Draco went out of his way to try to save both of his friends, but he only managed to get Goyle, who had been stunned by Hermione during the fight, onto Ron and Hermione's broom before he let Harry fly them out. Crabbe was killed in the fire, leaving Draco very upset. Harry stunned the Death Eater and Ron punched Draco and called him a " two-faced bastard ", as this was the second time they saved his life that night.
Although Draco was unaware of this, his act in disarming Dumbledore before his death and mastering the Elder Wand ultimately resulted in the Dark Lord 's final defeat at the hands of Harry. This is due to the fact that Voldemort was unable to fully understand the Elder Wand's power and Harry disarming Draco of his wand resulted in him mastering the Elder Wand himself.
After Voldemort's defeat, Draco and his parents sat in the Great Hall , looking uncertain of their place during the victory celebrations. The events of Draco's teenage years forever changed his life. He had the beliefs in which he had grown up challenged in the most frightening way, had experienced terror and despair, witnessed his parents suffering for their allegiance, and had witnessed the crumbling of all that his family had believed in.
Draco and his family avoided imprisonment in Azkaban due to their last-minute switch in allegiance. Lucius found his son as affectionate as ever, but refusing to follow the old pure-blood line. Draco eventually married Astoria Greengrass , the younger sister of fellow Slytherin classmate Daphne Greengrass , [22] who had gone through a similar though less violent and frightening conversion from pure-blood ideals to a more accepting and tolerant way of life.
This was something of a disappointment for Lucius and Narcissa, who had higher hopes of someone whose family featured on the " Sacred Twenty-Eight ".
The two had a son together, named Scorpius Malfoy , who was raised by his mother not to believe that Muggles and Muggle-borns were scum; as such, family gatherings were fraught with tension. The relationship between Harry and Draco was much better than it had been when they were students together, but they were still not considered to be anything at all near friends.
Independently wealthy without any need to work, Draco inhabited Malfoy Manor with his wife and son. His hobbies — which included keeping the family's old collection of Dark artefacts which he did not use and kept in glass cases and studying alchemical manuscripts — were indications of his dual nature, and hint at a desire for something more than wealth.
Draco also teamed up with his former enemies to fight Delphini at St Jerome's Church in order to stop her from preventing Lord Voldemort's death. Draco was a slender boy with sleek white-blond hair, cold grey eyes, a pale complexion and rather sharp, pointed features. As an older man, his hairline was receding, making his features look even more pointed. Draco is noted to strongly resemble his father. 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 was getting more intense, Draco's smug countenance was lost, and he became quite thin, with dark shadows under his eyes and a greyish tinge to his skin. As an adult, Draco let his hair grow long and started wearing it in a precisely placed ponytail.
Draco was, in general, an arrogant, spiteful bully for most of his early years. Like Dudley Dursley , his narcissistic nature most likely stemmed from his being spoiled by his parents throughout his childhood, though according to Harry himself, Draco was even less sympathetic than his cousin. He believed himself superior to most people because of his family's pure-blood lineage as well as great wealth and social standing. He frequently behaved cruelly to Muggle-borns, 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. Draco was intelligent, cunning 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.
However, his plans could have limitations based on his own arrogance when dealing with people. When he attempted to sabotage Harry during the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw Quidditch match in their third year, his whole plan was based solely around the idea that the Dementors' appearance scared Harry, ignorant of the fact that it was the effect the Dementors had on him that caused Harry problems. Draco was also adept at compartmentalising his emotions, as is evidenced in his success with Occlumency.
However, something began to change in Draco's psyche in his sixth year at Hogwarts. After Lord Voldemort made him a Death Eater , he gave Draco 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 fulfil 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, and he attempted a Cruciatus Curse on Harry, despite the consequences of a life sentence in Azkaban.
Over the course of the year, the mission also led Draco to neglect other aspects of his school life that he would previously have abused or enjoyed: 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 earlier when he would ensure the entire match was postponed by exaggerating a minor injury in order to suit the team's interest; he missed two Transfiguration homework assignments; 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 being tempted to take Dumbledore's offer of protection for his parents.
