A Project Conceived
At dawn, Hermione awoke in the hospital wing before Ron and Harry and hurried down to Hagrid's cabin to congratulate him on the escape of Buckbeak. There could be no doubt that Hagrid would be relieved that his hippogriff had escaped. And what a glorious day it would be! She and Harry had saved more than one innocent life from cruel injustice. Both Buckbeak and Sirius who had escaped together.
It was the beginning of a beautiful summer day, but the sun was barely up and it was quite cool. There was a pearly mist hanging over the great lake as Hermione hurried down towards Hagrid's cabin.
"Mornin' Hermione," said Hagrid, "Have yer heard? Beaky's escaped. I've been celebratin' all night."
"That's wonderful Hagrid," said Hermione with a smile.
"Yeah, can' have tied him up properly," said Hagrid. "Now how would you like to visit Lavender and Parvati with me? They've done ruddy brillian' on their special project."
"Special project?" Hermione was indignant. Had Hagrid been teaching Lavender and Parvati about proper creatures instead of wasting their time on flobberworms?
"They're in the secret cabin," said Hagrid, leading Hermione to a narrow path into the Forbidden Forest. The path was very narrow. The overhanging branches kept catching at Hermione's hair and thorns tore at her robes. She had to run to keep pace with Hagrid. Eventually they came to a log cabin some way into the forest and she followed Hagrid inside.
"Ooh!" Hermione gasped as with a giddy unreal feeling she saw Lavender and Parvati.
They were stark naked and lying on two white beds and cuddling what looked like creatures that were somewhere between human babies and tiny foals. The little creatures definitely had the bodies of little foals, legs sprawled higgledy-piggledy on the beds, but they also had round heads, with faces that were almost human-like, with large eyes and snubbed little noses, and little tufts of hair on their heads instead of manes. Both girls looked weary and slightly haggard, but they were beaming with pride.
"Are they baby magicorns?" Hermione swallowed. Magicorns were babies born from couplings between unicorn stallions and witches. She remembered that Lavender and Parvati had been heavily pregnant, that term, but she had had no idea that they would be giving birth to magicorns. What would anyone make of this?
"Won' yer congratulate them?" asked Hagrid.
"Congratulations!" squeaked Hermione.
Parvati grinned at her. "Thank you, Hermione. I bet you wish you had taken a special project? Unicorn sex is quite something I can tell you. And look at my little Ani." The foal had the body of a tiny tan coloured horse and a tuft of black hair on his head.
"He's so sweet!" said Hermione.
"Lavender found the delivery hard, but she pulled through. Full marks!" Parvati gave Lavender the thumbs up and Lavender gave a wan smile. Her long blond hair was hanging loose whereas Parvati had taken the troubles to put her hair into a plait, and she looked very pale and weary, but at the same time, triumphant. Her foal was suckling at her breast. He had the body of a silver foal and the tuft of hair on his human-shaped head was blond, like his mother's.
"Oh my, what will you do!" said Hermione wringing her hands.
"We're going to look after our foals of course," said Lavender looking askance at her. "After I've groaned and suffered to give birth to him I've jolly well earned being a mother."
"Ye've well earned full marks," said Hagrid proudly.
"It is an important piece of research, this project," said Parvati.
"Wait! Full marks? Hagrid, I've got to do this too," cried Hermione.
"Are yer sure, Hermione?" asked Hagrid.
Hermione felt torn on the subject. She had never really liked horses the way Parvati and Lavender obviously did, but if it was a matter of research, then she had to do it.
Hagrid led her into the forest into a clearing where there was a wooden mare. He thumped it and the backside swung open to reveal a cavity large enough for Hermione to crawl into. "Yer jus' gotta go in. Slip yer things off."
Hermione pulled off her robes and then her underwear and put her hands into the hollow frame shaped like a mare. Then suddenly she thought of Ron. What she was about to do was final. She hesitated.
"Don' yer want ten outta ten for yer project?" asked Hagrid.
Hermione gritted her teeth and clambered into the frame of the mare and Hagrid slammed it shut so that she was trapped inside. It was so cramped that she was forced to crouch, her sex pressed against an aperture in the underside of the wooden beast. There were two small holes which she could see out of. Hagrid left the clearing and she saw a full grown unicorn stallion, gleaming silver in the sunlight, coming towards her. He nuzzled the wooden mare and Hermione gasped as she saw his huge, quivering member – the size of a horse stallion's. She trembled in anticipation as the unicorn mounted the wooden mare and then screamed as the colossal unicorn member was thrust into her…
