Wow! This is lovely. I like the two different moments put together this way - it's not immediately obvious why they go together and yet it works. I also like the subtle way we see Fleur's troubles with English all throughout that help us work up to the last line. I also also like the way we see the arguments about the wedding revealing Fleur's deeper feelings about life and about Bill. Lovely work.

Thank you so much!
I took this prompt because there are lots of these birds around here, and they are much too sweet to have such a sad name! I prefer Fleur's interpretation. :D

Very nicely done. I love that Fleur has depth and personality in this story- many people fail to be as fair to her, and that's a real shame.

Thanks so much! I do think there is more to Fleur than meets the eye ~ she must be intelligent and she seems loyal.

It's nice to see Fleur's side of things, what she might have thought ot Harry and Cedric and Viktor, and how it all worked out.

Also nice to see her having her quiet peace in the end, having been through so much.

Thank you! It was fun trying out a Fleur fic.

Oh, that's lovely. I love the depth you've given Fleur, and the way you've treated her problems with English. Bill was done well too. I've never seen this pairing done better.
