aggressive as any paper crane that got crumpled could be, it directed the much larger crane to drop the chocolate frog box onto the sleeping boy's head ( luckily not his face ). Talk about rude awakenings. Then with a small jerk of it's paper head, the once crumpled crane took to resting on Draco's nightstand. Once there, it unfolded to reveal the message written inside. "I asked for it to go to someone that needed a friend and it found you. Here's a chocolate frog to make things better. The crane didn't like being crumpled by the way. You should try being nice to it. p.s. paper cuts hurt." ( passive aggressive paper crane will cut u draco, be careful )______________________________________________
Draco wasn’t particularly HARD to wake up in the mornings - especially when he’d had enough hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep. Lately, though, he had slept anything but WELL and after restlessly lying awake for hours, listening to his roommates’ soft SNORES ( or not so soft, but that could be helped ), getting up on time presented itself much HARDER. Usually it was the general COMMOTION in the dorm room that woke him, but this morning it was something else.
He startled AWAKE, confused at first as to what had woken him, but quickly noticed the little PACKAGE on his pillow. Instinctively, his hand reached up to rub the spot where the box had HIT him. The first thought that came to Draco’s sleep-drunken mind was that one of the others had THROWN something at him, but a quick look at the other beds revealed that he was the ONLY one awake. He sat up, his duvet falling down to his hip, leaving him SHIVERING lightly in the cool morning air.
He rubbed his eyes and YAWNED heartily before collecting the box off the pillow, leaving the crane on its own for now, but side-eyeing it SUSPICIOUSLY. He had always been the kind of person to first open a PRESENT and then reading the card attached to it. PRIORITIES.
It didn’t take a lot of UNWRAPPING to figure out that he was holding a chocolate frog in hands and after biting its HEAD off, before it had a chance to jump to its freedom, he put it back on the bed. The small CARD inside the frog box revealed an empty picture, underlined by the name ‘Albus Dumbledore’. OF COURSE it was Dumbledore. At least he didn’t have to look at his face first thing in the morning, seeing as the PHOTOGRAPH of the headmaster seemed to have decided that there were better things to do than being PRESENT when Draco opened his box.
Finally, Draco picked up the CRANE, unfolding it carefully and quite possibly even more curious than the FIRST time. His eyes moved over the parchment, the slowly awakening thoughts in his head turning into QUESTIONS. Hadn’t he thrown that bird AWAY at the library? How had the sender of this message received his reply when no one but HIM had been at the library at the time? And most importantly, who was so EAGER to help a complete stranger that they sent chocolate frogs and anonymous LETTERS around the castle at this time of the day?
Draco had just reread the note for the third time when it slipped through his fingers as if caught by a sudden DRAUGHT, cutting his skin in two places and causing him to HISS in pained surprise. His jaw clenched as he looked at his fingers where two thin lines of BLOOD began to appear. For a moment the urge to grab the crane and rip it in HALF arose, but something kept Draco from doing so. And it wasn’t hard to GUESS what that was.
He wanted to REPLY and this was his only way to do so.
Leaving the crane and the rest of the chocolate frog on the BED for a moment he got up to get his quill and ink from his bag at the end of his bed. It was still somewhat DARK in the room, but Draco’s eyes were quickly getting used to the dim light and soon he saw ENOUGH to be able to scribble a reply on the back of the parchment. He only managed to produce a few lines, but it took him far LONGER than he was willing to admit; quite a few breaks and moments of HESITATION interrupting the process.
‘ I didn’t know it would fly back to you. The chocolate was good - the card not so much. Are you collecting them? If you do, I doubt you’re still missing Dumbledore, but you can have him. I stopped collecting the cards years ago.
Why are you up so early? P.S. Thanks for the warning. A little to late. ’
Once he had finished WRITING he put the quill away and exchanged it for the wand lying on his bedside table. He HESITATED, wondering if this might interfere with the spell that had sent the crane to him in the first place, but then decided that it was probably SAFE. Remembering the spell he had used for Potter a while ago he waved his wand speaking the WORDS that would turn the stretched out parchment back into a little crane. Then he picked up the card of DUMBLEDORE and put it inside one of the crane’s folded parts, making sure it couldn’t FALL OUT. Unsure about what to do next he lowered his wand and stared at the bird, waiting to see what would happen ( and silently HOPING that it would fly out of the room the way it had come in, delivering his message and perhaps RETURNING with another reply ).
----It wasn’t EXCITEMENT he was feeling, oh no. This was pure and simple CURIOSITY. It was probably someone he didn’t want to actually MEET sending these letters anyway. Not that it MATTERED.

The abuse thing was made by the fanon, not canon....
not to mention everything is seen from harry’s point of view, so some underlying details will NEVER be approached.
Bless! That is a really valid point and a great addition to my argument. The books are biased and Draco is presented as one of the antagonists. He is simply refused any redeeming actions or qualities because that is not his function in the narrative.
