HSKS4 Assignment

The headmistress set an assignment for the school to do a little research on Fleur Delacour. I've spent a few days in the hospital wing while Madame Pomfrey tries to remedy a rather ugly migraine and I'm still there. She won't let me do too much school work, but I'll write down what I do know about her.

Fleur Isabelle (Delacour) Weasley is part Veela, her mother was half Veela. Consequently she has no trouble attracting male attention with her silvery-blond hair and hidden charm. Her wand even has a Veela hair core, Mr. Ollivander finds this particular material to be an unreliable one however Fleur wand works beautifully for her due to her Veela heritage.

She attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France under headmistress Madame Olympe Maxime. She submitted her name to the Goblet of Fire and was chosen as the Beauxbatons champion for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Fleur had limited success in the tournament, although this was partly due to a bit of sabotage by Mad-Eye Moody/Barty Crouch Jr.

During the second task of the tournament in which she had to rescue her sister from the Black Lake she employed the Bubblehead Charm but was unable to retrieve her sister. (I remember reading somewhere, maybe J.K. Rowling's site, that Fleur's use of the Bubblehead Charm was a little jab at her character) Roger Davies was her escort to the Yule Ball that was held for the tournament.

Fleur decided to take a part time job at Gringotts Bank to help improve her English. Bill Weasley was working as a curse breaker for Gringotts at the time. Bill and Fleur started dating somewhere around this time, much to the dismay of the Weasley women. Fleur stands by Bill even after he is attacked by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. This earns her the respect of Mrs. Weasley. She got married to Bill at The Burrow a short while after Albus Dumbledores death. They made their home at Shell Cottage where they help Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dobby and others in their fight against Lord Voldemort. Dobby is buried there by Harry.

Fleur fights against the Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts, along with her husband Bill and the Order of the Phoenix. She makes it through the battle and defeat of Lord Voldemort. Fleur and Bill go on to have three children. The oldest child, Victoire, was born on the one year anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts.
