crap. What was I saying for the helicopter tackiness? Oh, we see things from Harry's perspective. Yes. So but yeah, it's like there's always like you said in the last episode, the way he describes interactions with Draco are so detailed and so intense, like whenever he like, you know, Draco comes into the picture. And yeah, Draco is like super nasty. He does some really like mean stuff. And he's just, but it's just be opportunity for them. You know, it's like, like that childhood rivalry and like, hatred and stuff like that. Like, there's just, you're gonna have feelings toward other people that aren't necessarily healthy. Like, we talked about hormones, you know, various things and stuff like that. And Harry, from the very beginning was given the, the rhetoric that Southern was bad, like when Hagrid, you know, told him about what happened to you know, his parents and whatever. And like, no one that went bad was an insult there. And so all of a sudden, so already Harry has that prejudice on his side of things to slither in. Yeah, so you know, for him to be like, Oh, of course, I'm going to be in slither and when he meets the boy, you know, meets Draco in madam Malkin's, like, he's already going in, being like, Okay, I don't like this person. Not to say that Draco wasn't a little like, you know, like cocky, whatever. He you know, I mean, Harry says like, oh, all he knows is he really doesn't like this boy. It's like, it's not like Draco was being mean. He literally was like, oh, you know, what house do you think you're going to be in or like, Oh, are you starting at Hogwarts to Oh, my mother's getting my stuff. Like, he's just conversing, you know, with Harry. And it isn't until he's literally like, oh, like, you know, like, Oh, I'm sorry, your parents are dead. And he's like, he doesn't sound sorry at all. It's like, well, he's a lesson like how do you're supposed to remotely respond to finding out that some other kids parents were dead? You know what I mean? Like, it's what is it? You know, for him to, to it's just there's a lot of things like yeah, and of course, seeing Hagrid and he's like, Oh my God, that man like also any What else who would see a half giant standing outside of your, you know, like, it's like it's not you don't see half giants walking around. So it's like there's literally things in his reactions of like, but Harry's already on the defensive and he's like, Oh, this boy said that he's definitely going to be in another one. And like he's, you know, and then the way he reacted to my friend Hagrid, he's already put Draco in a box, you know, and Draco doesn't even know who he's talking to. So this is Draco just talking to any random person and then eventually he's like, Oh, what's your surname or whatever? Like, you know, I mean, he's literally he's not the best he's not the most tactful or whatever. And indefinitely. Jim Dale leans into it when you listen to like his I don't know how it is for Stephen fries or whatever, but he definitely like kind of smarmy, is it up? You know, like he gives he gives stricto an attitude more of an attitude versus when you read it verbatim? Like you're just like, oh, it's purely just another kid talking to you and also being just just conversing you know, it's just and yes, he says some like weird things like he's like, I don't think the other kind should be let in which obviously, like Muggle boards and stuff and like it just, you know, I hope your parents were wizards or whatever, like, obviously, that's a problem, but it's just, he's just a kid talking and Perry doesn't know enough at that point to be like, Hey, that's not okay. He just like knows it's not, you know, so their first meeting is very, yeah, yeah, complicated. You know, like, it's just like 11 year olds talking. Harry's awkward. He's, he's never really like had a good experience with anyone his age. Everyone hated him in school. He didn't really have friends. And this is before I even meet like it this is this is him getting his stuff. He hasn't been on the Hogwarts Express. He hasn't met Ron he hasn't. He This is his first interaction with someone his age. And of course, he's going to be he's just going to be awkward because like, thanks to Dudley, he doesn't have any friends. Like he never had friends. And that's why we can't assume that Harry is as well adjusted as he is, you know, because he's not really he's not and that's like, another thing to play off of is right. I just, I feel like there's opportunities that it could have gone differently and that's where like, fix it fix, you know, come into play where someone's like, Okay, what if something went a little bit different? Like of course like Harry being in Slytherin that's a fun one too because he chose not to and like Dumbledore is it's our choices that define us but but he could have been in slip there in and then that could have been something that then yeah, not necessarily made you know made Harry evil or something like that. But that also could be an opportunity for Draco to to grow and see and understand things from a different point of view like people really like to lean into when it comes to Harry's slash anybody but especially someone who's like when it's like a you know, rival or evil or whatever is once it comes out the abuse that he you know, lived under like, especially when they're older like if Draco discovers like Oh, I'm sure that you Yeah, you lived with Muggles. But you know, I'm sure like everyone just worships you know, Harry or whatever he's like, Yeah, but every summer I go home, and I'm literally like, verbally and physically assaulted and like, you know, like I have a really shitty life and Dumbledore lets this happen and things like that and for for someone to like realize that someone who they think has everything given to them doesn't it's like it really knocks you down a peg of like, you have this assumption of who a person is which same thing for Harry to Draco like oh, he assumes that he's a bad person even like postwar like a lot of times Harry becomes an order which I like we talked about before we don't think that that's anything like what he should be doing or would want to do because he's done enough like that would just but also the saving saving people thing is huge. So him becoming an OR is believable, like it could be written believably. Yeah. And he's going to you know, a big part of postwar or illness is probably tracking down dark wizards and like and those that like worked with them or you know, things like that, and he continues to hold that prejudice against Draco. Maybe Draco is on the run. Maybe Draco is like trying to prove himself as different but of course, like Harry's just gonna be like, suspicious, like, that's cool. You know, it's like yeah, there's gotta be some reason behind. He's not it's like this, that he's been manipulating something there's some reason when really he's just like, No, I'm just trying to be a better person and work with this charity or do this random thing or, you know, it's just, it's just having Harry being either immediately forgiving and being you know, because we can see that to have like, in the beginning him speaking for Draco and being like, he's a changed man. He didn't, you know, kill Dumbledore or what you know, for whatever reasons that he you know, he has Well forgives Draco for his choices and sees him as a boy cornered with his own, you know, like he's afraid like he had his own fears and, and things. But then also Harry holding on to that grudge and like her mind and even Ron being like, you are still obsessed with him. Because it's like, because you're, you're holding on to this grudge as something that's like, you're standing behind this and you're constantly checking up on his files and what he's doing and things like that. And what does it matter, Harry? What does it matter? Just go well, like, so it's it's always fun to see either Draco dealing with Harry who's forgiven, forgiven him and wants to like, move forward in a positive light. And Draco's like, doesn't want anything to do with it. Or it's just like, leave me alone. Like, leave me alone. But also then there's Harry that's holding that grudge and prejudice against Draco when Drake was trying to be different, you know, like to prove that he's different and better. And it takes a long time for Harry to believe that or like, realize that his words aren't lies, you know, because it's easy to be like, Oh, nothing. Everything you say is manipulative. Everything you say, Isn't I'm not going to believe a word of it or anything like that. So I love both of both dynamics. I love Harry being like an empathetic and forgiving person. But I also can see a very like stubborn, stuck in his ways, unforgiving Harry, because of what he lost, like, right, Draco had an impact and was a part of things that took the lives of people he loved. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. So it's like, you know, how do you separate that as like, even though he didn't kill loop and he didn't kill serious like, Lucius was, you know, kind of behind it. His aunt Bellatrix was, you know, depending on the perspective of the books or the movie, like there's, there's things with his family, which also is something that I love with tragic Draco is when he feels like he has to carry the burdens of his families, like I have to atone on behalf of my family. And then Harry being you know, forgiving nature is like helping him see that that's not his job to do and then he's he's allowed to find happiness. Like he's allowed to move on from this and not feel like he has to represent and carry all the transgressions of like, of his ancestors and everything like that, because that's crazy. No one should have to do that ever.
