Suddenly, a woman's soft voice drifted from the door, "That's right. When I was a teen, my papa had to bring convicts from the muggle prisons and tie them up in the basement so that I could just dump all my allure on them. Of course, they sent back later with no memories of what had happened."
Ren turned to look a gorgeous woman standing in the doorway. She was the definition of the perfect, beautiful woman. She was tall, with long, silver blonde hair and striking blue eyes. She looked like she was in her late twenties.
But what was more important was the not negligible amount of magic Ren could feel coming off from her. He activated Eyes Of Truth, and saw waves of pinkish-red magic emerging from her and floating in the room around them, like a perfume. This was probably Allure.
"This is my wife, Apolline." Mr. Delacour introduced.
Ren gave her friendly smile and introduced himself, "Hello, Mrs. Delacour. I'm Ren Alaric. Please call me Ren." Mrs. Delacour smiled brightly at him, as she swooped down and kissed both his cheeks. She pulled back and studied his face for a moment, then spoke fondly, "I see both you mother and father in you. Just call me Apolline, my boy."
Then she sat down next to Ren and nodded for Mr. Delacour to continue. "Ah, yes. Where were we? Right. We don't want to do with our daughters what Apolline's father did for her. We don't wish to expose our sweet little angels to such cruelty. So when Dumbledore told me you were a monk, I thought that probably you might be able to resist Allure enough that Fleur can direct the excess at you. Dear, if you would please?" He looked at Apolline while saying the last part.
Apolline gave Ren a reassuring smile as she said, "Ren, we're going to do a little test. I will slowly start to direct my Allure at you. A little at first, then I will gradually increase the output. I can gauge your resistance to allure through your reactions."
Ren nodded, and Apolline began. Ren still had Eyes Of Truth activated, and he saw as Apolline gather all the Allure she spreading around into her body. Then, a tiny stream of the pinkish-red energy came out of her and directly hit Ren.
He felt no sensation apart from a tiny, insignificant presence entering his heart sea. He focused inward and sensed some pink-red mist entering his heart sea. But it seemed to dissolve into the wind and vanish. He said, "I feel absolutely nothing, Apolline. Increase the output."
Apolline raised her eyebrows, but seeing the unaffected look on Ren's face, she complied. The stream of Allure coming from Apolline to Ren doubled in power. But the pink-red mist entering Ren's heart sea barely increased. It was just as insignificant as before. It was about the same as the amount of smoke that comes from a snuffed-out candle.
Ren shook his head head, conveying to Apolline that the Allure still wasn't affecting him. "Go ahead." he said. Apolline nodded, then an even larger amount of Allure surged out of her into Ren. She said, "I'm currently using about a fourth of my power, Ren. This is about the power Fleur will need to let out when her transformation approaches the peak in about a few days."
"I can handle it just fine." said Ren, showing no signs of being affected. In fact, he wasn't even being affected. The power of Apolline's Allure was dispersing as soon as it entered Ren's heart sea.
In the side, Mr. Delacour smiled with relief, happy that his daughter could now safely release her excess Allure. Dumbledore too had a satisfied expression of his face.
Apolline, though, looked a little miffed. She asked, "Can I use more of my Allure? Just to test the limits?"
It was clear that she was a little annoyed at the fact that her Allure was not working on Ren. Allure was, after all, the pride of Veelas. Thus the friendly challenge.
Mr. Delacour opened his mouth to speak, clearly about to stop her, but Dumbledore intervened with an amused look in his eyes. "That's fine, Apolline. I don't think Ren minds."
Ren shrugged, saying, "I don't mind. Just… use your full power. I am really hungry, and I want to eat as soon as possible."
And a few seconds later, he was taking on the full power of an adult Veela's Allure.
He didn't feel a thing.
