Yes I did make this account to talk about Malfoid.

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

She's a hard person to make stuff up for, especially if you want to involve her in the plot or significant relationships.

Like one idea I thought up was that she gets over her crush on Harry, as it's a childhood crush, and eventually becomes a friend or friendly to Malfoid. Someone Malfoid can talk to when she and Harry are in turmoil during the later years.

It sounded great... then I realized I could actually do that with Luna and it works better.

She's a hard character to find something to do with.

Lucius Malfoy is an interesting character for me in this Malfoid story. Because he has a lot of potential and different ways to take him.

I always like to stick closer to canon with him, as while some people speculate or say it's implied he's abusive, we really just see him be a strict father.

And I think with Malfoid it's much of the same. He's a strict parent, but he does love his family. And that's fun. Cause it's very easy to write "Evil Man does all things Evil", when it's an interesting thought that, Yes Lucius is a Pure Blood Supremicist who is a Death Eater, but he can still love his family.

All this to say, I love seeing the funny stories or comics where Lucius finds Malfoid and Harry together and is like "Ah fuck, I gotta rebel against the Dark Lord now".

Which is funny yes, but does raise an interesting character facet of Lucius. When he was a Death Eater during Voldemorts first reign, he was either married or soon to be married in some form or fashion. But he didn't have a daughter yet.

So when Voldemort returns, Lucius isn't like "Fuck yeah, let's start hexing the Muggleborns!". He's got things to consider. It's a struggle. He wasn't exactly vying for Voldemorts return in canon, but he does serve.

The idea that having this daughter changes Lucius to really have to consider what to do to keep her safe is fascinating to me.

I've had a scene in my head since the Yule Ball. Malfoid returns at the end of Hogwarts with a spring in her step and some glee. She and Harry have either admitted feelings or gotten closer. And then she comes to her fathers study. He's haggard. A drink on the table.

Lucius doesn't usually drink or at least have as much as he's having, so Malfoid is thrown off. He informs her he's her that he's heard she and Potter have grown closer.

Malfoid bumbles a bit, but Lucius cuts to the chase. She cannot pursue a romantic relationship with Potter. Malfoid protests. Hard. But then Lucius looks at her and it silences her.

It's not anger. It's not the sterness or disapproval she's used to. It's fear. The Dark Lord has returned, he tells her. If he finds out you have a connection to Potter... It's left unsaid.

Lucius wants her safe. He doesn't want her in the Dark Lords crosshairs. If that means he has to break his daughters heart, he will do it. Even if it pains him so.

@MalfoidArchive It's not a stuffed animal, but in his first task of the Triwizard tournament, he draws a little animated Hungarian Horntail. If you set up any romance in the 4th book, it could be something he gives her.

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

@X_CommentR3ader They will have to pry "doting grandfather Lucius" from my cold dead hands before I let go of the idea.

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

@Wheetaye Great analogy! I need the AI people to get Lucius to be looking at a sleeping Harry with a sleeping Dracaena on his shoulder and he just utters the line to himself "is there anything as undoing as a daughter".

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

@Malik_Torihane Malfoid has infected me so badly, canon Draco Malfoy is starting to look weird to me.

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

@s4141k There are two wolves inside Lucius. One wants to claim the Potter fortune and add Harry's popularity and influence to his family. The other doesn't want that little punk anywhere near his daughter

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

You know you've consumed too much Malfoid content when canon Draco starts to look weird to you. Anyways back to consuming Malfoid content

@rickhfox Eyup. Fun thought experiment, but ultimately is too much.

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

Harry's Stag Patronus and is very important to him and works in the story, as he at first believes his Dad saved him before he realized he saved himself. It's a great Patronus.

I'm curious. With the new Malfoid plot, do you think Harry's Patronus changes? Like with Malfoid joining the Death Eaters, Dumbledores Death, her and Harry being at odds, does that grief change his Patronus into something that's a reflection of his love for Malfoid?

I think it still starts off as a Stag, it could change later.

I'm back and fourth on the idea. Might be too much, but it's an interesting thought experiment to think of what animal it would become to reflect Harry and Malfoids romance.

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

I always like the Yule Ball being used as the "Oh Shit" moment where both realize they have feelings. You can have fun scenes of them early on in Year 4, where Dracaena is infuriated by the paper posting that Harry and Hermione are in a relationship, but she doesn't know why she feels like that.

Harry meanwhile does not like when he see's Durmstrang boys trying to chat up Dracaena.

@NW_Viking Thanks! I'll check it out!

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

@Ashley__0237 Agreed! Great way of putting it. It's one of those ideas that's fun, but when you think on it, it might be taking too much from Harry and making him too centered around Malfoid.

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

@flip_eternal Yeah 100%. One of those "Is this an idea? Eh" moments. Fun speculation, but I probably wouldn't implement it, unless I was changing the story a lot more than it is.

[Veydrick @Veydrick]

Yeah, but we're kinda putting a lot on bullying when if you look at everything else surrounding Snape, he was going to end up a Death Eater anyways. All his friends were Pure Blood Supremacists, he was delving into the dark arts, he was in Slytherin where they practically manufacture Death Eaters, he had a fucked up childhood before Hogwarts that left him bitter. Like we have a laundry list of shit that are reasons why Snape became a Death Eater. James being a bully didn't help, but we can't sit here and act like James turned Snape into a Death Eater.

@TKohoto Molly Weasley's going to get carpal tunnel from the amount of grandchildren sweaters she's going to not every Christmas.
