did everyone just forget about when bill was attacked by greyback and he had a ton of scars and mrs weasley was like âoh better call off the weddingâ and fleur was like âwhy the fuck would we do thatâ and mrs weasley basically said that fleur only liked bill bc of his looks and fleur totally told her and was like âi love him no matter what he looks likeâ and she turned out to be really cool I feel like fleur is underrated
what she said exactly was âiâm beautiful enough for both of usâ and honestly when has anything been more iconic
Fleur is constantly shit on bc sheâs pretty. Esp by Hermione and even Ginny. Fleur was a Triwizard Champion, deemed the most worthy in her entire school. Sheâs not stupid, and when Harry reminds the girls that sheâs not an idiot, both Hermione and Ginny accuse Harry of only sticking up for her because he thinks sheâs hot.
This smacks uncomfortably of the âgirls bring catty and hating the pretty girlâ 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 âdeserved zeroâ points for allowong the Grindylows to stop her.
Fleur is part veela⌠It is literally in her blood. She canât turn it off. And blaming her for guys being attracted to her is way to similar to âsheâs asking for itâ.
Mrs. Weasley, who is known in the fandom for taking in strays and loving everyone So Much, actively hated Fleur for over a year⌠With absolutely no concrete reason to do so. Ginny says that the only reason Bill likes Fleur is that âheâs always gone in for a bit of adventureâ. 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 isnât 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 heâs a 16yo boy, he blushes at everything. And when they first met, he was nervous around her⌠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 doesnât stare at her or clamor for her to kiss him, or get distracted and drop things because sheâs nearby. Thatâs why she likes him. Nearly everyone else in that house is awful to her. Itâs really not a surprise that sheâs a bit snotty back.
Yes. Fleur is hella underappreciated, and I have Feelings about it.
