The final year at Hogwarts was brutal for Draco Lucius Malfoy. Dark Lord’s defeat and his father's Azkaban sentence shattered his world. The once-powerful Malfoy name was now a curse. Penniless and with a bleak future, Draco returned to Hogwarts, an outcast burdened by his past and the scorn of his peers

Hogwarts' corridors were no longer his. Scrutinizing eyes, mocking whispers, intentional shoves—all targeted Draco. He became a vessel for the anger and resentment of those the Malfoys had wronged. Draco withdrew, but isolation still clung to him

In the Slytherin dorm, he was no longer a prince, but an outcast, shunned by former allies. Meals in the Great Hall were a nightmare of hateful stares and venomous words

Draco sought solace in studies, but the past haunted him. His father, his wrongdoings, his terrible choices—all tormented him. He was a puppet of fate, trapped in the Malfoy family's shadow

One afternoon, students cornered him in a deserted corridor "Look who it is," sneered a tall boy "The great Draco Lucius Malfoy, ruined." Laughter echoed "Remember your arrogance, Malfoy? Now you're nothing." The boy stepped closer, fists clenched "This is for what you did!"

Before Draco could react, the boy threw a punch, hitting him squarely in the jaw. Draco stumbled back, a sharp pain shooting through his head. Another boy grabbed Draco's arms, holding him while the first boy continued his assault, landing several more blows to Draco's face and stomach. Draco tried to defend himself, but he was outnumbered and outmatched. He could taste blood in his mouth. The other joined in, kicking and shoving Draco "This is for Harry!" one of them yelled "And this is for Hermione!" another shouted. The tall boy sneered down at him "Maybe this will teach you a lesson," he said, before the group of students walked away, leaving Draco lying on the floor, bruised and bleeding, feeling more humiliated and vulnerable than ever before

The final year at Hogwarts dragged on heavily for Draco Lucius Malfoy. After Dark Lord's defeat and his father's imprisonment in Azkaban, Draco's life was completely turned upside down. The once wealthy and powerful Malfoy family was now just a name.

With their assets seized and his future bleak, Draco returned to Hogwarts as a penniless outcast, carrying the burden of his past and the scorn of his peers.
