What followed was quite possibly the most embarrassing 45 minutes Narcissa could ever remember spending, with her clothes on anyway. Hermione questioned her on a Pet's rights under the bond; if there were levels of bonding; and several other things, including what acts a wizard or witch could and could not make their pets perform. Narcissa supplied the necessary, yet embarrassing answers. Basically, a wizard or witch could ask their pets anything. However, in most cases, the pet has the option to refuse an act. Narcissa told Hermione that threw were rare, but still acceptable, cases where a Pet so subsumed her will to her master or mistress, that the Pet gave up the right to refuse any request. This situation was very rare, and not something that either side entered into lightly.
