**Draco Lucius Malfoy** is a canonical pure-blood wizard and Hogwarts student in Harry's year, sorted into Slytherin; he is one of the main antagonists of the canon books. The son of Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, he grew up steeped in the pure-blood supremacy ideology and took the Dark Mark himself at sixteen, but soon lost his faith in it and eventually defected, together with his parents, during the Battle of Hogwarts. After the war, he married Astoria Greengrass, with whom he had a single son Scorpius in 2005/06; however, she died in 2019.

Main article: **Draco Malfoy** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
On their first trip to Hogwarts, Draco tried to befriend Harry but the way he treated Ron gave Harry associations to his cousin Dudley, and so he turned Draco down. This was the start of a long-time animosity towards Harry, and in the following years Draco and his friends Crabbe and Goyle went out of their way to make his life as hard as they could.

Draco became seeker for the Slytherin quidditch team in his second year, a position he held until at least his sixth, when — in order to spend more time on his work for Voldemort — he pretended to be too sick to play. It is not known if he had the time to play during his seventh year.

In his fifth year he became a prefect and, later in the year, joined Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad.

In his sixth year, Draco had a mission from Voldemort to kill Dumbledore. He made two direct attempts, one with a cursed necklace and one with poisoned mead, but both failed. Eventually, he managed to complete his main plan: to repair a damaged Vanishing Cabinet, through which he let Death Eaters into the school. During the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, he disarmed Dumbledore but found himself unable to cast the final blow; instead Snape, fulfilling his unbreakable vow to Narcissa as well as the orders of Dumbledore himself, fired off the actual killing curse.

In his seventh year, he spent the Easter holiday at Malfoy manor, where he refused to positively identify Harry, Hermione and Ron after they had been captured. Later, during the Battle of Hogwarts, he chose not to evacuate the castle with the other Slytherin students but instead set out to find Harry — likely in an attempt to appease Voldemort, although some fanfics let him act more or less the same for quite different reasons. The hunt ended with Crabbe setting fire to the Room of Requirement, killing himself in the process, and Draco and Goyle were only saved by the intervention of Harry, Ron and Hermione. After this, there is scant evidence that he had much direct impact on the battle, but the knowledge that he was alive and in the castle was what let his mother lie to Voldemort and tell him that Harry was dead.

### *The Code*

Main article: Draco Malfoy in The Code
In this story, Draco is a genius, or at least close to one, but he very early realized that the best way to use his intelligence was to hide it from everybody, including his parents. After attending a few informal Death Eater meetings during the summer of 1996, he has started to question Voldemort's cause, but doesn't expect anybody would believe him if he tried to defect; thus, when his friend Blaise Zabini comes out as pro-Equality, he makes a show of threatening him for it (to make sure Harry and his friends realize Blaise's choice is sincere) but secretly act to keep him safe from other Slytherins.

He quickly builds a rapport with Bill Weasley, who is now teaching Study of Ancient Runes and does not treat him based on his behaviour during the past five years, until he realizes that Bill is spying on Death Eaters meetings and starts suspecting him of building that rapport intentionally as part of his spying.

### *A Godfather's Promise*

Here, Draco is said to hit incessantly on Daphne Greengrass despite being in a relationship with Pansy Parkinson. When Harry finds out about his Potter Stinks badges before he has distributed them and adds a self-destructive rune cluster, he ends up in the hospital wing together with a large part of the student body, and loses 300 House points.

### *Isolation*

Main article: Draco Malfoy in Isolated
In this slightly AU story, Voldemort does not take control of Hogwarts until early 1998, and Snape, trying to hide Draco from the Dark Lord's wrath, manages to convince Headmistress McGonagall to house him. He is placed in the Gryffindor Head Boy room under the watching eye of Head Girl Hermione, who has elected to stay in the castle to research horcruxes. As the months pass, the two of them are forced to learn to get along and eventually start to become friends, and more. Then Voldemort attacks and they have to flee; Draco is sent to a safe house operated by his aunt Andromeda Tonks where he meets other "Enlightened" Slytherin students who have cut ties with Voldemort and their families – among others his childhood friend Theodore Nott, and Blaise Zabini, who is now dating Luna.

