Did Draco marry Pansy?

I highly doubt that he did. Her little "oops" at the Battle of Hogwarts would probably affect her reputation, and then would affect Draco's. Plus their relationship just seemed like a shallow little thing that most young teenagers had.

He probably just married a pure-blood witch, or even a half-blood. I highly doubt he would marry a muggleborn, though, just from his upbringing. Some things you just can't get rid of.

I really hope he did not marry Pansy - she's horrible, and I have hope for Draco after Deathly Hallows.

He may not have been a wonderful guy, but I think his values had to change after having Voldemort living in his house, abusing his parents, and feeding his snake at the table.

Plus, I hate to think of little Scorpius having Pansy as a mother - ugh! :scared: Poor kid - surely not!

I highly doubt that Draco married Pansy. I mean, I know that they were together in school, but it's like Lord_Nomolous said: their relationship was just some shallow thing that most teens experience. He liked her because she worshiped him (remember the looks she was giving him on the train in the beginning of book 6?). I don't think Draco had ever planned on marrying her.

If he had planned on it, I'm betting those plans changed after the war. I mean, she shouted out which side she was supporting in the Great Hall and got escorted out; but the Malfoy's seemed to be drifting farther and farther away from Voldemort and his ideals. The Malfoy's may have hated Harry, but it didn't appear as though they truly wanted him dead (let's not forget that Narcissa had a chance to rat out that Harry was still alive, but she let Voldemort continue to believe he was dead). Pansy, on the other hand, knew what Voldemort was capable of and still she had no problem handing Harry over to Voldemort.

Besides, if Draco had married Pansy, I'm betting she would have been mentioned in the epilogue. I'm just curious as to why Jo didn't reveal who his wife was in that interview after the release of the last book. It would have been nice to truly know who he married.

While Pansy may have almost worshipped Draco, I doubt he ended up marrying her. He probably married some rich pureblood who was never mentioned in the story. Because, as Snapes_Angel2, if it was Pansy, Jo could have just said so. I mean, we know who Pansy is. Instead of saying ''Malfoy was standing there", or whatever it really was, she could have said "Malfoy and Pansy were standing there". Though, obviously, Jo would do a better job than that, cuz she's awesome.

maybe he'd marry a decent black who's not all about pure blood mania, etc. but not pansy, he only liked her 'cos she mooned over him.

We honestly don't know what the mature Draco preferred in a life-mate. It's entirely possible that he married Pansy Parkinson, but I think if he had, there would have been at least a passing mention that actually named her--like Harry looking over at Draco, his wife Pansy, and their son Scorpius.

As for the "decent Blacks"--they're pretty much all dead except for Teddy's Gran 'Dromeda.

maybe he'd marry a decent black who's not all about pure blood mania, etc. but not pansy, he only liked her 'cos she mooned over him.

Jordmundt is right; most Black descendants are dead anyway, but what's more - could they please stop marrying their cousins? I don't know, it just creeps me out. I wonder how many toes Draco's got already :scared:

Of course he didn't marry Pansy, but I wish she was the excuse for his son's name. :) I understand it, but I just can't seem to get used to it.

Pansy never liked Draco as a person. She only cared about his appearance and stuff. And I think, after the battle, Draco would have matured enough to realise that this simply isn't enough. And if Pansy ran off a coward for the battle of Hogwarts, then I don't think Draco would have seen her fit enough to be his wife.

Besides, I'm a Draco/Luna shipper... XD

Seriously, I don't think that his wife was anyone from Hogwarts. Not EVERYONE could have found love there. Harry would never have just said "his wife" if it was someone they knew, I don't think.

I personally don't think that Draco married Pansy. In the books he really only liked Pansy because she totally worshiped him. He wouldn't marry her.

No, I don't think so; I'm sure Harry and Company would have recognized her. I got the message that the Malfoy name was pretty defamed in Britain after they wiggled out of going to Azkaban, so I am of the opinion that Draco married a pureblooded witch from Durmstrang.

-LilyPod

I agree with you, LilyPod. Draco told his 'friends' that Lucius wanted to send him to Durmstrang, but that Narcissa felt the school was too far away (She wanted to be close to her son); so, based on that, and the fact that nobody appeared to recognize his wife, I'm going to say that it's highly likely that he married someone from Durmstang.

After all, everyone from Hogwarts knew what his involvement was in the war: the students in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw wouldn't align themselves with someone who had joined Voldemort (even though he appeared to slither back to the 'light' side before the war was over); and the Slytherins wouldn't side with him because of the fact that his family sort of chickened out towards the end and appeared to side with the 'light'.

The students at Durmstrang would know who won the war, but it's doubtful that they would have known about every single person who had been involved in the war. Even though the Malfoy family was well-known, I don't really think that the students at Durmstrang would have been privy to the nature of their involvement.

i dont think so. the story is from harry's point of view and he wouldve recognized pansy and mentioned her as draco's wife...unless pansy underwent plastic surgery and ended up looking different

^Hahaha. That's funny. And I am inclined to agree.

