Hermione headed down when asked by Lily, knowing that she should give someone else a chance at first to help the house elf. It was nice of Lily to want to help them, and knowing that she was Harry and Ginny's daughter from the future, she didn't really expect anything less than care from her. She roughly knew where she was needed, and began the walk down to the closet, already thinking on ways to calm the poor house elf which had been dragged here. She had her wand in her pocket, just in case she had to use a spell to calm him, but that really was a last resort.
She got to the closet, knocking on it lightly, before opening it quietly. She didn't want to frighten the poor thing any more.
"Lily, is everything...What on...Ron?!"
She glanced around, seeing no house elf, turning her eyes on Lily.
