Luna shivered as the ghostly wind that seemed to always fill the Forbidden Forest wafted around her. She hadn't been able to sleep. The atmosphere within the Ravenclaw tower had ensured that she was uncomfortable within the tower as everyone else had gathered into their groups of friends, of which she had none, to study or just talk.
No one was ever interested in what she had to say. All they ever did was laugh at her, and wonder how she had ever managed to be sorted into Ravenclaw. Luna wondered why no one took her seriously despite the nargles that always flew near their heads. She had tried to tell them about the nargles on several occasions, but now she simply felt tired of it, of them.
It was fairly dark, but there was enough light to notice whether or not she would be walking into a tree or tripping over a root. It had become easy to foster a deep knowledge of the Forbidden Forest, especially with how often Luna ended up exploring it to escape the whispers of the rest of her House.
Luna doubted even the Weasley Twins had entered as many times as she had. She simply never got caught. Ravenclaws were expected to be responsible, and everyone believed that if they were out of bed they would be in the library. No one would think to find her in the forest.
Something soft brushed her hand, and Luna nearly jumped, allowing a startled breath leave her. There was never anything near Luna as she wandered the forest, and she had never expected to meet any creature: most stayed away from her heavy footsteps, scared by her very presence.
The soft silver coat nearly glowed in the dim light, and Luna lost her breath again, but this time in awe. The tumultuous chaos of her previous emotions lost as the unicorn nuzzled her hand eagerly.
Luna could do nothing but comply to the beautiful creature's request.
