That Veela allure: as I remember, Hermione wasn't affected by the Veela at the World Cup. The assumption is that she wasn't affected because she was heterosexual (despite her poor taste in men,) and therefore the allure sort of ... missed her.

That means that Hermione IS NOT GAY, by canon, in fact she is 100% heterosexual, completely uninterested in women, and all the Harry!Harem stories that include Hermione/Padma are WRONG and must be deleted from the Library.

Nah ah: Hermione's GAY - Padma, too - and they both secksed Harry on the regular in those missing 19 years.

Infact, that 'HP' tattoo he has on his shoulder doesn't stand for "Harry Potter"...

@Taure: If you say so - you are the canon lexicon afterall. I suppose fanon has influenced my memory of true events.

 

Dont worry Banner we still have HP/NM/BL, and much more so were good some hermione Padma isn't that much of a loss. Lets see you Debate LL/PP/HP Muahahahahaha

 

@Taure

That could also show why Harry wasn't affected by Fleur. She didn't do a sexy dance.

 

But what about most other males in the school who were bumbling idiots around her when she wasn't Lap-dancing?

 

I'm going to have to agree with Blaise about the number of Veela being the reason why Harry almost killed himself. It is a bit like the dragon being hit with stunners. If you hit a dragon with one stunner he will bite you in half. If you hit a dragon with a shit load of stunners he'll be out like a light.

PS Banner for all we know the Veela aura might not effect women at all no matter there sexuality.

 

Phhhhft... you are taking the God defense?! Face it, she is 1/4 Veela. If she didn't transform after a crucio or thinking her sister drowned or something, then she doesn't have it.

 

We could probably just, y'know, find a way to ask JKR. She's been known to backpedal on other random shit (I'm still pissed about the flaming locked room in the DoM explanation). At this point, it's probably the last detail from canon that I'd want answered:

Dear JKR,

How do Veela work (In 500 to 1000 words)

Sincerely,
Random DLP Members

(PS - The Epilogue sucked, never write again,you have saggy tits, random insults, blah blah blah, und so weiter)

EDIT: @Grub: WTF would transforming during the 2nd task do? She was gonna throw feathers and fire at the water? I'm pretty sure the transforming is (1) controlled and (2) precipitating the desire to attack. As for the Crucio, I explained that one earlier - transforming may prevent her use of magic. Fireballs are nothing to someone with a wand.

 

Wut? Nuuu! Not the porn!

Counterargument time!

You're looking at it from the wrong direction. The Veela mojo specifically targets males, not those whose sexuality points towards females. Otherwise the World Cup would've rather harshly booted any gay wizards in the crowd out of the closet.

Besides, it's a known fact that any teenage females who share a room for an extended period of time will engage in sexual experimentation with each other.

 

Banner, hun, today I spent a half-hour F5ing a thread on /tg/ where a writefag described, with incredible detail, a guy giving a handjob to a half-woman, half-insect. If you think you mentioning a sticky Ginny is gonna turn me off my porn, you're waaaaaay short of target.

 

... why did you do t- ...
No, don't tell me. I'm going back to the issue.
What was the issue?

Oh, yes. Hermione is straight, and you can't have femmeslash that includes her.

 

Yes, we can! Your evidence means nothing. She could have went gay later. Before that though...

 

Nobody's straight, dear. Everyone is, to a greater or lesser extent, bisexual. If given enough of a reason, Hermione would engage in the horizontal tango with Padma. And 'enough of a reason' includes such scenarios as being bored, or it's Tuesday, or Ron's a jerk.

 

In that case, I want my H/D.

 

Look, if you must ship slash, at least ship it with a decent male character. Such as, Iunno, Cedric? Not that pasty spoiled brat. We don't ship Eloise/Ginny, you don't ship Harry/Draco. That simple.

 

Banner I reject your reality and substitute my own, And how come you women can have slash But the second we want a bit of fem-slash, Nooooo being gay is wrooong. Bah, women are selfish.

 

A Leprechan/Veela cross (such as happened the night of the World Cup) would produce those annoying clouds of biting bugs. We call them midges where I come from. They hang around wet ground and swarm at sunset.

Cedric is rather yummy. So ... pretty.
