Astoria Malfoy (née Greengrass) (c. 1982 – August 2019) was a British pure-blood witch and a member of the Greengrass family, one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight.
Born into a pure-blood line, it's clear that Narcissa was brought up to believe in magic over Muggles. Like her husband Lucius, she clearly believed that Muggle-born wizards were inferior to pure-blood ones, even disowning her sister Andromeda for marrying one.
The Malfoys were a pure-blood wizarding family who were one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight - a list of pure-blood wizarding families published in the 1930s. Known for being aligned with the Dark Arts, the Malfoys had a history with Voldemort, with Lucius Malfoy being a Death Eater in You-Know-Who's innermost circle.
Malfoy married pureblood Astoria Greengrass, who did not raise their son to believe Muggles or others were less than purebloods. "Family gatherings were often fraught with tension,” Rowling adds about when Draco would get together with his parents Narcissa and Lucius.
Astoria Malfoy suffered from a "serious" blood malediction, as a result of a curse placed on one of her ancestors, which resurfaced in her after many generations. The condition left her frail, and thus she had only one child, Scorpius.
The Life of Leta Lestrange Explained (+Who Did She Love? Theory)
Was Narcissa Malfoy pregnant?
During this year, Narcissa became pregnant and miscarried. She was distraught and uncertain of what to tell Lucius, as she had not told him of her pregnancy. Shortly thereafter, he brought her out to the Leaky Cauldron to visit with his friends Vettlingar Yaxley and Thorfinn Rowle.
Why was Draco crying in the bathroom in Half-Blood Prince?
The fact that Draco was sobbing at the sink is also a surprising twist, as it portrays Draco as oddly sympathetic. Clearly, the stress of his predicament is taking its toll, and whatever Draco is up to, he is doing it under the threat of his own death.
He fell in love with Astoria Malfoy, who didn't meet his family's pure-blood expectations, and was even willing to let the Malfoy bloodline end to protect her. This shift in Draco's beliefs shows his growth and development as a character throughout the series.
J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use.
By the 1990s, most of the magical population were half-bloods. The children of Harry and Ginny Potter were considered half-bloods because although Ginny was pure-blood, Harry's mother was Muggle-born.
The Malfoys expanded their already large estate with the lands of their Muggle neighbours, and dabbled successfully into Muggle currency and assets, becoming one of the wealthiest families in wizarding Britain.
The pure-blood wizards and witches featured in the Harry Potter books are almost all supremacists, while there are some of them who do not advocate ancestral superiority; the Potters, Weasleys, and Longbottoms are old pure-blood families, but no known members of these families are sympathetic to supremacist aims.
In fact, Lucius' own support to Voldemort is revealed to come only under some form of duress, which is likely Narcissa's Veela Allure. When Lucius turns on Voldemort due to the reveal of his Horcruxes, Narcissa divorces him, taking 75% of Malfoy's wealth with her.
Narcissa was taught the philosophy of blood purity from a young age and grew up prejudiced in favour of pure-bloods. Thus, like her sister Bellatrix, she cut off contact with her sister Andromeda after she was disowned and burned off the Black family tree for marrying Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks.
She married Rodolphus Lestrange after leaving Hogwarts "because it was expected of her" to marry a pure-blood. However, Rowling stated in an interview that Bellatrix truly loved Voldemort.
The Malfoys are related to the Black family through Narcissa (a first cousin of Sirius Black, Harry's godfather), which makes Draco a nephew of both Bellatrix Lestrange and Andromeda Tonks.
Harry Potter had a few love interests during his time at Hogwarts. Though he eventually settled down with Ginny Weasley, he also had a thing for Cho Chang in his earlier school years. Then, of course, there's his secret love for Draco Malfoy…
If Voldemort were the strongest snake in the patronus list - the largest, most dangerous King Cobra, then it would be fitting for Bellatrix's patronus to also be a Snake of medium size, also venomous and still extremely dangerous. Hence, the Black Mamba Snake Patronus.
Which Harry Potter character has a crush on Hermione? - Quora. Throughout the series, there have been 3. Viktor Krum, Cormac Mcclaggen, and Ron Weasley.
Luna married fellow naturalist Rolf Scamander, grandson of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them author Newt Scamander, considerably later in life than Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, who all married and started families in their early-to-mid twenties.
Draco's belief in the superiority of Pure-Blood status influenced his prejudiced behavior, including calling Hermione a "Mudblood," but he eventually sought redemption by breaking away from the Death Eaters and saving Harry's life.
His tears were due to the fact that since the bird had died, he had failed once more to repair the Vanishing Cabinets. Draco needed to repair them in order to give the Death Eaters a safe way to infiltrate Hogwarts. Failure meant death, Voldemort had made that very clear.
It's implied that Septum Sempra is Snape's own creation, that he used a specific counter-curse to heal Draco, and that the spell isn't designed to be instantly fatal, but to inflict a gruesome, but relatively slow death if left untreated. It's likely Snape is the only person who knows said counter-curse.
He didn't want to make Harry uncomfortable; after all, they live together, eat together, work together and even share ownership of a temperamental cat. Harry just laughs, “I'm in love with you too, you git.” Draco kisses him, putting years worth of pent-up longing into one moment.
