Draco's Musings
This is not the typical view of my life…
Everyone always thinks that I will fall hopelessly in love with some witch, cough cough Weasley cough Granger cough and I will immediately change and repent for all I've done. Or that my father was abusive, simply made the wrong choice, or was ultimately a spy against the Dark Lord. They say that I am a veela or part veela. (Although, in all honesty, veelas have been accounted for in family history.) They say that all in all I am really good and was a spy myself. I mean, come on, the son of a Death Eater can get some really good dirt on the rebel side in a war.
But in reality, I was a child and a teenager that worshiped his father. When you were a child, when didn't you hold your father in the highest regard? Putting him on the highest pedestal? So I went along with anything the man said – stupid decisions or not. At that age, you think nothing he says is wrong. So, obviously you can get yourself into some stupid decisions as well.
Everything was okay – the way, in every parent's mind, it should be – but things change when you start developing your own opinions. I mean, honestly, I do agree that purebloods are superior to half-bloods, mudbloods, and muggles, but I do not think killing them just because they exist is the right way to do things.
And that brings up the big bad Dark Lord himself. Why, for the love of Merlin, would he insist on killing everyone that was not a pureblooded wizard or witch? Come on, the snake-man is a half-blood himself. If Salazar Slytherin found out his "heir" was a half-blood….I wonder if he would be turning over in his grave? And, if you think about it, if all that was left in the world was purebloods, there wouldn't be many people left. And everyone would be related. Too much inbreeding…Doesn't inbreeding create mentally challenged people?
Not that I am proof of that. I am actually very smart. I am Draco Malfoy! Surprisingly, we are actually of the best stock. But I really just want to be myself…who ever that is.
