Don't you think he probably posed himself against the tree before he opened his mouth?
wah. that's so adorable. i'm all tempted to write him like that, except it'd be difficult for me, because he's so -real- and -vulnerable- in a subtle way, and i'd be afraid of messing it up, especially if i used his pov. that's really what would mess it up-- because his pov would be all in denial, and it'd be difficult to let the posturing & vulnerability come through. and as far as someone observing him, there seems to be no one there who's close to him and not totally biased, like say, pansy (or stupid like crabbe & goyle).
maybe his -father-. now -that's- an interesting fic. an account of draco's attraction to potter and general interactions with potter through his father's viewpoint. kind of boggles the mind, doesn't it. it sounds very difficult, but rewarding if i could do it right. the only problem is, i suck at lucius. but i think i know exactly what sort of lucius i -don't- like. actually, i don't like -any- lucius, but. hmmm.......
i'd like a lucius who isn't all "so cool" or "so badass" or "so perfectly icy" or "so intelligent". but i don't want him to be a slapstick villain either, of course. it's just hard to walk that line. i've never really thought about lucius in any depth. he's all "lalalala evil power-hungry megalomaniac wannabe", which bores me. but his relationship with draco is the most interesting thing about him.
hmmmm.... i mean, he -probably- knows draco better than anyone. he -probably- notices things (whether he admits it or not) about his son's behavior. what sorts of things does he say to draco? probably he holds things back, has his own agenda, edits like every parent self-edits. narcissa-and-draco holds little interest for me because his relationship to her seems so uncomplex. lucius bothers me as a character too much to really think about him much, but....
hmmmmm. he must've watched him since year one... it'd be so interesting to rewrite bits of all the 5 books through the eyes of lucius as he watched draco, and then go onward to years 6 & 7. hmmmm....
but no, he wouldn't have insight like you do, really, would he. so wah. maybe snape??? no, snape has no insight about anybody. snape would be able to see more (being at school with draco), too. snape is too prejudiced against potter anyway, so he'd be too bent of a glass to look through.
blaise is a stupid plot-device, plus i hate thinly-disguised oc's being the focus. bleh.
it'd just be interesting to really -see- draco in fic but not through draco's eyes. i think only harry could get away with really seeing him, ehehehehe. *beams happily* it'd really take some doing to get harry to even care, but....
he's the only one with the -ability- and the -opportunity- and surprisingly, probably the least amount of things stopping him if he doesn't want them to be.
another possibility is hermione, though, which possibly makes -more- sense in an observational sort of way. hmmmmmm...
