Fleur is constantly shit on bc sheās pretty. Esp by Hermione and even Ginny. Fleur was a Triwizard Champion, deemed the most worthy in her entire school. Sheās not stupid, and when Harry reminds the girls that sheās not an idiot, both Hermione and Ginny accuse Harry of only sticking up for her because he thinks sheās hot.
This smacks uncomfortably of the āgirls bring catty and hating the pretty girlā bullshit.
Fleur never forgot that Harry saved her sister when he did not have to, and even at the time, she outright stated that she ādeserved zeroā points for allowong the Grindylows to stop her.
Fleur is part veelaā¦ It is literally in her blood. She canāt turn it off. And blaming her for guys being attracted to her is way to similar to āsheās asking for itā.
Mrs. Weasley, who is known in the fandom for taking in strays and loving everyone So Much, actively hated Fleur for over a yearā¦ With absolutely no concrete reason to do so. Ginny says that the only reason Bill likes Fleur is that āheās always gone in for a bit of adventureā. And imho this is one of the cattiest, most insulting things ever said in the entire series.
Fleur is the Elle Woods of the wizarding world. She has had to fight against her looks every step of the way, to prove that she belongs at the table. That she isnāt just a pretty face. That she deserves the attention for her deeds or her words or her heart, not just because of her face. To not be objectified by everyone she meets, to make friends who care about her for who she is, not what she looks like.
I maintain this is why she chose Bill. He treats her like a person. And why she adores Harry. Harry has always treated her like a person too. He blushes when she kisses him, but heās a 16yo boy, he blushes at everything. And when they first met, he was nervous around herā¦ but he was also nervous around Cedric and Krum. It was because they were older than him, not because of a crush. Harry never once thought about asking her to the Ball.
At the Burrow, Harry doesnāt stare at her or clamor for her to kiss him, or get distracted and drop things because sheās nearby. Thatās why she likes him. Nearly everyone else in that house is awful to her. Itās really not a surprise that sheās a bit snotty back.
Yes. Fleur is hella underappreciated, and I have Feelings about it.
