Imperio

Info - imperio curse, trying to murder family, mention of death and fear

There was a pathetic quivering pile of robes in front of me. That's all I saw the human as, something to hold robes up. If they're weren't following our purpose they weren't worth even the magic I'd waste killing them.

"Y/n, this isn't you," said the thing. However, for one moment my vision seemed to clear. I no longer saw in red and grey.

It was him, the boy I'd had a crush on for all my 7 years at school. No, not just a boy. We were friends, prefects together, he was Regulus. My Regulus was cowering before me. He held his wand but wasn't raising it. He-he knew this wasn't me.

The spell faded. I looked around. Dead bodies and cowering wizards and muggles surrounded me. I looked down at Regulus. He was the only one who didn't look terrified.

"You're back," he gasped. He stood up and hugged me to him.

"Wh-what happened?" I asked through tears.

"I think it was your father. Grindelwald has been using you to kill thousands," Regulus said shakily.

"My father!" I snarled. I broke off the hug. I summoned my father with the family ring he'd given me. I didn't know how I knew that would work. Something in my subconscious told me it would work. It did work, because my father appeared before me.

"Gelert!" I snapped.

"Darling, please, call me father," he purred, obviously trying to pretend he'd done nothing wrong.

"You Imperioed me? You made me kill innocent people," I screamed.

"You needed some convincing, I wanted my daughter to follow in my footsteps," he said earnestly.

"You are DEAD to me, in fact I wish you WERE dead," I shrieked. I began to swish my wand. Light met, spells flew against one another. That's when I knew what I had to do. He wouldn't kill me, he just wouldn't go that far. I started throwing out the killing curse. Gelert looked horrified.

"Get out! You fucking piece of dung," I screamed. I shot an Avada Kadavra that only just missed as he spun away and disapperated.

The wizards and muggles around us started to get up if they were alive. They were surrounding me apologising and offering help.

"I know everyone wants your attention right now," I heard Regulus whisper in my ear. "But would you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes," I said back with a smile.
