As expected, Gigi was thrilled at the prospect of redecorating a large swath of the Manor, clapping her hands delightedly when Hermione and Draco had asked her about it the next morning. They spent the next week working their way through the remaining rooms on the first floor, with Gigi favouring an elegant colour scheme of soft creams, dark wood, and rich blues, greens, and reds. Gold and silver accents intermingled in a way Hermione would never have considered, but worked beautifully against the backdrops Gigi had created, and by the time the elves had their next day off (and Gigi had extracted a promise from them that they would not, under any circumstances, do any additional redecorating without her) only the drawing room on the ground floor remained.
