Heine's hand rests on the doorknob. Back turned to the other two, he feels the hair on the back of his neck stand up. An attempt to turn the knob is futile, though he'd known that already.
"I don't have anything to say to you," he says, still facing the door. Heine doesn't turn around, waiting for either Eichel to speak or for Jade to release the charm, and he doesn't see Eichel lift his wand.
"Imperius."
Heine feels it hit him, but it's too late. As soon as it does, the sensation spreads through his back and up through the base of his skull, into his mind. It sweeps everything out in its wake.
His hand stays on the doorknob, but most of his muscles go lax and he sighs, leaning his forehead against the door. What was he doing, just now? Talking to Eichel and Jade, right, because he'd seen them kissing in the hallway. And it's wrong. He knows that. But what was he going to do about it?
Eichel beckons for Jade's attention. "It's easy, you see. Particularly with someone like him. Go on—" He gestures for Jade to go forward and investigate.
