Harry Potter

Draco Malfoy was a werewolf.

(Glad I didn't encounter this when I was 16, though; my brain would have melted with the Angst and I probably would have done regrettable things.)

I think this link explains it pretty well--essentially, the idea is that after Lucius Malfoy fucked up at the end of OotP, Voldemort had Fenrir Greyback bite Draco as punishment. The theory construes all of Draco's weird behavior in HBP as evidence of lycanthropy. IMO, this is one of those really delicious theories that can't possibly have been the author's intention, but actually *does* slot in perfectly well with the facts as we have them.

I actually think those are my favorite category of theories, so this is pretty cool.

That does sound interesting and I'm not even that fond of Draco in the first place. Do you have recs for fics that go along this theory?

Re: Harry Potter

Sadly, I don't! I only encountered the theory after I left the fandom, and I never really read fic in that fandom for whatever reason.

Why are you giving me fuel to return to HP, anon? Why??

I usually go for the Scabior is a werewolf, or straight for Lupin, or occasionally Fenrir himself. But damn anon.

that's better than all the Draco Malfoy is a Veela

Re: Harry Potter

(Anonymous) 2016-07-31 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
ugh, I hated that one. isn't he described as being rat faced or something like that in the books? I mean, that could arguably be because the books are from Harry's POV and he hates Draco, but he still never seemed like veela material to me

You haven't seen that? It's a whole genre of HP fic.

Nope. Sounds odd and...not really my thing? But also kinda random? Is it just because he's blond and Tom Felton is pretty?

Basically. Personally I think people wanted an excuse to write about veela and they decided that Draco was the most likely candidate of all the people they wanted to write about.

That actually makes a lot more sense to me! I mean, I don't think Veela are that interesting personally, but that angle makes more sense than randomly putting that label on Draco.

(Anonymous) 2016-08-01 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Aren't the male equivalent of Veela basically asort of ugly troll?

Have you read "When The Wolf Comes Home" [http://archiveofourown.org/works/6873916/chapters/15686401]? Time-travelling werewolf Draco. He's such a little shit, I love him.
