Companion piece to this scrap:

if the link doesn't work, just check my scraps.

Prologue and warning: If you don't like this character and if you aren't fond of me depicting him as a future protagonist rather than antagonist, and if all you have to say is that you disagree with my views of the Harry Potter books, don't bother to comment (unless you can frame your disagreement POLITELY--I don't want to totally snuff intellectual discussion here). I post art here, even fan art, to discuss ARTISTIC issues. There was a time when I LOVED discussing things like the sources of my fan art, but the Harry Potter fandom in particular strikes me as VERY aggressively opinionated (perhaps because it is so LARGE) and I have found any discussion of the books to be rather disconcerting for all involved. For that reason, let's stick to the art itself. THANKS! :)

Content: Draco Malfoy in mid twenties (yeah, he looks too young, I know, lol) having finally renounced his ties with the Death Eaters, and babysitting a best friend's baby, that baby, Josephine Odile Renard-Kelly, also being his Goddaughter. It seems they've both dozed off on the floor. :aww: Post-war, pending Draco's still alive by then ;;__;; He frowns slightly because any expression of love and tenderness, any human touch, causes his Dark Mark to ache slightly, as he can never remove it. But he cuddles the infant nonetheless.

I think that the ultimate expression of human beauty--human vulnerability--is in an infant child, and its interactions with an adult, who remembers by contact what it is to be human. Even someone as inexperienced with love and vulnerability as this guy.

Conte crayon and mechanical pencil. Intended to have a sketchy, process-oriented quality. Hope you like! :)
