Did Draco marry Pansy?

Sorry if there is a topic on this but I did a search and didn't find it.

Anyway, it was rather unclear at the end. I felt that if it was Pansy who was his wife in that final chapter that it would have said so. I guess someone might have to ask J.K. Rowling this. But at this point I just get the feeling they broke up, since I feel it would have said her name if it was her, and Pansy also didn't stay at the end during the fight. She left. She didn't stay with Draco, which I did find mildly odd considering how in past books she seemed to fawn all over him.

Any ideas? Do you think it's Pansy or some unidentified girl he married?

Great question. What does he do, now, too? I mean, Voldemort's gone, and even then, I wonder if he saw the error of his ways. Probably not, knowing Malfoy.

I don't think he would marry Pansy simply because she is a reminder of a really bad time in his life.
He would probably marry someone completely new or maybe even Fluer delacourrs sister!
But I dont think it will be a hogwarts student or slytherin.

hmm, I wondered about this myself. There were shown together quite a bit in the latter books. I think one could assume the union, but I am unsure.

for some odd reason i can't comprehend, i've always thought that maybe draco/cho would go over reasonably well, if draco got off his high pureblood horse and straightened up...which i don't think happened. would have been nice, but no.

pansy might be the most reasonable choice...unless it was one of his second cousins or something. eww.

Well, I feel he may have married someone who's still pureblood but a bit nicer than Pansy. I always felt Draco would do best with someone who's a little kinder but still a pureblood so his parents wouldn't object.

At least I think that'd be best for Draco. And if she's nicer, she'd probably keep him in check(meaning he'll definitly never do anything bad, or is less likely to).

i think if he married pansy she would have been mentioned. Personally i hope not, maybe he married a girl who he met after the war, like if he helped clean up hogwarts or the wizarding world and bumped into her.

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.

I really doubt he married Pansy. She was more dedicated to the Death Eater views than Draco ever was, which is kind of ironic considering how much time Draco spent with Voldemort. But I agree that her permanent presence in his life would be a little trying, so I think he might've married someone who we haven't been introduced to. Maybe he married someone he met during his fourth year when the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students were visiting. But I'll bet that his wife is extremely fair, just like him. :)

How am I supposed to know?

Well, that's why it's up for speculation. :)

But I'll bet that his wife is extremely fair, just like him. :)

Hmm...yeah I was thinking that, since the kid apparently looks like him. And usually darker colours are dominant, so I assume his wife is probably a blonde and fair skinned like him. I mean, I don't think it ever said Pansy's hair colour in the books though....just know that in the movies they made it dark. And well, dark haired people can still 'carry' the blonde gene(like my dad has really dark hair for example but I ended up being a blonde...and my mom isn't even blonde, she has red). It's just rarer though I think.

Meh who really knows but I hope J.K. Rowling does tell us someday.

I don't think Malfoy married Pansy. She was just his groupie at Hogwarts. If he married Pansy, JK would have said so, but I think he moved on from that phase in his life, at least enough to nod to the Trio+Ginny on the platform almost 2 decades later. Narcissa did save Harry's life after all, or at least helped. LV had already killed off his horcrux off of Harry, so I think it was great they were all getting along. ;)

I agree that Draco clearly didn't marry Pansy. Of course it would be hilarious if Draco married a half-blood or a Muggle-born (!), but it's more likely that he married a pure blood with no Death Eater leanings...

yeah. she's too much of a pug-face, anyway. ;)

he'd need someone who could forgive him for his past wrongs, i think. someone open-minded and who looked past the former death-eater-mindless-follower reputation of his. someone...nice, in general.

to heck with his parents, i'd think he'd want to break away from them as soon as he could. they carry too many bad memories, i think. well, obviously he'd have to visit once in a while, for scorpius' and narcissa's sakes, but personally i think he's smart enough to want to break away, especially from his father (who is now wandless, i might add).

I wonder if Harry gave Draco back his wand. Draco would then have the honour of carrying the wand that defeated the Dark Lord, in a sense... ironically.

Haha, we all know how the movies tend to screw things up... but I think that it was mentioned (like once or twice) that Pansy is, in fact, blonde. Or at least lighter than her movie counterpart. I just looked at the HPLexicon to see if they had her haircolor recorded, but they don't... I swear I remember reading in one of the first two books that she was more fair.

...I still hope he didn't marry her. Haha.

if he had married pansy Jo would have written it in the epilogue, I think we were lead to believe more so that he married someone different then any of the characters mentioned so far in the series.

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

I wonder if Harry gave Draco back his wand. Draco would then have the honour of carrying the wand that defeated the Dark Lord, in a sense... ironically.

Are you talking about Draco's wand or the Elder Wand? Because I'm pretty sure that Harry would give Draco back his wand, but I know that Harry was planning on putting the Elder Wand away (back with Dumbledore?) where no one could win it off of him. :)

I dont think he could simply give Draco's wand back he would have to win it from Harry somehow if he wanted it.

I think his wife is more like an arranged marriage within the pure blood family of Malfoys and Lestranges. Seeing as Malfoys wife was already shown in the first few chapters, the description from there was no different than the description in the epilogue.

I vote no (yes, we're voting now). Not everyone's going to marry their high school sweetheart and I think Malfoy's one of the exceptions here. Plus I agree that she would have mentioned Pansy by name if it was her.

I dont think he could simply give Draco's wand back he would have to win it from Harry somehow if he wanted it.

In that case, Harry could let Draco disarm him while Harry was holding Draco's wand and thus Draco would win back his wand... and Harry would essentially be giving it back.

Well I hope that this possible Lestrange candidate isn't one of Bellatrix's offspring as that would be his cousin. I suppose it could be one of Rodolphus's nieces, but that's still mighty close in genealogy... I'm not sure that Narcissa should be okay with that. :)

I can see why people would think that but I have a feeling that he finds her too clingy and annoying and also that if it was Pansy, JK would have wrote that it was her and not said it was someone else. I don't think she wants to make people wonder about such a simplistic thing. It's probably not Pansy.

i doubt it's pansy. omg if he married gabrielle.... then their son = veelo. :love: lol

i wonder what he did all those years after the war. seems like the trio were gaping at him when they saw him at the station which means they didn't see much of him after the war. i wonder what he could've done in those 19 years (personally i had hoped draco and all the gryffindors would cross their differences and become friends... ok a bit far-fetched) if the trio worked for the ministry then draco couldn't have if they don't see him. hmmm...what could he do?? there aren't that many occupations for you if you're in HP world. you work at MOM, Hogwarts, Diagon Alley or Knockturn Alley or Gringotts, or you go out of the country. I guess he's rich enough not to work. but that'll be a boring 19 years

I think Harry just gave the wand back to Draco. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for him. Winning it off him just meant that it also worked for Harry in the sense that it didn't give him the same problems the short wand Harry used earlier did.
The real issue in terms of winning a wand has to do with the Elder Wand - the Elder Wand changes allegiance, apparently, on when someone is defeated, regardless if they are holding the wand. Hence, Harry "won" it from Draco at the same time that he won Draco's normal wand. So there would be a problem, seemingly, of Harry ever losing a duel...would the Elder Wand not change allegiance? (Unless of course, Harry was bluffing the whole time...)

I do not think Draco married Pansy. It would have been mentioned; plus after her outburst in the Great Hall against Harry I doubt Draco is into her in the same way, considering his own changed feelings towards Harry.

Like it has been said before, I think if it was Pansy then it would have been mentioned. I think it is more likely that he married someone he found after Hogwarts.

I dont think he could simply give Draco's wand back he would have to win it from Harry somehow if he wanted it.

