I'd love Fleur to become a "prentice teacher" (thinking of OSC's Alvin Maker 
series), though.  Doesn't have to be DADA... any subject will do. In the 
Muggle world, I think it's a great idea for student teaching to last a year 
or even longer... working side by side with a veteran worth his/her salt.  I 
think the magical world would be no different.

Let's not write Fleur off too quickly.  Though she may have seemed like a 
ditz in GoF, there is a reason why the Goblet selected her.  We don't know 
her strengths (other than having men fall all over her, and that's just 
intrinsic--she can't help her veela blood).  Either she has more going for 
her than we realize... or not much can be said about the Beauxbatons student 
body.

As for Bill/Fleur, why not?  It'd be fun while it lasted... but I can't see 
it lasting very long.  She seems a bit too high-strung for Bill Weasley.

"Be not amazed, beloved, if sometimes my song grows dark...
Perhaps, beloved, I shall fall tomorrow on a restless earth
Lamenting your sinking eyes, and the dark tom-tom of the
    mortars below.
And you will weep for the twilight, for the glowing voice
That sang your black beauty."

--Leopold Sedar Senghor, Negritude movement, 1963
