Kate got up early the next morning and went down for breakfast to see only a few people awake. She kissed Sirius's temple and sat down next to him before simpering a good morning to everyone. It was only half an hour later that Fred and George had also joined them, George sat down next to Kate with Fred next to him.
"When did you cut your hair?" Kate asked George as she reached out to move his fringe with her fingers.
"Just after we got home" he replied turning his head to face Kate only to intently lock eyes with her.
"Ahem" Mrs Weasley cleared her throat making the two break away, "kids, I'll need you in the drawing room as soon as you're done with breakfast"When the others had woken up, all of them followed one another to the first landing where the drawing room was and got ready to get rid of the Doxys. It was quite a while of spraying and knocking out Doxys that Mrs Weasley left the drawing room to greet Mundugus Fletcher with outraged shrieks, and Kate with Fred, George, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny dissolved into their own conversation. It was when Kate was observing the various objects in the cupboard that she heard the others talking to someone else.
"Dont we all, Kreacher", said Fred.
"What do you want, anyway?" George asked. Kate moved towards them to find them addressing a very old, ugly, house-elf that had a snout-like nose.
"Er - who's this?" Kate asked catching the house elf's attention who surveyed her with eyes bulging of admiration.
"Young mistress" the elf croaked, bowing so low that his ears touched the floor, "welcome. I is Kreacher, Kreacher has heard so much about Master Regulus's daughter. Oh, young mistress, Kreacher is at your service".
The elf bowed again while the others looked at Kate and at Kreacher then Sirius entered the room who looked grimly at the house elf, muttering furiously under his breath."Kreacher must save it" Kreacher muttered.
"All right, look, here's what we'll do" Kate said while addressing Sirius and Kreacher. "Kreacher, if you want to keep all these things then you'll have to help in cleaning them. If you agree with me, I'll - I'll clean the tapestry myself and stop them from destroying it."
She looked at Kreacher who made no reply and watched him shuffle his feet.
"Is that clear?"
"Yes, young Mistress, anything for you" Kreacher bowed again followed by no disdainful muttering."What are you being so ridiculous for?" Sirius muttered.
"Uncle Sirius, it's okay" Kate shrugged and walked towards the tapestry that had now caught her attention.