I think that's only the rule for the Elder Wand, not for every wand, I think Harry can simply return Draco his wand, and I think he did it. He wouldn't need it anymore, since he fixed his old wand before putting the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore's tomb.

I don't believe Draco married Pansy. I never liked her, she always seemed only to be Draco's fangirl, a groupie. Draco played the game, just like he played the game of being a young evil death eater slytherin. But Pansy always seemed to me a truer Voldemort supporter than Draco.

And, if he had married her, Harry and others would recognize her, it would have been mentioned. No, I think his wife is someone we never heard of, someone he met after school. Someone... nicer.

I'd love for Draco to have married Luna :elaugh:

I'm actually surprised that Percy and Draco's wives weren't mentioned during the scene in the epilogue.

Oh god, I'd hate it if Draco married Luna. I hope she got married to Neville, but it looks like the Dean/Luna relationship was showing up at the end of DH.

I really hope Draco didn't marry Pansy. Pansy was awful all the way to the end, and I'd like to think that being saved by Harry changed Draco at least a little. I kind of hope he married somebody we never learned about, because I can't think of a single Slytherin (and I can't see him marrying anybody in another house) who would be a good partner for him. It's just Millicent Bulstrode and Pansy that we really know, right?

I don't think Draco and Luna would have been a good match, she doesn't seem to fit with his character. I think he might perhaps have married a nice Slytherin girl that has quite the same character as his mother. A loving mother and wife.

Pansy just doesn't seem to fit the post DH character development that Draco has gone through. She was a typical Slytherin, arrogant and looking down upon half bloods and muggle borns. Draco now every reason to like wizards and witches with different backgrounds. They would clash too much.

I think it would be someone completely new. It might possibly be someone from Hogwarts, just never really introduced in the book. If it was Pansy, I'm sure JKR would tell us.

Exactly, if Draco were to marry a character that we were already familar with JKR would have mentioned it, she had no reason not to. I doubt it was Pansy though, the Malfoy family seemed to be seeing a different side of things at the end of book 7, and I don't see Pansy fitting into that. I don't think he would have married a half-blood or a muggleborn, he's still a Malfoy afterall. Perhaps, he's not married? Or he's widowed?....Did the book say he was standing with his wife? I've got to re-read that.

I thought he might, but since that was not stated at the end of DH, it made it seem like he married some unkown character. Since she was a character we knew about, I think JKR would have said it if she was the one standing with Draco and there kid on the platform.

Did the book say he was standing with his wife? I've got to re-read that.
yes. i was interested to read about malfoy's receding hairline...>giggles evilly<

Oh gosh, I'd hate it if Draco married Luna. I hope she got married to Neville, but it looks like the Dean/Luna relationship was showing up at the end of DH.
yeah, i always hoped it would be Neville/Luna. they're both kind of the "out" crowd, they're both really sweet and nice, they've both been through a lot...i dunno, it would just kinda seem right for them to be together.

Draco/Luna? ehh....nah.

dean/luna? i can live with it, but...i like neville/luna better.

I like the idea of his wife being a Hufflepuff, loyal and couple years younger.

All the Best,

Lunatic

I dont think that he did. For one thing it says he was standing with his wife and we know Pansy so I think it would have said Pansy if it was. Mostly because though we dont know if Draco changed his way of thinking but we do know that he at least ended up having respect for Harry and the rest which was shown I think by the head nod towards them at the Hogwarts Express. I just feel that he probably ended up with a new perspective on life and wouldn't have spent the rest of his life with a person like Pansy.
Of course this is all just speculation on how I preceived things.

Personally I think Draco marries an Owl Order Bride from Bulgaria....

I don't think Draco married Pansy just because her name would have been mentioned. Since the Malfoy family was very into being purebloods, I would guess he ended up marrying someone else who was a pureblood. (Maybe from outside of England - a former beaux batons, perhaps)

I picture her to be blonde just like the rest of the Malfoy family.

I would love it if his wife was not pureblood. I really think that his family learned a big lesson over all of this. What if she isn't even a witch but a muggle? What a twist that would be.

:err:

Well I'm agreed that he didn't marry Pansy for all the obvious reasons previously stated - I did however wonder if Blaise had a sister or half sister--- otherwise I think he would have tried to find a girl from Beaubatons.

Ooh! I like the idea of Draco marrying a sister of half-sister of Blaise's. It would be pretty fitting...

Well, compared to Cho Draco really isn't that egotistic. So yes, I think they'd get on well. I think Malfoy could have married Pansy but her outburst at the Battle would only prove to be an embarrassment. And knowing Draco his reputation would have to come first.

I don't think Draco married anyone that Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione knew or she would have been mentioned by name.
It is indicated though, that Draco's wife was also a "Pureblood", because Ron told Rose that her Grandfather Weasley would never forgive her if she married a "Pureblood". (ie that Scorpius was also a PB, needing a PB mother)
This says to me that the Trio and Ginny knew of her, knew that she was Pureblooded, but didn't know her enough to say, "There's Draco and ........."
So definately NOT Pansy.

If Draco married one of the known characters in the book I would have to speculate that it's Pansy, just for the fact that they seemed close.

It seemed to me that Pansy always sort of annoyed Malfoy, I just don't think he would have married her.

That would be my guess, that he married Pansy they were together through out the series.

Cmon... We all know he put Pansy to the curb. She was draggin him down after Harry and Co. saved his life (twice). A change of heart from Malfoy wasn't what Pansy was lookin for.

I think Ron is speculating from what he knows of Draco and his family's preferences... there is a lot of mickey taking by Ron in this scene... but I would think it quite funny if lil Scorpius and Rose hit it off :rotfl:

i wonder if the Draco posted the birth of his son in the paper or something or was in casual contact with the trio because Ron goes "so that's little Scorpius" or something like that. that or they know someone who knows Draco's personal life. i think if he married pansy the trio would have noticed them faster...can't see pansy not making herself known immediately

I definitely wondered about this. I'd really like to know if Draco married Pansy or if he married someone else.

As for the wand, I'm betting that Harry gave Draco back his wand.

I'd say no - Draco wanted out of the Order, while she wanted in.

I would say that Draco did not marry Pansy. I still see him wanting to "be important" and let's face it, Pansy does not fit a politician's wife...LOL

I'm pretty sure Draco didn't marry Pansy. It would have been just too boring for everybody to have ended up with the people they studied at Hogwarts with. And, I'm pretty sure it wasn't an arranged marriage either--after the trio saved Draco's life, he would have changed his opinions about his family's concepts, and he would have had enough power to oppose them. Perhaps he married somebody surprising for his relatives--somebody that hadn't been in Slytherin, or somebody from another country.

I don't think he married Pansy because I think they would have actually mentioned her if he did..... probabley some other witch me met after hogwarts.

I don't think he would marry Pansy simply because she is a reminder of a really bad time in his life.
He would probably marry someone completely new or maybe even Fluer delacourrs sister!
But I dont think it will be a hogwarts student or slytherin.

I agree. I think his experience as a member of the DEs made him see the light, similar to Regulus' experience as a DE. I think he married someone other than Pansy.

Pansy lived for Draco's attention, but did he give it? Did he marry for love, or for the 'blood line'?

I don't think he did, but this is less for a plot reason and more for my general annoyance at everyone seeming to marry their school girlfriends and all these little couples cropping up at the age of 16 and staying together for life etc.

But he would have to wait until he was at least 26 (not sure if the wizarding world has statutory rape clauses)

I think Draco married with a muggle-born witch, we'll have to wait 'till the release of the "Potterpedia" to see which he married with

I think that, in the end, Draco proved too good at heart and too classy for Pansy. Pansy appear to kind be pretty pro-Voldy, and I doubt she and her family could pull themselves together and get along after his fall.

