Chapter 6- Lucius Malfoy, Carl Crabbe, Garry Goyle
Lucius Malfoy's family was extremely wealthy. His father bought cheap Muggle items, gave them magical powers, and then sold them at extravagant prices. His mother worked in the Muggle Relations department at the Ministry of Magic. Since both of them had very well paying jobs, they were unprepared for the hassle of having a child. They had a difficult time raising baby Lucius.
From a very young age, Lucius hated anything Muggle. He resented his parents' jobs; he felt they associated extensively with inferior Muggles. He didn't understand how his parents, both pure-bloods, could spend any time with such low people as Muggle instead of spending more time with their own child. Lucius vowed that he would always do anything in his power to rid the world of Muggles, Mudbloods, and half-bloods.
Carl Crabbe's parents both worked in the Ministry of Magic. They were both important executives to the Minister of Magic and were trying to find a way to prevent Muggle-born wizards from going to Hogwarts. They, as well as the Minister, thought of Mudbloods and half-bloods as abominations to the wizarding world.
Garry Goyle was born to average magical parents. His mother stayed at home to watch him, and his father worked at Gringotts, the wizard bank. The Goyles weren't very rich, but they weren't extremely poor either. Garry's dream had always been to go to Hogwarts, graduate, and get a good job to help his family.
The boys grew up, and soon turned 11 years old, the age at which young witches and wizards receive their letters accepting them to Hogwarts. Lucius, Carl, and Garry were all animated at this news, but for different reasons- Lucius to get away from his Muggle-loving parents; Carl to chase Muggle-born wizards out; Garry to be on his first step towards getting a job.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: At this point, the boys still don't know each other.
It was the first night of September, the first night of term at Hogwarts. The Sorting Hat was being removed from the Great Hall, and the three-legged stool still stood, alone, in front of the students. Lucius Malfoy, Garry Goyle, and Chris Crabbe had just been sorted into Slytherin minutes prior.
Throughout their years, Lucius, Garry, and Chris became friends, sharing many of the same interests in and outside of class. The only difference in their lives at all, it seemed, was that Lucius's parents liked Muggles, and Garry and Chris's parents did not.
Garry, Chris, and Lucius stayed close friends all throughout Hogwarts. Near the end of their 7th year, the boys became friends with a powerful 7th year Slytherin, Voldemort, who was worshiped by most Slytherins. Garry, Chris, and Lucius felt that in order to be successful, they needed the power that being affiliated with Voldemort could give them.
By their graduation, Garry, Chris, and Lucius were totally immersed in the ways of Voldemort. After their graduation, the three friends continued to be strong supporters of Voldemort's gang, the Death Eaters.
