In Want Of A… Wife?

Draco stood on the terrace, staring out at the fountain in the front lawn. The first duty as heir to the remaining Malfoy fortune was almost finished. His mother had reminded him this morning of the next one.

He turned at the sound of a noise and spotted Longbottom. The man was bent over, digging in the dirt, his back to Draco. He sat and wiped his face with the grimy shirt he wore.

Draco arched a brow, studying Longbottom's strong back as it was exposed. Perhaps an indication of a different choice would deter the sound of wedding bells.

Perfectly Nurtured

Draco roamed the newly planted gardens, collecting the supplies needed to brew a fresh batch of Draught of Living Death. The potion was the only one strong enough to help him sleep through the nightmares that plagued him. Muffling charms only concealed so much, and Malfoys didn't resort to glamours. It wouldn't do to have the news reach the papers that he was dependent on such philtres.

He trusted no one but himself to brew his potions. That was the reason he'd had Longbottom plant so many medicinal herbs on the grounds. He knew Longbottom would nurture perfectly grown plants.

You know... I shouldn't be left alone when I have insomnia. I went and joined three more drabbling comms last night. Here's the first one for my new comm.

Starting Over

Malfoy Manor had to be completely renovated after the war. Draco had taken this restoration period as an opportunity to begin his new life.

He made certain that his home was being handled with the greatest of care; it was only proper, of course. However, Draco also took the time to extend the hand of generosity so others benefited as well.

When Neville Longbottom announced his plans to open a Wizarding nursery, Draco was the first to consign Longbottom to restore the gardens at Malfoy Manor.

If his mother could make peace with Potter, he could start over with Longbottom.
