Maxime and Madame Schontz were the first to re-enter the salon, about ten o'clock, leaving the other guests, who had ceased to tell anecdotes and were now boasting of their various good qualities, with their viscous lips glued to the glasses which they could not drain.
Fabien caught Madame Schontz around the waist and kissed her with an impulse of fury and joy, in which the double intoxication of wine and love was secondary to ambition.
Madame Schontz had given precise directions; monsieur could enter as master with the fullest understanding of madame; but, warned by the noise of monsieur's arrival, madame had so arranged that the sound of her dressing-door closing as women's doors do close when they are surprised, was to reach monsieur's ears.

Madame Maxime is not an "ugly woman." She is described as a handsome woman and this SHALLOW HAL gag wouldn't work well.

Cons: Madame Maxime wanted to deny her bloodline, Hagrid seems to be the number one candidate for sacrificial goat and, frankly, it's kind of disturbing, aesthetically
Pro: They have a lot fun together, they are obviously attracted to each other, they have at least one thing in common (Quidditch) and Angelina is spunky enough to take on the twins (she volunteered as champion).
