Hi, I'm not exactly new here but it's been a while since I was around and i never posted 
much then. So I suppose this is a new beginning.
We all know that JKR likes to play with genres and Grimmauld place is firmly in the gothic 
tradition, isn't it? And Draco Malfoy may be next in line to inherit. So it occured to me that 
there is a common storyline where a young and ignorant aristocrat inherits a creepy manor 
from a distant relative. The plot usually involves a deranged servant, a family secret and, 
often, a pact with a dark creature of some kind.
Draco probably isn't that important to the plot of HBP, but it's fun to speculate.
Khilari.
