"Oh, thank gods," she mutters, sneaking behind a tall shrubbery, out of the line of sight of the chaperones and the press, to take a deep breath. This dress is insufferably tight, and she has felt more glares at the back of her head in the past hour than in seven years of school.

What is wrong with the women in this school? Who has hurt them so - who has been so terrible that they have become accustomed to being such...little bitches to other women? It's sad and it's disappointing, and Fleur is very tired already.

She has a packet of cigarettes in the pocket of her dress, which she spells back up to normal size, and with a low level Incendio, one is lit and she takes a deep drag. Thank gods Gabrielle isn't here, the little love. She would likely lecture Fleur about how bad these are for her health.

"But better for my nerves," she mutters to herself, and with a dry laugh takes another drag.

[eldrineabernathy]

Fleur wasn't the only one seeking some peace and quiet from the noise of everyone and everything during the ball. Eldrine had escaped about five minutes earlier, which was easier when the attention and eyes weren't completely on you and you had some extensive history of sneaking out without being caught. She'd thought she had chosen a good hiding spot for the time being and so hadn't expected Fleur of all guests to make her way over. Although Fleur hadn't noticed her yet which was fine.

"Do you have another of those," she asked after she saw the woman light up a cigarette. She didn't do it often but it was something she picked up during the summer holidays. They were bad for her health, she was well aware (Rowan told her often enough) but it did have its uses. "You had to get away from them too?"

[beaubaton]

She nearly drops the cigarette, from the way she jumps, her heartbeat skittering fast, her little yelp of surprise almost carrying. Embarrassed, she calms down enough to look at who was there with her, and found another girl - pretty, a pretty girl - hiding in the bush next to hers.

"Sorry," she murmurs, and holds out the pack. "Help yourself." Then, getting over the fright, she takes a fortifying drag and nods. "If by them you mean the other students...dieu, yes. This school is a mess."

[eldrineabernathy]

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you," Eldrine said quickly, walking closer to the very beautiful woman. She took the pack from her and slid one out before handing it back over.

She glanced toward the doors leading into the ballroom and shook her head to herself. "It really is," she agreed with a laugh before placing a low level incendio on the cigarette then took a drag from it. "You've been doing a great job in the tournament so far." Eldrine was really glad she wasn't part of it. She had enough trouble without adding some crazy tournament to it! She was, secretly or not so secretly, rooting for the Beauxbatons champion.

[beaubaton]

That certainly surprises her to hear - she would've expected more friendly rivalry, maybe some jibes here and there, some of that British passive-aggressiveness? But no, just a smile and a shared smoke and a real compliment.

"Oh - thank you. I didn't think... Thank you." She didn't think it counted for much, what with Krum and Potter being somehow the unwitting stars of the whole Tournament, but maybe she's wrong?

"Fleur," she adds, holding a free hand out.

[eldrineabernathy]

Although she was a Slytherin and had to show some loyalty to the two Hogwart's champions, Eldrine was more impressed by the fact that a female was competing and holding her own. To her, that was far more awesome than anything else. Well. Okay, Potter holding his own as young as he was, was also in of itself impressive. However, she did think it was wrong to force the boy to participate against his will.

At Fleur stumbling over her words, Eldrine gave her a sympathetic smile and brought the cigarette up to her mouth for a drag. "I get it," she said after letting out the smoke and glanced around them (making sure they weren't about to get caught). "If you ask me, females need to stick together more often."

"Eldrine," she said and shook Fleur's with her free hand. Compared to Potter's famous adventures during his tenure, Eldrine's hunt for the cursed vaults (and ultimately her brother) didn't often leave the school. For which she was thankful. She wasn't sure how she'd handle everyone knowing her business.
