HP: I Have "Pure" Magic

Chapter 83: Should I? (Read the next Chapter first)

....

A.N.: Rejoice! For I have started writing chapter titles.

->READ NEXT CHAPTER FIRST. I messed up the order since I wrote the wrong number on the draft. First read chapter 80, which is next chapter, then read this.

****

So... the one who's pals with Esme is must be Gabrielle. And the one who's learning dueling from the champion Durant, is Fleur, the future tri-wizard tournament champion.

I would have realized this right at the time when Camille first mentioned it if this was just a story that I was reading while sitting at home, but this is real life, there are hundreds of families in France. And I was more concerned about removing my death flag by removing Durant's suspicions rather than wondering who our guests might be.

"Honey, three people are coming. They're all veelas. Monsieur Delacour can't come because he's out on business. You have to behave well and try to be under control, ok? If you get affected by their allure, then I'll snap you out of it. ."

"Uh... Okay, mom." I just nodded.

'So, I'm gonna meet with the Delacours, huh?' The current Delacour family, is actually a matriarchal family. The head of the family is Appoline Delacour. She married a man named Sebastian, whom she met at Beauxbatons and he also took the delacour surname. The family owns various businesses and land in France.

At this point there aren't many canon characters left that I haven't already met yet. I mean, the number used to be quite low before I went to Hogwarts. For a lot of years, it stayed on a number that was countable on my ten fingers. In those days, I used to keep tabs on such useless things.

I stopped pondering over life and went over to Esme, who was standing in front of the fireplace, eagerly waiting for her friend. I'll just play with her cheeks.

Nyxie was in resting Esme's arms, but upon seeing me, she flew over and land on her lair, my shoulder.

As I messed around with Esme, the fireplace blazed to life, and a beautiful woman with white-gold hair that reached her shoulders, The woman seemed to emanate an aura which drew people to her. That must be Fleur's mother, Appoline. She was carrying a cute little girl in silvery-blond pigtails in her arms.

The girl quickly found Esme and waved cheerfully.

"Esme!"

The girl leaped out of her mother's embrace as she ran to her friend. Appoline smiled helplessly at seeing her daughter behaving like this as she herself gracefully walked over to my parents and did la bise (touching cheeks twice) with my parents.

Esme who's usually a quiet girl, also smiled at her friend as she left my embrace and went to her friend. How cruel.

Knowing that I don't know anyone coming out of the fireplace, I just went to sit at a chair in the corner of the room.

The little girl, who was Gabrielle, hugged Esme. Esme just patted Gabrielle's shoulder but she seemed very pleased.

When Gabrielle and Esme were having their reunion, the fireplace blazed again, And a girl who looked to be about 16 gracefully stepped out of the fireplace. The girl was extremely beautiful. She was tall and willowy with long blonde hair and appeared to emanate a faint, silvery glow. She was wearing what looked like a dueling attire. She went to went over to my parents and greeted them formally.

As I was getting bored, Esme excitedly dragged Gabrielle over to me.

I smiled. What a cute girl. Look at her, proudly showing off her big brother to her friend. But... I became happy too early.

"Gabby look! A Dragon! Her name is Nyxie."

My smile stiffened.

Sigh... It seems that I still have a long way to go.

"And that.. is my big bro-ther." Said Esme as smiled.

Well, I'm still satisfied.

"Hi Gabrielle, I've heard a lot about you from Esme." I said, shaking hands with her.

Gabrielle became very happy, as she heard that her usually shy friend talked about her.

"Really? What did she say?!"

I tried to hold back my laugher as I saw Esme wronged expression. Then a pout formed on her face.

I was going to have more fun but, then Camille called me.

"Chris! Come over. Let me introduce you."

I smiled down at the kids and asked Nyxie to play with them. I think that the three little girls would have a lot of fun together.

As I walked over, "This is our son, Chris Martin. Chris, Appoline and Fleur Delacour." said Camille, introducing us.

I did a formal bow by inclining my head and bending my waist a bit.

"Enchant, Madame Delacour, Mademoiselle Delacour."

While I greeted them, I realized that I had a problem. But I tried to ignore it.

Appoline looked pleasantly surprised as excitedly gripped Camille's hand's. "Oh, Camille! You finally found him? Is he really your son? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?!"

