Chapter 814: Beauxbatons
Fleur had looked furious when she left, but in truth, she was quite pleased... pleased for Kanna.
From her perspective, Kyle’s behavior just now easily scored an eighty. Even with her standing right there, his eyes never strayed from Kanna.
That was a rarity.
At least when it came to looks, Fleur had always been confident—and equally dismissive of everyone else.
She had good reason to be. A Veela’s bloodline was as absurdly powerful as the Elder Wand.
Back in the shop, she hadn’t held back her natural allure at all, yet Kyle still paid her no mind.
She felt a slight sting of defeat, sure, but more than that, she was genuinely happy for Kanna.
Aside from her younger sister Gabrielle Delacour, Kanna was probably her best friend... even if they hadn’t known each other that long.
Despite her fame in France—as a celebrated Beauxbatons alumna and Triwizard Tournament Champion—Fleur didn’t have many friends.
Being half-Veela had granted her breathtaking beauty, but it came at the cost of meaningful friendships.
She’d had plenty of admirers at school, of course, but most of them were driven by desire. The rest were interested in the Delacour family’s name—or both.
The Delacours were fairly well-known in France and had a close relationship with Madam Maxime. Naturally, many people tried to get close.
