BACKGROUND:
Draco lives in a world much like ours, only there's a secret inner society of wizards and magic that is constantly kept secret from the nonmagical (“muggle”) society at large. Hundreds of years ago, a law was passed, the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, to hide the wizarding world as there had been an increase of attacks on both wizards and muggles mistaken for wizards. Each nation has it's own Ministry of Magic that is in charge of imposing its laws to keep magic secret or to diffuse situations where muggles might have accidentally been exposed to it.

The wizarding world is not without it's problems or prejudices, however. There is an old, and ingrained belief amongst some, especially those of old wizarding family lines, that only magical blood should begat magical blood, no cross-breeding with muggles, or allowing muggles that somehow gained magical abilities into their world. One such wizard was Tom Riddle who, ironically, was a half-blood himself, but would grow up to be one of the most powerful wizards in the world, and definitely the darkest, calling himself Lord Voldemort. He preached the purity of wizard blood and how they should be in control of the muggles, and not hiding from them like their skills were something to be ashamed of. He gathered a large army of wizards with similar beliefs, and set upon terrorizing Britain trying to achieve his goals. One of the families that joined in his cause were the Malfoys, Lucius and Narcissa. Narcissa was not officially a marked Death Eater, but she supported her husband and believed in the same ideals, and Lucius was high ranking in the Death Eater army.

When Lord Voldemort fell, Lucius and Narcissa claimed they were under the influence of the Imperius Curse and so couldn't help what they were doing. They were cleared in trials, but neither dropped their prejudices and continued to show great contempt to anyone they perceived lesser than them. They eventually had a son, Draco Lucius Malfoy, and raised him quite, quite well, giving him the best of everything. Though they could be an aloof and strict family, trying to impart a behavior in him that best fits their aristocratic nature, they were not an unloving family. In fact, Draco's primary loyalty is to his mother and father, and any offense directed at them is immediately met with a threat. He sees his father as a great role model, and his mother he just loves like any rich mama's boy would.

His father had originally wanted to send him to Durmstrang, a foreign magical school where they only allow in purebloods, but his mother couldn't bear to have her son so far away, so he was sent to Hogwarts. He met Harry Potter before actually attending the school, while being fitted for robes in Diagon Alley. He didn't know who it was, but he was friendly enough, in a cool way, but said poor things about muggle-borns and Hagrid, so he immediately started off on the wrong foot with the boy who lived. When on the Hogwarts Express he learned just who exactly the boy was he had spoken to and tries again to befriend him, telling him that Draco can introduce him to all the “right” people (who definitely weren't Ron's sort, whom Harry was speaking to at the time). He was duly rejected and thus began the rivalry between he and Harry.

For the first few books his role of antagonist was mostly just to bother and belittle Harry and his friends, never truly that of a villain, though Harry sometimes thought he was behind some greater evil that he actually wasn't, like in “Chamber of Secrets” when he insisted Draco was the Heir of Slytherin and was the one responsible for the attacks on students. While Draco seemed to approve of the threats the heir was leaving, Harry and Ron, while disguising themselves as Draco's two cohorts Crabbe and Goyle, found that Draco was not the heir and that he had no idea who it could be.

In his first year he pretty much bullied and tried to get Harry and his friends in trouble. Second year, aside from being a suspect in Harry's eyes, he kept on bullying and joined the Slytherin Quidditch team as Seeker, after his father had purchased the team brand new brooms (though, to be fair, Draco was a fairly good Seeker if he wasn't too busy goading Harry). In the third book, yet more bullying, and pissing off Hermione to the point of being threatened and behaving like a baby, and being hurt by a hippogriff while at a lesson with Hagrid, which led to more behaving like a baby, and trying to get the hippogriff put down and Hagrid in trouble.

His fourth year he was at the Quidditch World Cup when Death Eaters attacked a muggle family and wreaked havoc in the camp. Draco was in the forest, and wasn't involved, but his smug little attitude all but told Harry that Lucius was one of the men messing with the muggles. At school, Harry was somehow chosen to take part in the Triwizard Tournament, and Draco helped to lead a campaign against him and cheering on the Hufflepuff Champion instead, including creating magical badgers that declared Potter Stinks. (How sophisticated.) He also helped Rita Skeeter, an obnoxious and yellow journalist, get stories and feeding her false stories on Harry to make him look poorly in The Daily Prophet, which later helped to discredit Harry when he tries to claim Voldermort has returned. This was also the year where he was infamously transfigured into a ferret by Mad-Eye Moody for trying to hex Harry when his back was turned and bounced around a room. It was a wholly mortifying exerpeince, and for the rest of the year he was constantly afraid of Moody, and other students took advantage of it to tease him when they could.

