So Draco Malfoy for the best part of an afternoon was the new owner of a less-new house until Hermione Granger set fire to it in an accidental fit of rage. And rather than be angry, Draco always called Hermione if he needed something destroyed, after all Snape's old house really wasn't that much of an asset to the Malfoy family and won't be missed that much. And it was this event that started the slow and steady path to civility between the Malfoys, Potters and Weasleys.
