Re: Draco Malfoy || Harry Potter || Reserved || 2/?
History:
The blond-haired, grey-eyed Draco Malfoy was born to parents - Lucius and Narcissa (of the Black family) - of similar fair appearance on June 5th 1980. His family are what is called in the wizarding world 'purebloods', which means they can trace their ancestry as magical (witches and wizards) back far into the past. The Malfoys live in a manor in Wiltshire, England.
Draco had a very easy life, given everything he could want and lavished with new things every time he asked - and even when he didn't, so he was never wanting for material possessions. He did sometimes feel that he did not get enough personal attention even though his mother doted on him, it was his father he most wanted to impress and Lucius often gave the appearance of being critical or disappointed in his one and only son.
Lucius (and Draco) wanted Draco to be sent to the wizarding school of Durmstrang since they favour and teach the Dark Arts, whereas Hogwarts only teaches Defence of such but Narcissa objected, claiming it was too far away and so Draco was sent to Hogwarts at the age of eleven.
Lucius supported the dark wizard Voldemort when he was first in power and was one of his followers, known as Death Eaters. It is expected that Draco will also follow this path when Voldemort regains his power a second time, despite Lucius' actual reluctance to put his family in such danger again. Out of fear, however, this is what they feel that they must do.
Not too much is known about Draco's life pre-Hogwarts but Draco's school history is well known. Hogwarts at age eleven, an excellent student, near the top of all his classes, Quidditch Seeker, Slytherin prefect, wanna-be Death Eater.
But that is in the future. More of this information can be seen in the links below. In keeping with the others I've only written what is known of their pre-canon for this part since he'll be taken from pre-canon here, to fit in with the rest of his castmates of about his age.
