Draco Lucius Malfoy
41 - June 5th, 1980 - Married to Astoria Greengrass - Pureblood
"I really don't think they should let the other sort in, do you? They're just not the same, they've never been brought up to know our ways. Some of them have never even heard of Hogwarts until they get the letter, I imagine. I think they should keep it in the old wizarding families."
—Draco to Harry Potter before their first year at Hogwarts
Wand: Hawthorn and Unicorn Hair, 10 inches
Hawthorn Wand Wood: "The wandmaker Gregorovitch wrote that hawthorn ‘makes a strange, contradictory wand, as full of paradoxes as the tree that gave it birth, whose leaves and blossoms heal, and yet whose cut branches smell of death.’” Hawthorn wands are complex and intriguing in their natures, and oftentimes conflicting, just like the owners who best suit them. Hawthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses and seems most at home with a witch or wizard passing through a period of inner-turmoil. Hawthorn is difficult to master and one should only ever consider placing a hawthorn wand in the hands of a witch or wizard of proven talent, or the consequences might be dangerous. “Hawthorn wands have a notable peculiarity: their spells can, when badly handled, backfire."

Appearance: Draco was a slender boy with sleek white-blond hair, cold, grey eyes, a pale complexion and rather sharp, pointed features. He was described as having haughty good looks. Draco is noted to strongly resemble his father. When Draco joined the Death Eaters, Lord Voldemort had the Dark Mark burned into his left forearm. During the first five years of school Draco maintained a relatively healthy look. However, in his sixth year onward, when the stress of his mission to murder then Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore was getting more intense, Draco's smug countenance was lost, and he became quite thin, with dark shadows underneath his eyes and a greyish tinge to his skin. At the age of 41 he looks healthy, still pale but not pallid, slender and dashing, though his hairline is beginning to recede a little, something he's inwardly insecure about. He's often either seen glaring, scowling, or frowning while at work as the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardly, for he despises his job but needs the money in order to maintain a comfortable lifestyle for his wife and son.
Personality: Draco was, in general, an arrogant, spiteful bully. His narcissistic nature most likely stemmed from his being spoiled by his parents throughout his childhood. He believed himself superior to most people because of his family’s pureblood lineage as well as great wealth and social standing in the community. He frequently behaved cruelly to Muggle-borns, so-called blood traitors, Gryffindor students, and anyone who was a supporter of Harry Potter or Albus Dumbledore. For much of his youth, Draco took after his bigoted father, Lucius Malfoy, as a role model, and frequently boasted about his family's influence and wealth.
However, something began to change in Draco's psyche in his sixth year at Hogwarts. After Lord Voldemort made him a Death Eater, he set him with the task of assassinating Albus Dumbledore by the end of the year, something that Draco was very eager to do at first. After a number of feeble attempts, Draco began to crack under the enormous pressure that Voldemort was putting on him. He was uncertain of his ability to fulfill the mission and was terrified that he and his family would pay the price for his failure; the stress led him to be reckless as his two feeble attempts were noted to be foolish by Snape. Over the course of the year, the mission also led Draco to neglect other aspects of his school life that he would previously abuse or enjoy: he rejected his Prefect duties that he once would happily abuse; he feigned illness and paid another student to take over his stead in order to avoid playing Quidditch himself, as opposed to three years ago he would ensure the entire match was postponed by exaggerating a minor injury in order to suit the team's interest; he would distance himself from his friends, Crabbe and Goyle and order them to be on lookout without telling them anything and he would also spend less time mocking Harry and his friends despite the many opportunities. Ultimately, Draco was unable to kill Dumbledore, lowering his wand and tempted to take Dumbledore’s offer of protection for his parents. Also, during the Battle of Hogwarts, he showed genuine concern for Crabbe and Goyle, something he rarely did.
Draco was quite intelligent and quick-witted, capable of deducing things and coming up with clever plans based on a small amount of information; his father had expected him to obtain top marks in school after his first year and showed disappointment that Hermione beat him. He figured out through Montague's experience that the Vanishing Cabinets in Hogwarts and Borgin and Burkes were linked and that he could use that passage to his advantage. Draco was also adept at compartmentalizing his emotions, as is evidenced in his success with Occlumency.
