As Alecto opened the door, she remembered the words, or rather the directions she was given before:
"Two filthy muggles decide to breed, and what happens? A dirty child comes out, and they stink of magic. How does that happen? We've always wondered, but now we want to know the answer. More importantly, we have ways to find the answer. And you my dear sweet girl are just the one we want to be in charge of this pet project. Your hands aren't too full are they?"
Figuring out how mudbloods got their magic was going to take some doing. This wasn't like running through a list of names and pairing up potential people and telling them to have babies or else. It was almost the opposite of what she'd been working on for the last couple of years or so, instead of making good strong magical lines, she was going to be dissecting the bad ones, and purging the race of it's filth. She was honored, and humbled by the request to have her oversee this new operation, but she was terrified. Terrified that she wouldn't know how to do it, terrified of what she might find out as the answer.
The door pushed open and Alecto entered the large lab where she had more assistants then she knew what to do with. There weren't many subjects, this was still early in the project of course. But they were all alive (so far), and thus capable of being stretched to the utmost limits. She'd started with what she knew best, testing them to see in what ways they were different from pureblooded wizards. From personality, down to how much they ate and drank,it was all recorded. Some were forced to drink potions, seeing what effects might make them different, or what might be the same.
Now it was time for phase two.
She went over to a small girl, no more then 14 years of age, who was shivering and obviously cold and took her by the hand, "Come with me, there's someone I want you to meet.." Alecto coo'd at the girl, and though she was hesitant at first, the girl took her hand and Alecto lead them back towards a small room on the other side of the lab. Inside was another boy, around the same age. However he was a muggle. Letting the girl's hand go, she smiled at both of them. "I'm sure you're both old enough to know what sex is right? And if you don't, well I'm sure I can find someone in here who will teach you," she began with a smirk, "We're watching you. There will be no food, no water, no anything until you've had sex together at least three times. Then you'll be done for the day and put back in your cells. If there's any disruption here, then I'll see to your punishment myself. All magic is null and void here," looking plainly at the girl while she spoke that last sentence.
The two looked bewildered and lost, but Alecto just smiled and backed out of the door, locking them in. She was recording and keeping track of everything that went on in that room through a special magical object that was sitting in her office. Later she'd check on it, but first for now.
"I want two of them killed. I don't care which two. We need to get inside their brains. And then, I need parents. The parents and the mudblood.. find me a family. Take them all. But don't kill them.." she was going to get to the bottom of this if it was the last thing she did. But for now she had other matches to make, other boys and girls to make breed, parents to slaughter.
And then come home in time to have dinner with her dear brother. It was in the middle of those thoughts (and yes, they were decidedly wicked thoughts, which was why she kept them as such) when she was summoned to see her Lord once more. He had one more task for her apparently.
Dinner would have to wait.
