"'Arry, you saved my sister's life, I do not forget."
— Fleur's fierce loyalty to Harry Potter
Fleur Isabelle Weasley (née Delacour) (b. c. 1976-1977) was a French quarter-Veela witch, one of the daughters of Apolline Delacour and her husband, the other daughter being the younger Gabrielle. Fleur attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. During the 1994–1995 school year, she was Beauxbatons' champion in the Triwizard Tournament. Fleur competed bravely, but the Tournament ended in tragedy with the murder of Cedric Diggory and the return of Lord Voldemort.
In the following summer, Fleur took a part-time job at Gringotts Wizarding Bank to improve her English, and began dating her co-worker Bill Weasley. The pair soon became engaged and Fleur stayed at The Burrow in the summer of 1996 to get to know Bill's family better, a fact that Ginny Weasley greatly disliked, nicknaming her 'Phlegm'.
Fleur arrived at Hogwarts in the aftermath of the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1997 during which her fiancé was badly injured by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. The pair were married in August of that year; however the wedding was disrupted by Death Eaters following the fall of the Ministry of Magic. Fleur and Bill took up residence at Shell Cottage, and later assisted Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger with Dumbledore's quest following their escape from Malfoy Manor, offering them room and board. Fleur fought alongside her husband in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998.
After the Second Wizarding War, she and Bill had three children; Victoire, Dominique, and Louis Weasley. She was awarded medals of bravery by both the French and British Ministries of Magic for her participation in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Early life
Fleur was quarter-Veela, and grew up in France. She grew up with her father Monsieur Delacour and her half-Veela mother Apolline Delacour. She also had a younger sister, Gabrielle. Fleur's grandmother was full Veela and at some point contributed a hair that would later become the core element of Fleur's wand.
Beauxbatons Academy of Magic (?–1995)
At an unknown point in time Fleur began attending Beauxbatons Academy of Magic.
Working for Gringotts (1995–1997)
"Bill is very busy at ze moment, working very 'ard, and I only work part-time at Gringotts for my Eenglish, so he brought me 'ere for a few days to get to know 'is family properly. I was so pleased to 'ear you would be coming — zere isn't much to do 'ere, unless you like cooking and chickens!" — Fleur staying at The Burrow and her opinion of it During the summer of 1995, Fleur secured a part-time job at Gringotts. It was then that she was reacquainted with Bill Weasley, who had returned from Egypt and taken a desk job to help the Order of the Phoenix, and the two began dating. Fleur and Bill dated for a year until Bill proposed to her. Fleur accepted, and in the summer of 1996, Bill brought Fleur to The Burrow so she could get to know his family. She was delighted to know that Harry was going to stay with the Weasleys for the remainder of the summer. However, her blunt nature and critical attitude created conflict between her and the female members of the Weasley family, including Hermione Granger. Mrs Weasley did not care for Fleur at all, believing that she was not the right choice for her son. Ginny and Hermione disliked her for her general attitude towards everything; Ginny gave Fleur the nickname "Phlegm," although they never openly used it in front of her and Fleur was tolerated for Bill's sake. She spent Christmas that year at The Burrow as well, further annoying Mrs Weasley by loudly stating her dislike of Celestina Warbeck, Mrs Weasley's favourite singer.
"A young woman was standing in the doorway, a woman of such breathtaking beauty that the room seemed to have become strangely airless. She was tall and willowy with long blonde hair and appeared to emanate a faint, silvery glow."
— Harry Potter describes Fleur's physical appearance
Due to her part-Veela heritage, Fleur was a breathtakingly beautiful witch, and hence caught a good deal of attention from many males. She was tall and willowy, with an air of grace that made her seem like she was gliding when she was walking, and her very presence seemed to "emanate a faint, silvery glow". She had long, silvery-blonde hair that fell almost to her waist, large, deep blue eyes, fair skin, and very white, even teeth.
Her beauty "usually dimmed everyone else by comparison". However, on her wedding day, her extreme happiness allowed her beauty to affect everyone near her, making them beautiful as well, to the point where no one could tell that her husband had his face scarred by Fenrir Greyback.
Fleur Delacour: "It is too 'eavy, all zis 'Ogwarts food. I will not fit into my dress robes!"
Hermione Granger: "Oooh there's a tragedy. She really thinks a lot of herself, that one, doesn't she?"
