Rebuilding the Manor became a great distraction for Draco – he worked there day and night while Hermione cooked food for him. He got really good at building stuff, and he said himself it was somewhat freeing to work with his hands to create things and not to destroy. They spoke little to each other – their bodies did all the talking at night once the foundation of the Manor got done and they started sleeping over at the construction site. When they did speak, the topic of the war was barely ever touched upon. It came out at night, too, in the shape of nightmares and night terrors. Luckily, right now they had each other to comfort and be comforted by.
