"Until I decide to get back to normal, I'll keep them that way," Daemon said. 'So, how have you been these days?

' 'How am I?" she said softly. - 'He didn't come here just to ask that?'

Well, she thinks Very well, actually, a little nervous about what's happening now, but for some reason she feels safe in his presence.

''I'm fine, I guess,'' Hermione replied. ''And you, how are you these days?

''I'm fine. I spent some time watching lots of fun movies with the girls, went to Gringotts bank to do business with the elves, fixed the Babylon Gate, and here I am." Daemon said, summing up some of his day and avoiding saying anything about Malfoy's bankruptcy.

"Babylon Gate? What's that?" she asked.

"The King's Treasury. Where everything the King of Heroes has collected in his lifetime.'' Daemon said. "'From Excalibur to Durandal.

"'Wait a minute! Wasn't Excalibur just a legend or rather, shouldn't everyone just be a legend?'' said Hermione shocked.

Another explosion sounded in the forest.

''Yes, here in this world, only Excalibur is real. She is just a normal sword made of steel without any enchantment.'' Daemon said. ''On the other hand Durandal, she belonged to the king's treasure, anything inside is not normal at all, and only Excalibur exists in the legend of this world.

- Especially the transparent swimsuits.''

"How did you know I was here?" asked Hermione, looking at him strangely. He wasn't spying on her, was he?

"Khahrahk told me,'' Daemon replied.

After a few minutes of exchanging short words, Daemon was not one for socializing and Hermione was a little uneasy because of his presence.

Seeing that he was a bit bad at socializing, Hermione ended up finding this a bit cute, but she quickly pushed those thoughts out of her mind.

He could be worse than her at socializing while she was in her first year at Hogwarts.

They had talked for five minutes that they almost forgot what was around them, Hermione asked him several questions about magic that Daemon gladly answered.

Realizing that they were going to be there for a long time talking about magic and its uses, Daemon unfortunately put an end to this conversation, they could start later, he came here to catch an Elf-Domestic that would be wrongfully accused, talk to Hermione a bit and get some fresh air, the girls for some reason didn't like it when he was stuck inside a closed room creating a bit of their craziness.

"Let's talk another day'' He said. "If you want to see me again, call my name, I'll know right away."

"Very well." Hermione replied.

Hermione looked at the witches and their fainted friends pointing at them, she asked. ''What are you going to do with them?''

''I'm going to erase their memories of me, I don't need someone curious trying to find me.'' Daemon said. ''As for your friends...you tell them about me, but only they can know about me.''

Waking each of them there, some started to get up with a slight discomfort in their bodies, others still remembered the previous events and were about to pick up their wands again, but before that could happen their eyes went white and rolled back in their skulls.

White balls came out of their heads and went into Daemon's palm. Joining one, he destroyed what would be the memories of those witches.

He put some false memories inside those witches' heads, taking the Household Elf, he easily broke the Master and servant contract she had.

Opening his big eyes the little "Elf" with thin arms and legs and huge heads and eyes, with pointed ears like those of a bat. Looking at the Great Noble in front of her, Winky said hurriedly in her loud voice. "Great Noble, there are bad people flying! ''

"I know, Winky, do you want to serve me in his place?'' he said.

Hearing what he said, Winky wanted to accept, but she already had a master with whom she made a contract.

Panicking and realizing that she no longer had a binding contract with the Master, she heard the voice of the Grand Noble.

"I broke your binding contract, he would turn her over to the ministry of magic and dismiss her from her duties.

"Why would Mr. Crouch do that? Winky didn't do anything wrong.'' Winky said.

"Yes, you didn't do anything wrong, but you were at the scene of the crime and with the boy's wand." Daemon replied.

"She's with Harry's wand?". Came Hermione's voice.

''Winky found her in the forest. Winky wanted her back, but there were evil witches flying around and Winky was hit by one of them,'' said Winky.

''So Winky you want to be my house elf? ''Daemon said.

''Before she accepts...you don't intend to treat her exactly like them?'' Hermione spoke with disgust.

''No, there's no reason to do that.'' Answered Daemon.

Looking at Daemon, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she said. "I hope not."

''Winky accepts!'' Winky said with enthusiasm almost jumping for joy, that Elf-Domestic wouldn't make a binding contract with the Great Noble?

"Good." Daemon said.

Extending his hand, Winky made the same small bright sparks as Daemon accepted Winky's binding contract accepting him as an Elf-Domestic.

Turning to Hermione with a soft look, Daemon said. "I've changed some of your memories about what happened. just act as usual, be careful, little one.

Leaving the forest with Winky, Daemon reappeared inside his house.

Hermione, who stayed behind, felt a little sad that he had left so soon
