Background / History

Fleur first encounters Canopus Black in Paris when she blocks a Stunning Spell aimed at him during an Immortality Party ambush. Her intervention makes her a target as well, and she escapes with Canopus after using a Veela mental shockwave to incapacitate two pursuers. Although she is only a fourth-year student and cannot Apparate, she refuses to abandon him or hide at home while he confronts the attackers. 71 73

Canopus gives Fleur a temporary rune that connects their sight, hearing, location, and thoughts across France, allowing her to relay intelligence while remaining in contact with him. She uses the link to support his operation against the Immortality Party, staying awake through the night while acting as his relay. 73 78

After the Immortality Party is defeated, Fleur’s father invites Canopus to the Delacour family’s belated Christmas dinner. Fleur, initially exhausted from the ordeal, hastily prepares herself upon learning he will attend. She later shows Canopus Paris and describes him as gentle and calm until someone crosses his bottom line, at which point he becomes “as violent as a flood.” Their relationship becomes official during the holiday. 78 79 80 100

Fleur continues to visit Canopus in Britain and works alongside him on investigations, including the case of Cromwell’s werewolf-related illness. She investigates the family history, notices details in a portrait, and prepares for the full-moon threat while Canopus provides support through their shared sensory link. Their successful rescue of Cromwell strengthens their partnership. 87 92 95

During the Triwizard Tournament, Fleur represents Beauxbatons as its Champion. She publicly supports Canopus when François challenges him over jealousy, then earns three Golden Eggs in the first task through Veela magic, Transfiguration, and the Conjunctivitis Curse. 166 167 172

Fleur is later poisoned by Snake-Attracting Spring poison hidden in her tampered Beauxbatons badge. The Three-Whirlpool Amulet suppresses the poison, buying Canopus time to seek a cure. After recovering, she accepts the prophecy connecting her life to Canopus’s fate as proof that she is his “fated love.” 187 208

When Canopus disappears after being engulfed by divine power, Fleur refuses Dumbledore’s request to return to France for safety. She remains at Hogwarts to assist the resistance and wait for his return. They reunite after the final conflict, marry at the end of 1999, and later have three children: Merlin, Morgan, and Gawain. 231 240 243 244

Appearance

Fleur is a striking young witch whose Veela heritage makes her beauty especially noticeable to others.

• Long, smooth silver hair, often worn loose or concealed beneath a wide-brimmed hat while travelling. 72 79 80
• Silver-gray eyes. 176
• Pale complexion. 79
• Frequently dresses elegantly, including a pale-blue dress for the Delacour dinner and a silver-gray gown with a sapphire brooch for the Christmas Ball. 79 176

Personality

Fleur is independent, proud, and unwilling to ignore danger when someone needs help. She intervenes for Canopus despite being caught in an attack by strangers, then rejects his request that she leave him to face the Immortality Party alone. 71 73

She has a playful, teasing manner with Canopus, but is also intensely loyal and direct about her feelings. Fleur worries over his safety, supports his long-term plans, and remains at Hogwarts during his disappearance rather than retreating to France. 84 116 231

Her courage is matched by practical intelligence. She researches magical evidence during investigations, prepares for threats rather than waiting passively, and approaches tournament challenges through calculated use of her abilities instead of brute force. 92 172

• Overwhelms the Hungarian Horntail, allowing Fleur to take its Golden Egg without a direct fight. 172
• Disorients the Chinese Fireball, though the dragon resists more effectively and is only left swaying “as if drunk.” 172
• Repeated use is taxing; after using the shockwave and advanced Transfiguration in the first task, Fleur is visibly exhausted and unable to rely on the technique again immediately. 172

Fleur is a capable duelist and combatant who combines defensive magic, Transfiguration, and tactical spellwork.

• Casts Protego to block an incoming Stunning Spell during her first meeting with Canopus. 71