For the rest of the Second Wizarding War, Draco became disillusioned by the Death Eater lifestyle. He reluctantly participated in Death Eater activities and by the end of the war, remained on the fence. When Harry Potter was captured in his home, Draco showed great hesitation in identifying him before the Death Eaters. As an adult Draco regrets joining the Death Eaters and lost some of his bigotry, as he has a civil, if not friendly, relationship with old school rivals and evidently raised his son to be a better person than he was.
Special Abilities:
• Occlumency: In his sixth year, his Aunt Bellatrix taught him Occlumency to prepare him for his mission. As Draco had already shut down his compassion to become the bully he was, it was much easier for him to close his mind and disassociate from his emotions.
• Potions: He became very good with Potions at a fairly young age. This could be because Snape favoured Draco and might have given him extra help in his class. In any case, he was able to pass his O.W.L. examination in the subject with a mark of at least Exceeds Expectations and most likely Outstanding, since he was apparently not lacking a book or ingredients in Professor Slughorn's first class.
• Defence Against the Dark Arts: Draco advanced to the N.E.W.T.-level class, so he achieved a high score on his O.W.L. exam.
• Non-verbal magic: Draco mastered non-verbal spells before his sixth year which included blocking jinxes non-verbally, which takes a lot of skill and concentration to do and only a few in his year had done it.
• Quidditch: He was quite a fine Quidditch player. He started flying at a younger age showing his skills in his first year. He made the team as a seeker in his second year, which was a very difficult position to acquire. Although his entrance into the team is enhanced due to his father bribing the team with the new Nimbus 2001 Broomsticks, he also had sufficient talent, although Harry still surpassed him in pure skill despite Draco's alleged experience and superior broomstick in their first game against each other. When Draco refused to play during his sixth year, his team suffered greatly due to his replacement did a poorer job, suggesting that no Slytherin during his time was more skillful than him.
• Duelling: Draco has been a very competent duellist for quite a while, a skill probably inherited from his parents. He was able to cast the Leg-Locker Curse in his first year, something Rubeus Hagrid said no first year would be able to do. The very next year, he could cast such a powerful hex that it threw his opponent across the room. By his sixth year, Draco could perform multiple jinxes nonverbally, something most sixth years cannot do whatsoever, whilst duelling Harry Potter.
• Transfiguration: Draco attended N.E.W.T.-level Transfiguration, meaning he achieved a high mark on his O.W.L. exam. In his second year with some simple advice from Snape, he was able to conjure a snake, which an advanced form of transfiguration learned in the sixth year and above.
• Charms: Draco was talented in charms, as he could cast Dancing Feet Spell in his second year and the Tooth-Growing Spell in his second and fourth years, respectively, and used both in terms of attacking Harry. By his sixth year, he was able to cast the very difficult Protean Charm, something that the only known student of the same age capable of was Hermione (albeit, he was known to have mastered it one year later than she could).
• Unforgivable Curses: Draco learned how to cast at least two of the Unforgivable Curses in his sixth year, the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse. Both of these were extremely difficult Dark spells that not even many adult wizards can perform; his skilled Aunt Bellatrix might have taught him those while she was teaching him Occlumency and non-verbal spells. His Imperius Curse was strong enough to hold down Madam Rosmerta for almost an entire year, while he used the Cruciatus Curse to punish Thorfinn Rowle. It is possible he has the capability (but not the willingness) to perform the Killing Curse as well, as he was assigned to kill Albus Dumbledore.
• Magical repair: Draco managed to repair the Vanishing Cabinet in his sixth year with some assistance from Borgin, though it did take him the majority of the year. The cabinet was smashed by Peeves in his second year and Draco repaired it despite the fact that the magical link between the two cabinets might have been damaged.
