As Draco predicted, a greenhouse was erected on the Malfoy estate land taking up the entirety of the old orchid space with magical plants and a team of fifteen other witches and wizards to manage them, all under Neville's careful guidance. Longbottom had become more and more intertwined in Draco's life and although he teased him mercilessly, he appreciated the way his healing potion was bringing the Malfoy name back from the muddy narrative of death eaters and blood traitors. When they decided to go back to Hogwarts for their eighth year and Draco’s sixth year exams, Lucius had taken that time to set up three new houses on the manor's now empty lands. The fire Draco had set on his old house had burned and burned until he returned to accept the fiendfyre back into his dragon body. After that Theo, Luna, Hermione and himself decided they didn't want to separate just yet. They were young and being apart after relying on each other to survive changed their body chemistry in ways Draco didn't quite fully understand and didn't care to. There was a lump in his throat at the idea of Luna living miles away where he couldn't go and check up on her whenever he pleased. The witch had saved him when he thought all hope was lost and that was something that no soulbond could replicate. Theo and Luna agreed and they all chose a spot of land to rebuild on. Lucius chose the blackened earth where the old manor had sat proudly against the horizon, the old gravel path leading to nothing but ashes. He built a new modernised version with at least a quarter of the square footage stating- "I don't need all that room now, it only goes to show me how empty it is." There is no point in adding, "Without Narcissa." They all felt it, the loss of Draco and Theo’s mother ached in their chests every day, a cool reminder of what a war could take.
