Editing Draco Malfoy (section)

===Family===
The '''Malfoy family''' is one of the few remaining [[Pure-blood (Harry Potter)|pure-blood]] wizarding clans in the ''Harry Potter'' series, and among the wealthiest. The anti-Muggle editor Brutus Malfoy is their ancestor. [[Lucius Malfoy]] was a Death Eater during both wizard wars. He marries [[Narcissa Black]] and together they have one son, Draco, who is the first Malfoy family member introduced in the series. The Malfoys are related to the [[Fictional universe of Harry Potter|Black family]] through Narcissa (a first cousin of [[Sirius Black]], Harry's godfather), which makes Draco a nephew of both [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] and [[Andromeda Tonks]]. Draco is also [[Nymphadora Tonks]]' first cousin through their mothers. Three of Draco's grandparents are identified: Abraxas Malfoy, Cygnus Black, and Druella Rosier. Abraxas died before the series begins and was a friend of [[Horace Slughorn|Professor Slughorn]]. Draco is, therefore, the scion of two old magical families. The Malfoy home, [[Malfoy Manor]], is an elegant mansion located in the western English county of [[Wiltshire]]. They were served by [[Dobby the house elf]] until the end of ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''.

The Malfoys are a wealthy [[landed gentry]] family respected in the Wizarding world mainly from Lucius' influence with Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, gained mostly from his monetary donations to the Ministry and [[St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries]], as well as from his post on the Hogwarts board of governors as chairman. However, he was removed from his position at the conclusion of the second book and imprisoned in Azkaban following the battle at the [[Department of Mysteries]] in ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]''. Despite maintaining a respectable, but false, image before these events, some in the Wizarding world were previously aware that the Malfoys were devoted to Voldemort and the Dark Arts. Draco constantly uses his elite status and his father's name and influence to gain advantages and to threaten others. Lucius is also known to have used bribery and threats.
