Alecto shook her head, grinning. "Oh no, dear, you will need to come up with something much more exciting and intriguing than that." She paused for a moment and regarded Spencer. "You are a clever girl, I have faith you will come up with something."

For now, she decided to ignore the disgusting bit about Muggles. She didn't want to ruin the mood.

"That's what I thought..."

Picking up the assignment, she acted as if she was reading it closely. However, Alecto was far too distracted to do that. She would review it more closely later but she wanted to let Spencer stew for a while.

When she couldn't wait any longer, Alecto put the parchment down and looked up at Spencer. "Kneel down," she instructed her, "and come here." She pushed her chair away from the desk to allow Spencer to kneel at her feet.
