Draco Malfoy

Draco Lucius Malfoy (b. 5 June 1980) was a British pure-blood wizard and the hero of the Rights and Wrongs series. He was the only son of Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy and later the husband of Astoria Greengrass and father of Scorpius Malfoy.

Parents
"Lucius Malfoy: “You're exceptionally talented. With your name and your mind, you could easily become Minister of Magic. But, if you would like to play Quidditch, or teach, that is perfectly acceptable as well.” Draco Malfoy: “You mean it? You wouldn't be terribly disappointed if I played Quidditch? Or if I take over for Rubeus Hagrid as Magical Creatures professor?” Lucius Malfoy:“I want you to be happy, Draco. Find what makes you happy. And I'll get it for you.” —Lucius and Draco on Draco’s 14th birthday"

Draco had a complicated relationship with his father Lucius. As a child, Draco admired and loved Lucius, and continued to fear his disappointment in him and wanted to impress him after reaching his adulthood. However, knowing Lucius’ coldness and dangerousness, Draco was also suspicious of his actions and tried to keep him away from the things he loved, including Hermione Granger. Their relationship became particularly strained during and after the Second Wizarding War. Draco had a deep mistrust in Lucius, leading to his misjudge of Lucius’ motivation of getting involved in the relationship between Draco and Hermione.

Narcissa loved her son with full support and had no intention to hide it. She was assumed to be the first person who noticed Draco’s feelings for Hermione when he complained about her to his parents during Christmas in first year. She seemed to be more emotionally open and intimate, and less demanding to her son than her husband was. She also had initiative to contribute Draco’s relationship with Hermione, by instructing Draco to act on her behalf and befriending Hermione.

Hermione Granger
"Hermione Granger: “When did this start for you?” Draco Malfoy: “Fourth year.” Hermione Granger: “I win.”""Hermione Granger: “You tried to buy me at the Auction…because you have feelings for—” Draco Malfoy: “Because I love you.”""— Draco’s confession of his feelings for Hermione Granger in different universes"

Cross-universe background
Hermione Granger had been the longtime school crush and the love of life of Draco. The tension between the two had begun in their early years at Hogwarts, however unaware of the mutual feelings for each other for most of the time. Draco claimed his feelings for Hermione started in fourth year, assumed at the Yule Ball. However, Marcus Flint noticed some hints during a Quidditch game against the Gryffindors in April 1994, and accused Draco of being distracted by his Gryffindor “girlfriend”. It might mean that, without his self-awareness, his feelings had existed then.

Being raised in a prejudiced pure-blood family and as a son of a Death Eater, Draco had struggled hard with the conflict between his love for Hermione and the family duties he was ought to carry as the Malfoy heir. He was generally self-loathing and thought Hermione was to too good for him. His insecurity and self-hatred made him blind to the signs of Hermione’s feelings for him and he always subconsciously assumed that she thought the very worst of him or he was not worthy of her. "“She won’t look at me. Like we’ve started from the beginning. Like I need to convince her I’m worthy of her eyes.” —Draco’s misunderstanding of Hermione’s avoiding eyes"In spite of his false assumption about Hermione’s opinions on him, Draco tried his very best to protect her in every universe. After his feelings for Hermione being noticed by Severus Snape, he started practised Occlumency with Snape’s assistance to conceal his feelings from Voldemort. He used the jewel box that Snape gave him for Occlumency to collect things related to Hermione and the box had become a hide-out of his feelings, both symbolically and physically.

At sometime during the Second Wizarding War, feared the possibility of Voldemort’s victory, Draco prepared a personal suite for her next to his own in the Manor, and asked his maternal grandmother Druella Black for financial help in case he had to buy Hermione in the Auction. On the day he was on the mission of killing Hermione’s parents with other Death Eaters, Draco got a marble portkey from Snape and was ready to save the Grangers. The portkey was not used that day because the Grangers had already been Obliviated and sent to Australia by their daughter and the mission was, much to Draco’s relief, failed. In the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco killed Death Eater Thorfinn Rowle, who talked dirtily about Hermione and would have been a threat for her if she was auctioned off.

In every universe, Draco regretted and retreated whenever they got a step closer, assuming Hermione would hate him for his action, therefore unconsciously hurt her, who was terribly in love with him and wanted him. Having no idea what she truly thought of him, Draco was reluctant to show the real him to her, afraid that she would resent him more. He feared to ask anything from her as well, not wanting to scare her off or push too much, merely took what she was giving. Even they became sexually intimate, they were both too afraid to state that they were in a romantic relationship, believing the other was not in love.