In his fifth year he had more of a role as an active antagonist when he joined Dolores Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad, a group of (Slytherin) students that kept an eye on activities going on the school with power enough to doll out demerits, and reporting anything that was out of order to Umbridge for due punishment. They were also supposed to help squash any activities or claims that the Ministry was incorrent in their stance the Dark Lord was back and that Harry and Dumbledore speak true. Overall it was mostly an excuse for Draco to abuse his power in ways he couldn't as Slytherin Prefect, a position he had reached that year as well.

However, Draco's father was captured after being seen participating in the fight in the Ministry of Mysteries with other Death Eaters when trying to retrieve Trewlawny's prophecy on Voldermort's downfall. He was sent to Azkaban for it, and his failure brings great displeasure to the Dark Lord, making the Malfoys fall even more out of favor in his eyes, their standing already tremulous at best since they didn't try to seek out Voldemort after his first fall, had denounced him to avoid imprisonment, and had inadvertently been the reason one of his horcruxes was destroyed by giving Ginny Weasley Tom Riddle's diary that Harry later destroyed.

Because of this, Draco steps in to take over his father's role in the Death Eaters and is marked. He's given a task, an important, terrible task, to find a way to let Death Eaters into the heavily protected school and assassinate Dumbledore. It's implied, however, that Voldemort doesn't expect Draco to succeed and this was all just a ploy to get Draco killed to punish Lucius. Narcissa begins to realizes just how terrible a situation her family has found themselves in and, unable to let her son go through something like this alone, forces Snape, who was still acting as a double (quadruple?) agent, to make an unbreakable vow to protect Draco no matter what. He had also made a similar promise to Dumbledore that when the time came Snape should be the one to kill Dumbledore (who was dying, anyway) to spare Draco's innocence, since the headmaster knew Draco, despite his posturing, was not that sort of a person.

Draco, unaware of all of this, just assumes Snape is trying to do all the work for Draco to siphon away what favor the Malfoys have left and gain notoriety in the eyes of Voldemort. He shuts himself off from just about everything-his social life, schooling and hobbies suffering as a result-in order to try to achieve this task. He spends most of the year trying to repair a magical cabinet in the Room of Requirement, a room that magically appears according to what the person needs, where objects and people could pass between it and its sibling in Borgin and Burkes, thus allowing the Death Eaters in to attack the school and creating chaos enough for Draco to attack Dumbledore. Two times during the year he was terrified he wouldn't be able to fix the cabinet, so he tries to kill Dumbledore through a cursed necklace and a poisoned drink, but both times innocent people, including Ron, were nearly killed, which actually upset Draco a fair amount. His task and his sins were so great he even spent time in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, confiding in her and crying.

Eventually, however, he succeeds in mending the cabinet and allowing the Death Eaters in as planned. He finds Dumbledore on his own just after the headmaster returned from his journey with Harry to find a horcrux, weak from cursed water that he had to drink in order to retrieve it. Draco disarms him and threatens to kill him, but it's clear that he doesn't want to. All his bravado quakes under Dumbledore's compassion, and he shouts how he has to do it or Voldemort will kill him and his family, but when Dumbledore offers to protect all of them from the machinations and threat of the Dark Lord he begins to lower his wand. Unfortunately, that was when the Death Eaters joined him, demanding him to kill Dumbledore, and seeing no way out he lifts up his wand again-but still can't bring himself to do it. Snape then steps in and does it for Draco, just as promised, and ushers him away from the grounds. He is unable to return to the school for obvious reasons.

His father, along with other imprisoned Death Eaters, were then broken out of Azkaban. The Malfoys were definitely out of favor by that point, even if the ends had met the means of what Voldemort wanted, and their manor was taken over by the Dark Lord for his purposes. The Malfoys were mocked and treated poorly not only be Voldemort but other Death Eaters that had once respected or feared them. Draco was forced to participate in activities that he hated, including being made to torture muggles or to witness murders, all still under the threat of his family's death. When the school year started, he was sent back to it to join the other children that were sent there willing or unwillingly, now that it was under the control of the ruthless Death Eaters.

