Draco stood at the top of the main staircase, not to be confused with the five other staircases in Malfoy Manor. He leaned against the railing looking down into the parlor. He could see his Mother's sitting room to the left, and the entrance to the hall leading to the kitchen on the left. Mentally he started thinking of ways to change the décor. His parents had always favored neutral colors, white especially, but he knew he needed to change it before she moved in. Redecorating was most definitely not one of his strong suits. He'd called in an expert to help him figure it out. The Manor was his now to do as he pleased, the only stipulation was to keep the peacocks. He figured he could handle a few birds. She would hopefully not hate them.
"Master Draco? A Miss Lovegood is here to see you?" Draco nodded.
"I'll see her in the parlor. Thank you, Mizzy." Draco wondered if he'd tried hard enough to free his house-elves. He'd offered them clothing and there was a rack with mismatched socks hanging in the laundry room if one were to choose freedom. They had free choice in the matter. However, most had chosen to stay.
Draco stepped into the parlor and smiled at Luna Lovegood.
"Mr. Malfoy."
"Please, call me Draco."
"Luna then, now, why did you hire my to help you redecorate the Manor? I'm a magizoologist, I don't know much about decorating."
"I know, but you're friends with Hermione and she's terrified of this place. I thought you might just look around and give some advice on how to fix things? I know you were held here also."
"It was in the past, Draco. Let's take a look around. Destroying the room where she was tortured would be the first thing on my to-do list."
"It's already been completely gutted and rebuilt," Draco stated. Luna smiled.
"You might have this wall painted orange. It scares away the tri-soles. They feed on dark energy. I'm not surprised you have a slight infestation." Draco nodded making a note of it. He smiled as they continued through the Manor. He jotted down every suggestion Luna had, no matter how odd it seemed. If this is what it would take for Hermione to hopefully feel comfortable here one day, he'd cover the whole thing in Gryffindor colors if he had to!
