Harry Potter Breaking Free

Chapter 38: Harry’s Resistance



Harry saw it coming long before he actually felt its effect on his body. He was being immersed in a red, translucent and somewhat foggy, flow of allure that circled quickly through his body and then back towards Appoline. Immediately after the flow returned to Appoline, Harry could feel how he'd normally be drawn to her, and objectively speaking, he could even feel his attraction towards her sharpen. Thankfully, the buffer of magic Harry had erected earlier was holding up well and the effects were a far cry from Amortentia. Soon enough, Harry had dropped all of his magical defenses and was still capable of controlling his attraction. With a relieved smile, Harry gestured for Appoline to continue. "I've actually felt a little more power than this from Fleur, for brief moments, off and on, all afternoon. I'm confident that I can handle this much."

When a surprised expression entered Appoline's face, Harry realized that until now, she hadn't known her daughter was losing that much control.

"It's the main reason why I asked if I was bothering your daughters," Harry pointed out slowly.

After shaking her head at 'Arry's concern, Appoline smiled a wide smile. 'Arry Potter seemed to be shaking out the cobwebs in their lives by virtue of his very existence. "Arry... My daughter's loss of control will not even matter eef my suspicions are correct. I'm about to dial up ze eentensity of my allure. Eef you can 'andle eet zan zere ees nozzing for Fleur to worry about."

After swallowing his anxiety, Harry nodded his understanding and readiness. Then, he had to force himself not to dive out of the way, as a tidal wave of super thick allure came exploding out of Appoline's body. After flying out of her in every direction, the allure converged together into a meter wide stream that bulldozed Harry's magic right out of its path in less than a second.

The allure was dense, it was a deep red and it was strong! Strongly compelling Harry to love this woman, who looked so good, smelled so good, was so nice and was bathing him in an allure! After violently shaking out his head, Harry pushed for his own magic to commingle with Appoline's allure, diffusing it somewhat and reducing its effectiveness. He shook his head again, throwing off the worst of the lust he was feeling, and then he smiled over at Appoline's expectant looking face. "Well... Shucks... For a moment there, I was well on my way to falling in love with you. Then I was able to recognize the process for what it was, and I managed to shake off the worst of it. I've started diffusing your allure by injecting my own magic into the area and... diluting it. Right now it's a little difficult to keep my cool, but I've regained my sense of self. I do feel a blush coming on though..."

At the tail end of Harry's explanation, Appoline began peeling out in happy laughter and was finding it extremely difficult to stop. When she did manage to calm down again, she was just a little pink and she looked thrilled beyond measure. "'Arry! I know exactly 'ow you can pay me back for ze magic training! You just became Gabrielle's babysitter!"

"Huh," Harry eloquently replied.

Appoline wasn't surprised by the confusion on 'Arry's face, but his reaction was funny and she couldn't contain her amusement. "Eet's like zis 'Arry. As we speak, Gabrielle ees beginning to grow eento er Veela 'eritage and ees teething magically. She needs to spend time using er allure. Moreover, she needs to spend time using eet on a man. Een Fleur's case, zis meant quite a few unfortunate Muggle men were contracted een through a temp agency. Once a month, a well paid male worker would spend a few hours secured comfortably to a chair and lost een a fog of allure. Zen, at ze end of ze day, zey would be dropped off at 'ome none ze wiser. Gabrielle as not ad to take part een any of zat unpleasantness yet, but ze day ees fast approaching. Did you not feel Gabrielle 'itting you as 'ard as she could wiz er allure all afternoon?"

Harry canted his head to the side as he thought back to the nearly transparent, pink clouds that had drifted off of the little girl. Then he arched his eyebrows in surprise. "Honestly, Appoline... I had no idea that's what was happening."

"Gabrielle was taking advantage of your presence to get eet all out of er system," Appoline explained with a laugh. "Seence you are resistant to allure, you were capable of rational thought, and she ad a marvelous time. She as become fond of you because she ees both genetically and magically designed to allure charm men. With you, she does not 'ave to experience ze ugliness of reducing a person to obsession and uncontrolled lust. With your 'elp she can get through puberty wizout all zat unpleasantness."
