Background Information
The Malfoy Manor loomed over the town, with high arches and large dark doorway giving the impression of high status and the impression unwelcoming to passerby's. Visitors to the town often wondered who lived in the massive home, and town's people were often hesitant to answer. Once in a while though, you'd hear whispers about them in the market place.
"Lucius Malfoy, I heard he was a big supporter of you-know-who. How he managed to avoid prison I know not. And he's working in the ministry now!" A young well-known gossiper woman with thick plaids sniffed.
"Oh yes, and his dreadful wife's not much better. I saw her yelling at the Ice-cream man the other day because he helped her up. Seems as if he was muggle-born and she didn't like him touching him very much." Whispered the old man who sold household appliances, who sat by his window spying on passing people all day long.
"They have a son too, that little pale, blond child. Once and a while you walk by and see him playing out in the front, has all these fancy little toys. He's a darn good flier too. Parents turned him into a arrogant brat the way they raised him, convinced him he was basically royal from his blood status." A old hag insisted.
"Oh yes and the parents won't let him play with any children other than the pure-blooded. Heard one day a half-blood little girl walked into the front yard while he was playing there. He was probably only five or six and didn't find anything wrong with playing with her until his parents ran out shooing the girl away telling him he only to play with his kind. Like if she was a illness and he was going to be contaminated." Another young woman smirked.
"He'll grow up just to be like his father, oh for sure. Hating muggle-borns how pathetic." Hissed a young man, clearly a muggle-born.
Indeed Draco was a spoiled child who grew up in the atmosphere which taught him he was above everyone whose blood line wasn't as pure as his. Hardly blame him for growing so arrogant, with parents as his. However, Draco had a mind of his own. While he looked up to his father, he clearly led his own rebellious streak, breaking almost all of him parent's unsaid rules nearly driving them crazy.
Draco also was raised accustomed to hearing his parents complain about how much better off they'd be if the Dark Lord had been successful. It was a family secret of their loyalty to you-know-who and Draco was forbidden to ever speak a word of it out of their home especially since Lucius had nearly escaped prison, and didn't want to lose his job or be sent to prison.
Even in a wealthy family with two parents that care about you very much, Draco's life was not perfect. His parents had a set way of doing things and they expected him to do the exact same. His parents were certain there way was right and at times Draco was forced to do things he thought was wrong. As he grew older, he inherited his father's cold manner and treated common towns people like if they were simple pests. He befriended many pure-blooded children of family friends, and was refused to play with half-blooded children, and even whole-blooded (wizard dad, witch mom but muggles in past family). He was taught to ignore these blood types, but when it came to muggle-borns he was taught to despise and look down upon them.
Draco understands on his eleventh birthday he will be receiving an invitation to a wizard school where his parents were taught, Hogwarts. Through his childhood, he proved many times he was capable of strong magic and his parents were sure he would be accepted in. As a child, he went to normal schools where he learned non-magic lessons such as reading and writing and essays and normal lessons for children. These schools consists of only wizard children, even though they were taught muggle lessons. Magic was not permitted in these schools since the students were under-age and were not allowed to perform magic out of wizard school until they were seventeen.
Draco was an average student who pulled off decent grades. However his father, who was on the top of his class, fretted about his marks dreadfully, although his mother, insisted when he goes to Hogwarts he will be a top student, and that he just can't excel in muggle lessons.
Draco also could fly a broomstick well, and played on a young quiddich team from a young age, making him a talented flyer. His parents greatly encouraged this talent and being a wealthy family, his parents bought him the best broomstick there was and bought his a new one every time a better version came out.
As his eleventh birthday drew near his parents made closer friends with other ministry workers and one of Hogwarts teachers, Professor Snape, if effort to try to make Draco's upcoming school years easier for him. Lucius was one of the ministry workers for the school so he knew if Draco messed something up he could probably fix it, although he warned Draco to stay out of trouble, his son had a temper and often broke rules out of the heat of the moment.
By the time Draco turned eleven, there was a young, arrogant, selfish, pampered child wizard in the Malfoy Manor that received a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