At Easter he returned home for the holiday, where Harry, Ron and Hermione were brought in by Snatchers. Harry had been jinxed by Hermione to try to disguise his features, but the Snatchers were sure they had Harry Potter, and Draco was brought in by his father to identify them so they aren't wasting Voldermort's time by handing over the wrong person, saying that them bringing in Harry would garner them forgiveness from Voldemort and they could rise up in favor and rank again. It's at this point it's pretty clear that though Lucius had once upon a time been Draco's hero, Draco no longer craved the power Lucius wanted in this way anymore, and Draco lies and says he can't be sure that it's Harry, but when pressed about Ron and Hermione he says it could be them. Eventually Harry and the several others being held prisoner in the manor escapes, but not before Harry disarms Draco which was important to Harry's final battle with Voldemort but Draco has no idea about all that and it's weird and confusing so who really cares, amirite.

Oddly, despite how he refused to identify Harry when he was in the manor, during the Battle of Hogwarts he ignores the order for Slytherins to join Voldemort and takes Crabbe and Goyle with him to go after Harry in the Room of Requirement where Harry and pals were looking for the Diadem of Ravenclaw, another horcrux. Draco was probably in the thought that there was absolutely no way Voldemort could lose at that time, and if Draco and his family had any hope in the New Wizarding Order then they had to curry favor-so he went after Harry. But, as usual, when faced with confrontation he becomes frightened and fails, though using his mother's wand that wasn't aligned to him probably didn't help any either. He clearly has no control over his friends anymore, however, as Crabbe ignores Draco's order to bring Harry in alive and releases a Fiendfyre curse that he is not able to control. It sets the entire room on fire, endangering everyone but Harry et al manage to escape on broom, saving Draco and Goyle, though unfortunately not Crabbe, who perishes, a death that hurts Draco, showing more of how much he actually cared about people.

In the end, Draco's family gave up on Voldemort to purely search for their son, no longer caring if he won or not. They were even seen going through the battle, not fighting and just seeking Draco. After Voldemort was defeated they weren't arrested, and left along as they sat in the great hall, unsure of what would happen to them now.

After this, in the 6 months after, I assume the Malfoys would have to go through some sort of hearings to clear their name in the end and probably had to pay some sort of reparations. He doesn't do much as a result, too afraid of revenge if he goes out in public, plus completely unsure how to carry himself now.

PERSONALITY:
Draco is the sort of boy that if it were genetically possible he would have been born literally with a silver spoon in his mouth. He is spoiled from here to kingdom come, and pretty much expects everything to come to him without a hitch-and if someone tries to deny him anything he is not above vague threats (from magical repercussions to his father) to try to get what he wants. In his youth he is nothing short of an opportunistic bully, kissing up to teachers and fellow students he feels could further his status while simultaneously trying to put down those he found inferior or felt was a threat. Despite his high class and wealth he is afraid of someone being better than him, and duly tries to knock them down before they can rise above him or always try to sabotage their reputations, such as with Harry Potter.

He is pampered and sheltered enough that when it comes to actual confrontation, he gets afraid and cowers, sometimes incredibly pathetically such as crying when Hermione had her wand on him, or will use underhanded means to try to get an upperhand, like attacking when an opponent's back is turned. It's a bit of a shame he behaves like this for he's actually a competent and strong wizard, and could hold is own in a fair duel or fight, but he would much rather simper and beg when threatened with a hex.

For the first five books he is basically portrayed as this childish bully, and often a red herring for Harry's suspicions, but come book six his personality starts to develop into something else. His father was imprisoned for his Death Eater affiliation and actions in the Ministry of Mysteries. As a result, Draco, at age 16, takes Lucius' place in the ranks of of Death Eaters and immediately gets embroiled in a life he had assumed would be great, powerful and easy, but turned out to be anything but as the school year went on. He was at first incredibly proud to be a Death Eater, and bragged about it amongst those that would be in awe about it, and had an air of greater superiority amongst those that he wouldn't dare about it brag to. His task of killing Dumbledore didn't seem to be too bad of a thing at the start, but as the year continues on, and the more Draco dwelt on it and failed in weak attempt after weak attempt on the headmaster's life the more distraught he became over it. He became withdrawn, dropped his hobbies like Quidditch and bullying, stopped hanging out with friends and kept them purposefully away, missed school work and Prefect duties-basically, he was deeply troubled and constantly afraid his failure would be the death of his parents and himself.

This time of attempted assassination at least shows how clever and ingenuous he could be, since he manages to fix a magical cabinet on his own and uses the difficult Protean Charm to try to accomplish his task. It also starts to become clear just how loyal he really can be and that he isn't as bad of a person as others, and admittedly himself, thought he was. As the book goes on it's clear that he is only trying to assassinate Dumbledore for the sake of his family's safety, and that he really doesn't want to kill the man-he doesn't want to kill anyone. In book 7 he is seen torturing people but, again, under the threat of his family's death. He even goes as far as to try to avoid identifying Harry, Ron and Hermione when Snatchers bring them in for the sheer fact he doesn't want more people to be hurt due to his actions, even if it was the man that had been the bane of his existence since he was 11. He actually has compassion, which was probably as much a surprise to him as anyone else.

