Well, I have--been under the influence, that is--and here's the thing: nothing about being in the presence of Fleur and her daughtsrs, or Fleur and her mother, made me do anything I wouldn't have done. It's more like it lowers your inhibitions to not do the rubbish you wouldn't already do if you didn't know better. Like if you're the sort of bloke who'd get handsy with a girl if you could get away with it you might get handsy with a woman with Veela blood in her. So it's not like it doesn't affect you, or me, anyroad, it just didn't make me do anything I wouldn't have done. It's like strong drink in that way.
And that's why the marriage thing makes no sense to me. I mean, I've been in the presence of Fleur with someone I was reasonably attached to and we didn't go rushing to the altar. And that's all they could really say: one person was there and maybe others were, but the effect they're taking about--which I don't know a thing about--only happens with multiple people in one place, supposedly. So they're blaming one person and some people who might or might not have been there, and saying that people must have been there because that's what causes this effect, and then saying from that, you have to register for the public good.
When they haven't even proved anything happened. It's all a Ravenclaw's tower of air, and I'm a Gryffindor, I reckon. I like things I can wrap my hands round.
As far as Fleur goes, no, she doesn't do anything. It's just what she is, attractive, and also gorgeous. The glamour is part of her. I don't blame people for worrying about what they don't understand so much as I blame the writer of the article for inciting fears and proposing a solution that everyone knows perfectly well goes badly. It's not like nobody ever heard about what happened in Britain during the war. We know registration doesn't work and leads to prejudice, segregation, and worse.
I mean, I don't know a lot about Muggles, but I've read all sorts of horrid propaganda about them because that was what was put about when I was a child. How terrible they are, how destructive, and so on. Some of it even might be true! But it was meant to make me scared of Muggles and to accept treating Muggles and people with Muggle family as less than I was. It wasn't right. And this article's not right either.
