Restless Sleep

Draco always slept soundly in his bed, the curtains pulled shut, enclosing him in a dark, quiet cocoon. At home, he was safe and sound, secure behind the family wards.

At Hogwarts, Draco's nightly routine was undisturbed, and he still slept peacefully no matter what occurred in the hallowed halls. Until his Sixth Year. Nightmares plagued his sleep, stealing his sanity. That was entirely his own fault as he'd let the wolf in himself.

Draco learned that there much to fear in the light as well as the dark. Sleep had forsaken him while things went bump in the night.

Filthy Minded

Draco couldn't believe Longbottom was the Herbologist hired to restore the Malfoy lands to their former glory. It seemed such a shame that the heir to one of the oldest pureblood families had been reduced to such menial labour. However, it suited the clumsy boy he remembered.

Draco watched Longbottom as he worked, moving from plot to plot, getting dirtier and completely unaware of the scrutiny.

Once finished, Longbottom stood and stretched, removing his shirt to wipe away the grime from his face. Draco arched a brow at Longbottom's toned abdomen; perhaps he needed to rethink his opinion of Longbottom.

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.
