for the darling @betterthanthislife who gave me the inspiration for this
So if I need to make it clear I ship Drarry (Draco and Harry from Harry Potter)
Why I ship Drarry is because it makes sense to me
I know Draco is a coward. I feel that has to do with nature versus nurture.
He was raised by death eaters! He was raised to lead and be strong, I don’t think that Draco himself wanted to be a leader.
Draco realized he was queer (I speculate gay all the way but he might be something else. [If you have a theory on his sexuality DM me]) at a young age. Around the time that he was started to get trained to be a death eater himself. When learning to be a death eater he was taught that Purebloods tm are better than half-bloods or muggle-borns. With him being a Pureblood he was expected to carry on the line with a female death eater to keep the bloodline pure. But Draco was never attracted to the women around him. When he saw Harry he felt an immediate attraction. But being that he was taught that he needed to find a girl he punished himself for his connection to Harry. The only way he could get close to Harry was to bully him and make his life a hell. He couldn’t befriend Harry because of who his parents were and the fact that he wasn’t a pureblood himself, or a slytherin.
So in a desperate attempt to get close to the object of his affection he was rude and terrible to him. But over the years he felt worse and worse about it but couldn’t seem to stop. Finally after Harry was killed in the final movie he realized what was really at stake and stood up for himself and the whole of Hogwarts.
TL;DR: Draco is repressed and takes it out on the boy he has a crush on.
