MEETING BILL WEASLEY

Fleur stood from the Ravenclaw table to meet her parents. Her hairs were tied in a messy bun with her flicks pushed untidily behind her hairs. This might give an unimpressive appearance on any other witch, but Fleur was not a normal witch. She was a part veela and even though she maintained a sloppy attitude, she looked breathtaking.

Most of the guys would stare at her letting their eyes travel down her body without even caring for her feelings and others would try to impress her without even thinking of what would make her feel special. Nobody seemed to respect her and her privacy. They flirted with her as if she were a slut and when she would tell them she was not interested they would look at her as if she were crazy. They expected her to feel lucky with all the men staring at her.

She had complained about this to her mother when she was young but her mother had explained her that there were some benefits of being a veela as well. Her mother would often tell her that being a veela, she could easily recognize when men around her were truly in love with her and a person who would be able to resist her veela charms was capable of true love. Eventually, every man would mature and after he finds his true mate; he will gain the ability of resisting veela charm.

The only person she had met who could resist her veela charms except her relatives was Cedric Diggory. And probably that was the main reason why she had instantly became friends with him. However, the rumor that she had a crush on Cedric had spread like a fiendfire and suddenly all those girls who had a crush on Cedric would give her death glares. However, it wasn't true. Though Cedric was good looking and popular, she never looked at him in that way. She was happy having him around as a friend and she really appreciated the fact that he liked Cho. She smiled at Cedric who had just got up from the Huffelpuff table and joined him on her way to the room where she could meet her parents. "What is ze matter Cedric? You look flushed" Fleur grinned at him. "I am" Cedric said blushing furiously. "Let me guess. Ees eet about Cho" she asked him playfully. Cedric blushed if possible even harder as he tried to avoid her question. "Eesn't she beautiful" Fleur asked him winking. Cedric nervously put his hands in his hairs ruffling them slightly and turned to look at Cho who seemed be enjoying with her friends. "She is beautiful" Cedric confirmed as they reached the room. Before he could say anything else he was pushed in a giant hug by his father roughly pushing Fleur away from him. Fleur knew Cedric's father did not like her. Nevertheless his dislike did not justify his behavior.

"Are you alright" Fleur felt a comforting hand on her shoulder. She saw a tall, thin man having long red hairs that he wore in a ponytail . His presence suddenly made her realize that Cedric's father had pushed her with such intensity that she fallen upon the floor grabbing the attention of everybody else in the room. She saw the man remove his hands from her shoulders and offering it to her as a help for standing up. She was shocked. His black eyes did not show any trace of lust or attraction towards her. They were kind and filled with an emotion called helpfulness. Fleur didn't know whether she was dreaming or not. This couldn't be true. This had never been true. Agreed that Cedric was good looking but this man standing in front of her was quite more handsome. She realized that she had been staring at him for almost a minute and readily accepted the help that he was offering. "Merci" she stuttered as the man smiled. "I am Bill Weasley" he introduced himself.
