Maybe this is mentioned in the books and I just haven't seen it but in a lot of fics I read Draco is left handed or ambidextrous. Also his middle name..usually Lucius or Abraxas.

Yeah I've read some where he's ambidextrous too, I like this ^^ I'm not sure it's mentioned in the books. Abraxas is the name of his grandfather, but his official full name is Draco Lucius Malfoy.

I didn't think JKR ever gave us a middle name for Draco. I just accepted it to be Lucius EDIT: I checked the HP wiki and this is all I found to confirm his middle name: harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/File:Draco_Lucius_Malfoy.jpg

I prefer Lucius to Abraxas personally. I was wondering, where does the title Prince of Slytherin or Slytherin Prince come from ? It's never mentioned in the books but Draco is always called that way in fanfics. Snape called himself the Half-Blood Prince but Prince was his mother's maiden name so it makes sense. So I'm confused about where this comes from. Also... Slytherin Sex God

I don't know where the Slytherin Prince and Slytherin Sex God thing comes from, though I have a feeling it may come from those old fics years ago by Cassandra Clare (who was posting fic as Cassandra Claire). She started the 'Draco in leather pants' thing, so it may got back to there. I don't know. It's been in existence as long as I've been reading and writing fanfic.

I've got some headcanons I've noticed run true through the fandom lately:
- After DH, Draco is very withdrawn from society for a while and just wants some peace; he does not, however, seem capable of really getting it. - Draco has some affinity for magical creatures despite his utter lack of it in the books. - Harry isn't afraid to exercise his ability to pull strings in the Ministry when it's for a good cause (usually for the Malfoys). Otherwise, he avoids it like the plague. - Harry gives Draco his wand back, and the act of doing so seems to royally piss Draco off in some way. - Draco's Patronus will have some connection with Harry (obviously or symbolically).
That's my list of rarely-mentioned but prevalent headcanons I see running through fic.
My personal headcanons are probably less popular:
- Draco wasn't a sex god at Hogwarts at all; in fact, he's been so busy with the war that his sexual and romantic experience is extremely limited if it exists at all. He does, however, talk a good game, so he gets nervous that he'll be found out somehow. - Harry runs into some substance abuse issues after the war while dealing with the inevitable PTSD. Alcoholism is my usual go-to. Draco, despite being a high-class aristocrat, takes pleasure in drinking cheap swill (see: Thrill of the Hunt and Draco's problems with boxed wine).

Veela!Draco is a very common trope in drarry, yeah? He was also really smart in school, usually right behind Hermione.. (can't remember if this was canon or not)

I'm not a big fan of Veela!Draco, but yeah I've seen lots of fics with this trope I really can't tell if it's canon or not that he has good grades, we mostly see him in Potions and a bit when they're taking their OWLS but that's not enough to determine if he's really smart or not.

I thought him being second in their year was canon, so I googled it. The wikia reveals that Lucius was disappointed that Draco's spot as top of the class was taken by Granger, suggesting he's second. I'll see if I can find a quote in CoS.
...Well I can't find my copy. I believe Lucius says in the bookshop, if someone wants to check?

Yeah, I think the Draco being close to the top in their class thing has a decent amount of canon-support. I mean, he figured out how to fix the vanishing cabinet and there was that comment from his dad about being disappointed that he was beaten by Hermione. And I think I remember something about someone mentioning his grades going to crap 6th year, suggesting they were pretty good in the first place? I'm not totally sure on that one.

I have the headcanon (as kinda mentioned above) that Hermione figures out their connection first and helps Harry and/or Draco through it xD
Also I totally agree on the coffee thing!
As for Deamus, idk how you could not ship that xD I find it's either Dean / Seamus or homophobic!Seamus.
