In an alternate wizarding world where no war ever occurred, Draco Malfoy lives at Malfoy Manor with his parents, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy. The Malfoys are wealthy, respected, and surprisingly kind aristocrats who run their estate with tradition and dignity. Draco has been engaged since childhood to Astoria Greengrass, a refined and socially perfect pureblood witch, and their marriage is expected to unite two powerful families.