Draco probably went for just some witch. Pureblood, neutral. He wants to forget and forgive for the Voldy affiliation, but he is still a Slytherin; self centered and purist.

I really don't think he would have married Pansy, since she tried to give up Harry for Voldemort and Harry saved his life twice in the final battle.
I honestly have no idea who he would have married. (I'm personally a Draco/Ginny shipper, but we all knew that was futile from the start -- it was a heckuva lot of fun though!)

bet Pansy didn't like Draco leaving her that much...>smirks<

i like the idea of a hufflepuff bride...but, like Mazuna said, he probably just settled for another pure-bred, semi-arranged marriage.

I don't think it was Pansy. Doubtless a pureblood, but not Pansy. He never seemed to love her anyway.

I never got the impression that Draco had feelings for Pansy. Pansy probably had a crush on him and admired him like other Slytherins did, and he just went out with her without actualyl liking her back.

I don't think Draco would have married Pansy for several reasons - she was pretty shallow compared to him (not that he was all that deep, just deeper than her) and after all the suffering and deaths and physical torture Draco had gone through following the Dark Lord, I doublt he would have been satisfied with the same old Pansy from his pre-Voldy days who was only interested in superficial talk. Also, she would have reminded him of how heady and boastful he was about all the power he had been accorded supposedly by Voldemort in book 6 - I would think he would have liked not to have been reminded of that after the way things turned out.

No, definitley not Pansy. It would just be far too lame for everyone to have married the same person they were with at 16!

I doubt he would have married anyone who he knew from Hogwarts. Draco probably suffered some pretty severe PTSD after this so he wouldn't have wanted to hang out with someone else who'd been there. I like the foreigner idea or perhaps someone bit younger than him. I think its also likely that his mother set him up with this woman. (I don't think Lucius was long for this world so he would be long out of the picture by this point.) Probably a pureblood but someone who did not have a history of Death Eaterness or OotP in the family. I'd like to think of Draco trying to live a very low profile life.

Listen. I can settle all this discussion about who Draco married.......... the answer is ME!! Thats right! LOL! just joking around althought I wouldn't turn down that offer. But in all seriousness I doubt he married Pansy. The name would have been mentioned. And also I doubt he would want to be reminded of that period of his life! She was very Pro Voldy and I dont think Draco really did like Voldemort deep down.

I don't think he married Pansy either--it would have been far to easy to replace "Pansy" with "with his wife."

Another thing about Draco and Pansy, I almost think they were a couple because Malfoy wanted somebody to tell him how great he was, like the scene where she's rubbing his head on her lap, it just makes it seem like he gets more out of the relationship than she does.

lol. I know what you mean, I like him too. ~_^

I actually thought it was cool finding out for sure they were definitly born in 1980. Draco is 4 years older than me, pretty cool.

Anyway, who he married is definitly one thing I really hope J.K. Rowling tells us since Draco is my favourite character.

I guess it would be shocking now if she did tell us that it's Pansy because after reading all these posts you guys made in my topic, 99% of you don't think he married her.

I assume we can safely bet that J.K. Rowling is not going to say Pansy, but I still want to see for sure.

I agree with all who have said a) not Pansy and b) Harry just gave back his wand.

I'd suspect, given the Malfoys presence at the tables in the final section (albeit an uncertain one) that they wish to stay accepted by the wizarding community and will have reformed. Doubtless (for the reasons covered so far) Draco still married a pure blood, but not a muggle-hating, DE type.

Yeah if it was Pansy they would have recognised her and said so at the station. I don't even know if they'd still have been friends after all that happened as the Malfoys turned their backs on the Dark Lord after all and sought refuge with the normal wizarding community.

If they were married then it would have been described as someone Harry recognised as Pansy Parkinson... but it was just said to be his wife. So i doubt it.

I don't think he did, but this is less for a plot reason and more for my general annoyance at everyone seeming to marry their school girlfriends and all these little couples cropping up at the age of 16 and staying together for life etc.

This annoyed me for a while too, seemed a bit too saccharine-sweet... But if you think about it, it's different for wizards than for us Muggles. They only have one school for the whole country, so, wizards basically have to choose between marrying foreigners, Muggles or old school mates. I presume marrying foreigners happens about as often for wizards as it does for Muggles. So that leaves the vast majority to the other two alternatives. We know that many do marry Muggles, but I personally think it's got to be pretty hard living in such a marriage , when the spouses come from different worlds and one has powers the other will never be able to get.
I personally don't see Draco marrying a Muggle, so it's most likely someone he went to school with. She could maybe be in a different year, so we wouldn't have heard of her and there would be no point in mentioning her name.

I think whomever he married she was pureblood. Because Ron tells Rose that Arthur would not be pleased if she married a pureblood when they were speaking of Draco’s son. It be nice to think he meet someone after Hogwarts not everybody marries their high school sweet heart. Plus i always got that Pansy fancied Draco far more then he fancied her.

I think Draco moved away from all the dark stuff after the final battle, and it was quite obvious that Pansy was one of those who did not convert. I don't think they have anything in common anymore. Besides, she struck me as more of a groupie.

What did Lucius do? It's possible that Draco followed in his footsteps, if he has been forgiven for his association during the Voldemort era.

[QUOTE=vapormist;4669700]I presume marrying foreigners happens about as often for wizards as it does for Muggles. QUOTE]

Fleur is a foreigner, so it's very possible. Due to the fact that they have one school per country it is probably more likely that wizards end up marrying foreigners. And I'm guessing that wizards relocate as often as muggles do. I bet Victor Krum married a Brit.

I'm not saying they don't - Muggles marry foreigners from time to time, too. I'm just saying I can't really see the shortage created by the small number of witches/wizards in each separate country all being balanced by marrying foreigners, because that would mean a lot of international marriages, we'd have been bound to notice. I think that those who don't find anyone at Hogwarts (or any other school they attend) are more likely to marry Muggles than foreigners because there are more possibilities of contact there. And I agree, Krum did seem to have a liking for British girls, didn't he? :0)

I definitely don't think he married Pansy, she would have mentioned it in the book. I think he probably did just marry another pureblood, but I don't know, becuase his life was saved by Muggle Borns and Blood Traitors multiple times. He could have relaxed his ways a little bit and gone for an un-pure girl.

had to have taken years, though...i mean, you spend your entire life being taught one thing, and then you suddenly have to transition into something else? i know he wanted to, but even then, changes don't happen overnight. and he'd have to open up to the right girl, and considering his past, she'd have to be pretty outstanding....

actually, i'm kinda liking the whole rose-scorpius concept (scorpius? what kind of a name is that?! i was watching some show on the science fiction channel, and scorpius was the name of some wierdo alien who captured and mentally tortured his victims...he was freaky)...it would make a good fan fiction....hmmmm......or sequel.

actually, i'm kinda liking the whole rose-scorpius concept (scorpius? what kind of a name is that?!...)

scorpius is quite befitting actually, for the son of DRACO malfoy. draco is latin for dragon, and scorpius has to do with scorpions.

so you see, that is the kind of name it is, because they're both related. although a dragon is not real, and a scorpion is, there is a relation. and i can't quite put it to words, but it makes sense.

I know exactly what you mean. They both have to do with some sort of a creature, both creatures that people aren't particularily fond of. Names have a relation to the character with Jo, so it makes sense that a dragon would bechild a scorpion.

That's my take on, was it anything like your's, xambruzzix42?

Draco is such a Malfoy snob he'd keep up the family tradition and marry a platinum blonde but I don't ever remember seeing a description of Pansy. Was she a blonde or brunette?

