Author's Note: This drabble is from Lucius's point-of-view. He is trying to keep Draco from pursuing a relationship with Hermione.
I know how you really feel about that girl. You are always complaining about how the professors give her better grades than they give you. But I can read in between the words that you speak. I know that you are only complaining about her because you have feelings for her, and you don't want to admit those feelings to me or to anyone else for that matter.
I know that you are afraid I will judge her because of her blood status. I know that you afraid of not having my approval. I know that you afraid that I might disown. And all that would happen to you because of her.
But none of that is the real truth. Do I want her mixing with your blood? I would prefer for that never to happen, I will admit, but I will also admit that I care more about you than anything else in the world, with the exception of your mother, of course. I know that I don't always show that to you, but you are more to me than just my son and heir. I truly want what is best for you. And if that girl is what it takes to make you happy, then I would accept it. I wouldn't like it, of course, but I would accept it for your sake.
But my true problem with the girl is that I know she will one day break your heart. There is no way that she could ever feel as strongly for you as you feel for her.
Her beliefs are the complete opposite from your own. Her life has been nothing like yours. You two are just too different.
Would she be willing to give up her friends for you? Or would they also be willing to turn their belief systems upside down for you, so that she wouldn't have to give them up but still be able to keep you? I seriously doubt that. They are as set in their ways as you are. It just will never happen.
From what you have told me, the girl is clearly loyal to her friends. She would not want to hurt them. Being with you would hurt them because they would never be able to accept that you and her are together as one. They see you as evil, as the son of a monster. You have no future with any of them. Including her.
She's not for you. Find yourself another girl, a better girl, to make you happy. The Pureblood girls will accept you for who you are. But not her. She would want you to change your ways. She would want you to go against your family, your society, and your culture. She would want you to change everything about yourself and about your way of life just to please her.
But would she also be willing to change who she is? Would she be willing to change herself and her way of life just to please you? I seriously doubt that.
Is it not clear yet that she's not for you?
