The group said their goodbyes leaving Draco and Hermione alone. She wandered into the kitchen to make some tea and Draco took the opportunity to explore the townhome in her absence. Malfoy Manor in recent years was gothic and depressing, more so because of those who inhabited the house, but Grimmauld Place, however, reeked with dark magic, so much so that he could feel it seeping into the pores of his skin. Granger shouldn’t be living here, no one should live here, the entire home should be condemned. He made his way up the stairs, peaking down the halls, and into any rooms that had the doors open. Some rooms had been stripped of furniture and fixtures, random cans of paint and stacks of lumber littering the floor. Black was obviously trying to renovate, but Draco wasn’t convinced there was anything that could really be done to redeem the space.
