Draco is dressed in black, but it is not for mourning. He knows that black becomes the paleness of his skin and hair. Hermione has told him that his ebony robes contrast with his grey eyes and draw out the blue. He takes her for her word; he doesn't spend his time before a looking-glass, debating the hue of his irises.

There are certain types of black she doesn't like. She quietly asks him to remove his dark but faded grey robes, and those that have little sheen. Lifeless is what she describes them as. Draco is secretly content to adhere to her requests; there have been enough lifeless things around them to saturate the entire world.
