Special assignment from the headmistress

A report on Fleur Delacour.

Fleur Isabelle Delacour is a witch from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, a wizardry school in France. Fleur was born in France and is part Veela, semi-human, semi-magical creatures reminiscent of the Sirens of Greek Mythology. They appear to be young, beautiful human women, and their appearance and especially their dance are magically seductive to all males. When Veela are angry, however, they transform into something more like Harpies -- their faces turn into cruel-beaked bird heads and long scaly wings burst from their shoulders, and they can launch balls of fire from their hand.

She participated in the tri-wizard tournament at Hogwarts. That summer she worked at Gringotts Bank where she started dating Bill Weasley. They later became engaged and got married. Bill's sister, Ginny, has nicknamed Fleur, Phlegm, but she later proves herself to be a kind person and a valiant fighter in the fight against the Dark Lord.
