The Malfoy Manor is too quiet, now that he is gone. She does not remember noticing this many shadows before, nor does she recall looking frequently over her shoulder, thinking she has heard footsteps. Portraits glare from inside their frames, even though they do not move. She is haunted by creaking floorboards and wavering candle flames, even when there is no rush of air.
With each new bolt of lightning that flashes across the sky, her heart gives a great start. The widows are illuminated with unearthly light, and she swears that each time, she can see his face within.