Draco is briefly reunited with Hermione when she, Harry and Ron are rescued from Malfoy manor by Dobby — and Harry gets his chance to defeat him to win the loyalty of the Elder Wand — but the horcrux hunt must go on and while Draco has made peace with Hermione there is still too much bad blood between him and Harry and Ron to let him join them. Instead he has to live at Andromeda's, fretting over the Potterwatch news bulletins, until Tonks shows up on the eve of the Battle of Hogwarts to drop off Teddy, and he and his friends leave with her to join in the fight. Draco saves Fred Weasley, but sees Lucius kill Theo. When he gets the chance he manages not to return the favor but instead merely breaks his father's wand; however, when Lucius tries to apparate away he splices himself fatally.

After the war, Draco and Hermione eventually marry and have children: Taura in 2004 and Theo in 2008.

### *Ignore the Dementor*

Main article: Draco Malfoy in Ignore the Dementor
In this creature!fic, Draco is secretly an eros and thus a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures; his bad boy persona is largely an act to keep his parents happy (his creature genes "skipped generations", so they are their normal selves except for viewing him as an embarrassment, perhaps somewhat similar to how the Dursleys view Harry). He met Astoria Greengrass when he was five, and as an eros immediately knew she was his mate (even though he was too young to actually know what that meant), but he never developed past thinking of her as a sister; instead, when Neville Longbottom (a high elf and fellow club member) fell in love with him he eventually found himself returning the feelings. After Harry, turned into a dementor, joins the club in fifth year the two slowly become friends as well.

When, in the following summer, Draco is chosen to take the Dark Mark, Voldemort breaks through his occlumency barriers and finds out about his relationship with Harry. Draco immediately uses an emergency portkey Neville gave him for just such an eventuality, but the death eaters are able to follow him even through the Fidelius Charm on Longbottom Manor, and so he calls out to the HSMC for help; he also finally accepts, and simultaneously rejects, Astoria as his mate, in order to get access to his bow, the main offensive weapon of an eros. He and Neville manage to take out several death eaters, including Bellatrix Lestrange and Nagini, but eventually are overwhelmed and when the cavalry arrives they find Draco being tortured by his father. After the battle he gives evidence to the aurors about crimes committed by his mother and other people not present at the battle, and Snape becomes his legal guardian; although his status as an eros is revealed in the trials, he returns to Hogwarts and eventually he marries Neville. There is mention of "eros-elves" presumably intended as their children, although the mechanics behind that are never discussed.

### *The Prisoner*

Main article: Draco Malfoy in The Prisoner
**Trigger warnings:** Rape, incest
In the summer of 1996, after Draco takes he Dark Mark, Bellatrix Lestrange decides to create a perfectly pure pure-blood by joining two branches of the Black family tree. Draco is disgusted by the idea but cannot evade her Imperius, nor the Incarcerous or Cruciatus in the following nights; eventually he stops resisting in order to lessen the physical pain, although the emotional hurt (and the self-hatred for his biological reactions in the absence of direct pain) only grows worse. It finally ends a week before school starts, when Bellatrix finds herself pregnant and thus has no more need of his "help". However, when the child is born two months early and with several medical issues, she declares that Draco should kill it and that they will try again next summer. Draco, seeing himself in the baby's features, instead takes his son to St Mungo's for treatment; for the rest of the term, he sneaks out of school most nights to visit – delaying the completion of the Vanishing Cabinet until early June – and drops out entirely from his seventh year.

Having lost any faith he may have had in the pure-blood supremacy cause, he uses the need to care for his son as a reason to abstain from participating in Death Eater raids, so when Luna Lovegood is kidnapped at Christmas of 1997, it is soon suggested that she is set to work as a nurse-maid to free Draco to do the Dark Lord's bidding. Draco reluctantly agrees, and the two slowly grow closer through their joint care for Caelum.