Draco is petty, elitist, a bully and a coward, but he is not cruel, cold-hearted nor, above all, a killer.

As the war comes to a close he, and his family, are in an uncertain limbo. They avoid jail, yet again, but his family certainly doesn't have the standing as they once did, and he mostly keeps to himself still out of fear of what he would be met with out in public. Though he isn't as pompous or biting as he once was, he still tries to keep up an air of superiority even though he knows he really has no right anymore. Mostly he thinks just because he's fallen low it doesn't mean he can't have high standards on things like appearance, magical aptitude and wealth anymore. (Though having none in the City will be a horrid, horrid thought.) Despite this, he is now an adult with an unclear future, and it's all a bit frightening.
POWER:
Magic. He is very well apt with magic, able to do higher level spells at a young age that many couldn't do till later (well, except for Hermione), if at all. The most notable things are his ability to perform nonverbal spells, his aptitude with potions, and is quite good with Occulmency, which blocks people from reading his thoughts. He can perform many charms, hexes and jinxes excellently, and knows the unforgivable curses, though he was never able to do the Killing Curse, and he will avoid the Cruciatus and Imperius Curses as much as he can from now on.

COMMUNITY POST (FIRST PERSON) SAMPLE
[The camera clicks on and shows the face of a young man, with a visage that speaks of great, snooty sophistication by the way he even manages to look down his nose at the device that he's holding as he pokes at it with his thumb. He's unaware that he has turned it on, though he has noticed a light turned on.]

Oh . . .

[As he tries to figure this thing out, the viewer gets a good gander at him to notice that while he's good looking and dressed quite dapper, he has a haunted look-moreso than the average person scared to find themselves in a strange new place-and he's poking at the comm with desperation to figure it out rather than out of curiosity.]

Does that mean it's on? Can anyone hear me? I was told I could communicate through this, and I just need to know who the bloody fool was that decided it would be brilliant to trick me with what I assume was a portkey from my ho-

[He gets shoulder checked by a passerby and he overreacts quite noticeably, scuttling away from the person like a startled cat and brandishing a wand high, as if he truly is expecting an attack at any moment. The passerby continues on without even looking back, but Draco keeps watching him go until he finally turns forward again, forgetting about the comm as he mutters “Merlin's beard” to himself. Eyes scan his surroundings in great concern again before he fists the comm, effectively blocking the camera and mic for now.]

LOGS POST (THIRD PERSON) SAMPLE:
Draco definitely did not like this place. As far as he had gathered upon his arrival there, it was similar to his home world, only in the future and definitely lacking the one thing that made his home glorious: wizards. He was trapped on a purely muggle planet.

He wasn't disgusted in the way he once would have been, even just a year and a half ago. He wasn't afraid of having to mingle with the non-magical people and coming away with muggle germs that would infect his pure blood and render him as useless as they. He had seen too much to think that anymore, seen that both muggles and pureblood wizards took torture and died exactly the same. However, it didn't stop him from finding their culture strange and boorish and a little intimidating now that he was expected to integrate into it.

At least he had always been able to dress himself under his robes in ways decent even for the muggles. It had always been embarrassing to see grown men wander out in dresses clearly meant for women. Honestly, the thick-headedness of some of those pureblood wizards he had once admired so religiously.

He supposed in a way this was almost a god-send. There was no Dark Lord here, no war, and no one expected Draco to harm people just to see him and his mother and father squirm and hate themselves. There was no one here to threaten him or his family. Back home he and his parents had been cowering in a huddle together on a drawing room couch, waiting for Voldemort to come for them for losing his prisoners-for losing who Draco had known for sure was Harry Potter but had lied about. His mother had given him her wand, as if at least that way he might have a fighting chance in case the punishment was the worst the Dark Lord could doll out, which was laughable, of course, but still entirely sweet of her.

Truly that was the worst thing about being drawn here, that his family wasn't here, that he didn't know what had become of them back home. He had been assured that when he returned home it would be as if he had never left, so his parents would at least be alive when he went back-though who knew for how much longer. So he could either spend his . . . “reprieve” there in the city holed up and worrying over things he had no control over (and not just because he was trapped in a new world), or try to go out and make the best of it-at least leave his apartment and take a walk every now and again and try to find a café that knew how to properly make a cup of tea (so far a futile quest).
