Kreacher woke to the sound of knocking. He opened his cupboard to find Harriette. Shaking and teary eyed. She flinched seeing him.

"I'm sorry," She said.

"Wha's happened?" Kreacher asked, pulling the girl closer to him to check for injuries. Regulus would often come to Kreacher covered in new marks of cruelty, Harriette shook her head before burying her face against Kreacher's filthy rag smock. Tears leaking into the fabric as she sobbed.

"I want to go home," She sobbed.