He reluctantly participated in Death Eater activities and by the end of the war, remained on the fence. Also, during the Battle of Hogwarts, he showed genuine concern for Crabbe and Goyle, something he rarely did. By the time Draco become an adult, he had became a noticeably changed man, due to his regret over joining the Death Eaters and the vile deeds he had to perform, even if only limited compared to his parents, and any of his old bigotry was lost, refusing to follow in line with the old pure-blood beliefs after having seen first-hand what happened to him and his parents for that.
Due to this, he fell deeply in love with Astoria Malfoy despite the disappointments of his parents over her failing to meet their hopes of someone from one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. As a husband, Draco was very loving and devoted and was even fully willing to let the Malfoy bloodline end to protect her from her family's curse as it made childbirth dangerous and detrimental to her health, which he maintained even despite Lucius's dislike, only relenting after Astoria said she wanted to leave behind a child for him and not for family beliefs.
His wisdom shone by the fact that even though the temptation of using his family's secret Time Turner to see his wife just for one more minute was admittedly great, his respect for her desires and memory were too great to risk jeopardising the timeline for his beloved, showing how deeply Draco had fallen in love with her, as even though he had the power to alter time to be with her, he was able to, even if barely, resist such overwhelming temptation, showing how much his character had changed by the age of forty.
Although Scorpius 's birth would cause Astoria's death, Draco's love for his son was clearly great, considering the day he was born the greatest day of his life. Having seen how his parents spoiled him had caused him to become such a horrible man in his younger days, Draco strove to do better and henceforth he raised his son to be a better person.
He did not let his histories with Harry, Ron and Hermione hamper his judgement towards Scorpius's bond with Albus Potter and crush on Rose Granger-Weasley , children of his former rivals, fully supporting his son instead. His love for Scorpius was shown by how he showed no hesitation to give any Malfoy Family objects to his rivals if it would help in his son being found.
In fact, he actually trusted Albus greatly, as he allowed him to connect with Scorpius when he couldn't after Astoria died, and genuinely care for the boy for what he meant to his son. Draco even went as far as to protest to Harry for having made Albus distant from Scorpius, showing how much he valued the friendship between Albus and Scorpius.
Draco was more strict with Scorpius than his parents were to him, accepting that his son must be punished for having brought the wizarding world back to the times where Voldemort was in power.
His personal relationships with his old school rivals has also changed from antagonistic to being civil and tolerating. While he continued to mock Harry's friends for them only being so popular because of Harry and didn't trust them fully with matters regarding his son, as he gave a cold reply letter to Ginny's offer to having Scorpius stay in the Potter House, particularly being enraged at them for the rumours that Scorpius was Voldemort's son, he was more than willing to team up with Harry, Ron and Hermione to save both Albus and Scorpius and worked with them effectively to dispatch Delphini , despite her being the daughter of Voldemort and his aunt Bellatrix.
This defiance of Delphini showed that even having the Dark Lord's daughter being a blood relative was a repugnant notion to Draco, wanting little to do with his Death Eater past, further shown by how he would attend and help his rivals in defeating what remained of the forces of darkness.
By this time, Draco also began referring to Voldemort by his name rather than the "Dark Lord" as he did in his youth due to his self-redemption. He had came to trust the luck and instincts of both Harry and Hermione, taking the orders of the Minister For Magic without hesitation, even expressing he was impressed with her battle commands, albeit in a mildly amused manner, acknowledging Harry was always ready to solve the thickest of situations, and he even went as far as to confess to Harry that he never truly craved power like his father and that his ambition was actually to become a star Quidditch player, but he wasn't good enough, and mainly he just wanted to be happy along with the truth of Astoria's death, [25] and his envy of Harry's friendships, as he only ever had Crabbe and Goyle, outright acknowledging Harry as a friend and showing respect for him, which was mutually returned by Harry.
Draco was a talented wizard from a young age and possessed several impressive magical abilities. His wand was made of hawthorn , which one should only ever consider placing in the hands of a witch or wizard of proven talent.
Following his training from his aunt Bellatrix Lestrange , Draco grew to be an accomplished wizard for his age. Draco attending a first year Potions class. Draco casting the Snake Summons Spell in Draco's hawthorn wand. Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy both spoiled their only child. In , Narcissa sent packages of sweets daily to her son. In , Lucius bought broomsticks for the entire Slytherin Quidditch team when Draco was made Seeker , and Narcissa often sent care packages to her son.
