Yes, I can not deny that we do have such aspects baked into our very being, but they are far from the main point. A better way to put it would be to say that we are creatures of the mind and magic. Nothing gets both the mind and magic of a person roaring quite like sex and lust so that is where that comes in” She explained, taking note of the way his eyes narrowed at her.
“What does that mean?”
“Pardonnez-moi?” She asked instantly, not sure what he meant.
“I mean, what does it mean to be a creature of the mind and magic. Explain what that does?”
“It means that we can sense magic like we have a sixth sense organ just for it. Usually, it’s attached to a different sense. Some Veela can taste magic, others can feel it against their skin, some of us can even see it.”
“And you can…hear magic?”
“How perceptive oof you, ‘Arry. You don’t mind me calling you ‘Arry, do you? But yes, I can hear magic, and sometimes when the times are right and the factors pull through in my favour, I can even see it.”
“See it as in mage sight?” Now, she was sure that she had his interest. His eyes had not left hers for a second as she explained her people’s gifts to him. Mother would berate her for selling herself like some sort of common whore if she could see her now, but Fleur was beginning to find that she did not particularly care for what others thought. This man could resist her allure even when standing next to her. She could hear his magic, and had been overtaken by emotion and forced to her bed when the first task had ended. She had put it out of mind, almost immediately. But these days any time she closed her eyes, her mind when to the lightning that ‘Arry Potter had conjured in the hopes of smiting a hellhound as dangerous as Cwn Annwn. The fact that he had succeeded on defeating the hellhound in the end had been something else as well.
“Not as detailed as that when it comes to me, but yes some of my people have been born with the ability of natural magical sight on the level of the famed mage sight.”
