I believe that, had she been a Hogwarts student, Fleur Delacour would have been a shoo-in for the Slug Club. She was chosen as a Triwizard Champion over all of the other students at Beauxbatons. While she struggled during the tasks, she did manage to get past her dragon. And she was doing fine in the maze until she was hexed. Fleur was clearly very talented, brave and intelligent. Plus she is part Veela. I feel like Slughorn would have noticed her uncanny ability to charm those around her and would have seen that as a useful skill - Slughorn himself often relied on charm, after all. I think he would have recognized that she had the makings of an extraordinary witch and would have invited her to the Club. And if he didn't, but Fleur wanted in, I'm sure she could use her Veela powers to win Slughorn over and convince him to let her join!

Yes! I didn't even think of non-Hogwarts students! I agree that Slughorn would have seen her skills and desires to succeed. I also think the part-Veela would have set his alarms off for something unique and exciting. And if nothing less, hey, she'd be nice to look at, right? LOL

Though, I wonder if he would have not taken her because that would have been charm competition and I'm sure he wants to be the number one guy.

Oh I don't doubt at all that Fleur would charm Slughorn speechless. He seems like the kind of man who would be in awe over Fleur's beauty and Veela heritage.

Oooh, I agree with this! She's definitely special enough~ already, being one-eighth (?) Veela, and she can certainly turn on the charm if need be. In addition to that, she was, as you said, a Triwizard Champion, and only THE best and bravest are selected, aren't they? She also has spirit, a bit like Ginny who did get in, as seen from her participation in the Battle of Hogwarts.

I agree with this! On top of that, if Slughorn was ever lacking club members, he could use the fact that she was a veela to lure in the men! LOL. But, yeah, on top of that, she was intelligent, a Triwizard Champion, at a prestigious school, and she also spoke French, which I'm sure would've helped Slughorn out in some way!

I think that Fleur would be doing great in the Slug Club. She is intelligent and she was doing good in the Triwizard Championship. She wasn't the best but she was good I think that Slughorn wants to have people that are unique and Fleur is unique.
