I was reading about Fives, and I wrote down quotes that somehow associated to Draco for me. He's not a very typical Five, but he does have some quite marked traits. I'm also debating whether he might actually be a Sexual.
_____________

To want something too much can upset their inner security, thus adult Fives go through life avoiding the things they most want, repressing their longing and finding substitute pleasures.
(this made me think about why draco doesn't do something to make the relation work in a proper way, since i know blaise's reasons)

The 5 with a 6 wing:
Combine a talent for innovation with business savvy, sometimes with lucrative results.
(that just sounds so draco)

They enjoy dissecting the components of a problem to discover how it works.
(again, this makes me see him poring over a difficult otion until he gets it right or considering a tricky political situation or the invitations to a ball, or what have you)

Extremely private and restrained about their feelings, 5w6 nevertheless identify strongly with the few key people in their lives.
(that just zinged. that seems to me to be exactly what he does.)

Can be argumentative and actively antagonise people who disagree with them.
(kind of made me think about draco's tendency to consider people stupid if they don't agree with him)

[Social Fives: ] Interact with others by debating ideas, critiquing society and analysing trends.
(yes.)

[Sexual Fives:] When romantically interested in someone, they can become very open and merged. But when they feel unappreciated or misunderstood, they can quickly become emotionally distant. Powerful connections with others alternate with longer periods of emotional isolation.
Strong sexuality gives the 5w6 the impetus to risk emotional contact and becomes a way to ground themselves.

Fives feel as though there isn’t much of them to go around, and the needs of others can deplete or exhaust them.
(I think you said literally at some point that draco finds blaise exhausting sometimes)

Fives can feel crowded or overwhelmed by the expectations of others. They feel easily intruded upon and protect themselves by withdrawing emotionally from people.

Unlike Fours, who long to be accepted while feeling like outsiders, Fives are not consciously anguished about not connecting with people. They are resigned about it, and focus their attention elsewhere, feeling that their isolation is inevitable - just the way life is.

The wrong turn that Fives take is to identify with their observations of their experiences, rather than the experiences themselves.

Nietsche was a Five.