She also refused to send Draco abroad to Durmstrang Institute , as Lucius originally wanted, insisting he stay closer to home by attending Hogwarts , despite Lucius's desire to keep Draco away from the influence of Muggle-borns in Hogwarts and also because Durmstrang Institute was known to teach dark arts rather than just the defences which was why Lucius Malfoy had wanted Draco a place in that school, but, finally fulfilling Narcissa's wish for him to study somewhere not too far from home.
Lucius was colder and more demanding than his wife, criticising his son for getting lower school marks than Hermione Granger who was Muggle-born. Despite this, Draco greatly admired his father, often boasting about his influence and striving to be like him. Narcissa Malfoy , Draco's mother. It became clear during the Second Wizarding War that the Malfoys cared about one another more than they cared for following Lord Voldemort. Draco carried out the task he was assigned by Voldemort in his sixth year because his parents' lives were threatened, and appeared to be close to accepting Dumbledore 's offer to keep them safe before Severus Snape interceded to kill the Headmaster.
Narcissa went so far as to lie directly to Voldemort about Harry Potter being dead, in order to be allowed to return to Hogwarts and search for Draco, which also follows the saying that Harry Potter had been saved by a mother's love more than once.
Like his parents, Draco possesses the formidable skill of duelling , Occlumency , and the Cruciatus and Imperius Curses and is smart, quick and a smart retorter. However, after the war, Draco's relationship with his parents may have somewhat faltered, as his marriage with Astoria led them to think she is a somewhat disappointing daughter-in-law, mainly because Astoria's change of belief after the atrocities brought by Death Eaters' ideology, something they find unfitting for a fellow member of one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight clans.
Draco himself has lost his bigotry for less-than-pure wizards, and his willingness to let the Malfoy bloodline end at himself in order to preserve Astoria's health due to her blood-bourne curse earned Lucius' dislike.
Regardless, he did not lose favour of his parents, as he inherited the Malfoy Manor and Lucius' collection of artefacts which included the "true" Time-Turner that proved instrumental later.
Draco with his wife and son. Sometime after the end of the war, Draco married Astoria Greengrass , whose older sister was in the same year as him at Hogwarts. They eventually had a son named Scorpius. Draco and his wife evidently loved and cared for their son, raising him to be a better person than himself, proven when Scorpius has a crush on Rose Granger-Weasley daughter of Draco's former rivals and is best friend of Albus Potter youngest son of Draco's former arch-rival he and his wife considered the day their son was born the best day of their lives.
Astoria's death has caused Draco to be heartbroken, and he even considered using the illegal "true" Time-Turner he received from his father as a means to see her again, though he barely resisted the urge.
Draco would have gladly let the Malfoy family line end with him if it were to preserve Astoria's health, disregarding Lucius' wishes, but Astoria did want to leave behind someone for her husband, not for the sake of family beliefs.
Draco certainly raised Scorpius more strictly than how Lucius and Narcissa raised him, as when Scorpius was to be punished by Minerva McGonagall for utilising the Time-Turner to corrupt reality to the point of reviving Voldemort, Draco stated he was prepared to listen to how his son is to be punished. Bellatrix Lestrange , his maternal aunt. When Draco was younger he didn't have much contact with his aunt because she was imprisoned in Azkaban for torturing the Aurors Alice and Frank Longbottom , who were the parents of Neville Longbottom, a fellow Gryffindor in Draco's year, into insanity.
However, Draco did not feel any shame in his aunt's crimes against the wizarding world law that many would label as disgraceful. After Bellatrix escaped in Draco's fifth year at Hogwarts, she fought in a battle against Harry Potter and his friends and was the only Death Eater who wasn't captured; Draco's father, who had also fought, was imprisoned. After Draco was given a mission as a Death Eater, Bellatrix helped him and taught him Occlumency , nonverbal spells, and the Dark Arts.
She also thought that Narcissa should be proud that her son became a Death Eater. In , Bellatrix lived for some months at Malfoy Manor , to be closer to Voldemort, who was also staying there. It is unknown how Draco reacted to her death, but it is likely he may have felt sadness as Bellatrix seemed to have some affection with Draco.
However, given that Draco and his family regretted their allegiance with Voldemort, and that Draco abandoned his prejudice against non-pure bloods after the war, it is possible his opinion on Bellatrix changed considerably as she was fanatically loyal to, and obsessively in love with, Voldemort. Also, despite Delphini being Bellatrix's daughter, Draco did not hesitate to assist in her arrest after she had threatened his son's life. Nymphadora Tonks , his maternal first cousin.
