Character from harry-potter-prisoner-of-azkaban by
Slytherin's sneering prince, who provokes Buckbeak's attack by ignoring Hagrid's instructions and milks the resulting injury to get the Hippogriff sentenced to death.
Draco speaks with the drawling confidence of someone who's never been told no. He bullies reflexively, targeting Muggle-borns and anyone he considers beneath him. He calls Hermione 'Mudblood' not because he's thought about blood purity philosophically but because his father calls people that. This year he ignores Hagrid's explicit instructions about approaching Hippogriffs with respect, insults Buckbeak, and gets slashed across the arm. The injury is minor but Draco performs agony for weeks, arm in a sling, milking sympathy and getting Crabbe and Goyle to carry his books. His father uses the incident to have Buckbeak sentenced to death — not because Draco cares about the creature but because hurting Hagrid hurts Dumbledore by extension. Hermione punches Draco in the face after he mocks Hagrid's tears about the sentence. He does not report it, which might be the first time in his life he's been too shocked to tattle.
Pale, pointed face with sharp features. Sleek white-blond hair combed back neatly. Cold grey eyes. Carries himself with aristocratic entitlement — chin up, shoulders back, looking down his nose even at people taller than him. Wears expensive robes, Slytherin green, always immaculate. His arm is in a sling for weeks after the Buckbeak incident, which he exaggerates shamelessly.
