Hermione Leaves a Gift for Kreacher in His Cupboard

PAGES: 503-504

Hermione reveals that she has wrapped a gift for Kreacher, a patchwork quilt, intending to brighten up his “den” under the boiler. Harry, Ron, and Hermione find Kreacher's nest-like cupboard full of rags, old blankets, and stolen objects, including a silver-framed photo of Bellatrix Lestrange. Hermione leaves the quilt, hoping Kreacher will find it later.
