I'm so sorry it took me so long to write this part. I struggled with this chapter, writing a chapter while a character is under the Imperius curse is really difficult but thanks to help from hbcjdtb on intagram (if you love Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp or Tim Burton you really should follow them) I managed to figure out roughly what to do. I'll try to keep updates close together in the future, however I don't make any promises.

AS ALWAYS I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING.

WARNING: SLIGHT TORTURE. DO NOT READ IF YOU FEAR ANY SORT OF CHOKING.


Her voice echoed through the halls of Grimmauld Place.

"Imperio!"

Sirius' body stiffened slightly as he inhaled deeply and the curse took over his body, possessing each part of him one-by-one. He could feel his left hand raise and lightly grasp his fork, while his right hand already had hold of his knife.

"I'll teach you how elegant Black's eat a meal, Cousin."

His fork was lightly placed into the slice of chicken on his plate, to keep it from moving, while his right hand rose to cut the slice into bite-sized squares.

"First you cut everything to fit inside your loud trap," she growled the instructions across the table, but it felt like she was whispering it directly into his ear. "Then you collect the food on the end of your fork and slowly raise it to your mouth."

She did the opposite of what her instructions were, and vigorously jammed the fork into his mouth, which had opened involuntarily, cutting part of his gum. She barely allowed him to chew the food before she'd started piling more and more in. He could taste it all; the dry chicken slice, the wet mashed potatoes, the gravy… blood.

"I think you've got the idea now." Bella chuckled. He barely heard her chant 'finite' and as the curse ended he made the mistake of inhaling.

As part of the chewed food slid down his windpipe Sirius began to cough. The food, mixed with blood, that had been piled into his mouth spilled out with each cough and he could hear Bellatrix tutting.

"Tsk tsk Sirius. Look at the mess you've made." She sounded disappointed and caring but she had that smile on her face again. "Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson… Imperio."

He stopped coughing. Bella definitely had more control than him. His throat ached but he barely had time to breathe before she started piling the food he'd just spat out into his mouth again. This time she allowed him to chew and swallow it completely, before shovelling the next forkful in.

The taste was… well he didn't want to think about the dreadful taste of previously chewed food, blood and mucus. Eventually his plate was empty and the curse ended for good. Sirius slumped in his chair and coughed slightly. His throat burned but he was relieved it was over.

"Kreature!" Bella called out.

"Yes, Mistress Bellatrix?"

"Clean up this mess." And with that, Bella rose from her seat, picked up her wand and The Daily Prophet and left the dining room.


I know its short with not much description but like I said, it was extremely difficult writing a chapter while a character is under the Imperius Curse. Hopefuly I've done relatively well and I'd like to thank hbcjdtb again for helping me with this. If there's anything you'd like to see happen please leave a review and I'll see if I can fit it in. I'll work on Chapter 4 as soon as I can.
