bboyminn:

This is the thing that infuriated me about the Harry vs Draco
debate, which has now carried over into the Albus vs Scorpius
debate. People only see two possibilities, black and white,
either Draco/Scorpius and Harry/Albus are mortal enemies, or
they are absolute best friends slashing it up in the Astronomy
Tower. 

So, why can't they just be polite acquaintances? Why can't 
they just be school mates who each have their own circle of
friends and no particular hostility against the other? Why
does it have to be love or hate, why can't it be indifference?

Really.. why?
