Hmmm, interesting. From there comes what? Harry and Fleur being corrupted to Volemort's side? Or perhaps developing a hatred and forming their own dark alliance.

An act like that could bring in a veela war as well. Honestly, I've never read to much about the actual race of Veela involved. Theres probably a fair few of them (Bulgaria had a load at the world cup) and maybe the capture of Fleur could drive the Veela race to going on a killing spree.

They're certainly very easily pissed off.

 

A legion of hot, deadly, fire-throwing women...

The DE's wouldn't stand a chance.

And I was thinking about either the Peregrine Falcon or the Wedge-Tailed Eagle as Harry's animagus forms. Both are very good. The Peregrine eagle is fast as hell when diving, is small, accurate and etc.

Question is, would the Veela follow/ take cues from a half-blood Veela or would they still stay out of it/ perhaps joining Voldemort in return for dominion over a certain area/ nation.

Honestly, I could imagine the Veela as Valkyrie's. Avenging angels, as it were. Beautiful and deadly.

For some reason...it fits.

Then again, you would have a host of OC's. Army commander's, champions, etc etc. Very difficult.

You gotta admit, facing off against a few hundred of those would be daunting.

It's concept art, easily tweakable.

As to Harry and Fleur having a dark alliance...it's possible, but I doubt it'd fit. I realise it's the author's choice but ostensibly, I doubt Harry or Fleur could go dark. Going dark essentially means having less respect for life. Their relationship is based on life, both sacrificed and freely given in the blood healing.

*Ponders*

Veela on a killing spree? Quite an interesting idea. Veela have few practical defences beyond the charm and fire-ballin. But they could certainly do a fir bit of damage. If either side could harness them...airbornne military. With extremely hot fire, air capability...it'd be similiar to using aircraft in Dark Ages times. Relatively speaking.

And you'd have to wonder about Veela vision. Would they have infared capability due to their close relationship with heats of all kinds? Sexual and elemental?

But I could certainly see Harry and Fleur escaping Voldemort with Gabrielle in-tact, thus putting the trio at odd's with Fleur's parents.

If you want to use this idea, just PM me with a request

 

Yes I remember another fic in which Harry had a peregrine animagus. An Azkaban one I think.

Do you think the Veelas would really join Voldemort. I guess we haven't erally had much of an insight into them in canon, but there isn't any word of an uprising, perhaps they were satisfied with what the normal wizarding worl gave them?

Or not.

Then again, we're not even sure if Veela are all that powerful. Despite being hot, fire-ball hurling and flying PMS-ers (I'm sorry feminists but it seems to fit), do you think they really have that much magical talent.

Though I would like to see a Veela charm Voldemort...

As for the whole plot idea I think it could work. Harry and Fleur escape with Gabrielle, and they go off into hiding to train maybe? Perhaps the power of the Veela could be the power he knows not?

And an epic battle would ensue between Fleur, Gabrielle and their parents.

 

There's no way a Veela could charm Voldemort. Succumbing to the Veela's charm would be an insult to his willpower/mind magic. Even if a Veela did manage to enthrall him, it would last for about 5 seconds, maybe, before he snapped out of it and killed said Veela for even trying to pull some shit like that.

I don't think Veela are all that powerful; their enthralling and fireball powers are just another aspect of what they are. A witch who can whip up love effective love potions and cast a flame spell would be in the same league - case in point: Voldemort's fugly mom ftw.

 

Most likely true. But if we follow Aerin's idea and follow canon, we have good ol' Voldemort with Veela blood. That could mean sex appeal.

And Voldemort's mum is no way in the same league as Veela, Fleur specifically. Fleur is a babe. Thus she ranks most highly.

 

Less talking, more linking lol

 

I need...MOAR. The stories i have read with the most promise of Harry/Fleur seems to be Jbern's "The Lie I've Lived", and that one "Sixth Year: The step towards the end".

 

Go bitch-slap Methene for his Harry/ Fleur fic.

Stingy bastard is holding out on us!

On that note...A Roy Mustang-raised Harry Potter meeting a miniskirt-wearing Fleur Delacour...

Eep!

 

*shudders* I really don't want to imagine an enthralled, sappy, lovesick Voldemort any-damned-ways. I can't remember where in the hell I remember this from, pretty sure it's fannon, Veelas, Werewolves, and Vampires pretty much each cancel the others out. All of them are the others only known natural predators, so on and so forth. Or somesuch..........

 

I don't think that a werewolf would accept any form of enthralling from a veela. Pack mentality and all that, but a humanoid form one might be enthrallable, but the second he went werewolf she'd be boned. You ever watch underworld? You see when the werewolf hybrid takes down the vampire one? Yhat's what it'd be like.

 

Werewolves and Lycans are fundamentally different in the two different worlds. Lycans are able to control themselves to a certain point, and without the potion, JKR's creations can't control themselves at all. Not to mention the difference between running on two legs and four.

 

Werewolves in the HP universe seem to be mindless beasts. Still, they are useful from time to time. The concept of werewolf minds being stronger than a Wizard's mind stems from fanon. In fact, I consider them to be more vulnerable to mental influences, due to their simpler, animal minds. Actually, I see them as being led around by their emotions and urges, thus falling easier to a Veela's charm. Much like Ron Weasley.

