Harry stared at the white Malfoy Manor in disbelief.
He had actually failed to notice such a huge oversight earlier.
The reason this house was still here was that it did not exist solely through Draco's thoughts. A trace of power from the Dream Realm had seeped in, helping to give it a stable form.
This probably had not been deliberate on anyone's part, but an accident.
Otherwise, if there had been an open gate to the Dream Realm, he should have discovered it long ago.
Judging by the current situation, someone must have entered Draco's dream through the Dream Realm, but had failed to tidy up properly when leaving, leaving a tiny gap behind.
This gap would shrink over time until it disappeared completely. Under normal circumstances, it would not cause any problems.
But now, before it had disappeared, Harry had arrived and discovered it.
Interesting!
Harry's eyes blazed.
This sort of thing was quite normal.
If Harry had entered Draco's dream from the Dream Realm by ordinary means, he might have left behind a door like this too. But since he had entered using the McGonagall Bird's special ability, that would not happen.
Wizards and McGonagall Birds entered other people's dreams in different ways.
Wizards were not native to the Dream Realm, so they needed to open special doors to travel through it. These doors left traces in the Dream Realm. Although they would disappear over time, traces had still been left behind.

That remained true even when bringing along an "outsider" like Harry.
And now, having discovered traces someone had left behind, Harry could