Of course he didn't marry Pansy, but I wish she was the excuse for his son's name. :) I understand it, but I just can't seem to get used to it.


Scorpius is a star/constellation name. Just like Draco, Sirius, Regulus, Andromeda, Bellatrix, Orion, Alphard, and probably other Blacks I am forgetting. The reason for the name is Draco, and specifically, that his mother was a Black.

I think if the wife were Pansy, we would have been told. My guess? A woman Harry does not know by name. A Slytherin a year or more older or younger than Draco who did not play Quidditch would surely be someone Harry does not know. :p

My first reaction was, "He married Pansy, omg" But, then Harry did not say anything.. so it seemed that he did not know who she was. And, I really think Hermione or Ron would go..."Oh look it's pug face":lol: Well, now that I think about it..Ron would definitely be the one to say that.

i dont like Draco so much but i hope he didnt

I don't think he ever married Pansy because I don't think Draco ever had any real feelings for her. At Hogwarts, she was nothing more than a sycophant, a hanger on with the leader of her particular clique. Their "relationship" never seemed to be more than her doting on him and him allowing her to do so.

Case in point, when Draco was inducted as a DE, he plotted with Crabbe and Goyle, not Pansy. If he harbored any feelings for her, wouldn't he have given her an inkling?

I'm gonna go with a lot of others here and say I don't think he did. Surely if Draco's wife had been Pansy it would have been mentioned, I think. And you know, I'm glad it wasn't. It would just be too neat and tidy that Malfoy marries the only girl we know had a thing for him at Hogwarts. I even thought it was too convenient that Neville eventually married Hannah, but I got over that. But that's for another thread.

I really like the fact that we don't know who Draco's wife is. :)

The speculation is fun!

No, I don't think it was Pansy.

I wouldn't have wanted Draco to marry her!

:)

Yeah... it's up for speculation seeing as JK didn't mention Pansy being Malfoy's wife.

Seeing as Draco had changed- and Pansy hadn't, I think their relationship (if they even had a proper one) would have gone downhill considerably.

I've always seen Draco marrying some half blood from Drumstrang xD just to show he's 'serious' about the new Potter movement. Tut tut, for tojour pur.

i think he married a pure blood because ron says 'grandad weasley will never forgive you if you marry a pureblood.' and if scorpius is that a pure blood that makes his mum one. i don't think pansy though. draco never really seemed to care about her.

I think Draco is far too complex of a character to end up with Pansy; he changed and developed throughout the books, while she remained static. By the end of the series, Draco has gone from and arrogant, aristocratic bully who desired power, honor, and glory of the Dark Side to a scared, in-over-his-head Death Eater who hates what he is doing, fears for his life and the lives of his parents, and whose only desire is the safety of his family. Pansy, on the other hand, is still the same girl; IMO, she never changes, but continues to act in a snobby fashion through all of the books, so much that I can't see her and Draco as a viable couple anymore.

Furthermore, I don't think Jo would stick Draco, who went through such a personal journey in the series, and who hated being a Death Eater, with Pansy, the same girl who wanted to hand Harry over to the Dark Lord. It just seems...wrong.

Why not Pansy? for me is the best (and the only that i know) chouce from draco

Because Harry and the others would have recognized her and JKR would have named her?

But, they didn't recognize his wife and JKR only named her as Draco's wife, so it's not Pansy.

Ew I hope not. Draco is, as Ron said, a two-faced b--, but if I were JK I wouldn't have the heart to stick him with Pansy.
Since she didn't say it was Pansy, I'm willing to be it wasn't....

Draco does not have to marry one of his Hogwarts classmates like Harry and everyone did. He could have met someone else after Hogwarts that did not attend the school or was in a different year and not mentioned in the books. Not every character ends up with another from the books. Note that Luna Lovegood did not marry Neville as many in the fandom wanted but instead a character that we have never met-- Newt Scamander's grandson.

I would conclude that because JKR did not drop Pansy's name in the epilogue, which would be the most logical thing to do if Draco had married Pansy since we know the character, the two did not end up together. Most likely Draco, in an effort to distance himself from the Voldemort movement and the war, married someone else outside the Hogwarts scope.

I really doubt it, the fact that it says 'his wife' rather than 'his wife Pansy' in the epilogue implies that it was someone Harry and Ron didn't recognise. Either way, she'd be a pureblood, and, I'm guessing, not a Hogwarts girl. Probably from Durmstrang, judging by the fact that Lucius wanted to send him there... which implies he has connections there. I'm not saying it was an arranged marriage, but I imagine that his parents probably introduced him to whoever it was.

I imagine he just stayed single his whole life...

He was seen with his wife seeing their son Scorpius off to Hogwarts in the epilogue. :)

Like most people in this thread, I don't believe that he married Pansy. Who Pansy married (if anyone at all) is another matter. :lol:

Draco's wife's name is not given in DH. Had it been Pansy, surely Jo would have said that, through Ron or Harry. He is seeing off Scorpius along with his pureblood witch!

