Draco Malfoy

Draco Malfoy was born June 5th, 1980 to pure-bloods Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black). He has one sibling, a brother named Perseus (b. 2001). He entered Hogwarts in 1991 and was sorted into Slytherin.

Draco had a tumultuous childhood. Although spoiled and doted upon by his mother, his home was far from ideal. His father was emotionally and sometimes physically abusive of his mother and frequently cheated on her with her sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, in their home. As Draco grew, his father put increasing pressure on him to follow in his footsteps as a Death Eater. Draco likely would have gone that way had it not been for combined influence of his Head of House, Severus Snape, and his then-future husband Harry Potter. Thanks to them, Draco was able to see a life for himself out from under his father's thumb and he followed it. After a public display of affection for another boy in the winter of Draco's fifth year, Lucius brutally beat Draco. Desperate to get Draco out of that environment, Narcissa used what guile she had and convinced Lucius to disown Draco rather than continue to abuse him. From January 1996 through Fall 1998, Draco lived with and was under the care of Severus and Lily Snape. During his time as unofficial ward of Lily Snape, Draco largely ceased his romantic relationship with Harry.

As a young adult, Draco struggled with depression and other mental illness brought on by his childhood experiences. His living was largely made by depending on the kindness of his friends and loved ones as well as odd jobs here and there, not all of which were wholly legal or ethical. By the time his father died in 2004, Draco had largely conquered his demons. He now spends much of his time acting as advocate, mentor and support group leader for other survivors raised in Death Eater homes. He has no formal career and now lives off a large sum of money that he received from his mother following his father's demise.

Draco is married to his Hogwarts boyfriend Harry Potter, and together the two have two children - Alice Malfoy (b. 2000) and James Potter (b. 2004). Draco has very little contact with any member of his family of origin. He is very close with his husband's family, perhaps closer than Harry is.

Draco was largely removed from the Second Wizarding War, although he offered some background support to The Order of the Phoenix.
