A Girl Named Hope: Chapter Twenty-One: Newfound Happiness
Fleur Delacour was used to people either shying away from her, sickened by the effects of her Allure or desiring her above almost all things.
And it made her miserable, but she hid it very well.
When she went over to request the bouillabaisse from the two red-heads and the brunette, finding a friend was the last thing she expected, especially one in the famous Hope Potter.
But the girl hero was nothing like she was portrayed.
She was witty and sarcastic and full of fire; Fleur knew in an instant that she would get along splendidly with her mother. She was fascinated by the same ancient arts that had captured Fleur's attention as well, and for the first time since she had entered Beauxbatons, she didn't feel the need to entirely guard herself.
Hope had offered her a seat at her table with her friends when they had barely known each other and that relationship had only grown. Soon nearly half of Gryffindor House knew her simply by her association with the trio that was Hope, Ron, and Hermione.
She found a kindred spirit in Alicia, and sharp mind in Angelina, a friendly soul in Lee, and mischievous nature in Fred and George.
And the way George looked at Hope, or Fred looked at Angelina, or Lee looked at Alicia…it was a look that Fleur hoped to have directed towards her one day.
It would be a few short months before Hope led her on the path to meet her love.
She had very much to thank Hope for in regards to her newfound happiness and she would take it and grasp it with both hands.
