"Mimsy is lookin' for a master to serve!"

With the sound of a pop, a young-looking house-elf dressed in a pillowcase appears. Based on the bows made of rags tied around both of its ears, It's a safe bet that this elf is a girl. It's hard to tell with elves sometimes, as they all kind of look the same. Their names don't help much either.

"Hello, Mimsy, I'm Tom Riddle. Why don't you tell me about yourself?" Tom says as he looks at the real house-elf before him.

"Mimsy is a young elf. She is the daughter of elves from a house of bad masters. They don't treat Mimsy's parents good at all, so Mimsy ran away and has been hungry ever since." She says and Tom nods in agreement, as she does look like she hasn't eaten in a while.

"Why haven't you been eating? Can't you just steal food with magic?" Tom asks in confusion.

"House-elves don't be eatin' human foods." She shakes her head. "We eats the leftover magic from our masters. Mimsy never had a master so I've never ate nothing in forever." Mimsy says as she holds her stomach and looks at Tom with expectant eyes.

'What useful parasites these house-elves are. They offer themselves as slaves for leftover magic that no one would ever use.' Tom thinks.

"Well, I'm willing to take you in as my house-elf, but before that, do you still have access to the bad master's house?" Tom asks, hoping to rob them of some much-needed books and supplies.

"No, if Mimsy try and go back, the pain comes and then I gotta leave, or else it gets worse." She says as she grimaced at the memory of when she wanted to visit her parents.

"Hmm, they must have taken you off the wards." Tom says as he shakes his head in disappointment. "Alright, I guess we can bond now. How do we do it?" He asks.

"You's just has to put your hand on Mimsy's head and say you wish to be her master." Mimsy explains.

Tom does as she says and with his hand on her head he speaks the words.

"I wish to be Mimsy's Master." Tom says and they both glow slightly. "Interesting, I feel as though we have some sort of a connection now." He says in a bit of wonder.

Mimsy's condition looked to improve constantly. The look on her face is that of pure bliss. I guess my magic tastes good and it must be healthy for her as she's healing rather quickly from her former malnourished state.

"Are you feeling better now?" Tom asks and receives a happy nod.

"Yes, Master! Masters magic is very tasty." Mimsy says as she smiles contently.

"Good to hear. Are you feeling well enough to take me somewhere?" Tom asks as she perks up.

"Mimsy will gladly do anything for Master!" She says excitedly.

"Good, I need you to pop me over to Gringotts bank. I have some business there to take care of. Once we're finished there, I'll most likely have some errands for you to run for me." Tom says and Mimsy nodded along happily.

"Mimsy can do that. Does Master want to leave now?" She asks excitedly.

"Hmm, do you know what time Gringotts closes?" Tom asks and Mimsy shakes her head.

"No, but Mimsy will find out." She says and disappears with a pop.

Before Tom could fully process what happened, Mimsy returned with a smile on her face.

"The mean goblins say the bank be closin' at 9 pm." She said, happy that she is helping her new Master.

"Hmm, that's good, but next time ask for permission before popping off like that. I can't have my cards shown because you act a bit too overzealous." Tom says with a hint of disapproval in his voice.

"S-s-sorry Master. Mimsy just wants to help." Mimsy says as her ears go down like a dejected dog.

"I'm glad to accept your help, Mimsy. Just ask before you act next time, alright?" Tom says in a comforting manner.

"Yes, Master! Mimsy won't let you down, she promises!" She wipes her tears and stands a bit taller, ready to take on whatever task her master can throw at her.

"That's good to hear, Mimsy. We need to set some ground rules though." Tom says and Mimsy nods. "First, I'm currently living in a muggle orphanage, so unless I'm alone, hide unless I call you out. Even if the person with me is a witch or wizard, you must stay hidden no matter what. Do you understand?" She nods her head in comprehension. "Second, everything that is talked about between us stays between us. If another elf or anyone comes to speak with you about me or anything, you make an excuse to leave and come tell me about it immediately."

"Masters secrets be safe with Mimsy no matter what!" She states resolutely.

"Good, I've heard that some elves aren't treated well. I will treat you perfectly fair as long as your loyal and work hard. Any mistakes that happen are easily forgiven, so just come to me if you have any problems, alright?" Tom says and Mimsy starts crying on the spot.

Seeing his new elf start wailing, Tom gets up and covers her mouth. He wanted to win the elf's loyalty, not cause the whole orphanage to investigate why someone's crying in his room.

"I know you're happy about all of this, but if you cry any louder the muggles will come to see what's happening." Tom says and Mimsy's eyes widen as she stops crying.

"S-sorry, Master." She says as her ears lower just like before.

"No problem, just be careful from now on." She nods, happy that she found such a kind and understanding Master. "Alright, every child has to be in bed by 7 pm, so we will go to Gringotts around 7:30 pm just to be safe." Tom says, not wanting the Matron to find out he left.

"Should Mimsy start hidin' now, or does Master needs anythin'?" Mimsy asked, ready to serve at a moments notice.

"Hmm, I have a job for you. If you're feeling up for it." Tom responds.

"Mimsy is up for it, Master!" She says excitedly.

"Good, this job shouldn't be too hard for you. You just have to use your magic to acquire some currency for me." Tom says with an evil smile forming on his lips.