In the epilogue, it said: "Draco Malfoy was standing there with his wife and son, a dark coat buttoned up to his throat." If he had married Pansy, I think it would have said something like "with his wife, Pansy, and his son".

When I read the book I thought Ron was making the name up, referring to Malfoy's kid as a scorpion! I mean they're not exactly best friends are they? How would he know Malfoy's son's name??

Also, I thought Draco's name came from this Ancient Greek (or possibly Roman) guy named Draco that was this really cruel leader or something!

for some odd reason i can't comprehend, i've always thought that maybe draco/cho would go over reasonably well, if draco got off his high pureblood horse and straightened up...

Hmmmm I don't know what to say about that because I never really got to know what Cho's personality was really like, underneath all that emotional baggage..... I mean she's barely mentioned before book4 and later when she is, she's mostly crying and talking about Cedric when she's with Harry

I'm sure he married a pureblood no doubt about that, maybe milicent bulstrode? ha, think about that one.

oh, jeez, no, she's a troll!! millicent and goyle, maybe.

draco may have humbled himself somewhat, but i still think he wants a pretty wife, if not a pure-blood one.

i dont think it was Pansy, or it would have said her name, or one one the trio would have recognised her...

Draco is such a Malfoy snob he'd keep up the family tradition and marry a platinum blonde but I don't ever remember seeing a description of Pansy. Was she a blonde or brunette?

Well platinum blondes are pretty rare when it comes to it being natural. And I don't think Draco's mother is a platinum, I think it's just him and his dad. I think she was a regular shade of blonde. At least, I think I remember it being described as just blonde for her, not white-blonde.

And I don't think anyone knows officially what hair colour Pansy has.

I admit I'm personally glad I'm a blonde like the Malfoys(not white-blonde but regular blonde) because maybe they do still prefer blondes. lol. So if Draco likes blondes that's awesome. ^_^

I read that naturally only 1.8% of the world is blonde(even less for red haired people at only 1%). o_O I guess that makes sense though, when you include places where there are no blondes or reds(China, India, etc). And guys don't tend to dye their hair as much as girls and how many blonde guys do you see? Not many, I just see a lot of blonde girls since it's a popular colour for girls to dye it. I've got 3 hair colours in my family(brown, red, and blonde). My sister and I are both natural blondes and we have some cousins that are. Actually 2 of my cousins are natural white-blonde which is interesting although the girl always dyes her hair odd colours now like purple or green. But it's all cool. LOL. I like it that we also have red in our family. My mom is red haired and 2 of her siblings are. So we have the 2 rarest hair colours, which I always think is kind of cool. Although all colours are still nice really, even the more common ones. I find it weird that none of my relatives have brown eyes considering how common they are. We just have gray, blue, and green. Most blue but my dad has gray and mine are green but can look gray also depending on what eye shadow I wear. It's a bit confusing at times. My eye doctor said I have gray eyes but they appear green a lot to me so I don't know. LOL. Maybe my family should mix in more really but my mom actually is mildly racist and tells my sister and I to stay with our 'own kind'. I feel sad that she is actually a bit like this. -_-;; I fight a lot with my mom. >_< She can be mean without realizing that she is, although I feel bad for her. I guess she mostly just thinks it'd be 'better' for us to marry someone like ourselves, which I can understand in a way since we'd have more in common. But sometimes it sounds a little racist too. Lucky for her I tend to be more attracted to people like myself, but I refuse to cut off other options because that greatly limits my choices.

I don't think so. I don't know why but I feel that Drace may have moved on from whatever happened and well, his wife might quite possibly turn out to be foriegn.

Malfoys did have connections, non?

I don;t think he married pansy she is sort of a snot and we honestly don't even know if she survived the battle. I do think Draco's wife is pureblood because Ron refers to Scorpius as being so. She probably is fair haired and maybe even foriegn.

I find it a bit funny how you accidently called him Drace considering that's a name I have picked incase I ever have a daughter(mainly that one or Raine).

Drace is similar to my middle name which is Grace. So that's the reason really. LOL.

I think Pansy was only for show. I think maybe they broke up and Draco married someone we don't know.

I hope he didn't. eeurgh, what would that do to an otherwise good-looking child. ooer.

I think Pansy was there to thicken the plot, extra named characters thing... And to bolster Malfoys reputation as a popular, conceited boy.

I think Draco got pushed away from ze Slytherin group and decided not to hang out so much with them anymore. You know, I think he kinda changed.

Maybe he married a muggle-born:lol:

Maybe he married a muggle-born:lol:
that'd be BRILLIANT! I'd love him for that :lol:

I'm pretty sure that if Pansy was the women whom Draco married, and Harry and co. say her on the platform, it would have been mentioned, as something like "Harry saw Draco and Pansy." It is a book after all, and if Draco was there, and he was married to Pansy Jo would have mentioned it, because, well why wouldn't she mention it? What would it do to hold this information for us?

that'd be BRILLIANT! I'd love him for that :lol:
He didn't, because Ron says "Granddad Weasley would be upset if you married a pureblood" referring to Scorpius, so, Draco married another pureblood.

I'm pretty sure Draco would've ditched a hanger on like Pansy not because he's all pure of heart :lol: but because he always seemed irritated by her even pre HBP.

I like the Scorpius/Scorpian being the son of Draco/Dragon. A scorpian is almost a lesser dragon and i feel like (how draco is evil but not quite lucius) Scorpius will be a nasty piece of work but won't be anywhere near how mean Draco was to the trio.

I doubt he did... I think Jo would of mentioned Draco's wife by name if it had indeed been Pansy.

That'd be classic if did married a muggle-born.

Didn't it say that Draco married Pansy? I'm not so sure on whether he did or not, but to me, it seems he did. But then again, I'm sure Hermione would have said something nasty about Pansy while on the Platform. She never really liked her.

But I don't really like the whole Rose-Scorpius thing. It'd make a nice little romance novel, forbidden love and all, but it's not Jo's type of writing.

Nah, it never said who Draco married... In fact, I don't even recall it talking about Draco's wife on the platform at all... Just him and his little clone. ;)

And I kind of agree about the Rose-Scorpius thing. We've all read a little too much of the Romeo and Juliet types of love stories, and while it does make for an uplifting story of overcoming old prejudices, it might get to be a little old and predictable after a while. But that's just a hunch. ;)

Draco's wife was at the platform, but that's all we know.

I don't think he married Pansy.
That's one of the questions I wish Rowling could answer.

I think if she was Pansy Jo would have told us but as she didn't say I think she is a new one we don't know.

I would like to think that it's someone we've never heard of, hopefully a nice witch, because I think that Malfoy has probably grown out of the arrogance and spite he showed in his youth. They could have been a Hogwarts student. As it is, we really dont know anyone out of Gryffindor who isnt Harry's age.

No, I think he married somebody else. If he did, then Harry would have recognised her.

That's what I was thinking...

That's what I was thinking...

Me too, If Draco had married Pansy, wouldn't the epilogue have said Draco and Pansy were standing there with their son instead of Draco and his wife? We saw Pansy enough throughout the books to know her by name and think of her as Draco's girlfriend. I guess "bad boys" attract females in the wizarding world, too.

Wasn't the elder wand buried again with Dumbledore? I thought Harry made a note in that direction talking to the portrait.
And I'm pretty sure, rich young Malfoy married someone else than Pansy, at his school time she was just - there. Ha never seemed really fond of her, though and I am sure most of the "old" families got on separated ways. Maybe some of them even thought of the Malfoys as traitors?
It must have been a faceless person, she was unimportant or JKR would have mentioned her name.

