I am totally fucking shocked by Draco, actually.

This.

What did Albus say to him? Or...[thoughtful expression]

I'm not particularly, given his reaction to Pansy keeping the ISS secret, and how he still prickles at Hermione keeping secrets from him. I don't imagine he's particularly enthused about being part of the Order, but he'd always rather know more than less.

Yeah, but he had said earlier that he didn't intend to. Or something along those lines. I'd have to look.

ETA: But yes, that is a good point.

That... is a really good point. Even if he had said he would never "swear an oath to any adult" or whatever it was he said....

I think Albus was uniquely suited to encourage him to join, but I also think the potential for being isolated, with everyone else joining, especially Harry and Hermione, was probably enough to push him over the edge.

That's probably true about being isolated, but I'm still dying to know what Albus said exactly.

I guess it's more that to join the Order is to acknowledge that, in this moment, he is signing up to directly fight his parents. To be like Sirius. And it's so different for him than it was for Sirius or even for Hydra (and can we note how her situation parallels Andromeda!) because he does have a very good relationship with his parents, unlike either of them. He is loyal to Harry, yes, but unless the Malfoys change, he has the most Pyrrhic victory ahead.
That said, if I were Dumbledore, I would remind him that being on the winning side will help him keep his parents out of Azkaban one day.

Yeah. Well, I mean, some of the others are fairly close to people in that circle too, but Draco's in the worst position.

That is probably what Dumbledore did--told him he would be better positioned to protect his family by working with the Order. Or something like that.

(Also, re: Hydra and Andromeda, you made me go dig up a conversation between Narcissa and Bella back in Y1 that is terribly ironic in hindsight. Enjoy!)

Hahaha that is fantastic.
semi-related: This is less so and more terrifying, as far as foreshadowing/nods to canon are concerned.

[personal profile] capericious 2013-06-08 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but the others (specifically Pansy and Hydra) have flat-out stated that they know they'll be fighting Lucius/Dolohov/Bellatrix whereas Draco has only ever said that he can't imagine his parents still support Voldemort and that they must be aware of the LP's insanity.
I do wonder how exactly Harry feels about having to maybe fight Lucius or Raz one day. Has he ever said?

That's true. Though to be fair, Draco hasn't been on the lock long.

I was thinking more of Rod (and Raz?) re: Hydra, though.

I don't know about Harry. I don't remember him saying, but that doesn't mean he hasn't.
