Another rumor that seemed to persist for reasons she never understood was that they were under the influence of either the Imperius Curse or potions that took their will away. That was just absolutely untrue. She had no idea why that began. Likely it was a result of one of the more squeamish recruits who didn't want to readily admit to torturing and raping those that they might have known before the world changed. Every single person who participated in a revel did so because they wanted to. It was never a question of being forced. The Dark Lord did not demand that they participate. In fact, many of them chose not to. Those events were merely avenues for the devoted followers to let off some steam and get some of the blood lust out of their systems. Once Thorfinn finally put a ring on Hufflepuff Hannah's finger, he had always respectfully bowed out of any such gathering. It was a shame too. Hermione could remember many enjoyable evenings with his cock in her mouth while she had another nameless Death Eater taking her from behind. Marriage made him respectable and boring.