Draco was not close to his aunt Andromeda Tonks , who had been disowned for marrying Muggle-born Ted Tonks , or their daughter, his cousin Nymphadora. Like much of the rest of his family, Draco likely held these relatives in contempt; Andromeda was considered a blood traitor and Tonks was a half-blood. Since Draco was too scared of Voldemort to respond his feelings on the subject are unknown. Tonks refereed to him as " The Malfoy boy " indicating she either did not know his name or despised him too much to care.
Neither so much as mentioned their relation to one another. Similarly, Draco was indifferent to his first cousin once removed, Sirius Black. Sirius Black , his maternal first cousin, once removed. His cousin, the illegitimate child of Bellatrix Lestrange , his aunt, and Tom Riddle , his former leader, was Delphini , whom he helped Harry Potter fight in the year , after discovering she was Voldemort's daughter, and after she tried to kill his son Scorpius.
He did not have any love for Delphi, as he assisted arresting her for the murder of Craig Bowker Jnr. Crabbe and Goyle were often involved in Draco's confrontations with Harry Potter and his friends. Though Draco often made it clear that he considered both of them rather stupid — a legitimate claim — and treated them more like lackeys than friends [17] , he showed genuine concern for them and the rest of his gang on a few occasions; when Goyle was bitten by Scabbers the Rat, Draco waited for Goyle before leaving, and he also showed concern for Goyle when he was hit by Harry's Curse, when Dumbledore expressed his disgust with Draco for allowing Fenrir Greyback "into the school where his friends live," Draco denied knowing he would be there, clearly disturbed by the sadistic werewolf 's unexpected presence.
Draco's abrupt departure from his criminal activities left Crabbe and Goyle looking oddly lonely to Harry, as Harry was used to seeing Draco in between the two hulking boys, bossing them around. By the final confrontation between Draco and Harry in the Room of Requirement , during the Battle of Hogwarts , Draco no longer exerted much control over his friends; Crabbe, in particular, responded harshly to Draco's attempts to prevent them from killing Harry.
Draco tried desperately to save both of his friends from the cursed fire Crabbe unleashed, helping pull Goyle onto Ron and Hermione's broom before letting Harry fly the two of them out, and was very upset by Crabbe's death. Although it was Ron and Hermione who saved Goyle from falling into the fire, if it wasn't for Draco who dragged Goyle to safety, Ron and Hermione would never had saved Goyle, so it can be considered that Draco saved Goyle's life.
In , an adult Draco admitted to Harry and his wife that his relationship with Crabbe and Goyle could never really have been called friendship, as they had little in common except the prejudices they had inherited from their families, and Crabbe and Goyle were far too stupid to be reliable cohorts in much.
Draco also admitted that he had always envied Harry's close friendship with Ron and Hermione, in stark contrast to the emptiness of his relationship with his two "best friends" at Hogwarts. Pansy Parkinson , his friend who had a crush on him. She often fawned over him, laughing loudly at his snide jokes, showing great concern when Draco was injured by Buckbeak in their third year, [17] and accompanying him to the Yule Ball in They are noted as being particularly cosy in their sixth year at Hogwarts, seen in the Hogwarts Express with Draco's head in Pansy's lap, Pansy stroking Draco's hair, and wasted no time in vilifying Harry for unintentionally slashing Draco with a deadly curse.
Whether she was ever his girlfriend is unknown, but Draco eventually married Astoria Greengrass. Draco was also friends with Theodore Nott , one of the few people whom he considered an equal, given that Theodore was just as pure-blooded and somewhat cleverer than him.
However, Theodore was a solitary person who did not feel compelled to join any gang, including Draco's. It is also said that they had known each other prior to their arrival at Hogwarts. He was also friends with Blaise Zabini during their sixth year, as they sat together at Hogwarts Express, where they discussed Harry Potter , Neville Longbottom , and Ginny Weasley , who had all become members of the Slug Club.
