Having tired of his manual fun, Kreacher and the other House Elves easily bound a spent Hermione back fully to the frame in the middle of the room, this time in a wide x-shape, forcing stress on her shoulders and lower back. Once again the golden gag was secured tightly to her head the potion tube flowing freely, before a wide blindfold was secured over her eyes plunging the prisoner into total darkness. Kreacher accessed the control port on his captive for the first time, inserting a plunger with a few purple drops of a sleeping draught. The effect was instantaneous as he did not need to wait for the witches body to absorb the potion through her stomach. The captive’s rigid pain melted quickly into a deadened sleep. Kreacher probed the control port once more, chuckling at Hermione’s autonomic response as every muscle in her body tensed in response to lightest of inward pressure. He would include this discovery in his report, hoping this was a byproduct of the sleeping Mudblood getting the newest iteration of the Engineer’s most advanced headgear.
