it would be SO funny because he'd walk by and people would be like 0.0 and then the moment he's out of sight, the effect breaks and they're like UGH EW DEATH EATER SCUM!!!!!
⠀ ⠀the cat eyes her suspiciously at first, taking a sniff of her fingers before nudging them with her head with a purr.
⠀ "i have that effect on most." hah.
⠀ "as if i'd frequent stores that are hideous." his fashion taste had been refined over the years by his mother and pansy — both of whom would drag him through wizarding paris for days on end during the summer.

⠀⠀his hand shaking, still holding the wand with such intensity his knuckles were turning white.
⠀
⠀⠀“ I'm not embarrassed of being "half blood", Malfoy. ”
