Irresistible Charm
"Look, Phoebe's relatives are about to appear." Ryan had no choice but to change the subject.
And they made fun of the Phoebe.
Sure enough, the jealousy in Kate and Penelope's eyes immediately faded.
And coincidentally, because of the twists and turns of the competition.
It almost turned into a horrifying adult program about Snape researching the headmaster of an outside school.
Dumbledore decided to move on to the next step as soon as possible.
He waved his wand again.
Not far away, the surface of the white clouds that were clearly not naturally formed, which connected to form the race track, turned into water vapor.
One by one, stone platforms standing in the clouds emerged from the mist.
Between them, streaks of orange light appeared, clearly visible against the azure sky.
It forms four winding tracks.
Along the edge of the stone platform floated several winged keys.
At first glance, it looks like countless tiny birds, as bright as jewels, flapping their wings Accio around the stone platform.
Harry glanced at Professor Flitwick instinctively.
His head was held high, and he seemed to have grown an inch taller.
Then, gasps of surprise came from all around.
Harry quickly looked at the stone platform.
As the clouds in the center of the stone platform gradually dissipated.
Next appeared something that looked like a transparent glass dome.
Inside are Veela.
They were stunningly beautiful.
If we compare it to Phoebe.
Phoebe's beauty was just right; although she was otherworldly, one wouldn't doubt that she wasn't real.
But Veela are different.
He had read about it in Magic Book.
But he never imagined it would be so beautiful.
They are so beautiful that they could never be human.
Their skin glowed with a soft, moon-like light;
Their hair fluttered behind their heads even without wind;
Their eyes were like Medusa's petrifying pupils.
It leaves viewers with a blank mind, a loss of control over their bodies, and as if they've been petrified.
The air seemed to have become much fresher and sweeter, and the sun, hanging high in the sky, appeared somewhat inferior to them.
But their beauty is so gentle.
Her expression was strange and alluring, both seductive and alluring, like the moon peeking through the clouds.
Then they started dancing.
As the Veela's dance grew faster and faster, some crazy, unformed thoughts began to swirl in Harry's dizzy mind.
He wanted to do something truly remarkable, and he wanted to do it now.
What if you jumped straight off the court?
It looks good... but is it exciting enough?
"Wake up!" A long sigh came from high above.
But Harry only felt annoyed.
That familiar voice also seemed to have become jarring.
The Veela's dance stopped.
Harry blinked blankly. His body seemed to have just started moving on its own.
Maintain the running posture now.
Beside him, Ilvas pressed down on Krum, his upper body slightly erect, as if welcoming the cheers of a non-existent person.
Only Phoebe looked disdainful, seemingly unchanged from before.
The judges and professors in mid-air seemed unaffected.
This caused Mrs. Weasley, who was watching the show in the Burrow, to put down her wand.
However, the arena was still filled with angry shouts, and the students were strongly demanding that the game continue.
In addition, the Leaky Cauldron was filled with the sounds of angry glasses being smashed.
Because the television screen also shifted away from the Veela in the center of each of those stone platforms.
The blame shifted to the kind-faced Dumbledore.
"They are the special guests of this competition, Veela."
They possess an extraordinary charm.
It can make all beauty-loving creatures lose their minds over it.
But you must understand that beauty is only temporary.
It is not the whole of life.
Now you all realize their power, right?
Next, the Magic Array on all the stone platforms will begin to operate.
They will dance again.
Quiet, don't be happy. Their charm will be limited under the influence of the Magic Array.
At that time, only the fire dragon's eyes, which can see through magic, will remain unaffected.
On stage, Kate seemed a little confused.
"Why is it a restriction instead of a transformation? And why is Harry Potter affected?"
I mean, after all the enhancements you've given him, kid, he can be considered the most perfect work yet.
How come just a bunch of Veela— "
"A group? This is different from the Quidditch World Cup."
It's just over a hundred.
The Veela here number nearly a thousand.
As for why it's not a conversion.
It's very simple, Durmstrang and his team couldn't do it.
Charm is an abstract concept.
The allure of the Veela is an elusive power born from the combination of superhuman beauty and magic.
As their neighbor.
Durmstrang students have also developed the habit of exercising.
Almost all of them are muscular men.
Even so, there are still students who, after being excessively attracted to Veela, lose their male potency.
This is how the Magic Array we know today was invented.
Its principle is also very simple.
I cannot affect your beauty.
Then let it affect me directly.
Human vision is a reaction to light entering the eye.
This magic shield acts like a funhouse mirror.
To outsiders, Veela's impeccable, otherworldly beauty was thus diminished.
The fire dragon's so-called eyes that can see through magic.
This is also because its eyes see objects in a different way than humans.
It's not because of light, but because of the magical magnetic field that's everywhere in the world.
As for Harry, that's because he was still a child.
Let me give you an example. Imagine you're facing Dementors.
People with painful memories are more prone to stress than the average person.
The same applies to Veela.
There is not much physiological interaction with women.
And they lack a sufficiently profound and unforgettable romantic love between the sexes.
Or perhaps they still yearn for relationships between the sexes.
They will all be influenced by them.
The professors at our school are either abnormally single.
Either they have someone in their heart and are loyal to that person.
Alternatively, they may be women and not have any underlying bisexual tendencies.
Some, more than women, love Care of Magical Creatures. They possess eyes that can see the beauty of all things.
Of course, if you are highly Occlumency or have undergone trials ravaged by the Imperius Curse, you will not be affected by the Veela.
Kate gave a strange look. "So, Harry Potter's Occlumency didn't work?"
No, he mastered it by deceiving himself.
But it's just a competition now, and his subconscious tells him that it's no big deal if he's tempted by beauty.
Moreover, the actions of the students in the stands and Krum and Ilvas around him gave him an excuse to indulge himself.
If it were a real battle, he wouldn't even be distracted by this. Ryan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Meanwhile, Dumbledore had already sat down.
Arthur Weasley stood up again. "Our Champion are in position."
As soon as I whistle, the Second Task begins.
They have a full hour to overcome all the obstacles, return to the arena, and reunite with the hostages on the stone platform.
I counted to three.
One two three!"
So I don't understand why the protagonist of the Harry Potter novels would dislike Veela.
Even disregarding my own interpretation, Veela in the original setting is equivalent to a great beauty with a level 10 beauty filter.
It's a kind of beauty that you can't see in real life or online.
