"Has anyone noticed that Kreacher's hands are bandaged as if he has
just ironed them when Harry tries to contact Sirius Black using
Umbridge's fireplace (OoP Am. ed. 740)? Has he ironed them in advance
because he's in the process of betraying his master or because he has
just injured Buckbeak or . . . ?

Ideas, anybody?"


DuffyPoo:

I'd say it was injuries from Buckbeak.  Kreacher had no loyalty to Sirius
but was forced to do as he asked because of enslavement to the family.  I
doubt Kreacher would feel the need to iron his hands for betraying Sirius.