I think it might have been Pansy, or it might not. JKR wrote the Epilogue intentionally vague IMO; she only showed us what we needed to know about the four and their kids. She didn't get more specific with other people, so if she decides one day to go back and write some more books about "Potterverse" she has as much freedom as possible...

Hmm...I would think that it would have been some unknown character that would have come in later. I honestly can't see Draco and Pansy actually getting married...besides, think of how rotten their child would be!

Draco's wife was at the platform, but that's all we know.

Ah yes, you're right. She was mentioned so briefly that I just skipped right over her. The term "his wife" does seem pretty vague, especially if it were Pansy standing there. I imagine that at least Ginny or Hermione would've made a comment about how horrible Pansy is if she were the one standing with Draco.

Hmm...I would think that it would have been some unknown character that would have come in later. I honestly can't see Draco and Pansy actually getting married...besides, think of how rotten their child would be!

*shivers* Pansy should not be allowed to bear any children. She is how I think Bellatrix would've been as a student, only less intelligent... ack.

No!!!!!

I think it's telling that JK didn't mention her name, after mentioning Pansy in the Great Hall. So no, I don't think he did.

At first I thought that he did marry Pansy, but thinking about it, Harry knows who Pansy is, especially as it was her who was the first to suggest sacrificing Harry to Voldemort. I think it is someone really different, but I couldn't tell you who.

Hi. I think he married Pansy, but it was kept as a secret for some reason by JKR.

Who else would he marry?

A lot of people seem to have this idea that Draco's 'reformed' and is now more likely to marry a non half-blood, or fraternize more with non-Slytherins. Where are you getting this from? Fact is he hasn't changed a bit, he was just too much of a coward to kill Dumbledore when he had the chance, that's the only difference between him and the other Death Eaters - the same applies for the fact that he would not fight in the battle for Hogwarts. He has a grudging respect for Harry (in the epilogue), who saved his life twice, but I feel like this in no way applies to his choices in who he would marry - the same old prejudices would apply.

Do you really think that Draco hasn't changed one bit? He might still be a right jerk, I'm sure. But, remember why Draco was a coward about killing Dumbledore? I think that he was scared for himself and for his family. It was on Voldemort's orders that Draco kill Dumbledore, or else there would be a hefty price Draco and his family would have to pay for Draco's failure. If you were a sixteen year old boy shouldered with having to kill the most powerful wizard alive or else the second most powerful wizard (and the most evil) alive would kill you and your family, would you be so composed?

I don't think Draco married Pansy because there was no implication he did. If he did marry her, she would of have been mentioned.

Well there's nothing to say that he couldn't have married some other female from Slytherin (as Pansy is certainly not the only one). She could've been younger or older, and thus we wouldn't know her as well. Or he could've married a perfectly respectable pure-blood from another country/school (Durmstrang comes to mind). :)

I doubt he married Pansy. I had always thought she was more of a follower then a girl-friend. I think he probably married another Slytherin girl, or a pure-blood that doesn't even attend Hogwarts.

I don't think so...for one, I think Harry would have referred to her by name if she had been anyone he recognized. For another, not everyone marries his or her childhood sweetheart, and I never got the feeling that Draco's bond with Pansy was as strong as Ron and Hermione's or Harry and Ginny's.

We didn't get much to see from Draco's relationship with Pansy from the start. I doubt he married her because I mainly think she was for show, like for his dad. Something tells me that he didn't marry a pure-blood either.

[QUOTE=roostah;4710496]I don't think so...for one, I think Harry would have referred to her by name if she had been anyone he recognized.QUOTE]

Agreed :) I like the idea that Draco didnt Marry a pure blood as well. I think that this would have been a good way for the Malfoys to start interacting with the wizarding world on a more real level, instead of always going after power to 'up' their status.
I also think that Draco views might have changed (or I hope they have) regarding pure blood and muggleborn, thats why I think the theory of him marrying a half blood or muggle is probably (hopefully!) correct!

I thought that if was Pansy her name would have been there instead of 'this wife'. I don't think that Draco would have married her, she was a bit nasty. I know Draco wasn't a ray of sunshine but I think that had a lot to do with his family life and the fact that Voldy was threating to kill his family at the end.

He certainly did NOT marry Pancy, I am pretty sure about that. First of all, Draco was not in love with her as she was. All she could do was following him around. I think when they went together to the Yule Ball was because of Draco's then-arrogance. I mean, wouldn't it look strange if he was all alone? Also, in the PoA he didn't even tell her that he was trying to make Hagrid stop teaching (so he wasn't sharing all of his thoughts and plans with her). And, the most important is that Draco showed respect for Harry in the end, when Pansy tried to shop him to Voldemort. How could he marry her? :no:JK would mention her name in the book, as all of you say,if she was his wife. But I still doubt this could happen. By the way, what happened to Millicent Bulstrode? I think she was not even mentioned in the last books.:huh:

Who else would he marry? Perhaps a girl from another year? I would think the Slytherins are full of girls of all ages, just like the Gryffindors, I guess that's where we are 'getting this from'.

I don't think he married Pansy. Joanne never said who the woman was, and I think she would of said if it was, because she played quite a big part where all the taunting etc was concerned.

I too believe Draco didn't marry Pansy. I believe as others do that he was never interested in her either. He used her as a cushion, to have someone worshipping him like Crabbe and Goyle, but I never got the feeling he thought of her as his girlfriend.

I don't believe he married a non pure blood, so I agree on that, but we can't say he hadn't changed his attitude. Of course he was a coward till the end, but let's not forget that he pretended not to be sure he was facing Harry Ron and Hermione back at the Malfoys. Not out of affection for them of course, but because he hated Voldemort and what he was doing with him and his family. He knew Harry represented the only chance for him to be rid of Voldemort and tried not to sell him out like his father wanted to. Pansy on the other hand was vile to the end and I believe that was something to tell them apart.

Nah. SHe probbaly would have said.

And anyway. i don't think she really cared abotu draco all that much in the end. like she asn't that bothered about draco really...

At first I thought it was Pansy then I reliased that it probaly wasn't Pansy because if it was, wouldn't Harry identifiy Pansy?

Yeah. I am 100% sure that it wasn't Pansy...because as you said Harry would have recognised her, because she taunted him throughout school along with Draco. I don't think he would have wanted to marry her anyway, I don't even think he liked her...She was just someone who was "there", so he thought he might aswell milk it for all it's worth.

I hope he didn't marry pansy - she was a cow and he deserved better. I think deep down (VERY deep down) he was a good person, who had had an unfortunate upbringing. Look at Dudley, he turned out all right.

I think that Pansy on the other hand was pure horrible - she wanted to hand over Harry and I'll bet Draco wouldn't have down that - he was so reluctant to confirm that it was Harry in Malfoy Manor.

And the way he acknowledged Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny in the epilogue made me think he'd gone good.

it has to be someone we don't know, otherwise the name would've come up. Even though Pansy was head over heels for Draco, I think he didn't really care about her enough to marry.

I had just assumed that it wasn't Pansy becasue I'm sure J.K. would have stated her name instead of just saying, "a woman" or however she said it. I think in school he was a good match for her but I really doubt that he could put up with her becasue although she might have made good arm candy in school, he knew that she wasn't wife material. And I always saw him with someone more...sophisticated, even though Pansy is pureblood she is far from sophisticated.

Fact is he hasn't changed a bit,

Well, unless you're really JKR then you don't know this for a fact.

