What does Filch say about Hagrid in Filch's top secret journal? What secrets and gossip does Kreacher spill to Hermione after finding the journal and reading it cover to cover? Who does Filch run to in tears and/or anger when the news gets out?
Filch bitches non-stop about Hagrid's leniency, soppiness, general fondness for living things (including students) and lack of enthusiam for corporal punishment. However, what comes over most strongly from the journal is his burning envy of Hagrid for his fine head of hair and bristling beard. There's also a great deal about Mrs Norris, including her origins. It turns out that she was originally Hagrid's kitten - Filch confiscated her, and later told Hagrid that he had drowned his kitten, when in fact he raised Mrs Norris as his own.
Kreacher tells "the nasty Mudblood" about Mrs Norris, as part of his long-running campaign to drive a wedge between the domestic staff of the castle. However, his plan backfires horribly, as Hagrid is so delighted to see his old kitten that he forgives Filch on the spot. In fact, he realises that he's underestimated him all these years, and determines to be his good friend from now on. Filch is pretty freaked out by this, but not as far as to burst into tears, though he whinges constantly about Hagrid to Mrs Norris.
As for Kreacher, Hermione has put him in compulsory rafia-work classes, in an effort to retrain him as a useful member of society. Harry and Ron are keeping a book on how long it's going to last.
