Draco taught me more than any character ever will.
I know he isn’t the most ideal of all idols in the entire series, but I do feel like I learnt a lot from him. And it isn’t the fact that I’ve always been a little in love with him. I admit, there was a time when I was blind to his flaws because he was supposed to be popular and ridiculously charming and what not.
But I did examine his flaws, seeing him as a three-dimensional character and because of that, I love him more. Tom Felton once mentioned in an interview that JK wrote him as very one dimensional in the beginning because he’s the Anti-Harry and you want to hate him.
And I agree, he is a spoilt little brat. And a bit of a coward. And undecided and merely following his father. He’s human.
But I never hated him. Ever.
I never liked Draco/Hermione. I was always dead set agaisnt it. Until I read “What We Never Were” by kittsophialovegood. I’m still not on the bandwagon for them, but her story made me really considerthat in a different time, a different place, they could have been, brillant

Right throughout my life, I didn’t get how people had friends only in Harry Potter characters. That is until I started at university. Being in a place where there’s over a thousand people in your classes, whilst taking a course that none of your friends are meant that I turned to fictional characters and worlds, specifically Harry Potter, more and more. And it’s been wonderful to have a reliable source of friendship and love. Even if it is just in Harry Potter.
