Draco did understand also, the need for an heir to continue the Malfoy bloodline. But he hoped his son didn't feel such pressure in his time. Not that it wasn't important, it was. But he figured there was time. "I understand," he spoke then, as he heard his son talk about the feelings but not acting on them. "If word got out or you were caught. I honestly wouldn't be ashamed, but I am not certain what the other versions of me will think. You can trust me; I won't speak of this to them if you wish it. My parents would definitely not take it well, so I know what you mean by heart attack. Especially my father." He then had an image of getting knocked in the head with the serpent cane, multiple times. Draco shook his head at that thought.
"I suppose.. I do like girls too, I am actually not certain how attracted I would be to guys. I can recognize good looks. After all, there were perhaps a number in our school. And yet, Potter was the one I was drawn to for two years now." He had pondered if he only liked boys because Harry Potter happened to be a boy. "Anyway, I want you to know.. that I fully support you. We can't publicly of course, lest we both be outed. But at lest you can know there's at least one Malfoy in the family who won't judge your preferences. I'd hope the other me's may be lenient.. they're me. But best not to take chances right now. If you decide to pursue those inclinations in secret, I can do what I can to cover for you if you need it."
