 Draco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Draco (IPA pronunciation: [ˈdreikoʊ]) was the first law scribe of ancient Athens, Greece, seventh century B.C. The laws, transcribed in 621 BC when he was archon eponymous, were particularly harsh: the death penalty was the punishment for even minor offenses.
Later, his code was revised by Solon in the early 6th century BC.
Draco may have been the first to codify Athenian law or at least comprehensively record the laws; contrary to popular belief, however, he was not the creator of those laws.

 Raincoat!Draco, by Rhysenn

Draco certainly had taken great care to make sure the Firebolt returned to Harry in perfect condition— it was very meticulously wrapped in a thin leather casing, so that the talons of the delivery owls wouldn't damage the broom handle.