Blaise was also one of the few people Draco had told about his mission, however he didn't seem to think highly of Draco's new position. Draco also appeared to be friendly with Marcus Flint , as shown when Flint defended Draco against Fred and George Weasley, and again when he assisted Draco and his gang in their attempts to psych Harry out during a Quidditch game by disguising as dementors. Flint however did not hesitate to shout at Draco after he failed to catch a snitch despite it flying within his reach he was too busy making fun of Harry to notice.
Severus Snape , his favourite teacher and former head of house. Snape, in turn, took Draco as his favourite student and showed him undeserved lenience on several occasions, which likely had something to do with Snape's long-time comradeship with Draco's father, or on the pretext of it, given that Snape defected from the Death Eaters.
Draco even stated that Snape should apply for the position of Headmaster, after Dumbledore was suspended. However, after Lucius's imprisonment in Azkaban , Draco came to resent and mistrust Snape, believing him to have usurped his father's place in the ranks of the Death Eaters, and that he was trying to take Draco's chance of glory as well.
As such, Draco avoided Snape most of the year, refused any assistance, and even verbally assaulted him. However, Snape continued to protect him as when Draco was caught lurking outside of Professor Slughorn's Christmas party, and did not punish Draco when the boy refused to answer his summons to the office, something other students would not get off with so easily and which Draco took advantage of.
Snape continued to protect Draco even after they fled from the Battle of the Astronomy Tower together; when questioned by Voldemort about Draco's actions during his attempted murder of Dumbledore, Snape lied and told the Dark Lord that Malfoy hadn't lowered his wand and emphasised the young student's ability to get Death Eaters into Hogwarts as well as cornering Dumbledore, which allowed Snape to kill him. Snape's defence of Malfoy saved the boy's life and convinced Voldemort to free Lucius Malfoy from Azkaban, for which Draco reconciled with Snape.
It is unknown how Draco reacted when he learned about Snape's death by Lord Voldemort in , during the Battle of Hogwarts , or of his true loyalty to the Order of the Phoenix due to his love for the Muggle-born mother of Harry Potter , Lily Evans. However, given Draco's own disillusionment with the Death Eater cause and subsequent rapprochement with Harry, it is likely that Draco came to sympathise with his late teacher. In addition, it is possible that Draco's aforementioned detente with Harry as adults might have been motivated, at least in part, to avoid having a similar relationship that Snape had with Harry's father and his friends after their own Hogwarts years.
Harry Potter , his school rival and enemy turned ally and later friend. Draco became Harry Potter's arch-rival almost immediately after they met, just before their first year at Hogwarts. Draco was at first interested in Harry because he was so famous, but Harry was unimpressed by his arrogant manner. For the rest of their time at school, Harry and Draco loathed each other and tried one up each other whenever possible, although Harry compared to Ron was less prone to incorporating violence on Draco.
This reached its pinnacle after Lucius Malfoy was sent to Azkaban following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. After finding out what Draco had gone through during their sixth year, Harry began to feel somewhat sorry for him, a feeling intensified by witnessing the use to which Lord Voldemort was putting him.
During that year, Harry nearly killed Draco with one of the Half-Blood Prince's curse Sectumsempra which he used by accident, unaware of what the effects of the curse were.
Harry himself felt utterly horrified and guilty at what he did. In turn, Harry saved his life twice during the Battle of Hogwarts. Over the years, Draco and Harry made their peace as adults, but still were not friends by the time Scorpius and Albus started school. This later developed into a more cordial relationship due to Scorpius and Albus being best friends.
Draco would grow to trust Harry's luck and instincts over the years, and knew that Harry was always in the thick of the action when it was necessary.
Draco would grow to have a deep respect and friendly relationship with Albus Potter and trusted him with helping Scorpius heal from the grief of losing his mother. During the Delphini crisis, Draco would come to confess much to Harry, discussing at first in a rather distant manner, but upon revealing key details about his wife prior to and after her death as well as his family's hidden Time Turner, Draco and Harry finally came to a mutual respect for one another, and saw each other as friends for the first time, though it still did not heal everything in spite of many confessions.
Draco even admitted that he had always envied Harry, Ron, and Hermione's friendship. Draco was first cousins, twice removed, with at least one member of the Potter family , through the Black family. It is almost certain that the said Potter was related to Harry, but it is unknown whether Harry and Draco were aware of it. Draco also wrote the lyrics to the demeaning song Weasley is Our King , which was meant to undermine Ron's abilities as a Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Although this enmity seems to have faded with age, Ron discouraged his daughter Rose from becoming friends with Draco's son, Scorpius.