Family History: Draco was the only child of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black), who were both born into old, wealthy pureblood families. Through his mother, Draco was a descendant of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black and the great-great-great grandson of Phineas Nigellus Black. Both the Malfoys and the Blacks had traditionally been in Slytherin House for centuries and strongly disapproved of any relatives who did not follow this tradition. Draco was raised in an atmosphere of regret that the Dark Lord had not succeeded in taking command of the wizarding community, although he was prudently reminded that such sentiments ought not to be expressed outside the small circle of the family and their close friends ‘or Daddy might get into trouble’. The Malfoys were very proud of their pureblood and social status; until 1996, they were able to maintain a respectable public image while being allied with Lord Voldemort. Lucius was a Death Eater who avoided imprisonment in Azkaban following the First Wizarding War by claiming that he had been under the Imperius Curse, while Narcissa merely agreed with the ideology of pureblood supremacy. The Malfoys spoiled their son, giving him the best of everything as far as material possessions go. The only hand-me-down thing Draco ever received was the old family prejudice against Muggles, Muggle-borns, half-breeds, and blood traitors; in short, prejudice against anyone who was not a pureblood witch or wizard, or anyone who supports these types of people. In childhood, Draco associated mainly with the pureblood children of his father’s ex-Death Eater cronies, and therefore arrived at Hogwarts with a small gang of friends already made, including Theodore Nott and Vincent Crabbe. When the time came for Draco to attend school in 1991, his father wanted him to attend Durmstrang Institute, a school in Northern Europe that taught the Dark Arts and did not admit Muggle-borns, however his mother did not like the idea of Draco going to school far away, thus they sent him to Hogwarts.
When Draco went to Diagon Alley to shop for school supplies in 1991, he met Harry Potter in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, without knowing who he was. He made a rather intolerant speech about Muggle-borns and Rubeus Hagrid, but otherwise acted in quite a friendly manner towards Harry Potter. Afterwards, on the Hogwarts Express, he offered his friendship to Harry as his father believed that Harry was a Dark wizard and Draco wished to impress him and relay some interesting news home. However, Harry didn't like the attitude Draco expressed towards Ron Weasley, with whom Harry had already made friends, and also found that Draco reminded him of his cousin Dudley with his disdainful attitude. Thus, he turned him down, creating animosity that lasted through the rest of their schooling.
Once at Hogwarts, Draco was Sorted into the Slytherin house, like many other members of his family. He rapidly formed friendships with fellow Slytherins, while remaining hostile toward Harry Potter, marking them as rivals.
After the Battle of Hogwarts Lucius served a five year sentence in Azkaban for his crimes as a Death Eater, his sentence much milder then his fellow followers thanks to his wife's noble act of bravery in deceiving the Dark Lord and claiming Harry Potter to be dead when he was, in fact, still alive. Draco had no charges brought against him as a young Death Eater and having already graduated Hogwarts he took some time off to recover and find himself, which meant basically sitting at home in a near empty manor with his mother, going out to seedy pubs each night and doing things he'd regret the next morning. He fell into a spiraling depression for a few years following the war but things began looking brighter when he finally met his future wife, Astoria Greengrass. The two of them ate up at his inheritance, traveling the world and basking in their freedom and youth. They settled down in their mid 20's and together had a son whom they named Scorpius. He attended his first year at Hogwarts in 2017 and is currently in his fourth year.
This year Draco has been forced to get a job, after two decades of relaxing and taking it easy, he's found that unless he wants to diminish his families wealth he needs to get a job and provide. Problem is no place would hire him, being a former Death Eater, at least not any of the jobs he desired like working for the Ministry of Magic. So with scarce options left, Draco requested a meeting with his former Transfiguration professor, now Headmistress of Hogwarts, and asked if she was hiring at her school. McGonagall decided to hire him, on one condition, in an attempt at reforming the pureblood bigot, she offered him only one teaching post, professor of Muggle Studies and made it clear he could either take her generous offer or refuse and be on his merry way. Grudgingly Draco agreed and openly despises his job, although he does it well, being wise enough to know not to slack or else he'll risk losing employment. He teaches the students of Hogwarts about muggles and all their glorious inventions, he just isn't happy about it, his grumpiness even rivaling that of his old mentor, Severus Snape.