— Fleur's high opinion of herself
In her youth, Fleur was arrogant and conceited. Because of her beauty, she saw herself as 'a cut above' most others. For instance, when Ron Weasley asked her to go to the Yule Ball with him, she "looked at him as though he were a sea slug." Her only redeeming feature seemed to be her genuine concern for her sister (Gabrielle), as seen when she fought to return to the water to save her. She fought despite having previously suffered an attack by Grindylows in the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament.
Fleur also had a very blunt nature, always speaking her mind. Therefore, she often came off as rude and snobbish. She once made insulting comments about the state of the Hogwarts Christmas decorations and later made comments about Mrs Weasley (her future mother-in-law)'s home. This snobbish attitude was what made most other women, especially Molly and Ginny Weasley, dislike her.
However, despite her high opinion of herself, Fleur's softer side was warm and caring. She showed this softer side after Harry Potter saved her sister from the Great Lake. Her attitude towards him changed and she started treating him with affection and respect. She fretted over the safety of those she loved, and if someone she cared about was in trouble she would always try to help them. She was also not a superficial person.
Ron Weasley: "She's a Veela!"
Hermione Granger: "Of course she isn't! I don't see anyone else gaping at her like an idiot!"
Ron Weasley: "I'm telling you, that's not a normal girl! They don't make them like that at Hogwarts!"
— Fleur's Veela magic having a profound effect on Ron Weasley
Fleur was a talented and able witch, which was shown by her selection as the Beauxbatons Champion by the Goblet of Fire. Though circumstances in the Tournament conspired against her, as she was unable to fully showcase her talents, she proved her magical skill, by her participation and survival in subsequent battles.
•Veela attraction: As a quarter-Veela, Fleur had the ability to attract men with her beauty. Although her ability was not as strong as that of a full Veela, she was still able to make herself ravishing enough to completely overwhelm unsuspecting individuals if she wanted to. When in an elated or euphoric state, Fleur's Veela attraction enhanced the physical attractiveness of all within a given radius of her, to the point where one could hardly even tell that her husband had his face scarred after he fought Fenrir Greyback.
"An 'air from ze 'ead of a Veela. One of my grandmuzzer's."
— Fleur describing her wand
•Wand: The wand of Fleur Delacour was 9½" rosewood, with a Veela hair core. The hair was donated by Fleur's grandmother. When the wand was weighed by Mr Ollivander during the Triwizard Tournament, in which Fleur was Beauxbatons' champion, he described it as "inflexible".
•Dress Robes: These dress robes were worn by Fleur to the Yule Ball in 1994 as part of the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts,
•Wedding dress: This wedding dress was worn by Fleur at her wedding to Bill Weasley on 1 August, 1997. The dress was described as a white dress.
•Medals of bravery: Fleur's medals of bravery were awarded to her some point after 2 May, 1998 by the British and French Ministries of Magic, respectively, for her participation in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Family Olympe Maxime
Fleur: "Madame Maxime! Zey are saying zat zis little boy is to compete also!" Madame Maxime: "What is ze meaning of zis, Dumbly-dorr?" — Fleur Delacour and Madame Maxime Olympe Maxime was the headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic during Fleur's time at the school. Madam Maxime was indignant at the inclusion of Harry Potter in the Triwizard Tournament, and supported Fleur's efforts to win completely; when Harry saw Maxime when Hagrid showed him the First Task's dragons, he had no doubts that Maxime would have told Fleur all about them. Fleur presumably remained in close contact with her headmistress, as she invited her to the wedding.
Roger Davies
During 1994, Fleur attended the Yule Ball as the partner of Roger Davies. He was apparently too smitten by her part-Veela charm to take note of anything she said, most of which was criticism of Hogwarts, while constantly missing his own mouth with the fork during dinner. The two apparently enjoyed their time together, as they had a romantic night within the bushes during the later parts of the Ball. However, they did not keep in contact after the Triwizard Tournament ended, as Fleur married Bill Weasley.
Viktor Krum
As Viktor Krum and Fleur were both the Triwizard champions for their schools, Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons respectively, they viewed each other as competition during the Triwizard Tournament. They maintained their friendship and she invited him to her wedding to William Weasley in 1997.
•According to J. K. Rowling, her name comes from the French phrase fleur de la cour, meaning "flower of the court."
•Fleur's middle name, Isabelle, comes from the French word belle, meaning beautiful.
