Fleur Delacour
Born c. 1977 [Y-3] (date derived from the fact that Fleur was of age - 17
- by Hallowe'en of 1994 [Y14], when the names of prospective Triwizard
champions were processed by the Goblet of Fire, GF16).
Fleur is part Veela (her grandmother was one, GF18), with blue eyes, long
silvery-blonde hair, and very white even teeth. Her voice is "throaty."
She was selected as Beauxbatons champion for the 1994 - 1995 [Y14 - Y15]
Triwizard Tournament (GF16).
Fleur is a bit haughty and dismissive. She attended the Yule Ball of
December 1994 [Y14] with Roger Davies of Ravenclaw, criticizing Hogwarts
for everything from its food to its decorations in a voice loud enough to
be heard by everyone around (GF22, GF23). She was still somewhat critical
almost two years later (HBP5).
Boys (and grown men) find her extremely attractive, but girls --
particularly Hermione and Ginny -- are usually a bit less than taken with
her. She is conscious of her beauty and her power over men; this is at
least in part because of her Veela heritage.
Fleur took a part-time job at Gringotts in London (summer 1995 [Y15]) to
improve her English. She dated Bill Weasley (OP4) for about a year before
they became engaged during the summer of 1996 [Y16]. The wedding is
scheduled to take place during the summer of 1997 [Y17].
When Harry came to stay with the Weasleys he discovered that Fleur was
also visiting so she could get to know her future in-laws better. With
mixed results: Ron was still dumbstruck around her, but her
superciliousness grated on Molly and Ginny (HBP5). After Bill was mauled
by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback Fleur surprised everyone by standing by
him and reaffirming that she wished to marry him "I am good-looking enough
for both of us, I theenk!" (HBP29)
"Fleur Delacour" means "flower of the court," according to JKR (AOL).
Ginny nicknamed her 'Phlegm.'" (HBP5).
