Prompt: Unicorn
Again, thanks to the Mod of this challenge for keeping it going! Here's to many more to come!
And, thanks as always, to everyone who participated - writing, reading, voting. I'm thrilled to still see the Dramione love going around!

"What the fuck is a UNICORN? Aside from a four-legged beast that eats virgins."
Hermione rolled her eyes at her co-worker's predictable snark. "They do not, and it's U.N.I.C.O.R.N. It stands for UNIform Code Of Risky Negotiations. It's the standard for magical creature arbitration. Didn't you read your employee handbook?"
Malfoy sneered. "You mean that tome of tiresome regulations you left on my desk? Obviously, not."
"Tiresome?!"
"You prefer tedious?"
"Okay, fine." With a sardonic smile, she opened the door… to introduce the Egyptian Sphinx, Draco's first ambassadorial challenge. "Enjoy winging it."
Malfoy swallowed his tongue.
"I'd prefer a unicorn."
