He led his date who began to notice the eyes of all the women in the room and land on her date.
While she knew she had nothing to fear, Fleur couldn't help a feeling of inferiority creep over her, this was the first time she ever felt like that.
The champions stopped at the main table, the three headmasters looked at them in shock. While Dumbledore just smiled Madam Maxine looked impressed by Fleur's date.
Karkaroff on the other hand seemed to be one of those people who felt insulted at the sight of muggle wear at the ball.
Percy noticed the other Percy, Percy Weasley, sitting at the main table, he grew curious as to the man's presence and decided to sit there, with his date following suit.
Krum sat next to his own headmaster while Harry sat besides Hermione, happy to be near one corner of the table. Maxim was stuck between Percy Weasley and Dumbledore, but waved happily at Fleur.
The entire hall sat down for dinner, Dumbledore looked down at his clean white porcelain plate and so the menu on it, he picked it up and looked it over, "pork chops," he ordered, the dish appearing in his plate. The rest of the room caught on, taking the man's lead as they quickly began to eat.
"Your name's Percy as well right?" Percy asked the Weasley sitting beside him, "Ron's older brother, correct?"
The man puffed his chest in pride and nodded, "yes I am. I've just been promoted to Mr. Crouch's assistant and am currently filling in for him."
Percy nodded, "I'm so sorry to hear that, is he alright?"
"Oh he's fine, just a case of the stomach bug, he sends us correspondence by mail, so it isn't an issue," Percy waved off his concern.
Percy, the demigod, nodded as he turned to Fleur looking at her mean. He took a whiff and hissed, "is that fish."
Fleur raised an eyebrow, "and if it iz?"
"Then you're not getting a goodnight kiss tonight," Percy teased.
The veela chuckled, "w'at is it wit' you and fizh? W'y do you 'ate it zo muc'?"
"I think they are disgusting little things," Percy shuddered, "can't stand the sight, smell or taste of them," which was all a lie. He was the prince of the seas, the fish were his subjects, he could communicate with them. To him it was almost like they were his friends! But he every well couldn't say that could he?
"How iz t'iz pozzible? Are you not greek?" Fleur teased fully knowing his usual flaunting of his heritage.
"I am greek, but that has nothing to do with this," Percy huffed, "but I suppose it's only fair, after all given your heritage, you must love fish."
Fleur looked confused, "w'at do you mean?"
"You know, considering you turn into a fire throwing bird?" Percy snickered.
"'Ow rude!" Fler puffed her cheeks, "I'll 'ave you know juzt becauze veela'z tranzform into birdz doezn't mean we are birdz!"
"Do you like flying on a broomstick?"
"Yez, but-"
"Do you get the urge to go somewhere warm during winter?"
"Everyone doez t'at!"
"Do you like eating fish?"
"Yez..."
"Do you pamper your hair?"
"'Ow does tzat make me a bird?!"
"Birds have feathers, you have hair, same difference," Percy shrugged, "hence you are in fact a bird," Percy leaned over and kissed her cheek, "and very pretty bird."
Fleur growled, "you're lucky I like you."
"Or?"
"Or you would be bird food right now."
"So you are a bird!" Percy exclaimed, chuckling as Fleur swatted his arm. Percy looked Fleur over, properly looking at what she was wearing, "I like the dress. Very appropriate, heck you even have birds embroidered on the side."
Fleur looked down and rolled her eyes, "merde, didn't realize t'at. T'ank you t'oug', my parents gave it to me," she touched her necklace, "and Gabriella gave me t'is."
Percy looked down and noticed her ring, "and I gave you that."
Fleur smiled and nodded, "thank you."
"Does it work?" he whispered, "I'll admit I never got a chance to test it out."
"It does," Fleur nodded, "I tried to uze my allure on 'Ugo but it didn't work! It'z under control! 'Ow did you even find the charm Perzy?"
"I remember something similar to it, just had to make a few adjustments before you could use it," Percy shrugged as he felt the trident charm he always wore around his neck grow heavy. The same charm that blocked his scent was the basis for Fleur's charm.
"T'ank you," Fleur smiled, "you look amazing t'is evening as well Perzy. T'ough I must say I'm zurprised by the zuit."
"Haha, yeah, thanks Fleur," Percy chuckled.
"I must agree with Ms. Delacour," Percy Weasley spoke up, "it is very unusual for one to wear muggle clothing for a magical ball."
Percy shrugged, "I guess I'm just not used to wearing robes. I still see myself as a muggle more than a magician, plus I'm not a fan of the bathrobes," Percy shuddered.
"Bathrobes!" Karkaroff hissed, "these aren't bathrobes!"
"Yes they are."
"No they are not!"
"Yes they are. Does the robes you wear to the bath look similar to the ones you are wearing right now?"
"Yes but-"
"-Thank you, hence they are bathrobes," Percy shrugged, "plus maybe it's just the mortal in me, but I think a nice suit is cooler."
"You insolent child, you spit on the very culture you are a part off! Why do you dress as a muggle when you are so obviously a wizard?"
Percy shrugged, "because I don't need to tell anyone I'm a wizard, they all know it. Plus what do you mean I don't dress as a wizard? I'm wearing a cape that can freaking fly, how the Hades isn't that wizard enough for you?"
The man looked outraged, but as he opened his mouth to yell back Dumbledore raised a hand, "well I think that's quite enough. Mr. Jackson has every right to wear whatever he wishes, why if I can wear my...particular coloured clothes he should have no problem wearing whatever he finds most comfortable."
