    If you want to go to the biological aspect, the veela gen probably sticks only to X, (XX - female, XY -male) so that it is hereditary, but it doesn't effect males, maybe just making them look pretty. Yes, there is probably male veela, but they probably don't have anything going for then except maybe resistance against veela attraction. Also, it might work as a disease, hitting only in puberty, explaining why Gabrielle wasn't (seemingly) a veela.

    That's so annoying when people assume that. I speak of there needing to be a reason for Veela having an aura, and of course, that reason MUST be their dastardly ways to lure unsuspecting men to have sex with them.

    I find them having to force men at all to have sex an almost unbelievable prospect.

    Can it not be said that magic, which can be used to enthrall the opposite sex in the same way, could have been invented because Wizards weren't getting any? Thus, they needed a way to force reproduction so they wouldn't be extinct? Sure, magic has infinite more uses than a Veela aura does, but it's essentially the same thing I'm talking about.

    The Veela Aura is just something they can control and is a part of them, as much as their mouthes, legs or arms, and they use it to their advantage as they see fit.

    Nothing more, nothing less.

    Why does everyone assume that the Veela's natural form is that of a human, and the avian form is the alternative?

    It seems to me from the Quidditch World Cup in GoF, in which the Veela are team mascots, the fact that when they loose control they revert to avian form, and the fact that they are the equivalent to the Bulgarian Leprechauns, that it's more likely that Veela are in fact (literally) birds with the ability to mimic a beautiful human shape.

    If this is a case, I'd say that the Delacours are a very unusual phenomenon.

    In addition, it seems to me that the Veelas only really project an "aura" when they are dancing.

    From the lexicon


    • sensual dance, affects Harry, Ron, etc.
    • throw handfuls of fire when angry; face becomes like bird, scaly wings
    • Fleur Delacour is part veela; her wand's core is a hair from the head of her grandmother, a veela.
    It says becomes, as in not like that normally. I just think it's easier to think of a Veela transformation in the same way as a werewolf one.

    I'm not sure, but wasn't there some line in the books about veela being creatures? Ofcourse I might have read it in a fan-fiction...but I think there was some character calling them non-human or something...Percy maybe?

    Back to how people like Fleur to act (aristocratic, arrogant, snooty, bitchy, etc.) I think the best Fleur I have read (in terms of the most appealing) is Jbern's in Turn Me Loose.

    Appealing in what way? 'Aristocratic, arrogant, snooty, bitchy, etc' describes TLIL!lFleur perfectly.

    I'm a fan of 100,000 Son of Marichal Potter, personally. Hint, hint.

    The best Fleur is scary's Fleur in Sixth Year: Steps Towards the End. Best Harry/Fleur I've ever read, and her characterisation is amazing.

    It was rather good - too bad it's supposedly going to end up Harry/Hermione.

    RLY? o_O Hmmm ... try speaking with the author, in this case. I think he's a member here at DLP. If you can get the final pairing out of him and tell us, I'll give you cookies. If you can convince him to make it Harry/Fleur, you get the delicious cake.

    You might also want to read up on the theory of Harry/Fleur a bit, to have good arguments as to why it is the superior pairing. Or maybe simply tell him to put himself in Harry's shoes: say he has the choice between this absolutely gorgeous, hot french chick that can do this thing with her tongue, and the rather plain girl next door who really wants to go to a library ... who's it gonna be?

    But that's just an example, obviously.

    I'm pretty sure the guy you talked to IS the author, so you should get him a ice-cream car.

    I think he is aware of that and was simply making a subtle hint as to the community's desire...

    Well, we already talk about the carrot for making it Harry/Fleur. How about we talk about the stick. :p

    I'm sure we could find someway to run over him with that ice-cream car.

    Is this fucker retarded or does he have some form of Downs Syndrome? It could assist him with his serial killings when he finds out that even Harry Potter can't get his happy ginger ass laid, though.........

    I don't like the kid at all, but you gotta give him credit. I kind of want an ice-cream truck now . . . imagine it . . .

    Forty degree (celcius) day, kids are starving for an ice-cream, they're sweaty, they're hungry, they're desperate . . . then they hear the chiming of that wonderful ice-cream truck.

    Rupert drives past, opens up his window, and watches the crying kids as he eats HIS OWN ice cream in his face.

    You won't be giving shit to him then, when he's eating his ice cream in your face!