Draco had less interaction with other members of the Weasley family. Fred and George Weasley attempted twice to physically assault Draco; The first time was when he called Hermione Granger a "filthy little Mudblood " [13] and the second time after Draco insulted their mother and father , as well as Harry Potter's mother, Lily Evans earning both twins, as well as Harry, a "lifetime Quidditch ban" from Dolores Umbridge and made sure to hex Draco, along with other members of the Inquisitorial Squad , when they left Hogwarts.
Hermione Granger , his former enemy and whom he used to bully. Draco's relationship with Hermione Granger was coloured before the two even met, although they never actually interacted until their second year.
Draco was raised to believe in the inferiority of Muggle-borns , and by his second year, his father had told him he should be ashamed that Hermione beat him in all of his school marks. Thus, Draco often taunted Hermione, calling her the derogatory epithet " Mudblood ", but she refused to ever be bullied. During the period when Salazar Slytherin 's Basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets was attacking Muggle-born students, Malfoy told his friends Crabbe and Goyle really Harry and Ron using Polyjuice Potion in the Slytherin common room that he hoped Granger would be the next victim.
In , when Ron encouraged their daughter not to associate with Draco's son, Hermione expressed a more conciliatory attitude. Draco's son Scorpius would eventually develop a deep crush and even fall in love with Hermione's daughter, Rose Granger-Weasley.
Although their relationship slightly improved after the war, Draco quipped a few times during the ambush of Delphini in Godric's Hollow on October 31st, , that he was both astounded and mildly enjoying taking battle commands from Hermione, finding the situation darkly amusing.
Neville Longbottom , his former enemy and whom he used to bully. The initially shy and clumsy Neville regularly found himself on the receiving end of insults from Draco and his gang , and was often the butt of their jokes and pranks -- a fact which served only to make Neville clumsier and less confident. Encouraged by Hermione, Ron, and Harry to stand up for himself, Neville grew to be someone who was much more difficult to bully by his later years at Hogwarts, resisting not only the Slytherin students, but also Alecto and Amycus Carrow and Severus Snape.
During the Battle of Hogwarts , Neville proved to have made an impressive and complete turn around from his earlier years of crumbling under Draco's bullying, when he openly defied Lord Voldemort and beheaded Nagini , effectively destroying Voldemort's final Horcrux. Albus Dumbledore , his former headmaster. Draco showed particular dislike for the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, who was in favour of complete acceptance of Muggle-borns , a contradictory view to that of the Malfoys '.
As such, Draco often ridiculed Dumbledore's ideals and choices. He was excited at first when given the mission to kill Dumbledore, with the desire to redeem his family name and avenge his father, even daring to use the derogatory term " Mudblood " in front of the Headmaster, the latter of which displeased Dumbledore.
However, Dumbledore pitied Draco when he became a Death Eater, as he knew that Voldemort had forced Draco to his bidding by threatening Draco's parents. Furthermore, when Dumbledore offered to save Draco from the Death Eaters , Draco seemed inclined to accept the offer before the exchange was interrupted by the arrival of his fellow Death Eaters. When Draco witnessed Snape killing Dumbledore, he appeared horrified, which likely compounded his regret of ever becoming a Death Eater. Also before his fourth year, Draco referred to Dumbledore as a Mudblood-lover.
Dolores Umbridge , his former D. Accustomed to the preferential treatment he received from Severus Snape , and reaping the benefits of his family's connections and status, Draco tried to use his grandfather 's good name to get close to Horace Slughorn , though Slughorn did little more than ignore him. Draco showed contempt for the teachers who lacked status or didn't fit his or his family's standards of blood purity, such as Remus Lupin , who was a Werewolf and consequently tended to look ragged and poor; Rubeus Hagrid , an unkempt half-giant ; and Alastor Moody Barty Crouch, Jnr in disguise , who was an Auror known for the extensive list of Death Eaters he had captured, as well as his intense paranoia.
Draco refrained from being too openly contemptuous toward the ex-auror due to fear. Incidentally, during the Ministry's smear campaign against Dumbledore, the same three teachers were cited as "eccentric decisions" made by Dumbledore, and evidence of his diminishing competence in the position Headmaster.
