Fleur fell into the hole with all the rest of HP 5+6. (short answer.) The long answer is that when book 5 came out, I was alread in the middle of a longer HP fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2491189/1/)involving Lupin, Bill and Clancy, and wasn't about to change the whole story for canon I didn't really like (and at that point, while it was implied that Bill and Fleur were involved, it wasn't definitive.)
While I like the idea of Fleur, I think she really suffers from Rowling writing her, and being always in last place because she's The Girl. (There were other factors, but it really tweaked me that Fleur had to be last because she wasn't dating/wasn't a main character/wasn't the rival of a main characters. How hard is it to have your chicks competent, JK!)
Anyway, Clancy has a soft spot in my heart, and I haven't written her in a long time, so I jumped on the chance to give her a little cameo.
