Through Narcissa, she is the mother-in-law of Lucius Malfoy, the grandmother of Draco Malfoy and great-grandmother of Scorpius Malfoy.[2] Druella may be related to Evan Rosier, a Death Eater killed by Alastor Moody during the First Wizarding War.[3]
[edit] Behind the scenes

- In the Black family name Ella also appeares before Druella married Cygnus. There were Ella Max and her daughter Elladora.
[edit] Etymology
Druella may be a combination of the names Drusilla, often shorted to Dru and meaning "dewy-eyed" or "fruitful", and Ella, a Norman name derived from the Germanic word ali, meaning "other".[4] Drusilla was the name of infamous Roman Emperor Caligula's favourite sister, as well as the daughter named after her.
