**bows down deeply to the new guest**
Hello, welcome to the home of my master, Lucius, and his family. Grimley is here to serve you all and do as my masters Lucius and Draco and my mistress, Narcissa, pleases. Dobby was the previous servant here as you may know, and Grimley has heard of Kreacher although never had the pleasure of meeting him!
Let Grimley show you around...
This is the Malfoys entrance hall. Grimley works very hard to keep the floors scrubbed so that they shine the way that master likes,
The first door on the right is the Lounge is where the guests and the Malfoys socialise, often drinking and eating and discussing their lives around the fireplace. There is a traditional, luxury bar fitted to on one side of the room where you can help yourself to all the finest elven-made wines, strongest of firewhiskies and the best mead that money can buy. There is also a full sized Foe glass in another corner of the room. I am forbidden to listen to the conversations that take place in there.
Straight on is the Malfoys' Post room which upon first entering, looks like a writing room with a huge round desk that has parchments, envelopes, wax seals and quills on it. Adjacent to the room is an Owlery owned by the Owl Delivery Services - a postal service that Master Lucius pays for. Here you can leave notes for other guests which they can find and reply, or choose to send letters by Owl post.
Then there is the Portrait Galleries where you can admire my masters and other witches and wizards that they associate with.
Mistress Narcissa's reading room
is a small but beautiful study with many books along the book shelves and chaise longues with drapes surrounding them for privacy. My mistress loves to read and here you can submit your fiction and favourite reading material.
The Sunken baths is located down some stairs and is based on tradition turkish baths, with antechambers for de-robing, a sauna and huge main softly-lit chamber with a deep-set bathing pool.
**guides you upstairs**
Turn left from the main upstairs hallway, into the Guest quarters. Choose from one of many luxurious rooms to make your own.
Master Draco's chambers are situated just off the main hallway with a delightful view of the back gardens. Grimley is not allowed to touch his belongings so Grimley cleans his chambers using self-wiping dust cloths. Grimley is not allowed to polish his broom collection either.
**clicks his fingers and touches your hand, suddenly appearing in a dark, cold stone chamber**
These are the puremalfoymanor.proboards106.com/index.cgi?board=dungeons]Dungeons. There is a Boggart locked up in an old cabinet and the dungeons are guarded by venomous snakes. There is no escaping from these dungeons unless you have the keys. Grimley has keys, so does Master Lucius and Mrs Lestrange. Self-incarcerating and self-whiping chains are used here.
**shivers, touches your arm and appears back in the entrance hall**
It will take too long to show you in every room, the manor is so very big. The same with the gardens, we will be here all day and night. There are secret chambers that even Grimley don't know about. Grimley is not the only elf to serve the Malfoys, but Grimley is the main one and the only one allowed to leave the manor if my master permits it, like to go shopping for my master if he wishes. There are kitchen elves in the servant quarters and garden elves too but they will not be seen or heard.
**bows back down until his nose touches his feet**
Grimley hopes to be of assistance to you again soon.
*lifts his head, clicks his fingers and disappears in a small puff*
