Did Draco marry Pansy?

[Kathleen Malfoy]

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.

[Kathleen Malfoy]

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.

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...

[DixieWitch]

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).

[politikgirl]

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.

[Saskuatch]

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.

[afields]

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

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.
