Two hours later, the group gathered in the "small" dining room. There were "only" twelve seats, and it was closest to the kitchen. The goblins had promised to inform the house-elves about their arrival, and while Tom had made an effort to introduce himself and get to know the half-dozen elves that were bound to the estate, Hermione gapped at the neatly dressed creatures. Each wore a toga of finest linen with the Peverell Crest over the heart. It was still a napkin, but with the fine woven cords as belts and embellishments, they passed for uniforms. Since no wizard had been around for generations, it had left the elven parents to name their children. They had run with a theme.
