DISCLAIMER: I own nothing to do with either Harry Potter or Unicorns of Balinor. I make no money off this.
AN: The beginning of another story. Sorry but this has been bouncing around in my head for awhile and I really want to see where it goes. BTW if anyone has any ideas for my other stories, just tell me either in a review or a PM I am at a dead spot in a lot of them.
Chapter one
Harry knew he was dreaming.
He was standing in what looked like a beautiful courtyard surrounded by walls made of a beautiful white stone that seemed to touch the rainbow that he could see crossing the sky, on each wall was a different colored painting depicting different things; many of the pictures where scenes of different creatures interacting with each other, others where portraits of what looked like loving families.
Usually being so surrounded would make him very nervous, but something about this place made him feel safe, loved. He smiled and turned in a circle, taking in the site of the large castle. He was surrounded by flowers of many colors and kinds, each one more lovely then the one beside it.
'I never want to wake up from this dream.'
Harry giggled and ran from the middle of the courtyard to the edge, just so he could run around the edge. He stopped short when he ran into a door he hadn't noticed before. It was several feet taller than him, made of dark wood. It had two horses up on their hind legs, pawing at each other. One was a bright bronze color while the other looked like it had been carved from the moon it was so silver. Harry thought they looked like they were fighting at first glance, but when he looked closer, he saw that there was two children staring at the creatures and smiling.
Harry stared with wide eyes when he noticed something he had missed before. They weren't horses, they where unicorns. 'Now I know I'm dreaming. Unicorns aren't real.' Harry sighed sadly, Unicorns where his favorite fairytale creature.
A loud noise coming from behind him made him jump and twist around, scooting back until his back hit the painting he had been staring at. He gasped when he saw what was behind him. It was a beautiful unicorn, colored with a mixture of different purples.
"H…Hello."
~Hello young prince. ~
Harry jumped when he heard the bell-like voice in his head. "W…was that you?"
The unicorn made a sound that Harry just knew was laughter. ~Yes, little prince. It was I. ~ Harry watched the Unicorn walk towards him, the only thing keeping him from bolting was the kind look in her eyes.
"Why are you calling me that? I'm not a prince."
The Unicorn snorted, ~you will soon see the truth little prince, that I can truly promise you, Little Prince. ~
Harry struggled to stay asleep as the courtyard and unicorn started to fade around him. "Wait, what's your name? What do you mean?"
The sound that came from the creature made Harry smile. ~You may call me Atalanta, Little Prince. I will see you soon. ~ That was the last thing he heard before the dream completely disappeared and he woke up to the cupboard he had always know. The sound of his sigh echoed through the dark space.
'I wish that hadn't been a dream.'