Draco often found himself at odds with Head of Gryffindor House Professor McGonagall , who never played favourites with any student, least of all Malfoy, though he showed her some level of grudging respect, while she did not accept Harry's accusations of Draco's crimes without sufficient evidence. Draco similarly seemed to feel some respect toward Filius Flitwick. Draco also disliked the caretaker Argus Filch because he was a Squib and never hesitated to punish Draco, although they did work together in the Inquisitorial Squad.
During Draco's second year, when the Chamber of Secrets was opened a second time, Draco jeered to the disguised Harry and Ron that the first time the Chamber was opened, a Mudblood died — that "Mudblood" being Myrtle. During Draco's sixth year, when he was assigned by Lord Voldemort to kill Albus Dumbledore, he became stressed out from the difficulty of the mission and the consequences of failure.
Surprisingly, despite Draco's prejudice against Muggle-borns , Draco apparently visited Myrtle regularly in a bathroom, where he confided in and even openly cried in front of her. In turn, she was under the impression that Draco was a sensitive boy who was being bullied which was true, though Myrtle would not have known Lord Voldemort was the one bullying him.
This may be one of the rare moments that Draco showed something other than disgust for Muggle-borns, though it is unknown whether he was aware of Myrtle's blood status and connection to the Chamber of Secrets' opening during Voldemort's time at Hogwarts. Lord Voldemort , his former master and former idol turned enemy. Although Draco originally admired and respected Lord Voldemort, he came to fear him after having his family's safety threatened.
Draco joined the Death Eaters at age sixteen, when Lord Voldemort threatened to kill his parents if he failed in his mission to assassinate Albus Dumbledore. In fact, Voldemort wanted to punish Lucius Malfoy for not retrieving a Prophecy from the Department of Mysteries in his assumption that Draco would fail and have to be punished accordingly.
After Voldemort's final defeat, Draco was not imprisoned, as he and his family had deserted the Death Eaters prior to Voldemort's defeat. Although it is unknown if Draco ever learnt this, it was ironically his act in disarming Dumbledore before his death and unknowingly mastering the Elder Wand which prevented Voldemort from fully mastering the wand's power. Draco, in turn, was disarmed by Harry of his wand during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor , thereby giving Harry mastery of the Elder Wand.
When Harry told Voldemort these facts, the latter simply dismissed them, arguing that they made no difference and that Voldemort threatened to "attend to [i. Fortunately for the Malfoys, this arrogant indifference ultimately resulted in his final defeat at the hands of Harry Potter,.
By , Draco had become so disillusioned from the Death Eater cause due to his experiences with Voldemort that he Draco helped the Trio defeat Voldemort's daughter Delphini in her plan to save Voldemort from his first downfall back in What was rather remarkable about Draco's involvement in this escapade was that Delphini was the illegitimate daughter of Draco's aunt Bellatrix, and therefore Draco's cousin.
This defiance of Delphini and Voldemort demonstrated that Draco wanted so little to do with his erstwhile master that even having the Dark Lord's daughter being a blood relative was a repugnant notion to him. Draco also might have been motivated by a desire to redeem himself from his Death Eater past.
During this period in his life, Draco also began referring to Voldemort by his name rather than the "Dark Lord" as he did in his youth, which might have been motivated by his self-redemption.
Malfoy appeared to be very popular with the team. This is most likely because during his second year his father bought the team new and faster brooms. Also, the rest of the team appeared to have the same views as he did because they smirked when Malfoy called Hermione Granger a " Mudblood " and laughed when a curse backfired on Ronald Weasley after the disagreement with Hermione Granger. Draco also appeared to be somehow related to one of the team members — Marcus Flint — through his maternal 2nd great-grandfather , who married the pure-blooded Ursula of the Flint family.
Draco's father and partial namesake, Lucius Malfoy. Draco Malfoy as a POP! Rowling has commented that Draco is very capable of compartmentalising his life, which makes him skilled at Occlumency and at bullying others. She also compared Draco to his first cousin once removed, Regulus Black , in that they were both initially attracted to the Death Eater organisation, but " the reality of what it meant was way too much to handle ".
She has stated that there is " a real moral cowardice to Draco ", but that he is not "wholly bad". Harry Potter Wiki Explore.

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. It's people they feel sorry for.
