Holding on to what I am-- {Draco}

[DRACO MALFOY]

Draco Abraxas Malfoy


16-Slytherin-Pureblood-Deatheater

Here I am, doing everything I can,
holding on to what I am.

Draco, in his younger years, maybe even just a year ago, would be described as a bully. He teased and taunted people, purposely got them in trouble, and eluded punishment himself most of the time. He was a coward who loved to brag and be the center of attention, was incredibly arrogant, and always ready to gain some power for himself and humiliate others.

However, after this summer, everything has changed. Draco has become a much more solitary creature, and tends to stick to himself and his two best friends friends Crabbe and Goyle more then anything else. He doesn't taunt people or even really talk to anyone he doesn't like unless provoked, and he always seems worried. If Crabbe and Goyle weren't such idiots, they'd probably be extremely concerned about Draco. He barely sleeps anymore, always appears nervous or up to something, and is often seen wandering the castle by himself. This is about opposite the old Draco, who was almost never seen alone and not mocking someone.

Around his friends, or so called friends, Draco can somewhat escape what's going on for a few moments, and pretend he's a first year again when everything was so much simpler. He can make a rude comment about Potter, let Pansy showers compliments over him, and brag about something or another. Of course the moment always ends quickly, and then Draco is rudely brought back into the real world. Very few of his friends suspect how far he's gotten into everything. Sure, most of the Slytherin 7th years know he's working for Voldemort, and a few even know he has to do something. But they have no idea the full extent of it...

Draco has plenty of enemies, considering he makes it quite hard not to dislike him. He taunts and talks about people, will gladly call a muggleborn a mudblood, and considers pretty much everyone to be below his level. Although he displays this side of himself less and less, it's certainly still there, hiding underneath everything. Of course, his biggest enemy of all is Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived. Draco hates Potter with every fiber of his being, but that doesn't mean he wants him dead. Draco doesn't really want anyone dead. He can taunt and threaten and make cruel jokes all he wants; but Draco has been raised with an easy life. He doesn't understand death, and wouldn't give it to the worst of his enemies, even if he thinks or says he would.

Love*Love*Love*Love*Love*Love*Love*Love*Love*Love[/size]
Love has been very absent in Draco's life in someways, yet also very present in others. While he's attractive, smart, and manipulative, he's always managed to have quite a few girls fancying him at once, though Pansy is the top contender, having followed him like a lost puppy since he can remember. Despite this, Draco feels nothing for them. They're little more then toys, used and then thrown away. If they keep crawling back, then that's their problem.

draco and amelia

Okay, here's the deal. Amelia doesn't consider herself to be a person who has any friends. That being said, she'll talk to anyone as long as there's no risk involved (ie. someone she admires thinking she's a big dumb idiot the minute she opens her mouth). Amelia would hate Draco, but she'd figure he was relatively harmless, especially after he didn't retaliate when Hermione punched him. All bark and no bite. However, this year, both of them have been especially friendless, what with Amelia's newfound sense of pessimism and Draco's depression/Death Eaterdom. She'd probably end up trying to talk to him if only for an interesting conversation, and she'd probably notice he wasn't as snarky as he used to be. And she'd probably ask a lot of questions. How he responds is up to you.

[DRACO MALFOY]

Draco&Amelia

That sounds awesome. xD And it'd completely end up to the way she worded things and how the conversation started for how he would reply, but no matter what way it went would be completely interesting. He'd probably be a little rude, considering she's a Gryffindor and a muggleborn, but if he gets defensive he might let things slip because he's got a bit of a temper at times.

[ameliahart]

Yeah, and in that case, it'd be interesting to see what happens when the only person who has reason to believe he might be aligned with Voldemort is both a muggleborn and not friends with Harry Potter, therefore not really having anyone to go to about it. Do you want to thread them?

[DRACO MALFOY]

Very much so. I could start it later, if you like, but right now I have homework. >.< Anywhere you would you prefer?

[ameliahart]

I guess a situation in which people would be expected to be social so she'd have an excuse to talk to him. A party or something. I don't know.

[DRACO MALFOY]

I put them in a very crowded Three Broomsticks, so hopefully that will work. Thread is here

[Susan Bones]

I'm not sure how well things could work out, but we could try something between Draco and Susan? I imagine they'd hate each other greatly, as his two friends commonly bullied her when she was earlier. They're the same year so they've probably run into one another at least once. And he could have possibly bullied her when Crabbe and Goyle were? I don't really know, any ideas?

[DRACO MALFOY]

Draco&Susan

Draco would have probably made fun of her, along with his friends, quite a bit. They'd hate each other for sure. Though this year he's laying pretty low and not really doing that kind of stuff anymore. Not sure what kind of interaction we could have between them, but if you have any ideas feel free to share! :]

[Susan Bones]

Yeah, I imagine there would be a lot of bad blood between these two. Maybe at some point we can have a thread between them, maybe she can confront him about his teasing? It could be a while later, since I'm working on building her confidence. We could do one with her trying to stand up for herself? It would be good for character development. Only if you like the idea, of course~

[Justin Finch-Fletchley]

Justin would despise Draco for his bullying and hatred of muggleborns. I think that they would only really meet if there was to be a confrontation of some sort between the two over Draco's bullying, although Draco was lying low for most of the year so I'm not exactly sure how they would end up meeting...

[DRACO MALFOY]

Susan&Draco
No, that sounds pretty good actually. Just tell me whenever you want one!

Draco&Justin
Mm, that sounds about right. Perhaps if Crabbe and Goyle were being mean to him, Draco might step in and say something as well... I don't know. If you'd like a thread anytime, just let me know. I'm sure we can think of something xD

[ASTORIA GREENGRASS]

ASTORIA AND DRACO

Well according to the books and movie apparently these two end up together but I've never been on a site where that has happened as Draco has ended up with Pansy. Not sure what your future plans are with Draco or if Astoria and Draco was ever interesting for you, so I've been tossing around for a few days possible plots between these two.

Astoria has always had and on and off again crush on Draco but never acted upon it, being 14 he might see her as a child which will honestly piss her off, however I was thinking maybe the two could form a friendship and should she find out he is a Death Eater she'd probably try help him, if he were to find out how much she really hates Voldermort though... well his reaction can be up to you, maybe that brings them closer to friendship or possibly gets her fearful if Draco were to use that information against her. I was thinking though maybe over time Astoria could help Draco 'toughen' up more while he could help her 'grow up' more, the two could grow to an understanding and maybe Astoria helps Draco see women as not just objects but people and possibly helps open his heart up to the idea of love maybe.

There are so many possible plots we could do with these two so let me know what your thoughts are.

Draco&Astoria
So! If you're up to it, I'm perfectly okay with the two ending up with each other eventually. Of course, at this point Draco couldn't really see her that way (she's fourteen. He's sixteen. Obviously, that'd be a little weird) but I'd really like to thread with them and see if Draco could find himself in a- probably reluctant- friendship with her. The fact she's younger would annoy him, but he'd also maybe put his guard down a little because she is two years younger then him and he'd underestimate her. He'd see her as a child, really. At least for now. But I have nothing against forming a friendship with the two for the time being, because truthfully Draco needs more friends ^^

[ASTORIA GREENGRASS]

ASTORIA AND DRACO

Yea I'm ok with it, eventually, I love drama big time! I can though see Astoria getting angry at Draco if he were to call her a child or a little girl so if he was ever looking for a fight he just has to call her that lol. Though starting off as developing a friendship sounds good to me. I have a few open threads you can up in on if you want or I can start a new one whenever you want to thread.
