First and foremost.

Ron vs. Draco for me was always an example of how being pureblooded didn't mean so much as a single squat popped.
Ronald Weasley was poor, the sixth son of two poorer parents, and he was the least impressive brother from birth.

Outshined by his brothers in nearly every category, he still rose to his own and managed to keep his sanity, which, coming from a very large family myself, is hard to do. Very. Hard.

And yet, he still befriended a child who was legend in his world. Not because he was supremely self-aware of his own importance, but because he offered it like it was a the only thing he had to give.

Draco... Draco... Snako.
Who said I had to be unbiased?

Draco was the only, doted upon son of parents who gave him every whim, and as far as bitterness goes, look up the word in the dictionary, you'll find Draco Malfoy's sneering, moving photo. He acted like he owned the world and sharing oxygen with the those he considered lesser mortals painful.

From Madam Malkin's to Hogwarts,,in Book One, he was an insufferable pig of a child I felt in need of more often boot-to-the-head than he'd gotten as the sole heir of Malfoy Sr.

A couple of playground Quidditch accidents where another kid beaned him with a ball a few times would have done wonders for him, and possibly taught him before he was FREAKING ELEVEN years old that sometimes, 'my father wouldn't have to hear about this.'

Because let's be honest.

Ron. Approchable guy with a sense of humor and and hella great snark... On. Demand.

Draco. Sour faced Kenn doll with a great proclivity for nepotism.

As a redblooded girl? You got it. *violently beheads Ken doll*

Why then, in EVERY damn post-Hallows fanfic, often in the great plague ship course Dramione, is Draco the charming guy?

He's a massively overblown ego running around on two legs with hair. That's my take on Draco Malfoy.

*inset of Change My Mind meme*

Why has Draco suddenly accrued all Ronald B. Weasley's good traits?

Yeah, don't get me wrong, JK Rowling didn't go real deep into Draco'Draco's character, but for the luvva Mike, it's HARRY POTTER and *seven add-ons *.

Not Draco Malfoy and the Year the Boy Who Lived Turned Me Down, or my favorite, The Year the Boy Who Lived Saved the Only Other Pureblood Girl Mentioned, So He's Gotta Look at Mudblood Girls to Continue The Grand Heritage Malfoy... (because whoever the helck Astoria Greengrass is, she's not at Hogwarts or Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, or Godric's Hollow, soooo..... ) as entertaining as that seven book series would be.

And I'm sorry.
Why does all the Dramione plague never actually concede that HERMIONE has better taste in men than to stoop to bumbing huglies with the boy who called her 'Mudblood' publicly?

I mean good gawd, she PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE. Is Draco the guy who likes being dominated who can't take a hint to sod off?

Like, he's getting wasted on Ogden's and hiccuping to Crabbe and Goyle, " She didn't mean it. She just slipped and twisted and her fist was already made and she accidentally tapped me with it, so in order to save face, I had to act like it hurt, " and Crabbe and Goyle are all like...

"DUDE. How can you misconstrue a PUNCH IN THE FACE?!"

*stops typing* holy crap. Did I just inadvertently discover the reason behind Dramione? Can you all just not get the "no touchy" hint?

I approve of Hermione's punching him. Hagrid deserved her defense, and Malfoy is a foul, loathsome, EVIL LITTLE COCKROACH.

But if you all don't get the absolute disgust that was mutual between Hermione and Draco, do us all a favor and don't date. The rape percentages are high enough. Stay celibate and further a few triple-x film productions on to their Olympics.

I'm going to leave this here. I don't think I have the fortitude to delve deeper into the disregard of people who ship Dramione collective psyche.