I could see Draco maybe marrying a halfblood. I honestly think/want it that the Malfoys were wiped out after the war and had no social standing, influence or even wealth to depend on and thus, not much to be snobby about. They certainly didn't have much in the way of friends and family (outside of each other). Depending on how you interpret one of JKR's comments about Scorpius and how unfortunate he is to have that name, it's very possible the Malfoys have fallen in the world.

JKR said that Draco was much more sober after the war. Maybe he rethought a few things and, realizing his new place in the pecking order of the wizarding world, moved past some of his old beliefs. He'd probably be lucky that any girl would want to take on the baggage that the Malfoy name carries by marrying him.

We're talking about the difference between a spoiled brat who was indoctrinated by his parents with their bigoted beliefs and a grown man 19 years later. There's plenty of time for change.

This isn't to say we're going to see him wearing a t-shirt that says "I <3 Muggles" or even liking or being comfortable around Muggles. It doesn't mean he's going to want to be BFF! with the trio or even with a random Hufflepuff but just like what JKR has said - he's calmed down some and hopefully matured a little.

(As for little Scorpy being a pureblood, well, Harry didn't recognize the mum so whose to say Ron did? Maybe he just assumed Scorpius was a pureblood given the unfortunate name and what he'd known of the Malfoys. Not an unreasonable guess on Ron's part.)

I don't think Draco would have married Pansy. She worshiped him like a god. I doubt he liked anyone at Hogwarts. I think that Draco had an epiphany after Harry saved him. He knew Harry hated him but he saved him anyways. When that happened, I had hoped that they would become friends.

I do not think it was Pansy, because Pansy was in love with the "big man" on campus and she was his eyecandy. Now the Malfoys are destroyed and Pansy would not give him a second look. She will find the next big shot and be his trophy wife. I just can not imagine who would marry him. Purebloods would not want him, because his family is an embarassment and less than purebloods would hatge him for what he did with Voldermort. It must be a former DE kid. They may have been as destroyed as his family and they could understand eachother's pain.

Well, it's not impossible. She seemed to understand him a bit throughout the years, and was about one of the only girls in company with Draco. They would most likely have gotten together (you know, sooner or later.... maybe)

I don't believe so since Harry and Ron didn't recognize her.

I think Draco became the first wizard to have an inter-relations marriage and married Moaning Myrtle :) After all, she was his confidante.

I see Lucius having some old contacts from Durmstrang, so the Malfoys leave the country for a few years, selling off Malfoy Manor. After having Voldemort there, they'll want nothing to do with it. While in eastern Europe, Draco will meet his future wife.

Pansy? No. All the characters can't marry their Hogwarts sweethearts. That would be totally boring. Lol

I think Draco became the first wizard to have an inter-relations marriage and married Moaning Myrtle :)

:lol:it would've been very funny if he married her-I was really surprised to see that it was draco who had been with Myrtle, i thought he would've chased her away and throw things through her.
Anyways, it said in the epilogue that harry didn't recognise the woman beside draco, so i just thought he married some other person

I don't think his wife was Pansy because if she was, then it would've been mentioned.
I think the wife was just some other person Draco met.

I'm sure Draco married some Upper-class witch who attended another school (maybe Durmstrang). Or maybe a Beauxbaton girl.

I see Lucius having some old contacts from Durmstrang, so the Malfoys leave the country for a few years, selling off Malfoy Manor. After having Voldemort there, they'll want nothing to do with it. While in eastern Europe, Draco will meet his future wife.


I think this is the best theory. Draco earlier on in the series even considered switching schools to Durmstrang. We never met any females from Durmstrang so it is extremely possible and would explain why the Potters and Weasleys had no idea who the wife was, maybe the Malfoys even moved to Eastern Europe for good. I mean if the Malfoys were still living in the same area you would think that Harry and the gang would be more familiar with the Malfoys and who the wife was. It seemed the way it was written, nobody had seen the Malfoys for a few years but that would not explain why Malfoy was then at King's Cross. If they had moved to Durmstrang area and if Draco finished whatever education he needed there, you would think Scorpious would be starting at Durmstrang and not Hogwarts. :hmm:

no i dont think so, it must have been someone harry never saw before

I wouldn't think that Draco married Pansy - if he had it would definitely be mentioned in the epilogue.

Also, I know most of the couples that we meet throughout the series had been together since their school days but this doesn't mean that Draco would. It's not realistic that everyone marries their girlfriend/boyfriend from school. Also I don't think that Draco would have been quite capable of a mature relationship for a number of years after the books finish, although we don't know if he was even capable of a mature relationship with his wife.

I agree with most people, I don't think that he did, because it would have been mentioned in the epilogue.

I think that if Pansy had been Draco's wife it would have been mentioned. I really hope they didn't get married because I always really loathed Pansy.

Also, probably Draco was rather emotionally shaken and unstabeable for several years after the books ended, so he may not have gotten married until slightly later than most. I like the idea of the Malfoys traveling to eastern Europe and possibly Durmstrang. I'm sure they would have wanted to lie low for quite some time! That would also explain why none of the trio recognized Draco's wife.

Great question. What does he do, now, too? I mean, Voldemort's gone, and even then, I wonder if he saw the error of his ways. Probably not, knowing Malfoy.

I hope he didn't marry Pansy, I can't stand her. Though they are probably well-suited.

I also thought it was very ungracious of him just nodding curtly when he sees the Potters and the Weasleys. After all, they did save his live twice on that last night at Hogwarts, he may have shown a little gratitude. So, no, I doubt that he sees the error of his ways.

As to what he does now - the Malfoys are so rich, he doesn't have to do anything. For that matter, what did Lucius do for a living? Death Eaters weren't paid for just being Death Eaters, yet they lived in luxury in that mansion that Bellatrix calls "our family home" which is kind of usurping territory of her. She was born a Black, and married Lestrange, the Malfoy manor could hardly be her "family home". Where did she actually live, btw, when not with her sister's family, and what happened to her husband? He's not mentioned at all in DH. Was he dispatched before, in HBP? I can't remember.

I don't think so, Harry or Ron would have recognised her. Furthermore, I think Malfoy knew all the way Pansy wass full of it, a nasty little woman turned out to be.

if they have children,what will they be named??

if they have children,what will they be named??

Well Draco's first child, no matter who he married is named Scorpius :lol:

That is Draco being gracious. Draco's normal behavior would have been to go over to the Potters and Weasleys and start insulting them or giving out left hand complements to embarrass them. They may not all be friends, but I think the Malfoys have respect for the powers and positions of the Weasleys and Potters.

As to what he does now - the Malfoys are so rich, he doesn't have to do anything. For that matter, what did Lucius do for a living? Death Eaters weren't paid for just being Death Eaters, yet they lived in luxury ...

Lucius worked at the MoM, in what position I do not remember, but my guess is that the Malfoys no longer have that family fortune that they once had. Along with status and reputation, I am sure they also lost quite a bit of money. They got out of jailtime, but there may have been fines and reperations made to those they may have caused harm to.
I am sure Draco probably has some job, though it is doubtful that it would be with the MoM.

He couldnt' have. JKR would've told us if it were her.

He couldnt' have. JKR would've told us if it were her.


Any ideas on who his wife is or where she came from? :whistle:

No, I don't think that Draco would have married Pansy. If he had married somebody we had met before Jo would have mentioned her by name.

My other reason is that from the way I personally thought their relationship was written, was that is was very one sided. It was all Pansy, Draco didn't seem as interested. She was there are paying him the attention he was used to at the time. Nothing deeper than that.

That did cross my mind...in a disturbing thought. I don't like Pansy, she's such a show-off and a flirt. While I can't say I like Draco, I think our little dragon deserves much better than Pansy.