Also, aside from all this, I am actually glad that Rowling chose not to make Draco redeem himself by the end of the books but rather let him disappear from the story the way he came into it. Because that is realistic. Not every jerk you will meet in your life will somehow magically turn nicer when it’s called for - most assholes stay assholes, because that is just easier. Or more fun. Or both.
No worries about replies, silly goose! But I hope you don't get any angry anons into your box!
I do have mild regrets ever replying to that post in the first place - but I won’t reply a second time. I’ve played this game before and it only ever ends in frustration. People just have different opinions and in the end, I know that no matter how reasonable and founded I try to present my arguments, someone who feels so strongly about something isn’t open to rethinking their dislike. Which is sad, but okay. I mean, in the end, we are only talking about a fictional character. I don’t actually care that there are people who hate Draco - he’s not real and he’ll never know about it. And I am not such a die-hard fan of him that I feel the need to convert people. If I regret something, then it is when discussions like that turn toxic and offensive, because that’s really not necessary.
I wouldn’t have seen the post in the first place if the person I followed who reblogged it had tagged it with ‘anti draco’ or something, but they didn’t. Rude anons, especially about things like that, don’t really faze me - I’m old enough to handle this kind of immature behavior. If someone has a problem with me, they can talk to me like an adult (unless they aren’t one, I guess) or just ignore me. I am sure the Internet is big enough for both of us.
Anyway, thank you for being so lovely! And listening to this completely uncalled for mini-rant. I really enjoy getting messages from you! :)
The abuse thing was made by the fanon, not canon. Draco lived a very privileged life and adopted Lucius and Nacrissa's rather racist tendencies and had no problem loading it over the head of the rest of the students time and time, it could be that he had been pressured by his folks which is not entirely unfounded.
No to the first sentence, yes to the rest.
The abuse thing, mind you I am talking about psychological abuse, is film canon. Not book canon, you’re right there.It’s a fact that book and film canon differ in many ways, but they can co-exist in some cases because they don’t really contradict one another in most cases relating to Draco, I think. You could argue that the films show things more vividly that the books leave vague. Like the fact that Draco got the Dark Mark, for example, which, if I recall correctly, was never explicitly mentioned in the books (or was it?).
As for the rest, I already said Draco was pampered and privileged. I never argued that point. Neither do I argue with the point that he is a bully and a racist and treating other people in an awful manner. I know all that.Also, I never said that, abused or not, Draco didn’t love his parents. Or that, abusing or not, Narcissa and Lucius didn’t love their son. It’s not as simple as that. Maybe the Malfoys really love each other, but that, for example, doesn’t change the fact that Narcissa and Malfoy exposed their son to someone like Voldemort and accepted the fact that he was to become a murderer at the age of 16. Don’t you see a difference to the other parents presented in the books? Could you see Molly or Arthur accepting Ron or Ginny killing someone without trying to interfere, even if it meant death?
With no word of what I said about Draco I tried to excuse his actions. I tried to explain them and fight the opinion that he is, always has been and always will be an awful person. People aren’t born racist assholes, they are raised to become like that - some people are more likely to go bad than others, and while there are many different opinions on this topic, I for one prefer the theory that nurture is more important than nature in this case.
If Draco had been born to a family like the Weasleys he could still be a coward who rather saves his own skin than someone else, but he wouldn’t be a racist bully.
Also, it is not unusual that people who suffered abuse or were bullied (by their parents or classmates, etc.) start behaving the same way towards other people. They also often act superior in order to hide how insecure and vulnerable they really are. Which could easily work for Draco as well as someone like Blaise Zabini. But this is my own interpretation of what information I have on Draco - and I can’t look into Rowling’s head, just as much as you can’t.
Again, I am not trying to excuse Draco’s behavior. He is acting like an A grade twat throughout the books, no question. But there is always something behind that kind of behavior, be it trauma, abuse, simply parents with a bad attitude or a mental illness of some sort.
Buries you in paper cranes and hearts and stars for defending Draco. Sends you fifty smooches too.
My paper crane anon <3I’ll reply to your messages as soon as I can (unless you’re someone else who only noticed my paper crane obsession from seeing it on the dash, in which case this is awkward)!
Surprise! Lately there's too much negativity in the rp community, so here is a message to let you know that I love seeing you on my dash and to let you know that you're valued and loved. Why don't you help me bring back the positivity back into the rp community and spread this message around on anon to your favorite blogs?! Of course it's not an obligation, but you'll make people happy if you do!
Thank you so much!Sadly, I’d even say ‘lately’ is putting it mildly. The RP community is such a toxic place sometimes, and it’s affecting pretty much every fandom I know. I always thought the Harry Potter fandom was one of the calmer and nicer ones, but I’ve seen some awful things in the short time I’ve been in the RP part of it.But luckily there are people like you who send these kind of messages around - so I’ll much rather focus on you! :)
fuck what you heard
Harry: I told you he was coming. Ron: Mate, did he know we were coming? Harry: … sure. Hermione: Doesn’t look like it. Harry, I don’t think… Harry: Look, you three are the most important people in my life, and you’re gonna have to get along, I don’t care what it takes. Hi!