Sure a Veela can enthral a Werewolf. The question is why would she want to? The answer is below. Enjoy the subtle implications.

"FOOD! WOMAN! WARM CAVE!" nodded the werewolf upon seeing the Olympian figure of Fleur in front of him. The light seemed to shine from her, lending her a celestial quality.

"I need you to do something for me Fenrir," purred Fleur, licking her lips seductively, while moving closer. Fenrir, on all flours, crumbs falling from his unkempt beard started grinding his hands in anticipation as if they were paws. Suddenly the warmth and beauty of the witch in front of him seemed to intensify a thousandfold, giving him an ecstatic, near sexual pleasure. She was so beautiful and warm, why wouldn't you want to please her?

"I need you to kill Ginny Weasley, Fenrir," said Fleur, touching him on his soiled shoulder. Fleur despised dealing with such filth, but she hid it under a charming smile. He was a means to an end, after all. "It would please me greatly," finished Fleur as she smiled secretly.
"Kill Weasley," howled Fenrir, running out of the cave he was hiding in from the Aurors.

 

Meh. That'd work on anyone if Fleur had enough skin showing.

I agree with Methene. I don't see how werewolves have mental defences. When you think about it, inside their head are two completely different beings (unless you're Fenrir but nobody likes technicalities). I think that screws around with the mind enough to leave it weak.

Werewolves act on primal instinct. They would easily be susceptible to Veela charm. Vampires however wouldn't be. Cause they're dead. Being dead and walking pwns.

 

Be kind of like using Legimens on an animal. A jumble of thoughts and instincts. That could be a type of shield, I suppose. Nice snippet, BTW, Methene

 

I expect a Werewolves mind would be easy to get into but hard to read and understand. Wolves work on Instinct and a lot of their memory is related to scents. So unless you can understand the scent that comes with the memory you'll only really get half the information. You also have to take into account that it's two minds in one. It could probably be one of two ways when at the Full Moon. Either the Human Half will be easy to get into because the Wolf's beaten it into submission so to speak or it'll be harder as it'll be trying to take control and as such trying to force out invaders.

On that note, What do you think happens when you use Legilemency on someone with Multiple Personalities?

 

As for the lycan/werewolf differences, we can look to fenrir as an intermediary. Obviously he doesn't control the wolf, and we don't really know enough to say he's at harmony with it but he's found some form of balance.Plus, it's fanfiction, people can pretty much do whatever they want to. I still doubt veela enthralling would work, look at wolf packs, how does the alpha male choose his female? Are you saying veela would pee on the ground and the things like that. Hold on i'm checking wiki to see i'm not talking out my ass..

Anyway, the way a male wolf and a female wolf meet is done by scent marking, through urine. First of all, there would be chance of a veela peeing on the same places a male werewolf would be running around. Even if, by coincidence they did the veela would have to have a number of factors occurring in her favor. A, she'd have to be ovulating B, she'd have to have the exactly right number and balances of specific hormones in said urine, and C when the werewolf actually met her, he'd have to by some strange reasoning not rip her to shreds.

Like I said, Veela probably wouldn't be able to enthrall a werewolf in their werewolf form. A human formed werewolf would probably be vulnerable (though not more so, as vary degrees of human willpower are connected to the resistance of veela charm) to Veela charm. True the whole lycan thing would be awesome to see and read about. But that could be a good harry potter plot for the whole "power he knows not thing". Maybe...it'd have to be well thought out.

As for the multiple personality thing, I'm not exactly sure. I'm no psychologist, but isn't it still technically the same mind? We don't know how legimency works so all guess work here but the concious memories of the active 'personality' would play a part in the scan. Maybe it would be like seeing the memory in a penseive.

 

Wow, it's been a while since I've visited here... since the 10th page I think ...
Anyway, some of the story ideas are quite intriguing, and as some have said "Where are the links!?" Either way, it looks like Perspicacity was the only one that did a story, and he wasn't even going to put it in the contest! Which reminds me that I need to finish reading his story , since I only read the up-to 35k words version of it. I'll get to PM'ing him~~

Aerin, that Wedge-Tailed is pretty spiffy looking indeed. Spiffy I say!

 

This is quickly becoming a popular thread. That is good and inspires me to attain eternal glory by writing my own Harry/Fleur story (not Book three). Time however conspires against me, as I have yet to complete a blasted Marketing project.

For your benefit, to stir the waters and create excitement for a new story yet to be launched, I present to you, with great pomp and heraldry, a small snippet of "The 100,000 Sons of Maréchal Potter".

 

Way to go Methene, glad you finally gave us hope.

It is a good thread, one of the ones I check regularly here. Harry/Fleur has such potential though...

On the subject, it may or may not interest you that I have decided o make an attempt at my own story. I will probably be PM'ing a few of you for help and critique before I brave the Work by Author page.

Don't expect much, don't expect it soon, I doubt you care to expect it at all. Just figured I'd let you know I'll be doing what I an for our excellent community

 

That is good news. The more people that pick up the crusade, the more our world will be enriched. Feel free to ask me any question you wish. I am sure all of us will be more than willing to help a fellow Harry/Fleur author.

I live to give hope...
