"The Compulsion is more vague, when it’s not a direct order; instead of "you will eat this ice cream', it would simply be a very strong suggestion that makes you crave something cold and tasty. You could completely ignore it, or out-reason it by realizing the ice cream will just go to your hips... also strong emotions can overcome it, albeit only temporarily. This curse was modified for Bondings in order to keep a relationship strong and healthy, but ours was twisted specifically to have Lucius in charge, as I had proven to be a potential embarrassment to the Malfoys because of my inclinations."
