tattoo (noun)
the act or practice of marking the skinAs you know, Draco already has the Dark Mark, but if he were to get a tattoo of his own volition, I can imagine he’d opt for something that represented his family. Thus I deemed the Malfoy family motto, “Sanctimonia Vincet Semper” or purity always conquers to be appropriate. Given the Malfoy family’s infamous history, a younger Draco would’ve believed that “purity” referred to the status of his blood and that “always conquers” meant purebloods were always superior. However, I think after the war and after he’s grown into adulthood, it will come to mean something different to him. For instance, he had every intention to kill Dumbledore but when it came to the actual deed, he could not go through with it even though it meant the Dark Lord would kill him and his family. Maybe when Draco reflects back on everything that happened, he will interpret the words differently. He might come to see it as purity of the heart will always conquer.
yata yata yata… writing stuff like this makes me feel all awkward after. And yes, that’s not Tom on the right, it’s Boyd.
