I was reading the last chapter when all of a sudden I saw that Kreacher was the second- \last proper-noun or rather character mentioned in the whole series. I found this quite unusual knowing that the last sentence of the book or series was:

Spoiler:

"And quite honestly," he turned away from the painted portraits, thinking now only of the four-poster bed lying waiting for him in Gryffindor Tower, and wondering wether Kreacher might bring him a sandwich there, "I've had enough trouble for a lifetime."



I know your all thinking, what about Nineteen Years Later. Well, thats just a little chapter not relating to Deathly Hallows at all telling you about what happened to most of the characters, but we already know most of the things that happened to the other characters are found on websites.

Its not thought, I searched and checked. If you mean "The First Character In The Book.." may be the similarity your talking about...

...still, don't you think its highly unusual to put Kreacher as the last character mentioned in the book?

Not really unusual at all... I think it's just one of those random things that happens.

Lol, it wasn't nineteen years later yet. It was the last chapter before the Epilogue. The last sentence before the Epilogue.

What?

Kreacher wasn't tortured. And he could apparate into Hogwarts, couldn't he?

yes, if he were ordered to.
how do you know he wasn't tortured? they had to leave grimold place, and the death eaters had access to it now. why wouldn't they try to get information out of him?

I thought you meant, like, tortured at Malfoy manor.

If he had been tortured, I don't think Harry would have wondered if he'd bring him a sandwich. That'd just be insensitive.

Kreacher would go wherever Harry went.

Thats a little weird, but I think it just happened to be Kreacher that was mentioned last. O_o But I never turn down a conspiricy theory, lol.

Why would he be tortured by Death Eaters? He could just disapparate away from them.
After the trio didn't come home and the Death Eaters went in, assuming they did, Kreacher probably got the hell out of dodge. He would want to go where ever Harry was, especially if Harry needed him.

Well, since he worked at Hogwarts, but left to serve Harry and co. he probably got summoned to "work" by the headmistress or chief elf.

What?

Kreacher wasn't tortured. And he could apparate into Hogwarts, couldn't he?


The Hogwarts grounds are protected from apparting so Voldemort or some evil power couldn't apparate there and attack the students and school.

House elf magic is different. Dobby and Kreacher were able to apparate and disapparate in Hogwarts.

I never knew that!

I guess you learn something new everyday, but still that is weird that he would be waiting to give Harry a sandwich.........

It wasn't like Kreacher was sitting there waiting with a sandwich. The line in the book is...
Quote:

DH ch 36, pg 749 (US edition)


So apparently Harry would have to request one.

that's not really the point. as far as harry knew kreacher was still safe and able to aparate to hogwarts and make him a sandwich.
maybe he did get kidnapped by deatheaters, but harry didn't know that, all he was thinking about was going to his dormatory and having a snack.

^Unless Kreacher was harmed during the battle, Kreacher was most likely still at Hogwarts.
