🌝 hi!!! congrats on 500 🥳 my hp hot take is that draco malfoy deserved better and he unfortunately had no choice in the path he was given in life. he had so many opportunities for redemption/to change his course but as we know his family and the death eaters as a whole had major influence over him and his choices. maybe this isn’t unpopular but i feel VERY strongly about this hahaha. anyway, congrats again!!!
thank uuu!!! idk i have no sympathy for the children of rich racists who grow up to be rich racists irl so i don't know if i can be convinced to have sympathy for them in fiction..... BUT i do think draco is a super compelling character to write because making the audience empathize with him is a really fun task. i wish we saw more of his tortured soul in the books and movies lol but that's part of why fics about him can be so cool, because writers get to imagine what's going on behind the scenes in his life instead of just painting him as a villainous brat
