This is set not hours after Dumbledore was murdered by Snape. This story plot now shows the true colours of Draco Malfoys upbringing in the Malfoy Manor household. Some information is from J.K.Rowlings version of Malfoy Manor and some is of my own.

After an hour of travelling to get back home, in this case, home was Malfoy Manor to Draco where he was raised and brought up. Obviously the Manor has some good memories apart from being you-know-whos secret hide out at the moment.
Like one summer he remembers as a child, his mother and father brought him his first trainer broom and those were the happiest days of his life before Hogwarts. But now it has come down to this.
He travelled back with only his aunt Bellatrix by his side. Making his way to the gates of the Manor he remembers how dark it usually looks from the outside, all gloom like. When he approached the gate, the servant opened it for him.
"Good evening, Master Malfoy", he said while bowing down to him.
Here he was treated like royalty and sometimes it did have its benefits, of course, but the saying 'there's no place like home' really brings everything into perspective for him.
He remembers during the holidays from school he would wait by the window of the hall for his owl to turn up, usually that letter was from Ellie. Oh Ellie.. he thought to himself. As he looked up to the sky he realised it was dawn so she would be up by now, probably noticed the note and realised he had left her. He wished he woke him up to hear her voice one last time but he knew he couldn't because then she wouldn't leave him alone.
He had to cast his mind aside for now.
Entering the manor he walked up the grand stairs which serpent to the hall above them, his aunt was clearly in front as she was happy that Dumbledore was dead.
"Cissy!", she chanted. "Dumbledore is dead!", in her cracking voice.
When he got to the top of the stairs he saw his father sat by the fire with the two blood hound of dogs he had for hunting. Slipping away on his drink not even noticing that Draco had returned. Then he saw his mother running down the stairs towards him.
"Oh Draco..", she ran at him with open arms.
He hugged his mother back, he was always close to his mother then he was to his father. But she always said he has traits like his father and similarities, like the blonde hair and blue eyes. A mothers love was want he needed. She grabbed his cheek and gave a little smile to him.
"Go upstairs and rest, I'll get breakfast ready for us", she said calmly.
He nodded at her as she planted a kiss on his forehead. He walked past her and headed up towards his bedroom. As he walked he pulled out something in his pocket.
Little did anyone knew that he had the same photo as Ellie that he carried around in his pocket. Even she didn't knew that he did. He looked at the moving image and smiled a bit, he kissed her image then putting it back into his pocket.
He is missing her but he cant show it.
