"Right, Sir," Greg said as he gave Snape a firm shake and then moved towards the door. He gave a small backwards glance and then let himself walk down the stairs and out the doors.
He looked about and gave a happy sigh. With his head up, he moved down the corridor, down the moving staircases to the main floor. Across the floor to the doors to the courtyard he strode, and he paused, glancing about for someone who might have time to escort him. But for whatever reason, he seemed to catch the place empty and Greg shrugged and kept on. In moments, he was outside and down the hill, and approaching the place where Hagrid's hut had sat. That had been destroyed during the war, stomped by invading Giants and utterly demolished by the spells flying about. In its stead, a new cottage had been constructed. Made of stone gathered from the surrounding grounds, it was still oval in shape. Greg approached it, and mounted the steps up, and opened the door to enter.
It took only moments to inspect the empty rooms, a large room with a huge fireplace and a kichen off to the side, and two small rooms, with a a bath sandwiched between them. There was nothing inside, no furnishings but Greg thought there was plenty of furniture at the Goyle home he could gather up and bring. He thought he'd even invite him Mum to live here, but he knew she'd never accept. She had her House-elf and clung to the notion that someday, the Goyle home could be restored. Greg wondered if he would make enough to do that; he'd at least send her money home every month and that was more than he'd been able to do, all of those years gone. He touched the wooden mantel with what would pass for as an affectionate pat, and thought it was a far cry from the life he had been raised in, the luxury he had experienced. But the last five years of his life had been lived in the worst surroundings possible; this felt like a palace compared to that place, and Greg thought it suited him just fine.
Leaving, he closed the door behind him firmly and walking the grounds, he started making mental lists of things he noted, things that might need doing here and at home to get ready for his move. When he walked off Hogwarts grounds, Greg had his head lifted high and a smile on his face.
