WIZARDING INFORMATIONS:
House: Fleur was sorted into Ravenclaw. Her insatiable curiosity, sharp intellect, and obsession with learning—particularly in the realm of the arcane and forbidden—made her a natural fit for the house of wit and wisdom. However, her tendency to push boundaries and delve into the darker sides of knowledge set her apart from her peers, making her an enigmatic and controversial figure even within her own house.

Patronus*: Fleur's Patronus was a black swan, a symbol of both grace and the unexpected. The black swan represented her dual nature: outwardly elegant and admired, yet harboring a darker, more mysterious side. As her connection to dark magic grew, her ability to conjure a Patronus faltered, reflecting the imbalance in her soul.

Wand*: Wood: Ebony (known for its association with power, independence, and an affinity for those who are unafraid to explore the unknown), core: thestral tail hair (a rare and ominous core, it bonds best with witches and wizards who have faced death and are unafraid of its mysteries. This core reinforced her connection to the darker aspects of magic), length: 12 ¾ inches

SYNOPSIS.

Fleur Benefiel was everything Hogwarts students dreamed of being: beautiful, talented, and from one of the oldest pureblood families in the wizarding world. She had it all—grace, intelligence, and the admiration of nearly everyone around her. Her life seemed perfect, the kind that stories were written about. But perfection often hides dangerous flaws.

Beneath the polished exterior, Fleur harbored a dangerous obsession. She wasn't interested in fame, power, or the traditional pursuits of her peers. Instead, she was drawn to the darkest corners of magic, consumed by a fascination with spells and secrets that most witches and wizards feared to even acknowledge. She studied cursed tomes, whispered incantations forbidden by law, and pursued knowledge that could destroy anyone who came too close.

This obsession caught the attention of Tom Riddle, a student whose ambition and cunning were already the stuff of legend. Tom wasn't interested in Fleur for her beauty or her reputation—though both could be useful to him. What drew him to her was her hunger for the dark arts, her willingness to cross lines no one else dared. He saw in her a kindred spirit, someone who could match his own ambition and perhaps even help him achieve his ultimate goals.

As the two became entangled, their connection grew deeper and more dangerous. Fleur thought she was in control, that she could use Tom just as he used others. But Tom always had the upper hand. He watched as Fleur's curiosity led her further into darkness, her obsession with forbidden magic driving her to make reckless choices.

In the end, her fascination became her downfall. Whether it was her own misstep or Tom's betrayal, Fleur's life ended not in glory but in tragedy. Her death was as sudden as it was brutal, her lifeless body a stark reminder of the dangers of meddling with forces beyond understanding. Her parents mourned her, unaware of the secrets she had kept hidden.

But Fleur's story didn't end with her death. Her choices, her ambitions, and her connection to Tom left a mark on him—a crack in the foundation of the man who would become Lord Voldemort. Fleur had sought immortality through knowledge, but in the end, she became a piece of Tom's story, her memory lingering as both a warning and a challenge.

Was Fleur a victim of her own choices? Or was she the one who planted the seeds of Tom Riddle's eventual downfall?

NOTES:

── tom turnes fleur into a horcrux when she was accidentally in the bathroom when he killed myrtle warren. she swore to not say a word about it if he releases her but he refuses because (in his sick head) he's fully and completely in love with fleur

── they fake her death so everyone believes she's dead while tom hides her somewhere in the woods. she's stuck with him for eternity

── she's a fan of snakes so tom let her have snakes behind their new & shared house in the forest. she's really close with them so pls write about their time together as much as you can!!

── fleur becomes close with regulus black & peter pettigrew once they join the death eaters. she is sent to kill regulus by tom because he found out he's trying to find one of the horcruxes. but instead of killing him, she helps him escape

── fleur can shield her mind from tom's mind-reading which is really important

── fleur is there when tom kills james & lily and stops him from killing harry

── fleur must become close to the trio somehow & she must help them figure out the horcruxes and all
