Summary: I did a search recently for group pictures of the Slytherins in Draco's year, and came up fairly empty handed. Ended up drawing one for myself! lol! So yes, here's to all of my fellow Slytherin fans, with love
Reccer: swissmarg
Why you are reccing this: Blaise himself is drawn as an interesting and complex character here, but it's really his position in the ensemble that clinched this rec for me. Foregrounded, the only character who isn't at least partially blocked by another character, and on equal physical footing with the acknowledged 'King of Slytherin', Draco, in one of the prime leather armchairs, his placement indicates his importance to Slytherin House, as well as his independence, the only one whose body language is not in some way gravitating toward Draco.
