Take my hand
Draco, when I received your letter, I…
Oh, damn it, Draco!
How did you suspect me to react?
Oh, my only son is gay, and in love with Harry Potter of all people, and I can forget him having an heir, but everything is fine?
Think about it, Draco!
Everything I believed in, everything I thought I had is falling apart.
Even your mother won't talk to me anymore.
She blames me for your departure.
But it was not my fault!
Or was it? Cause you seem to feel the same way. That you had to leave because of me.
I never wanted you to leave, Draco!
You're my only son! How could I want you to leave?
But you being with Harry Potter,...
I hate him, Draco. I hate him since he was a little baby, and took away all I had.
And then, when I had it all back, he took it away from me again!
Now, I know how you feel about Voldemort. But to me, being a Death Eater meant a lot. I finally belonged somewhere, I finally had a purpose to live for.
But now that's all gone.
Cause of him.
I want you to be happy, Draco. I do.
But can't you be with somebody else? Anybody else?
Do not get me wrong,
I'll always be you father, and I'll always love you, even if you choose to be with him.
Just don't expect me to be all happy in his presence. Cause I will never forgive him for taking away all that I had and stealing my son.
Yes, stealing. Cause, if you choose him, you'll never have a child of you own, you won't have an heir, and the Malfoy name will extinct.
You're the last Malfoy, Draco! You need an heir!
But, well, I can't decide for you which path to follow. I can't live your life.
If being with Harry Potter is what makes you happy, then I'll have to accept that.
I don't need to be happy about it, but I need to accept it.
After everything I've lost, I can't lose my only son.
So, Draco,
this is me taking your hand and forgiving you for breaking the Malfoy values.
But I won't be establishing new ones. That'll be up to you.
Well, if you'll have an heir, that is. Else there will be no need for new values.
Now, please come home?
Love,
Your father.
