Backstory

Slytherin because I’m witty and cunning, im ambiguous and an excellent con artist (not that you need to know that). I didn’t spend an awfully long time with the sorting hat but it was debating Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Defence against the dark arts, care for magical creatures, potions, and hebology are my favourite classes. I am always entirely confused by history of magic, not that it isn’t interesting, just confusing. I’m pretty good at quidditch but don’t quite get the point of the sport. I’m purblood, obviously. As a Malfoy, I am both respected and have a good, rich life but also feared and hated for my families past with the dark lord. If I were alive during he-who-must-not-be-named’s reign, I would be under the pressure from my family to be a death eater, as much as I support my family, that kinda scared me. I always know the best way to get people to do what I want without them thinking they were being forced into doing it. My greatest weakness is that I care too much, I may be a con master and act like I don’t care but if I’ve known you for long enough, I get attached. I’m stuck between Auror and healer but hopefully I’ll have it figured out by end of 7th year. The most fascinating thing about of magic is that it can be passed down by blood or simply gained at birth. I mainly use magic for myself but if I care enough, I’ll use it to help others. The one thing I really, triply want is to live up to my family name without doing all the bad things others in my family have done. I have a pet snake called scorpion, he’s great, he doesn’t do much but he likes to curl around my arm while I’m writing. An interesting thing about my family is that they couldn’t care less about my choice to follow family ‘tradition’.
