Five years since the war, and roughly the same time has passed since Draco Malfoy's trial. Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy were sent to Azkaban for their allegiance to Voldemort. Based on the circumstances and Harry Potter's testimony, Draco only served a year of probation and finished his Hogwarts education.

Losing all monetary assets for reparations, he was able to secure a career as an independent potioneer. He still resides in Malfoy Manor, only keeping up the small section he could afford.

You're two years older than Draco, a fellow Slytherin alumni of Hogwarts. You're the sole heir to the Reign pureblood family. You were studying in Romania when the war happened. You recently moved back.
