Shaking hands concealed in shadows. The weight of duty. The absence of honor like a lost limb. The damp smell of earth after a storm. The pressure that creates diamonds out of coal. The in between of diamond and coal like limbo. Wood fashioned into something deadlier. The art of creation. The act of decreation. Prince to a kingdom of none. A broken crown to match a disgraced throne. A boat that is sinking in a storm, but somehow makes it ashore. Silver discarded in a forgotten field.

Hello I would die for Draco Malfoy

you said you’re dramione on main (which fair tbh) but what other ships would you consider for draco?

I have many ! Of course these are just my general ideas , and any other ship can come from development , but here are some I enjoy from my own perspective :

Obviously Hermione

Luna is one of my top ships for him , and it’s highly underrated tbh

Astoria because we stan a wife

Pansy is mostly during school but I can see them coming back together after they’ve had time to heal and grow as people , though I don’t necessarily see it lasting unless it’s with a particular development of Pansy

Blaise kinda sorta mostly because I love the aesthetic of two rich boys

Ron is a fun concept and the absurdity of him getting with a Weasley to everyone else is top tier , but it being Ron SPECIFICALLY is fun enemies to lovers slowburn and they roast each other still

Speaking of Ginny is also pretty high up there because I read a lot of Hermione --- centric shipping fics growing up and Ginny was often tangentially getting with Draco and I developed a love for it

Gabrielle for similar reasons , it was in a fic once and then I kinda fell down a tiny rabbit hole with it , they met post war and it was really interesting

Finally , the one we’ve all been waiting for : Drarry. It has to be with the right person and the right circumstance. The fandom has kind of ruined this ship for me , but I can see it happening if I find a Harry I and Draco really click with. Otherwise I’m not overly into it.

This isn’t the entire breadth of potential ships for Draco , just the ones I can think of off the top of my head that I like + addressing the last one because it Will come up eventually. If you want to ship with me though , as always , come talk to me and we can see if it might happen !

Anyways , I don’t hold any Andromeda beholden to this , but I view her as the catalyst for Draco’s change post --- war. He does not seek her out , and she does not seek him out. It is through happenstance that they run into each other when she is out with Teddy. Draco is unsure how to go about the interaction but he has certainly learned how to remain polite in situations regardless of the tension. Either way , they end up sitting and talking , and Draco asks if they could do this again sometime. You know , if she and Teddy want to. From there , they meet up somewhat regularly and he starts to feel normal.

Talking to her , interacting with her , is also how he begins to heal and unlearn a lot of what his parents taught him. Lucius is in jail ( in my interpretation ) , and Narcissa is living in the secondary home that the Malfoys own for when their eldest can inherit the Manor , and it takes time before he really starts interacting with his mother much again outside of what’s necessary. They hold little sway over him at this point in his life , and he is actively trying to change , and Andromeda’s presence helps him immensely. That’s where I generally see him beginning to interact with the main characters again , with Andy’s introduction since she is definitely Teddy’s primary caretaker because Harry is too young to be a proper godfather but he would want to see his godson. Whether they accept him or not ( though I can see Harry being more in favor of that because Draco is a victim of his circumstances , and actively trying to make up for what things were his fault ) , is up to whoever I interact with. Even the development of his relationship with Andy is up to a partner , but this is the general path I see with Draco post --- war because he cannot go through all of this alone.
