Armand Malfoy was a wizard who had no problem with getting his hands dirty if it benefited himself. Which is why he had no problem killing people that William I deemed a threat to himself and his station. After all, if he dealt with the people that the King of England wanted dealt with then he would benefit greatly in the form of a prime piece of land. After he got rid of the latest person that King William I needed to be rid of be made his way to his brand new house. He loved magic and everything that he could do with it.

Within days of getting the land he was able to have his house built with wards that would keep anyone out unless he personally invited the person onto his property. The Manor he had built was grande and that was only because a Malfoy would have nothing but the best. After he was sure that the house was exactly the way he pictured it in his head he decided that it was time to put the finishing touches on his land.

He made sure that there were two different gardens and that they flourished. He then went and bought many animals after building three different stables. He also bought peacocks and let them roam free all over the estate. It was a beautiful sight to behold. He then set to work on making sure that even after he died that his legacy would live on.

He put the effort in making allies and making a name for himself. Yes, he had the land and the house that he wanted, but if he was going to build up Malfoy Estate then he had to make the right connections. He had to make sure that even with his death that his connections would live on for his family. He would do whatever he had to in order to make sure that his descendants always flourished and added on to their family estate.

He used his charm, whit, and anything else that he could to make sure he got everything the way he wanted it. He made the right connections. He set up his businesses to make sure that they flourished long after he was gone. He made sure that his estate would continue to grow and then not only did he sit back and reap the rewards of it, he enjoyed growing his holdings. He still did some work for the King when he needed it, but other than that he just kept on growing his estate.
