Malfoy Manor was actually very pretty, if not a little... large and overdone, but Narcissa's gardens were absolutely lovely. Hermione absolutely loved all the pretty colors and types of flowers with so many different hidden meanings, to those who knew where to look. Violet and pink asters, different colored gladiolus, and iris lined the light walkway and no doubt had a little help from magic to help grow in the crisp Wiltshire air. Entering the spaciously dark ballroom on the arm of her loyal comrade, Hermione brought several unfriendly reactions and wands pointed to her from the people seated along the long mahogany table as well as a growl from more than one. And an admiring one from the commander.
