New Hogwarts Profs: Bill and Fleur?

JKR hinted that Fleur would be returning to Hogwarts in Book 5 ("I am 'oping 
to get a job 'ere, to improve my Eenglish" GoF, 734) and it was clear she had 
taken a peculiar interest in Ron's brother Bill ("Fleur Delacour was eying Bill 
with great interest over her mother's shoulder." GoF, 616).  Since the coming 
books are supposed to be full of raging hormones, I think this would be an 
obvious pairing in Book 5(though may instead come up in either Book 6 or 7).  
But how do both end up at Hogwarts?

Fleur cannot be the new DADA, because she is no where near qualified.  She 
could not even escape the grindylows in the second task (GoF, 506).  At what 
subject does Fleur excel?  It would appear Charms comes more naturally to 
her ("She demonstrated excellent use of the Bubble-Head Charm" GoF, 506).  
Prof. Flitwick is currently the Charms teacher and also the head of Ravenclaw.  
This is the table at which Fleur and her fellow Beauxbaxton students sat (GoF, 
615).  Thus, Fleur could have talked to Flitwick about a possible position as 
an Assistant Charms Professor (as Flitwick is getting up in the years).  
Eventually, this could lead to a full position if/when Flitwick decides to retire.  

Bill, as we know, works for Gringotts in Egypt as a curse breaker.  Though 
some believe he could be the Care of Magical Creatures Professor while 
Hagrid is away on his "task", it seems that his brother Charlie is more qualified 
in that subject.  He cannot be the DADA teacher in Book 5 because he is 
male.  We to place him then?  Perhaps Potions in Snape's apparent absence 
(this is another possibility for Fleur as well), or he could become an Assistant 
Professor in a number of fields.  We honestly don't know much about his 
overall skills from the books, but he seems to be a successful wizard who 
could excel in many areas.








I apologize in advance if this is a redundant argument, but I just joined the 
group (and am so excited there are others like me).