I'm quite sure that Pansy was NOT Draco's wife, really. Why on earth made Harry, Ron and Hermione forgot Pansy? The trio never forgor Pansy. If Pansy was Draco's wife, they should recognized her, to be honest.

I doubt it. It seems like JK would have said it if he had. Though I kind of got the impression that Draco leads something of a secluded like. He sees Harry and the lot in Kings Cross and he acknowledges them but he seems to want to not be noticed. I don't know, maybe its just me. I think that after that final battle, Draco and his family were probably shunned from the rest of the Voldemort followers.

Has anyone asked JKR who Draco ended up with?

From the way Rowlings describes Pansy I don't think she was a attarctive person, both physically and personality wise. Draco seem to be more into Voldermor and then finding a more appealing mate.
Despite being such a creep and coward most of the book I think he finally realized along with his parents that Voldermort was not in their best interest. In the Epiloge when Harry sees Draco at the station there is no mention of her.
I tend to think when he finally starting seeing things the right way he finally realized what a disgusting person she was and wondered why he didn't realize that before. As much as I disliked Draco I'd like to think he had better taste at the end. I would think she was so mortified with Tom Riddle's demise that she disappears into oblivion.

granted she fawned all over him and he let her, I never got the impression that he liked her enough to consider her a serious girlfriend.

It is curious to see who he did marry and what she was like.

I hope not. I've always thought that Malfoy was a bit too good for her to tell the truth, but maybe my perception of Pansy is a bit warped. I'd like to see Draco marrying someone from Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, someone that could stop him being such an arrogant git. So basically i feel Draco needs a strong woman to keep him in order, or he'll end up like his father. PROVE ME RIGHT DRACO! xD

Well we have seen that Pansy likes Draco. I mean she was strocking his hair and what not. I think Yes. I think that Pansy Parkinson becam Pansy Malfoy.

Yeah, the trio would have mentioned Pansy if she had been standing next to Draco. 'look, Draco and Pansy' or in the narration it would have said Draco with his wife Pansy.

He should've married a Muggle born. What am I sayiing, a Muggle born, a Muggle.:lol:

That's a pleasant idea, but it wouldn't happen in a million years. Not only is he not so inclined, his parents would probably disown and disinherit him. I don't see Draco giving up his rights to the Malfoy Manor and fortune, do you? :no:

Good point. Whoever it was, it can't have been Pansy.

Draco would never marry a Muggle, that would just be too complicated in too many ways.

But a Muggleborn, I could believe. A half-blood definitely. I could also see his parents being all right with it. Why? Because they value survival more than their pureblood beliefs and if the new status-quo is friendly towards muggleborns and halfbloods (as it surely will be) then they'd happily toe the line to gain back some respect.

Since they can't claim Imperius this time around, a advantageous marriage between Draco and some high-profile/well-respected/wealthy halfblood or muggleborn would be in their best interests.

I feel like if he did marry Pansy that would have been mentioned. I highley doubt that the two married. In DH, Pansy was still willing to sell Harry out. It seemed that Draco had a change of heart by the end. I like to think he found love later on in life and married. It would be great to hear that he married a muggle-born, or half-blood instead of a pure-blood, but I don't know how likely that is.

This would be a good question to ask Jo. :)

Well for anyone who asks her...please plead with her to NOT make it Pansy. I hate Pansy. I don't believe that Draco "liked" Pansy, he just liked the attention. It boosted his ego. But I don't think he actually liked her. There's no where, where it says he actually liked her.

Oh I so hope he didn't marry her. Plus, as many others have said before me...if he had married her, she would have been mentioned. But alas, she wasn't. I could see him marrying a muggleborn. Definitely.

I doubt it, not only for personal preferrence (I'm not really a Draco fan but I like Pansy even less, in my views she will get taught a lesson similar to how Dudley did. I even had a dream about it, but knowing how stubborn she is I doubt that she'll ever change).

But for the obvious one the trio would've recognised her immediately and Draco probably saw Pansy for the true coward and deserter she was and dumped her (either that or personal referrence).

Draco's certainly wisened up in 19 years (just like everyone else) and sure the "friendship" thing with Harry is never gonna happen but he still holds some sort of respect for him (seeing that he saved his life) and yeah, best case scenario, he saw Pansy for what she really was and dumped her.

I agree with most on here that he didn't marry Pansy, because I think if he did, Jo would have mentioned it in the epilogue, it seems silly not to.

However, it did get me thinking a fair bit about his life after the war. I also think he may have distanced himself from his family, especially his father, and also tried to redeem some of his previous actions.

It's also fair to assume he married a pure-blood witch, just because he had the mentality drilled into him.

I'm not sure about him marrying any of Fleur's cousions etc though, because he only really had contact with them in his fourth year. But you never know.

I could see him meeting a witch elsewhere though, and a foreign one maybe, because then she might not know about his past etc.

Actually, I've been thinknig about it so much, I started writing a fan fiction about how Draco met his wife. I'll probabily post it in Flourish and Blotts when it's complete.

I'm looking forward to reading that bit of fan fiction!

I agree, if Draco had married Pansy, not only would Jo have named her, the Trio would have recocgnized her. It would have been "they saw Draco and Pansy" instead of "Draco and his wife".

Besides, I think Draco would have married a pretty woman, and Pansy was not described as such. I think she had a pug nose or something. When Rita Skeeter describes her as "very attractive" (or words to that effect), the Trio can't believe their eyes. They didn't know about Rita yet, how she could twist facts to fit the slant of her articles. Remember also that after having described Hermione as "strikingly pretty", she later changes it to "plain but ambitious" when she puts out the story that Hermione is going after all the famous guys (Krum, Harry), "breaking Harry's heart" in the process.

Besides, I think Draco would have married a pretty woman, and Pansy was not described as such. I think she had a pug nose or something.

Well, I tend to think Pansy was pretty or at least cute, pug nose aside, because 1.) I can't see Draco, especially a teenage Draco, dating someone who wasn't 2.) That was the only bad thing Harry had to say about her looks-wise and if there had been more, I'm sure he would have mentioned it.

That was the only bad thing Harry had to say about her looks-wise and if there had been more, I'm sure he would have mentioned it.

I don't know if Harry really would have mentioned it. Pansy wasn't really a direct antagonist towards him, and I'd like to think he'd have more decency than to stoop to that level.

As for Malfoy, well I always thought she was more into him than he was into her...so I doubt they ended up together in the end. But I guess we won't know until the encyclopedia :)

I doubt he married Pansy, because the trio would have recognised her. Besides I was under the impression that Draco never really liked Pansy that much, he probably just liked the attention she gave him.

Would he have married a pure-blood? I know that people are saying he would so his parents would approve but do you think the Malfoys still stuck to their pure-blood supremacy beliefs after the downfall of Voldemort?

I don't know if Harry really would have mentioned it. Pansy wasn't really a direct antagonist towards him, and I'd like to think he'd have more decency than to stoop to that level.

Read the descriptions he gives of Millicent, Crabbe, Goyle and Merope. To name a few. He might not have meant to be mean to all of them but he was brutally honest. If the worse thing he could fixate on with Pansy was her nose then she probably wasn't too bad-looking.

Would he have married a pure-blood? I know that people are saying he would so his parents would approve but do you think the Malfoys still stuck to their pure-blood supremacy beliefs after the downfall of Voldemort?

Lucius? Yes. He was actually physically repulsed by Hermione when he met her in GoF because she was a Muggleborn. Narcissa? Probably. Born and raised in the oh-so-nuturing Black household and she went on to marry a Death Eater and was his supportive wife. (Even if she was unhappy when Draco joined up.)

