"Master is having basket at end of bed for waking up," Kreacher said, doing whatever it was that elves did to make things reappear elsewhere. The huge basket of Honeydukes sweets and homemade treats, with some practical items like a package of inexpensive Muggle pens, ink and a few new quills mixed in, would be a surprise for Harry when he woke up.
It had been difficult getting her gifts and baskets made up and keeping it a surprise from Harry. Some of the things had been done in advance but the baked goods had to be done fresh to be best, so Hermione had enlisted Kreacher's help in the kitchen and had been baking since five o'clock that morning and was finally done decorating the last of the Easter cookies. "That's excellent, Kreacher. Thank you. Do you think you can find two more of those teacups I can engorge and another of the flat baskets? I think Dennis might enjoy a basket of cookies and I was thinking it would be nice to surprise Madam Rosmerta and Mr. Ollivander with those teacups of cookies, too." Hermione had already sent Fleck off with a basket of treats for Teddy Lupin and the enlarged teacups full of cookies for Andromeda, the Goshawks, and Mr. Worme with directions to leave them and not wake anyone.
"Four teacups is left in attic that is not matching anything else, Miss." Kreacher went and fetched them all.
"Oh, I like that blue pattern. Let's have that one for Mr. Ollivander and the one with the red roses for Madam Rosmerta. If you'll clean them up for me, I can send the rest of the cookie baskets off with Fleck." She had teacups or baskets for all the Weasleys. She was sure that they weren't as good as Mrs. Weasley's treats but it was the thought that counted and the cookies were certainly colorful.

Basket of decorated cookies for Anthony Goldstein
Anthony,
I know you probably celebrate Passover instead of Easter but I didn't think you'd mind a few treats. They're very bad for your teeth, so be sure to brush well.
With love from,
Hermione
When all of her treats had been sent off except for the last half dozen, Hermione tried to help Kreacher tidy up the kitchen but was shooed off. She went upstairs to change and clean up a bit then came back to Floo to Draco's flat with the last of her goodies.
"Missy is early," Cookoo said disapprovingly. "Master is still sleepings."
"I know, Cookoo. I have surprises. Would you help me?" Hermione asked softly as she headed toward the kitchen. She put the box down and restored it to size. A huge basket with cookies, those awful blood pops, a little toy flute, a Muggle yo-yo she'd charmed to work perfectly and couple of fancy quills, was extracted first. "Can you put this at the end of Draco's bed so that it's there when he wakes up, please? I have to take these two baskets of cookies down to Luna and Dean but then I'll be back. I have something for Osiris, Lucifer and you, too."
Cookoo's eyes went wide when Hermione mentioned having something for her, but she took Draco's basket. "Yes, Miss," she nodded.
It hardly took any time for Hermione to leave her baskets of cookies in front of Dean and Luna's doors and return. "This is for Lucifer," she told Cookoo as she extracted a small basket with owl treats and two squeaky toy felt fabric mice. "I thought he might like to give one of the mice to Nous downstairs but we'll let him decide. And this one is for Osiris." Draco had bought his cat a number of toys a couple weekends back but the shop had been out of the little cat teasers with feathers dangling from a line at the end of a pole. Hermione had gone back to get one for him. There were also some flavored treats. Cookoo took the baskets. Hermione thought she looked curious about what else there was. Hermione hoped so. She'd had to think very hard about what the little elf might like that Draco hadn't already provided.
The final basket was removed and passed to the house elf. It included a green apron with 'World's Greatest Cook' on the front, a few sticks of peppermint which Kreacher loved and she hoped Cookoo liked too, and a hand written book of recipes. "These recipes are from Draco's Great Aunt Walburga Black's house elf, Kreacher. We thought you would probably know most of these already but probably didn't have them written down. I had to promise not to share them with any elf but you. The book is charmed so that once you touch it, you'll be the only elf that can read it unless you willingly share it with another." Supposedly Black family recipes were closely guarded secrets even among their house elves. "Happy Easter, Cookoo."
