Malfoy

One last post before I sleep, hopefully because the chocolate bar's suger is still keeping me on NINJA MODE...

Last night, on Facebook, there was this convo about HP’s character and houses. A bunch of people rooted for Harry and Ron and Hermione.

Me?

Draco Malfoy.

If I had to choose Harry or Draco, I would go for Draco.

Why?

Draco- He might have been a spoilt kid, a pain in the neck, had a rich daddy and a jerk but most importantly, he made wrong decisions. He made wrong moves in his life. So? He faced the consequences. He lifted his head up high and continued on with life. Not everyone could have done that, especially when you’re famous and all that. In some ways, he also taught me that everyone has feelings.   

Harry- yes, he might have saved the world and all that but to me, his burden was lighter than Draco’s. All Harry needed to do was to kill Voldemort. But Draco had to fight his own self. He had to battle internally on what to do. He had to think about his father and his mother who wanted him to become worthy of the Dark Lord. But Draco didn’t. He had to kill Dumbledore to prove himself. But he didn’t and he corrected his mistake of lowering his wand. Voldemort could have killed him for disobeying him. His father could have disowned him for making him look bad because his son looked like a failure. But no. Draco Malfoy did not care about ANY of that. He listened to his inner voice and did the right thing. At all costs. But Harry? He didn’t have an inner struggle with anything. Only physical. Nothing really mattered except for staying alive.

Besides, Harry, to me, is too perfect. Like he doesn’t have flaws or makes mistakes. He’s so brave, loyal, smart at times and things like that but he’s always right. Like he was ready-made. That’s meaningless. And after he killed Voldemort, he was a hero. He was so cool and awesome, he had nothing to worry about now, really. But Draco, he still had a bitterness inside him, bitterness because of what he did. That bitterness with never leave him, it will stay with him forever. Many people can’t live with that but Draco Malfoy could.

And he did.