Now, Draco? That's the question. He was young enough so that his beliefs wouldn't be that ingrained in him and he'd seen enough after living with the trauma of having Voldemort in his home for a year, torturing and murdering people. Draco spent almost two years of his life, constantly worrying about his own life and that of his parents, knowing they were in danger from Voldemort. I think it would definitely make sense that he lost his ideas about pureblood supremacy but that doesn't mean he ever became truly tolerant of the muggleborn or muggles. He could believe they shouldn't die or be abused for who they are without ever wanting to associate with them.

Or he could change completely. Who knows?

Jo would have mentioned it if Draco was with Pansy. That's what I think, anyway.

Would he have married a pure-blood? I know that people are saying he would so his parents would approve but do you think the Malfoys still stuck to their pure-blood supremacy beliefs after the downfall of Voldemort?

Well we know that Scorpius is a pureblood so that must make Draco's wife a pureblood. (By the way I agree it's not Pansy, for all the reasons stated before me.)

My own thought is that Draco probably did not raise Scorpius in an overtly bigoted household. Draco probably did make an effort to consciously not pass the hate on to the next generation. I highly doubt the term "mudblood" was ever thrown around.. I think during the war Draco did learn the error of his ways, if you cut a muggleborn it's not mud that comes out.

But I still have this feeling that those feeling of pureblood supremacy are deep rooted in him. I think it is very hard to get rid of the passive racist feeling when that is how you where brought up. For instance he might he perfectly okay with fact that his son is going to school with muggleborns; but if it was all the same he would prefer a pureblood to be Minister of Magic. Following this line of thought I can see him it a bit off putting to marry a muggleborn. However I would bet that after the war he probably wouldn’t be attracted to some who reminds him of his time amongst the Death Eaters either. In all I would bet that his wife is a pretty pureblood, who had a sweet disposition.

Well we know that Scorpius is a pureblood so that must make Draco's wife a pureblood. (By the way I agree it's not Pansy, for all the reasons stated before me.)

Not necessarily. She could be a halfblood. If one of her parents were pureblood and the other, say, a muggle-born then Scorpius would be a pureblood since all his grandparents would have been wizards.

I doubt he married Pansy, because the trio would have recognised her. Besides I was under the impression that Draco never really liked Pansy that much, he probably just liked the attention she gave him.I agree on both accounts. Pansy is a known HP character and the trio would have noticed if she was Draco´s wife. But I don´t think Draco was really in love with Pansy. Most likely he just enjoyed her attention and admiration. Which is not unusual for people at that age.

Would he have married a pure-blood? I know that people are saying he would so his parents would approve but do you think the Malfoys still stuck to their pure-blood supremacy beliefs after the downfall of Voldemort?Why wouldn´t he marry a pureblood? If they love each other? If they are right for each other? Blood status shouldn´t be important in any way and hopefully Draco has learnt that. If he has married a muggle-born his parents won´t have approved, but that should have been irrelevant either, if Draco cared for this woman. If he has married a pureblood his parents will have approved, but that approve shouldn´t be the reason for Draco to marry a pureblood. Ideally he should just marry the woman who is right for him, regardless of the so-called blood status.

I think you misunderstood me, I meant would he have only dated and married purebloods, because now that Voldemort had been defeated I assume a lot of the old pureblood bigotry would have disappeared. I'm not saying that Draco wouldn't have married a pureblood, I'm saying would she have to be a pureblood.

I honestly dont think he married Pansy. It would have been mentioned, and I dont think Pansy would want to marry Draco anyway. I think she just liked him because he was like the King of Slytherin, and he was that just because of his father. It was just a large school girl crush. And to tell you the truth, I dont think Draco liked Pansy that much. She was very obsessive over him. She smothered him!!

no, he married someone else

Good question. I don't know, but it doesn't seem as though he did. I don't think Pansy wanted Draco after Voldemort was killed. It could be that she dumped Draco.

I don't think he married Pansy. I think we would have been told if that were the case.

He did not marry Pansy because he did not love her... He simply used her and probably just hung out with her because she treated him like a god... I bet Draco deflated his head and married someone he actually loved for a change..:)

You realise, Draco probably did very well in the marrige department. Think about it, Lucius and Narcissa are probably the best example in the Potterverse of a loving, stable couple who are not dead or do not have too many children. In this area, he had good role models.

All the Best,

Lunatic

...Too many kids?

Huh?

I am sorry when did they become stable parents? :rotfl: I would say that they were horrible parents for exposing their son to violence and death and forcing him to choose a path that is wrong morally and ethically.... The Weasleys may have had many children but they were great parents who provided their children with love and stability... However this thread is not the Malfoy's marriage vs Weasley marriage... For my part I believe that maybe Draco broke away from his parents and made the right decision for the first time in his life... I hope he learned from their mistakes but I doubt it... Like Ron once sagely said "Poisonous toadstools don't change their spots"...:lol:

I do not think Draco married Pansy because if he had, J.K. Rowling would have mentioned it or Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny would have recognised
her.

I hope he learned from their mistakes but I doubt it... Like Ron once sagely said "Poisonous toadstools don't change their spots"...

And that's why Dumbledore and Snape were revealed to be just as rotten as they were at 18, right? ;)

But, I agree with you on the Malfoys and the Weasleys. It's clear the Malfoys loved Draco but they made a lot of bad choices both as people and as parents. And the worst mistake they ever made with their son was not encouraging to him to think for himself so he'd have a better chance of breaking free from their beliefs sooner.

And while the Weasleys were often strapped on cash, their children never went without the things they needed like clothes, food or school supplies. (And, no, having new clothes and new books does not count as a necessity. It's very nice but it's not necessary.) More importantly, they were loved and their parents tried to instill integrity, compassion and courage in them.

Ugh, I hope not!

I think the war matured Draco and he ended up choosing a woman from Durmstrang who didn't fall all over him at every waking moment but still was pureblood.

Plus, I agree that they would have recognized Pansy.

Not everyone marries their high school sweetheart!

Pansy doesn't seem like the type to stay committed...:lol:

I think Draco would definitely have moved on from the whole Hogwarts scene anyway. He could have easily found some rich girl from a family with albino peacocks somewhere else.

Yeah, I don't think he'd have stuck with Pansy. At the end of DH, she didn't really come off too nicely with anyone on the right side, whereas the Malfoys kind of got off the hook (again!). Knowing Draco, if Pansy was really seen that badly with the rest of society, he'd cut and run. As much as I love Draco, it's something I could see him doing, no matter how much he liked Pansy.

I kind of see his wife as being this high status, powerful woman but who really did care about him. I really did get some respect for Draco throughout Deathly Hallows (especially in the Malfoy Manor when he was playing stupid with the Death Eaters) and so I kind of want him to have a good marriage, even if he did some pretty bad things throughout his life...

I really have to stop feeling so sorry for Draco. >_<

No I don't think he did. I don't really think he was ever really interested in her. I think it was fun and typical for him to have girls fawning all over him. I don't think there was ever a mention of her and him being an actual item. Yeah they went to the ball together, but it doesn't say as anything more than friends. She was obsessed with him, and I personally get the vibe that he just thinks of her as a puppet, not as an equal.

I think he would have married someone with much more self respect and someone he saw as an equal. Someone who didn't think he was gods gift to the earth, but someone who just saw him for who he was.

Not sure, but I don't doubt that Pansy would have been crushed if he hadn't. And we should also consider that, while Draco was a complete jerk, I think at some point he had to recognize that many of the ideals that he embraced led him and his family to near ruin -- I do not think he would so quickly return to that place, especially when it came time to start a family of his own. I think he would want someone who truly cared for him, the way Narcissa cared for Lucius, and that he would value family perhaps more than he may once have.