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all knew what Pansy looked like, and I'm sure they would have recognized her if Draco had indeed been with her.

Exactly. Plus, wasn't their relationship just Pansy fawning over Draco, and him not liking her, but liking the attention? That's how I always saw it. Not love, but... attention?

Who's to say he got married at all?
I think he didn't marry Pansy, she just seemed like a highschool fling really.

Who's to say he got married at all?

The epilogue?

Oh yes! *hits self*
The train scene...the child that was mentioned.
Perhaps he had a child out of marriage though?
MY theory still has a leg to stand on! :D

Harry says Draco's (unnamed) wife is standing next to him at the train station.

No, I doubt that Draco married Pansy. By the end of Book 7 it was clear that he had changed (though not much as JKR said in an interview), whereas Pansy was the same- she consented to give Harry to Voldemort. He must have married another pure blood.

Me too. JKR would have said her name if she had married Pansy. Harry and the others would have recognized her. Besides, I never thought that Draco and Pansy would end up together. And I agree with xmermaidx; he loved the attention, but not Pansy herself.

i dont think so,otherwise,it would have been mentioned...
i think he must have married a pureblood,we dont know....

shes is not even mentioned in the hallows ,is she?

Definitely not. They would've mentioned the wife being her, as opposed to just being "the wife"

That's what I was thinking, too. It said in the book "his wife" and if he did marry Pansy, it would've mentioned that she was.

I seriously doubt it was Pansy considering the fact that he probably changed after the Battle at Hogwarts when Crabbe died, and when Voldemort was finally killed. He probably married a pureblood, but definitely not Pansy. They are too different to have stayed together. I just wonder what his job is now. Does he work in the ministry? Is he trying to start a new movement to restart what Voldemort started? I can kinda see him making Horcrux's.

If he was about to do that, I see no whatsoever reason why he shouldn't stay with Pansy then, too.

Seriously, I absolutely don't believe either. I don't think Draco did anything that would remind him of Voldemort in any respect, and I don't believe he married Pansy.

JKR answered this question in a Time magazine interview:
"Astoria Greengrass, younger sister of the Greengrass family. We meet Daphne Greengrass, part of Pansy Parkinson's Slytherin posse, in Book V when Hermione takes her O.W.L.s. Neville marries Hannah Abbott, who becomes the owner of The Leaky Cauldron. "I do have it all worked out in my mind because I couldn't stop myself doing that."

Well at least it wasn't Pansy. And at least she has a name that makes "Scorpius" seem more like it was a name that could have been a dual decision. I also wonder if she has any ties to America.

:whistle: I will be the first to admit that I was completely wrong- I was sure he had married someone from Durmstrang!

At least we know now...:p

i just read about Astoria greenhouse,this is the link if someone wants to read with their own eyes

I'm glad it wasn't Pansy. I really didn't like her, and I think her own views would have been passed onto her child. If she was Scorpius' mother I think he would have definitely inherited her pure-blood mania. With just Draco and this new character Astoria, I think he has a chance of being at least a little bit nice :D It also shows that your teenage love is hardly ever your end partner :)

Yeah, I'm happy he didn't marry Pansy. Maybe he got some sense after all...

I really don't remember the mention of the elder sister Greengrass, I will have to go back and reread. But, assuming that the family was pureblood, I am sure the marriage would have made his parents proud. I am also glad that he did not marry Pansy, I think she would have held him back.

I was reading book 4 the other day and I thought: wouldn't it be a hoot if Draco married Eloise Midgen! She's been the butt of jokes for several books, why not a good last joke for #7?

Yes! I think he did. Totally, 100%. Why? Pansy loves him (or obsessed...)! she didn't stay durring the fight, because she was a coward (sorry for any Pansy fans out there, I don't mean to offend or anything). Draco, fighting for Voldemort's cause, is also a coward, in a way (*runs from fangirls* Sorry, I like Draco too, but, still... I don't want to offened or anythong). Draco and Pansy are too much alike. Also, Pansy might have gone away from the fight because she's like Draco's mom. Narcissa (is that how you spell it?) wasn't a full-fledged Death Eater. She went to the meetings, but didn't really join in on the fighting so much. So I see Pansy like that. She beleives in Voldemort's cause, but she wouldn't fight for Voldemort, really. Also, Pansy fuss's over him the way his mother does. So, he would proably marry Pansy for that. Pansy would also probably betray Voldemort for information on weather or not Draco is alive, like Narcissa did.

I'm not sure. I think he did, but he seems like the type of person to end up with someone who looks similar to his mother, imho. :shrug:

No, according to JKR he married Astoria Greengrass:

I never thought that he married Pansy. I never got the impression that he cared about her. Astoria Greengrass is cool. I hope she isn't as evil as Pansy
