Alecto once told her that her least attractive trait was her inability to concede the fact that sometimes, just maybe, she might be wrong. Oh, that had been a fun discussion! Hermione still couldn't think back on that night years later when the two shared a bottle or two of wine and complained about how frustrating their respective jobs had become. After ranting about an incident proving the incompetence of the witch Hermione hired as her assistant, Alecto gently offered the suggestion that maybe Hermione had been too hard on the poor girl, too demanding and unreasonable. Still Hermione refused to concede that she was wrong.