My mom just laughed bitterly. "He came back all by himself just this morning. Gave us quite a surprise."

"...."

Both Fleur and Appoline looked at Camille like she was joking.

"It's true," said Durant seriously.

"...." x2

Well, they couldn't doubt Durant, could they? The man could say wanking increases the magic power and we'd have fountains erupting all over France.

In the end, Esme, Gabrielle and Nyxie went out to play and we went over to sit at the dinning table as Camille animatedly told Fleur and Appoline about what happened today in detail. But she started with the kidnapping, since Fleur didn't know about it. But as they talked, my problem became more and more serious, and, for the first time in my life, I cursed my ability of sensing magic. Damn! The allure is also, after all, a kind of magic.

And I could sense it! It feltHOT. Allure was a kind of magic that even other wizards can feel. So, how much effect would it have on someone who can already feel even the normal magic?

Apparently, enough for me to find a certain part of my body reacting...

Still, small mercy that my mind was completely immune due to my occlumency.

Seeing no other option, I activated the trigger....

And thankfully, the pure magic deemed this energy unsuitable for my body. So the energy was purged from my system.

But, if I had to do this all the time, the pure magic would keep flowing into my body, thus accelerating my growth. And I don't really want that right now. As it happens, I am already the tallest of my year at the school.

So, I went with the least costly approach and only sent pure magic to... a certain part of my body... Allure mainly affects 'that' part of the body. The rest of the body doesn't show such a 'visible reaction'. Compared to the rest of my body. It 'stands out' like a 'sore thumb', only quite bigger. Now, only that part would mature faster rather than my whole body.

As I was 'polishing' my art of innuendo. I heard the sound of melodious laughter and saw the three beauties laughing together on something that my mom had said. And they were all looking at the clueless me.

"You wrote- Miss me!? You are really funny, Monsieur Chris." said Fleur.

Oh, it's about that. I thought they were laughing at my Burj Khalifa that was poking under the table untill recently. No. Since I'm in France, I'd settle with Eiffel Tower.

Anyway, the Eiffel tower tower, which had been standing tall and straight had transitioned to the Leaning tower

"Merci, mademoiselle. You can just call me Chris. I was just checking their reactions to see if I was still wanted or not. Please do listen ahead. My father's reaction is even more outrageous."

Seeing me unaffected by her allure, Fleur's usual haughty expression visibly eased a lot and Appoline smiled at me as well.

I had noticed that they had been a bit reserved after seeing me. Trying not to interact with me. The allure of a veela makes the affected person do silly things just to try and impress them. They didn't want something like that happening.

But seeing me reacting normally at her praise and her smile, the three women smiled in relief and Durant nodded his head in satisfaction.

They must have met a lot of Ron Weasleys making a fool of themselves and a lot women calling them things like, $!ut, wh0, etc.

That's the reason they have to call themselves half-veela, quarter veela, etc. To not be totally discriminated and get called a species of animal.

They say to the world that pure blooded veela are only born when a veela makes an offspring with a muggle. But the reality is that, being born from the match between wizard and veela also gives them equal veela powers.

Their veela powers don't decrease as successive generations are born through a match between wizard and veela, the only difference is that, they get the ability to do magic from the wizard as well.

Anyway, back to the topic, upon learning that the normally impassive Durant Martin overreacted Fleur and Appoline also became curious to know, "How did Monsieur Martin react?"

"Nothing much, he was just going to mobilize the entire Auror department." Both their eyes widened

"He was what!?"

"Yeah, you heard right. He was going to mobilize the entire Auror forces in case I was still under kidnappers' control. Thus, I had to reveal myself in order to stop him form loosing his position and causing an incident that'd have made France a laughing stock of the wizarding world." I said while sighing.

Camille explained the rest after that as dinner was served by the house elves.

In between, my parents even asked me questions like, "How did you get here form England?"which they couldn't ask earlier because I had started playing with Esme at that time.

After dinner, it was time for dueling. Camille ordered the house elves to bring in the dueling mat right here in the dinning hall. There was enough space.

As Durant and Fleur had some easy going duels for warm up, all of which Durant won easily, Fleur suddenly asked mewho was laughing at her latest fall"Would you like to try dueling with me, Monsieur Chris?"

"...."

I raised an eyebrow and thought for a bit. Should I?
