Eventually Hermione – at the nagging reminder of her demon friends – remembered that she had a goal they wanted her to focus on. And it wasn’t getting acquainted with her new imp and finding her a job to do. (Colley had, with approval from her Mistress, decided she would quilt Hermione a lovely embroidered bedspread in shades of green and silver. She worked on it while living for now with the other Hogwarts house-elves who acted very honoured to have her residing among them.)
