Pairing: Snape, Draco
Notes: Challenge # 8 Draco's thoughts on Snape at draco100

When Lucius first introduced Snape to Draco the summer before he started Hogwarts, he wasn't keen on him. He was gruff, greasy, gross, and grotty. Regardless, Lucius insisted that Draco obey Snape. However, recognizing Snape was Head of Slytherin, Draco behaved respectfully.

When school started, Snape's preferential treatment preened his ego. Watching him repeatedly squelch Harry inspired Draco. Being excused from his misconduct towards Potter endeared him. Though Snape was hard on Draco, he was used to Lucius, and thrived under the pressure. What he liked most about Snape was that whenever he needed to talk, the door was open.
