Flowerpot

Prompt: 155

Harry Potter/SCP cross-over AU. Harry never meets Fleur in 4th year, she never went to Beauxbatons. After the war, Harry is an Auror that gets assigned to a ICW Specialist Team when Wizarding Folk start disappearing. They learn that certain "dark creatures" are being captured by some sort of muggle government agency. Harry breaks into an SCP compound and finds SCP-166 (Fleur Delacour), who has been kept in captivity since she was a young child. [SCP-166 reference link: http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-166]. You can either lean hard into SCP, if you like it, or can divorce SCP entirely and just go for Fleur has been kept by some muggle shadow-governmental agency and studied all her life. Perhaps her Veela allure is particularly strong or unfettered because she never learned to control it. Or muggles have no defense to the allure and magical folk have some level of resistance granted due to their magical ability. Regardless, Harry breaks her out and forms a connection with the scared woman. Even after the mission he can't help but remember the enigmatic Veela, he decides to help her reunite with her family and acclimate to wizarding society. Also, thanks to @DukeDaveofAthenai (RudeSoftPunk) for his ideas which birthed the following: Veela have a god that has been captured by the SCP foundation, which is why they are going extinct (SCP-469): http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-469. Harry and Fleur break-in to rescue SCP-469, only Veela are able to enter the feathers without dying. At the center is a tiny girl, the original Veela, their goddess. She is terrified because she isn't supposed to leave her home in an ancient Bulgarian forest, which is where she was captured
