-Mimsy POV-

Exiting the door, Mimsy prowled around the moderately sized home of Tizzy's master like an expert burglar.

She checked each and every room as she went on her search for any sort of evidence to what her Master may be looking for.

Soon, she searched the majority of the house and found Tizzy's Master sleeping on the sofa in the living room.

Getting a better look, Mimsy could see bruising on the man's knuckles. Most likely from the beating that put Tizzy in the state Mimsy found her in.

Seeing the proof of the person who put her friend in such a condition, that fire burning in Mimsys eyes only grew stronger.

Looking at the man's face, Mimsy found something truly odd.

The man has some sort of blackish-purple makeup around his eyes, which is not a normal fashion trend in the wizarding world, not for men at least.

Moving in further as quietly as possible, Mimsy got a closer look and could see that this wasn't make-up, nor was it some new fashion trend.

It was his real skin.

The skin around Tizzy's Master's eyes was cracking and flaking away, revealing a black and purple wound-like skin underneath.

'Is this what Master wanted to know about?' Mimsy thought as Tizzy's master started to rouse from his sleep.

Not wanting to risk being caught, Mimsy left the room and popped away to her master once she was out of hearing distance.

Hearing what Mimsy found out, Tom now knew which of the candidates for Minister have been corrupted.

"Hortensia Milliphutt, Huh? I didn't expect that..." Tom thought as he put the pieces together.

If Hortensia's personal assistant is turning into a Mindless One, then there's no question that the current Minister of Magic and her people are colluding with Dormammu, whether they know and understand the ramifications or not.

The problem with this now is Hortensia isn't just a random candidate. She's the current Minister.

She has control of the government, which means she controls the Aurors, not to mention the bodyguards she already has.

Tom can only hope that Lord Potter keeps the Aurors away from Hortensia and any of her people.

That way Tom would only have to worry about the many bodyguards and lackeys surrounding her.

"Good work, Mimsy." Tom praises her.

The small elf beamed happily at her master's words, but soon after her face turns much more serious.

"W-what about Tizzy?" Mimsy asked, still worried for her friend.

"Don't worry, we'll help Tizzy, but first I have to do a few things. I can't risk revealing what we know just yet." Tom says reassuringly.

"Okay..."

———————————————————

In Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One has had enough of Thor and Loki.

If they weren't complaining about their stay or trying to escape, they were fighting with one another over the smallest of things.

Now, they're fighting because Loki switched out Thor's food with garbage and put an illusion over it to trick him into eating it.

Luckily, the Ancient One was there and called him out on it before any garbage was consumed.

"Why must you be this way!" Thor yells in annoyance.

"Be quiet already, you big oaf!" Loki counters with his own annoyed look.

It's bad enough that his prank failed, but now he's being lectured by the last person he thought would ever lecture him.

"Really though? Doesn't this sort of thing get boring after so many times?" Thor asked, trying to understand his brother.

"..." Loki decided to just ignore his brother and look out the window.

"Loki..." Thor mutters with anger laced in his voice.

Just as the Ancient One was about to give up and call for Tom, a portal opened beside her and out walked Tom with his trusty elf Mimsy to his left.

Looking around the room, Tom could see his annoyed mother and the two princes who were doing their best not to look at one another.

"Yo!" Tom says with a small wave. "I see you're all having fun, huh?" The sarcasm was clear in his voice.

"Yeah, fun..." Thor says with a scoff as his brother continues to ignore him.

"You owe me for this..." His mother says as she breathes a sigh of relief. "Why are you back so early? Did you get the information we've been waiting for?"

Hearing the Ancient One's question, both princes perked up and looked toward Tom expectantly.

Even Loki, who only tagged along to annoy Tom and find out more about the wizarding world for his plans was ready to do anything but sit around and wait any longer.

"Maybe..." Tom says with a smirk as he turns to his mother. "Can we speak privately?"

"Yes, follow me." The Ancient One agrees and walks out of the room.

"Mimsy, keep watch on these two while we're away, alright?" Tom says and Mimsy gives a sloppy salute.

"Mimsy has it covered, Master!"
