**The Malfoy Family** is a wealthy pure-blood wizarding family and one of the Sacred Thirty. They lived in Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England. The Malfoys were related to many other pure-blood families, including the Blacks, Lestranges, Lightwood, Wayland, and Rosiers. They are also related to the Tonks, Lupin, Mikaelson, and Labonair families, of mixed wizarding and Muggle heritage, much to the Malfoys' disdain, as they were pure-blood supremacists, although they were not themselves against marrying Half-bloods.

The Malfoys gained a reputation for their pure-blood supremacy and heritage. During the First and Second Wizarding Wars, they supported Lord Voldemort and some members were even Death Eaters under his command.

## History

### Early History

The Malfoy family consisted of an ancient line of pure-blood wizards, most of whom attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and were traditionally sorted into Slytherin House. Like many other progenitors of noble English families, the wizard Armand Malfoy arrived in Britain with William the Conqueror as part of the invading Norman army. Having rendered unknown, shady, (and almost certainly magical) services to King William I, Malfoy was given a prime piece of land in Wiltshire, seized from local landowners, upon which his descendants have lived for ten consecutive centuries. Armand's descendants included many noble lords and other influential figures.

The Malfoy family soon gained their reputation for pure-blood supremacy and courting richness and power from those around them. Until the passing of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692, the Malfoys integrated themselves in high-class Muggle society. Though hotly denied by subsequent generations, there is ample evidence to suggest that the first Lucius Malfoy was an unsuccessful aspirant to the hand of Elizabeth I, and some wizarding historians allege that the Queen's subsequent opposition to marriage was due to a jinx placed upon her by the thwarted Malfoy. The Malfoys expanded their already large estate with the lands of their Muggle neighbours, and dabbled successfully into Muggle currency and assets, becoming one of the wealthiest families in wizarding Britain. A known company belonging to the Malfoy family was the Malfoy Apothecary, which sourced Superior Red wine, a name perhaps hinting at their characteristic blood purity. Though they opposed the Statute of Secrecy at first, they soon embraced it and cut off all ties with Muggle families, denying that they had ever fraternised with such people.

After this period, the Malfoys instead began to seek influence over the newly formed British Ministry of Magic, using their considerable wealth to do so. Though no Malfoy is known to have ever aspired for the position of Minister for Magic, many members of the family financed the elections of their preferred candidates for the post, even going so far as to pay to have the opposition hexed.

Notable Malfoys of past generations included the fourteenth-century Nicholas Malfoy, who was believed to have dispatched many a fractious Muggle tenant under the guise of the Black Death, though escaping censure by the Wizards' Council; Septimus Malfoy, who was greatly influential at the Ministry in the late eighteenth century, many claiming that Minister for Magic Unctuous Osbert was little more than his puppet, as well as Abraxas Malfoy, who was widely believed to be part of the shady plot that saw the first Muggle-born Minister (Nobby Leach) leave his post prematurely in 1968. However, nothing was ever proven against Malfoy.

Though the family was inclined to blood-purity, they were unwilling to practice the dangers of inbreeding with cousins, correctly knowing that it would and could potentially endanger their genes, and would accept marrying half-bloods due to the small pool of available pure-bloods. Hence, it is possible to find several half-bloods on the Malfoy family tree. This differed them from the more fanatical groups such as Blacks, Lestranges, and Gaunts, though apparently this did not deter their respect from such families, likely because of their riches.

### Recent History

Lucius Malfoy, the son of Abraxas Malfoy, was one of the few pure-blood wizards left by the late 20th century. He joined the Death Eaters when they came to power in the First Wizarding War. He married Narcissa Black, a fellow pure-blood of similar wealthy background, and they had one son, Draco, who later became Harry Potter's main rival in his school years. The Malfoy family was one of the first wizarding families to repent following Lord Voldemort's first defeat, claiming they had been bewitched, in 1981.

They allied themselves with him again during the Second Wizarding War, believing strongly in the notion of blood purity. However, Voldemort became displeased with Lucius for his failure to obtain the prophecy involving him, Harry Potter, and Hope Mikaelson in 1996. Draco proposes to Hope telling her that when they win the war they would be married and be with their twins, Scorpius and EJ. While Lucius was in Azkaban, Voldemort ordered his son Draco to kill Albus Dumbledore, a seemingly impossible task, as a way to punish Lucius.

After Dumbledore's death at the hands of Severus Snape and the Death Eaters' escape from Azkaban in 1997, the Malfoys had fallen out of favour with the Dark Lord. They were extremely uncomfortable with having their home used as his base of operations. Voldemort went as far as to strip Lucius of his wand during a Death Eaters meeting and even mocked the Malfoys for being related to the Tonks family, a family that contained Muggle ancestry and even a werewolf member.

Before Voldemort's ultimate defeat, the Malfoys switched sides; Narcissa and Emilia lied to the Dark Lord in assistance of Harry Potter and Hope Mikaelson, and neither they nor Lucius participated in any of the fighting's during the Battle of Hogwarts. None of the Malfoys were subsequently imprisoned in Azkaban because of this defection.

Draco then married Hope in 1998 and had three more children named Andrea, Lizzie, and Salem from 1999-2004. In 2017, Draco, Hope, Scorpius, and EJ were at King's Cross station to see Andrea, Lizzie, and Salem off to Hogwarts. All five of their children were sorted in Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Draco's marriage with Hope was met with the disapproval of his parents. While Hope is a half-blood she's a tribrid who turned their son into a hybrid and bared hybrid children into the family. She pushed Draco to stand up to his parents, which led to family reunions being fraught with tension.