In Canon Universe
On 27 August 1999, Hermione defended Draco in his trial which made him thought she was doing it out of pity. After released from Azkaban, Draco worked as an informant for the Department of Auror in the Ministry and inevitably had more interactions with Hermione than he expected. When he misjudged her intention of attending the trial of Dolohov, who would have bought her in the Auction and sexually abused her if Voldemort won, he was secretly hurt and decided to tell her about the Auction. Although, he lied to her about his motivation to buy her in the past.

In Alternative Universe
Following Voldemort’s victory, the Auction took place in early May 1998. Antonin Dolohov beat Draco in the competition and bought Hermione at 65,000 galleons. In order to save her from being sexually abused, Draco signed a contract and handed his inheritance over Dolohov for an exchange. Without his knowing, the deal was annulled two months later when Hermione became a blood heir of Lucius during the Virginity Charm ritual and Lucius changed the inheritance rules to make Hermione first in line to the Malfoy holdings.

"Draco Malfoy: “My family is in jeopardy, Granger—” Hermione Granger: “And you're blaming me for that—?” Draco Malfoy: “Sometimes I have to act without your approval to do what's best for my family! All four of us!” —Draco and Hermione arguing"

While Hermione was residing at the Manor under the guise of a bought and abused sex slave, Draco tried hard to hide information from her in order to protect her from the outside world, much to her frustration. He constantly struggled with her unselfconscious intimacy and attractions, and usually became uncomfortable, afraid of losing himself, whenever Hermione was physically close to him. He was terrified when Hermione asked him to practise body contacts with her for the weekly Friday party at Edinburgh Castle. When Hermione was going to be examined at the Manor, Draco decided to find an alternative solution to conceal her virginity without consulting her and her opinion, assuming she would have refused to have sex with him.

While they cooperated with each other in the tattoo potion research and in plotting with the True Order, they gradually became intimate, both physically and emotionally. However, being unaware of Hermione’s longtime feelings for him, Draco tended to believe her increasing care for him was a misguided enthusiasm as a result of being saved by him. They had a fight after Viktor Krum showed up in the Burgundy Room at Edinburgh, leading to their “break-up” and Draco’s withdrawal from the research. When Draco was about to depart for Switzerland, they patched up with each other, surrendering to the fear of being apart forever. When he came home from Switzerland, traumatised and more self-loathing, he could not bear the sight of her, which broke her heart after being apart for nearly four month. In March 1999, the True Order attacked Edinburgh. Hermione realised her fear of losing Draco forever and the pair eventually had sex.

Despite being insecure in his relationship with Hermione, Draco would do anything for her, even that meant he had to let her go after she successfully made the antidote for the tattoo potion, although Hermione willingly chose to stay without telling him that she loved him. Draco’s intention to help Hermione and keep his family, including Hermione, safe at the same time often contradicted with Hermione’s boldness to do something for the greater good, causing many ups and downs in their relationship.

On 2 May 1999, when Bellatrix miscalculated her nephew’s attraction to Hermione and threatened to kill her, Draco killed Bellatrix with a Killing Curse. Hermione killed Dolohov the next day for protecting Draco from his attacks. The pair became more open to each other, leading to Draco’s confession of his love for her.

Pansy Parkinson
Pansy had had a crush on Draco for a long time since at Hogwarts. Draco lost his virginity to her on the Yule Ball night in fourth year and since then Draco and Pansy had been sexual partners. Pansy found out Draco’s feelings for Hermione sometime at Hogwarts and the two were assumed to break up around the end of the War. The two had remained close friends after break-up.

Katya Viktor
Being the daughter of Professor Viktor, a friend of the Malfoy family’s, Katya had known Draco for many years. In September 1999, Draco made an arrangement with Katya to be in a false relationship. Draco was trying to deceive the public about his romantic life and to impress his father while Katya was trying to protect her fiancé Andrew from prejudiced her father. Katya was said to share similar physical characteristics with Hermione.

Jeannette Dupont
Draco briefly dated a blonde French girl Jeannette not long after his arrangement with Katya, in order to confuse the public about his taste of dates.

Noelle Ogden
Noelle was an American witch and the granddaughter of Tiberius Ogden, the owner of the Ogden’s Old Firewhiskey. Draco briefly dated her for business benefits from her grandfather. However, Draco never got what he wanted from Tiberius as a consequence of hitting Marcus Flint for the Love Potion incident.
