but like despite the play’s many flaws ii have so much love for the cursed child version of draco though
he’s alone and hurt and grieving and repressed. at one point he admits that he envied harry because harry had actual friends, whereas he had cronies and connectionms who would have probably been in azkaban or not wanted to talk to him after the battle of hogwarts and everything that went down there. he grew up trying not to become like lucius and be a better person and arguably it succeeded but it cost him so much. he lost his reputation, his family, everything he might have had. no matter what, he would always be draco malfoy the ex-death eater who might have raised voldemort’s kid.
all he wanted was for scorpius to be happy and do well. and i think that’s admirable enough
Tbh I don’t think Albus would stress about it too much, since he knows his family is very tolerant and accepting. He’s of course a bit nervous when he one morning says to his parents that he has something to tell them, but in the end, everything turns out just fine and to be honest, Albus isn’t really even surprised, but glad that his parents don’t mind that he’s dating Draco Malfoy’s son.
Meanwhile Scorpius (even though you didn’t ask) is nearly working himself into a panic attack and tells his father that he’s in love with his best friend, while stuttering a lot and fidgeting with his sleeves. He knows, of course, that his father is a good and caring person, but he can’t help worrying. He cares a lot about what his father thinks of him and fears he’d be disappointed and angry at the prospect of Scorpius becoming the last Malfoy or whatever. Draco of course thinks nothing of the sort and tells that to Scorpius, who is very, very relieved.
