Dear Conspiracies Unlimited,

I think the first time was the veela chicks at the QWC:

"...Harry stopped worrying about them not being human--in fact, he 
stoped worrying about anything at all....the veela had started to 
dance and Harry's mind had gone completely and blissfully blank." 
(GOF, US, chap. 8, p. 103)

You can make what you want of that; I find it a little ominous that 
Veelas can make men feel like they're under the Imperius curse. 
Doesn't bode well for ol' Bill Weasley does it?

Sincerely,
Jen Reese
