'So that's who he was staring at,' Fleur realised as she watched the girl aproach hair, blushing, 'he must have amazing eyes if he noticed her first before his friend….or just hopelessly in love.'
"Y-you look amazing," Harry stammered.
"Thanks," Susan Bones blushed, "you too. I like your robes."
"Thanks," Harry gulped.
"Oh for god's sake Harry give her the corsage!" Hermione hissed.
Harry blinked out of his state of daze and looked around finally noticing Hermione, "Hermione? When did you get here?"
The brainy girl grumbled rubbing her temples, "nevermind that, corsage remember?"
"Oh, right!" Harry took out a beautiful corsage out of his robes and presented it to Susan, "i-it's a muggle thing, when we go to dances the guy gives the girl this. I hope you like it."
Susan smiled at the flowers, "it's beautiful! I love it," she presented her hand and Harry slipped it on.
Just then the doors opened a little allowing professor McGonagall walked out looking at the champions, frowning at Fleur's lack of partner.
"Where is Mr. Jackson?" she asked.
"We don't know," Harry shrugged, "he said he would be here."
"If he isn't here in five minutes then we are going to have to start without him," the woman huffed.
"Don't worry professor," Fleur smiled, "I'm zure 'e'll be 'ere."
"And why do you think-"
"Sorry I'm late!" came a familiar American voice.
Fleur smiled, "t'at'z w'y," she turned around and looked up just in time to see Percy fly through the Hogwarts doors. Her eyes landed on his face and her smile dropped, replaced to one of absolute awe.
He had cut his hair shorter, it was now slicked back and combed. His eyes seemed to sparkle with a sea green hue, the suit he wore looked tailormade for him, sea blue with a black shirt. He had even charmed the colour of his cloak of levitation from red and gold to blue and black to match his outfit.
He looked like a model, a piece of forbidden fruit given life and a body. And he landed before Fleur with the grace of a cat smiling a half smile that made her blush, "hey pretty bird, you look amazing."
Fleur's jaw didn't move, instead of words incoherent noise came out. Hermione and Susan were equally surprised, blushes all around.
Percy caught on and looked concerned, "ah, you alright there Tweety? You look stunned," Percy noticed Harry and Susan, "heya love birds! Looking cute as ever! And...is that a corsage? Dammit! I should have got one!"
"Mr. Jackson," Professor McGonagall called out, "you were nearly late."
"And yet I am most definitely fashionable," Percy smirked.
The professor nodded, "you do clean up well Mr. Jackson I'll give you that. Now be ready, I'll open the door in five minutes when you'll enter and be guided to the main dining table," and with that she left.
Percy turned to Fleur and grumbled, "shesh, I swear that woman doesn't know how to smile," seeing Fleur's still blank look Percy grew worried, "Fleur? Are you okay?"
"You look amazing," she whispered.
Percy grinned, "thanks, you don't look half bad yourself."
"B-but 'ow! W'at did you do to look zo different?" Fleur asked, surprised and quite curious.
Percy shrugged, "I don't really know what you mean. I mean all I did was get a new haircut, wash my face and comb my hair. I also got my nails cleaned," Percy looked at his nails, "maybe that's it?"
"Are you telling me all this vhile you have never actually taken an effort in maintaining your looks?" Krum asked curious as he often had to put on makeup and the like for many photoshoots.
Percy shrugged, "no, not really."
"So this is you actually trying?" Hermione asked, her left eyes twitching uncontrollably for some reason.
Percy shrugged, "pretty much I guess."
"It does kind of make sense," Harry shrugged, "I don't remember you ever getting a haircut before. Maybe that's it."
"A simple haircut doesn't do this!" Susan cried out, pointing at the gorgeous man standing before her.
"I don't know, guess I'm just like that," Percy replied with a shrug while thinking, 'maybe it's my godly side kicking in. After all gods have always been called breathtakingly beautiful, well except Hephaestus, maybe this is just my godly side coming out.'
"You are worze than a veela," Fleur huffed, "t'e moment people zee you like t'iz, I just know I'm going to be in for a lot of trouble."
"Everyone get ready, they are about to begin," Hermione hissed as they all got in position. Percy and Fleur at the lead, given Percy's first place lead, Viktor and Hermione following them with Harry and Susan at the end, which was just fine with Harry, let the veela and the impossibly gorgeous man take all the attention away from him.
The doors opened and Percy was amazed at the transformation the hall had undergone. There was a giant christmas tree put up in one corner, several floating bells that jingled and fake snow that fell from the sky.
The champions walked down the hall, the students were all sitting down in circular while tables, ten per table. As the champions walked down the hall all eyes went to the leads. And more specifically the demigod with the really cool cape.
Percy looked like he was cut out of a witch's weekly magazine for most eligible bachelor. His suit was like a punch in the face for all the purebloods in the room.
It was an insult for the champion of Hogwarts to not be wearing robes during the Yule ball, and while most didn't care, a few did.
Percy walked with confidence, his stance radiating power. His cape billowed behind him, seemingly pushed by the sheer power that he gave off. His walk was like that of a king's march towards his throne.
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.
