"Measure of a Man" is the most accurate Draco of all
I'm only half way through the book, but can we agree that this is the most accurate Draco ever?
I've read MANY, from Detraquee, to Manacled. But this Draco makes sense.
He would never be some easy-going sassy dandy that has fucked his way around, and flirts with Hermionie like he's not traumatized. Also, him being nasty just because, doesn't make sense either. The Malfoys being good, just because, is silly too.
Here the Malfoys turn "good" bc they have to, out of convenience. The way he approaches the relationshis is careful, he's not some dandy either. He's not toxic, just had had a rough life. He's not just friends with everyone at work like some party clown.
Separately, I like that Ron is annoying and stubborn but in a normal way. It doesn't make sense for him to be a nasty drunkard. Molly didn't raise no bum.
