A.N. — With this man not even having a canonical first name, it's unsurprising he's absent from the site's character list. What was surprising to me is he survived the cuts I made to other chapters once I realized I was running out of spots for the characters I had left.
329. Monsieur Delacour
Monsieur Delacour was scared for his daughter, but never of her.
His wife had Veela blood; he'd seen Apolline's transformation. It was captivating, if unsettling. But Fleur was even further removed from that background, yet still suffered for it. Her dad worried over letting her loose in the world. Would she face abuse for being a "half-breed" or be forced to grow up too fast?
The Triwizard Tournament exacerbated all Monsieur Delacour's trepidations.
He was so, so proud of Fleur, but still he fretted. By following his heart, had he in turn condemned his daughter to a life of hardship?
