Draco (Lucius) Malfoy
Height; 6'1 or thereabouts.
Weight; 159 lb. And yes, he knows that you want him to eat more.
General Appearance; Draco is a tall, lean - read: scrawny - young man with a shock of platinum blond hair and striking grey eyes. His features are very pointed, and he uses that to the best of his ability, often keeping his expression either wryly amused or steeled and stoic depending on if he's smirking. In recent times, his expression is often a little bit softer and more calm, rather than trying to scare everyone away from him or trying to make them feel inferior to his greatness; he smiles more easily. As well, due to years of playing Quidditch with his school team, he's surprisingly muscled. Not that you'll ever see him in that state: he has a number of scars that he's not necessarily proud of, including but not limited to his throat, which bears marks of having been torn out once, and his stomach, where he has a very straight scar from sternum to groin. Besides his (faded) Dark Mark, Draco also has a celtic knot tattooed on the back of his neck from his time in Bete Noire.

Physical Mannerisms; Draco often stands up straight, with good posture, another sign of his upper-crust upbringing. When he's more relaxed, his shoulders slump back slightly, and he tucks his hands in his pockets. He's usually very stable when he stands, or else he leans against something, like a counter, a doorjamb, or anything else that allows him to remain basically upright. Often, his posture and face don't betray his thoughts or feelings unless he's caught off-guard, but his mouth does twitch sometimes when he's suppressing a thought or a facial expression that he doesn't want seen, like an inappropriately placed frown or smirk. Most of his mannerisms lend themselves to suggesting that he's a very confident young man, particularly when he tips his chin up in a mark of defiance; it also gives him the ability to look down his nose at people (not that he does a lot of that any more). He also tends to tip his head to one side or the other in a faint gesture when thinking, not unlike a bird.

Verbal Mannerisms; Speaking with a very neat, tidy, educated Wiltshire accent that is slightly influenced by his upbringing in wizarding England (versus regular England) and therefore, a little bit unplaceable to some ears, Draco generally tends to speak very well indeed. Most days, he thinks through precisely what he's going to say, punctuating conversations with brief pauses while he does so; he likes to sound as put-together as possible. That said, when he's caught off-guard by something, that goes out the window. Try though he might to put together his responses beforehand, it typically fails, leaving him faltering and floundering in those brief pauses. You'll never catch him stammering in a regular conversation, though. When he's feeling most at ease (or annoyed), his speech tends to slow down into a lazy drawl that may or may not suggest that he really does not care about what he's talking about - whether it does mean that or not depends entirely on his mood, and leans towards being the case only when he's annoyed. Sometimes, he likes to hum as he works in a very idle fashion, not usually for more than a couple bars at a time.
An amusing example of his voice can be found here!

Fashion; Draco is almost never seen in any way but than meticulously dressed. This means a lot of trouser and waistcoat sets, or three-piece suits (if the jacket is necessary). He's got a fabulous collection of ties, too. He's also never seen without his pocketwatch. A further exploration of his wardrobe can be found here. Though he no longer slicks his hair back, he does like to style it at least a little bit. And yes, the blond is natural. For anyone who gets the chance to see him looking comfortable - limited basically to close friends and lovers, due to his vanity - he typically lounges around in comfortable pyjama pants and a t-shirt, but since that shows off some of his scars and tattoos, he prefers not to just waltz around like that.

Etc; Sometimes he smiles, and that's nice.

That would be the saddest club ever. But at least they have blanket forts!

Pure headcanon, but I've always liked him tall and lanky!
