Slytherin "Winning isn't everything," says fifteen-year-old Hogwarts student, Draco Malfoy — April's Person of the Month. "It's just the only thing that matters," he finishes with a smug smile. That, along with his gray eyes and white-blond hair, there's no doubt that he's the one and only son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. A proud Slytherin, Malfoy has been playing as the House's Seeker for three years now — not including the year of his fourth, when the school's Quidditch had been canceled for the legendary Triwizard Tournament (the success of which, remains debatable). The Quibbler was lucky enough to catch Malfoy on break during his team's practice. It took a bit of convincing (mostly that we were serious, and that it wasn't some prank "Potter set us up to"), but eventually the Slytherin warmed up to the idea and allowed us an interview. TQ: Before we start, The Quibbler would just like to thank you for letting us interview you. It's really a pleasure! DM: I'm sure. TQ: This first question is from Sarah McKinley: What did you see in your third year when you faced your Boggart? And no lies! DM: Um… If you must know, I don't remember. But, er, I can tell you that Goyle's was an alarmingly large pile of parchment. TQ: A pile of parchment? DM: Homework. TQ: Er, next question. This if from Roger Troy: Why do you continue to play Quidditch? You always lose! DM: We do not "always" lose! You're a Potter fan, aren't you? You've probably only seen the matches against Gryffindor — those aren't the only games you know! TQ: Next question! Alright, this is from Joy Manning: Do you have a secret fetish for leather pants and whipped cream? DM: …Next question. TQ: Um, from Patricia Cortez: If Slytherin was out of the question, what other house would you choose to be in? DM: Well, Hufflepuff is a definite 'no', and I'd die if I were to choose Gryffindor so I guess that leaves… Actually, if there was no Slytherin I'd transfer to Durmstrang. TQ: Right. Now this comes from Tim Brooks: What did it feel like to be turned into a ferret? DM: …Not pleasant. TQ: Aw, but ferrets are so cute! You didn't enjoy it at all? DM: It was a bit hard to, now wasn't it? I mean, being bounced along the corridors the whole time I was a ferret. TQ: Oh. Well. From Kathy Johnson: What do you think of the actor, Tom Felton, playing you in the movies? DM: He's a good looking chap. Can't say they did an awful job at casting; he's spot on, don't you think? TQ: Of course. Um, this is from Jonathon Guzman: How does it feel to know a girl that's a year younger than you — and a Weasley, no doubt! — hexed your arse in your fifth year? DM: She got lucky, that's all. TQ: Twice? DM: She caught me off-guard! Can we drop it?! TQ: Sure. This is coming from Ella Stow: Is it true that the only reason you pass Potions is because the Professor favors you? DM: Of course not! That's ridiculous! TQ: So Snape doesn't favor you? DM: Well, no, I didn't say anything about that. TQ: Huh. Well, our last and final question! From Wally Tibler: How can you face Harry Potter and his friends, now that he's hexed you and your friends for the second time? DM: We may have lost the battle, but the war is far from over. We Slytherins believe they'll get their's. And there you have it! The Quibbler's Person of the Month for April — Draco Malfoy! |
