//background
Draco was the only son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, a wealthy family mostly from old money as they were both pure-bloods. His father was a death eater who managed to escape the clutches of the ministry by claiming he was under the Imperious curse. Of course having money probably helped. When Draco was born, the first year Voldemort was still there so his father was out a lot, and his mother took over looking over the little Draco Malfoy. After the downfall of Voldemort, Draco had a whole family, not that he remembers a time when his father wasn't there. When he was five years old, he got his first actual broom and he rode it around, though it wouldn't let him go too high. He would ride that thing whenever he got a chance. He never wanted for anything.
When he was seven, he got another broom that was made for Quidditch so it would go up pretty high, and while he wasn't the best at it, he was always encouraged. He fell off his broom once when he was fairly high up and broke his arm, which was quickly mended and his instructor was blamed for it instead of him being a young kid flying too high. He was always told how brilliant he was, how amazing he was at flying on his broom. His parents doted on him all the time and his father even said he was sure Draco would be the top of his class when he attended Hogwarts. Draco was a proud young boy who was used to praises from those around him. If he wanted something, he got it. Draco also grew up thinking that Harry Potter could possibly be the next Dark Lord that people could rally behind, so when he met Harry when he was eleven and he offered his assistance, but was refused, he was furious. Not only had Harry Potter refused him, the Slytherin Prince, the best and most brightest person in all of Hogwarts, he did it in front of other people.
He sent a letter to his father telling him he was wrong about Potter, and took time to break Harry down. He turned Harry in and got him and his three little friends detention, but in the process also got himself detention. His father heard about that and well, detentions the forest ended up stopping as a general rule. Yet there was Potter, stealing the house cup, the youngest seeker in a century, and Draco felt robbed. That was his title, his dream and Harry took it from him. So in his second year after complaining to his father enough, he was able to bribe his way onto the team, though he was surprisingly good for a second year. Harry might have taken his title of youngest seeker in a century, but he was determined to beat Harry.
It was one of the first things he ever had to work for, and boy he had a rough time, but he was determined. If it hurt Harry, he did it. If it hurt Hermione who stole the title of being the top of the class? He did it. How dare the muggle born steal that from him? He shouldn't have to work for it, he was brilliant and he was starting to feel the effects of not being properly prepared for dealing with others around him, for having to work for what he wanted. He felt he was entitled to these things because he grew up just thinking of it as fact, and yet here these Gryffindors were challenging what he was taught.
