Private message to Miss Minx
Got something good for you.
It took me a long time to follow the trail on this one, because nearly everyone is in the dark. But there are rumours and talk aplenty, and once I separated the fact from the fiction, a narrative started to emerge.
Lady Lestrange's son, Rigel--there's been rumors about him for years, that he has some kind of unusual powers.
You've heard them, perhaps?
I'd always heard it was a preternatural Imperius of some kind, and that it was the result of Lady Lestrange having drank gallons of unicorn blood whilst she was pregnant.
Anyway, I don't think it's exactly the same as Imperius, but is something similar. Lady Lestrange apparently goes out of her way to keep him quite content and happy because it makes him all the more willing to play "the game" with her. Which is basically her guiding him into manipulating people like puppets. He's only six or seven, so of course it'd all be a game to him, yeah?
I've got it on good authority that she brought that Nesbitt chap in for a meeting with herself and Rigel before he went on the WWN and fingered Black and Malfoy as the ones who killed his family.
Whatever she did to Nesbitt was more than mere Imperius or intimidation. I saw him talking to his mate in the square about what he saw and he was telling the truth. The truth as he knew it, anyway.

But not if he didn't know it in the first place.
