AN:*Looks around guiltily* So I took a little break from beta-ing Whispers in the Wind to do a, what I call, "fanfiction shuffle". Basically I put my iPod on shuffle and have until the end of each song to write a ficlet based on/inspired by the song. At first I did it for Yu-Gi-Oh! and whichever of those characters I felt like writing, but then I decided to include characters from BtVs and Harry Potter. (I plan on uploading the YGO and BtVS ones as soon as this stupid virus scan is done and the computer will let me) This was the first Harry Potter one I did. Shortly after this, I made up a list of characters and randomly selected one as each song started (thus some possibly weird songs for certain characters later on... you'll see what I mean). I may later go back and try to link to where you can hear each song on youtube.

Warnings: Suicide/character death

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, any of the characters, nor the song mentioned here. All of those belong to their respective creators/authors/artists.


Most Peculiar Man-Simon and Garfunkel

"Kreacher must be punished. Yes, punished most severely. He has disgraced the House of Black." the old house-elf cried. "Oh, what would my mistress say..." he moaned in distress.

Later, the Order of the Phoenix found Kreacher's frail little body curled up, as if to hug the tattered heirlooms of the House of Black which he had failed to properly care for. Sirius seemed relieved that one more reminder of his parents was forever gone from his life, Snape seemed indifferent and Mr. Weasley, though initially sympathetic seemed to shrug as if to say "Ah well, his life wasn't that great anyway- probably for the best all around" and within a short time Kreacher had passed from not only this life, but living memory as well. And none noticed nor cared to find out that it had been his own hand which had caused his demise.
