They Continued To Revolve Around Each Other - Tumblr Posts

I can't stop thinking about how Draco and Harry's whole rivalry started because Harry wouldn't be friends with Draco. Draco and Ron or Harry and Zacharias or any of the other duos that don't get along don't have this dynamic. Well, unless of course count Lily and James who have a strikingly similar meet-ugly and then end up together after James's (presumed - offscreen and imho not very convincingly written but that's a whole other post) redemption.

There's something so intimate and personal about the way it started, not with mutual dislike or disinterest, but with Draco being drawn to Harry even before he knew who he was and then coping very badly with rejection and Harry being turned off by Draco's behavior and attitudes but also noticing him so keenly that he even dreams about him on his first night at school.

When we compare this dynamic to other people that Harry or Draco dislike we see how different and unique it is. And then on top of that their stories remain so intertwined. To the point that their connection decides the climax of the war in book 7. It's just so lovely and drarry fits so naturally into that.
