Draco Malfoy, the boy who had no choice
Noble thoroughbred scion
Draco Malfoy is a noble young thoroughbred, born of Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black. The Malfoys are part of the so-called "Sacre 28", or the twenty-eight magical families indicated as those with the "purest" blood. He was raised in Villa Malfoy (original Malfoy Manor), a palace as large as a castle in Wiltshire.
The house exudes wealth, placid white peacocks walk in the garden, a symbol of pride and vanity and, thanks to the charm of its white feathers, the peacock also represents the ostentation of luxury and elegance of the Malfoy family.
Draco is raised in this climate of comfort and is indoctrinated according to very specific dictates. The Malfoys make their pure blood a source of pride and raise the little Draco with the conviction that maintaining the purity of blood is fundamental, that the half-breeds are acceptable knowledge and that never and then never should be fraternized with Muggle-born, that they derogatory they call Sanguemarcio.
At the time when Draco was born, Lucius Malfoy was a supporter of the Dark Lord. It was the period of the First Magic War, Voldemort was at the peak of his power and being one of his Death Eaters was very convenient at that time.
