The next few weeks passed in a flurry of preparatory activity; Hermione was back and forth between Malfoy Manor and the Ministry nearly daily between frequent requests for materials and a desire to be with Draco as much as she could. It was decided nearly immediately that if Voldemort  did  show up at Malfoy Manor, there should be as much Auror support as possible, though they wouldn't be briefed on the location or source of the information until the last possible moment to avoid any potential leaks. To that end, Hermione and Draco spent several days perfecting an updated, anonymised floorplan of the Manor that they could use to familiarise the teams with the site.
