Draco

Inspiration: Liar, Liar

---

As a Pureblood, he is naturally superior to Muggles and their kin and entitled to special treatment.

All lies, he knows now, but lies so sweet, what child couldn't help but swallow them whole? Such lies made it easier to belittle Muggle-born accomplishments than choke down the truth.

It wasn't until the War that the lies his parents told him became such bitter little pills.

If he raises Scorpius on a diet of truths, his son will be unable to stomach a lie. At least, this is what Draco tells himself; whether it is true or not, he couldn't say.

The sirens sang so sweet and watched the sailors go down
Oh, oh, you talk to me in siren song
Yeah, anyone would drown
Anyone would drown
