Draco Malfoy's Background Story
Draco Lucius Malfoy, born in 1980, grew up in the wealthy, pure-blood supremacist Malfoy family. Sorted into Slytherin like his ancestors, Draco was raised to believe in pure-blood superiority and became Harry Potter's rival from their first meeting. However, as Voldemort's influence over his family grew darker, Draco began to question his beliefs. Tasked with killing Dumbledore as punishment for his father's failures, Draco couldn't complete the task, revealing he wasn't truly evil. The war taught him the cost of blind loyalty to dark ideology.
