Hello everyone and welcome to my fifth blog!

My third topic I was given for the HPA Triwizard Tournament is "The Malfoy Family"!

So in this blog, I will be discussing different topics regarding this popular Wizarding family.

Without further ado, let's begin!

❥ who are the malfoys?

❥ other family connections.

❥ the malfoy legacy.

The Malfoys are a pureblood Wizarding family and one of the Sacred 28 families.

The Malfoys gained a reputation for their pure-blood supremacy and heritage. During the First and Second Wizarding Wars, they ed Lord Voldemort; some were even Death Eaters under his command.

The family crest paid homage to Salazar Slytherin, bearing the colours black, green and silver, as well as images of several serpentine creatures. The Latin words Sanctimonia Vincent Semper appeared inscribed on a silver banner, meaning Purity Will Always Conquer.

The Malfoy family consisted of an ancient line of pure-blood wizards, most of whom attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and were traditionally sorted into Slytherin House. Like many other progenitors of noble English families, the wizard Armand Malfoy arrived in Britain with William the Conqueror as part of the invading Norman army. Having rendered unknown, shady, (and almost certainly magical) services to King William I, Malfoy was given a prime piece of land in Wiltshire, seized from local landowners, upon which his descendants have lived for ten consecutive centuries

The Malfoy family soon gained their reputation for their constant pure-blood supremacy and courting richness and power from those around them. Until the ing of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692, the Malfoys integrated themselves into high-class Muggle society. Though hotly denied by subsequent generations, there is ample evidence to suggest that the first Lucius Malfoy was an unsuccessful aspirant to the hand of Elizabeth I, and some wizarding historians allege that the Queen's subsequent opposition to marriage was due to a jinx placed upon her by the thwarted Malfoy. The Malfoys expanded their already large estate with the lands of their Muggle neighbours, and dabbled successfully into Muggle currency and assets, becoming one of the wealthiest families in wizarding Britain. A known company belonging to the Malfoy family was the Malfoy Apothecary, which sourced Superior Red wine, a name perhaps hinting at their characteristic blood purity. Though they opposed the Statute of Secrecy at first, they soon embraced it and cut off all ties with Muggle families, denying that they had ever fraternised with such people.

After this period, the Malfoys began to seek influence over the newly formed British Ministry of Magic, using their considerable wealth to do so. Though no Malfoy is known to have ever aspired for the position of Minister for Magic, many family financed the elections of their preferred candidates for the post, even going so far as to pay to have the opposition hexed.

proof in the comments.

Though the family was inclined to blood purity, they were unwilling to practise the dangers of inbreeding with cousins, correctly knowing that it would and could potentially endanger their genes, and would accept marrying half-bloods due to the small pool of available purebloods. Hence, it is possible to find several half-bloods in the Malfoy family tree. This differed them from the more fanatical groups such as Blacks, Lestranges and Gaunts, though apparently, this did not deter their respect from such families, likely because of their riches.

A lot of people know the Malfoys are related to the Blacks, Lestrange, and Lupins because Narcissa, Bellatrix and Andromeda are the daughters of Cygnus and Druella Black (née Rosier - which means the Malfoys are also related to the Rosiers), and Bellatrix married a man named Rodolphus Lestrange and Andromeda married Ted Tonks and they had a daughter named Nymphadora Tonks who later married Remus Lupin.

Most of the pureblood and half-blood/muggle families are connected in one way or another, most of which are very distinct but still count.

We know every Malfoy has and always will be Slytherin. Not one generation has changed that.

Notable Malfoys of past generations include the fourteenth-century Nicholas Malfoy, who was believed to have dispatched many a fractious Muggle tenant under the guise of the Black Death, though escaping censure by the Wizards' Council. Septimus Malfoy, who was greatly influential at the Ministry in the late eighteenth century, many claiming that Minister for Magic Unctuous Osbert was little more than his puppet. As well as Abraxas Malfoy who was widely believed to be part of the shady plot that saw the first Muggle-born Minister (Nobby Leach) leave his post prematurely in 1968. However, nothing was ever proven against Malfoy.

Of course, during Harry’s time, we know of Draco Malfoy - and Lucious and Narissa Malfoy.

Draco was the Slytherin bully and would not a chance to bully the Golden Trio and any other Gryffindors, and especially muggle-borns.

Lucious and Narissa Malfoy were known as Death Eathers and loyal followers of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

And during Albus Potter's time, we know of Scorpius Malfoy — who was the son of Draco and Astoria Malfoy (neé Greengrass, adding the Greengrass family to the mess of families). While Scorpius was sorted into Slytherin like everyone before him, he was not a bully or boasted much about the pureblood supremacy like his father and other Malfoys. He even befriended Albus Potter, the son of Harry Potter — whom the Malfoys and Slytherins loathed.

But, according to Rose Granger-Weasley, he was the new Slytherin Prince after he and Albus accidentally changed the timeline.

That was all for my third entry for the Triwizard Tournament! I hope you learned something new or found some interesting facts about the Malfoy family!
