Infamous 3rd year “My father will hear about this” Draco refusing to participate in Lupin’s class on boggarts because the whole thing is ridiculous but when it’s his turn he walks up to the wardrobe and Lucius Malfoy steps out
THIS UPSETS ME
It upsets me, too, because it’s completely baseless. There’s nothing in canon that indicates Draco feared his father. Nothing. Wanting a parent’s approval doesn’t automatically equate to being abused and it’d seriously be great if this website would stop writing nonexistent tragic back stories for every less-than-savoury character they come across. Lucius Malfoy was an elitist and a bigot, and he sort of sucks for passing his moral compass onto his son, but that’s not abusive, it’s ignorant. In truth, both Lucius and Narcissa did their best for Draco and also whatever it took to keep their family safe and whole. So try again.
It’s just their way of defending Crisco Malformed by trying to make him a victim.
“Crisco Malformed” 😂
