It’s an altogether happy reunion. Dinner is a simple affair. Kreacher, having familiar guidance from Bellatrix, cooks them a grand meal. Clearly, Bella had been drilling into him the fact that Harry is her son and will be treated as such. He shudders to think what she did to him, to make him understand. To make him believe. Or maybe it was thanks to Barty, who had fallen to the ground to hug the elf the minute he saw him. Maybe it’s the way that Kreacher is the only one who goes into Regulus’ room. The only two people who last saw Regulus alive.
