The dark mark part 125

"I want you back by eleven." Said Mr Weasley. "The tents should open to Ron and Ginny's wands."

"Thanks Dad." Said Ginny.

After the hour or so it took to get out of the Stadium and into the tent city, the Guild met up in the Lovegood tent.

"Where's your father?" Asked Emma.

"With the press, now that the match is over he will be doing a post-match analysis." Answered Luna.

They were still waiting at the tent for Vicky, Natalie and Geoffrey to arrive. About ten minutes later, they did and everyone went inside.

Vicky was looking particularly smug for some reason, Geoffrey looked a little flustered and Natalie for her part just looked amused.

"We need to be back by half ten?" Said Natalie. "You?"

"Eleven." Replied Emma.

All of a sudden, they heard a dozen or so musical instruments start playing and the sounds of hundreds of probably drunk Ireland supports began singing off key in Gaelic.

"Well that's some music." Commented Demelza.

"Anything's better than those Veela." Countered Geoffrey.

"They got to you too?" Said Ron sympathetically.

"Yeah Vicky and I had to stop him from climbing over the railing and dropping forty feet to the ground." Said Natalie. "Though it wasn't me he ended up clinging to out of fear for his safety."

Geoffrey glared at his best friend. "We've been going out for 6 months, I am allowed to hug my girlfriend. Anyway, it kept me from doing anything stupid."

"We went through the same horror." Said Colin, though he had a rather stupid grin on his face.

"You guys got up too?" Asked Geoffrey, feeling less embarrassed.

"Everyone except Harry." Said Ginny.

"But I was tempted." Remarked Harry modestly. "Thank Dumbledore for Occlumancy."

"You mean that's all that kept you back?" Said Ron.

"Yeah, it was actually quite easy to control myself once I got my mind under control. But like I say, tempted."

"Neville also was tempted, but I kept him close. He seemed to hold onto most of his senses." Said Luna.

"Geoffrey too." Said Vicky. "How did we manage that."

"The Veela effect is basically seduction." Said Harry. "But if you have someone whom is more important than… certain things… they can keep you from becoming… distracted. You four have been in meaningful relationships for months now, so I would have been surprised if you couldn't hold the effect at bay just by touching."

"How many creatures have you read up on?" Asked Demelza.

"Well I prefer to think of Veela as just another kind of witch or wizard." Said Harry. "But there have been cases in the past where people have duelled against them and lost control of their senses. But as I say, it takes only basic Occlumancy to overcome it."
