Oh my, this is quite flattering! I love converting people to Drarry. It’s quite difficult to articulate all the reasons why i love them, but i’ll try for you.First of all, they have such strong feelings for each other. No matter how much they hate each other, they can never ignore one another. Harry constantly uses Draco as some sort of pedestal. Whenever something happens, he’s checking for Draco’s reaction. He ponders over what Draco would do if he knew, what would he think about him, etc. He’s always paying attention to Draco. There’s two tables between them, yet Harry notices even the most mundane thing like Draco laughing with a friend, or receiving a package.No one gets under his skin like Draco does, and same goes for Draco. They have such intense tension and passion between themselves and in their interactions. They make each others blood boil, push their buttons like nobody else can. They’re hyper-aware of each other at all times, fixated even. Draco’s even worse when it comes to it, he spends first five years of his Hogwarts life literally begging for Harry’s attention. Every single snide, attack and offense just screams “Look at me!”. Nearly all his actions toward Harry are to get a reaction, to get him to pay attention to Draco. His resentment for Harry’s rejection and his jealousy runs so deep it’s almost what motivates his actions at all times. He never stops talking about Harry, he never stops poking him, it’s as if it’s vital for Harry to acknowledge him.Harry isn’t better off though, he’s extremely irritated when Draco draws back in sixth year. The fact that Draco’s now paying attention to something other than him disturbs him so much he quite literally gets obsessed with him. He ditches quidditch games, wanders around the castle looking for him, uses the map to track him, sets two house elves to stalk him whenever he can’t and constantly thinks about him. Is Malfoy sick? Is Malfoy evil? What is Malfoy doing? Where is Malfoy going? Who is with Malfoy? Look, Pansy Parkinson’s petting Malfoy’s hair, look there are two girls i’m always seeing around Malfoy. This is Harry’s entire sixth year! He was so used to Draco’s presence that the fact that he doesn’t have that anymore intensifies his feelings by tenfold. Even when they’re at different sides of the war, even when they’re in the middle of a battle, even when one has the opportunity to redeem himself and his parents, they can’t let each other die. They can’t not care. Harry can’t not fall on to his knees in despair when he almost kills Draco, Draco can’t identify Harry in manor, Draco can’t not tell Crabbe and Goyle to not kill Harry, Harry can’t let Draco die in fiendfyre. It’s not only their interactions though, they fit together so well as two independent characters as well! They’re different enough to balance each other out, but also have enough things in common to be able to bond over.They are both two boys who are chosen for a cause, being manipulated by things that are bigger than them. They both have strong loyalty to those they love. They’re devoted to their respective houses. They’re both seekers and love quidditch. Both stubborn, both hotheaded, both ambitious, both aren’t afraid to speak their minds. There is a reason a lot of people call them the two sides of the same coin, they’re quite similar when you take a step back! Most of all though, they have so much potential! There’s so many opportunities for character growth, forgiveness and personal change. They have so much to learn from each other! They would constantly challenge each other to be the best they can, their competitive strike would work so well together once they’ve manage to work out their differences. Draco would never favor Harry for his fame, he’d always see him as only Harry, he’d never glorify or put him on a pedestal. That’s something Harry would need desperately after the war. Harry would also show Draco the meaning and value of things that aren’t always material. He’d support Draco to work through his ingrained prejudice and help him get to know and understand the objects of his previous distastes better. They’d both understand each other’s traumas and be stronger together. They’re both complex and difficult, they’d get each other.They’d have fun too though. Imagine the quidditch games, the snark, the banter! All that and the aforementioned tension and passion between them would guarantee for great chemistry. They’d be magnetic, powerful and fierce together. I’ve so much love for them and their love! This ended up being huge, but it isn’t even enough.
