A/N Hey, what about the reviews. I am going crazy. Write!!!
CHAPTER TWELVE - THE UNICORN
Julia opened the castle door slowly. It was late in the evening and the trip she planned was dangerous but she just had to know.
Few weeks ago their Care of Magical Creatures Professor showed them unicorns. They were beautiful, shining, strong and sensitive. Brave and powerful, but easy to hurt. The didn't like men, so girls only could touch them. When Julia did, she felt the strength flowing through veins.
She knew she had unicorn's tears inside her wand, something unusual and strange. Such wands were very rare and they didn't work properly in people's hands. But the wand (black oak and the tears inside) fitted Julia's small hand perfectly.
Julia had never had a chance before to touch a unicorn, but she was aware that such contacts could make her wiser and more powerful. Contact with such a good creature, so innocent could only help her to fight against the Dark.
She decided to leave for the Forest. Alone at night. She dressed herself in black robes and left the common room. She didn't know that somebody was watching her and decided to follow.
Sirius Black.
He saw her leaving the room so he went after her and followed her to the Forest. It was really dark. He had no idea what she was planning, but wanted to join. Her escapades were more mature than Marauders'. Always with a sign of thought. He was wondering what she wanted to do as he was spying her, seeing only the slightest light on her wand. Dreaming about her hair, her hands her voice.
He knew she only wanted to befriend him, although he'd never asked her about THAT talk. It wasn't easy but he tried to accept that. But he also wanted her to be safe. And now such a misbehaviour!
He suddenly stopped. He saw her touching silvery horse in a mist of secrets. The unicorn had a long, subtle twisted corn, flying tail and mane made of silver hair. He was amazed.
Julia touched the neck of the animal with her hand and gently moved it. The unicorn moved its head round and touched Julia's arm. She smiled. It knew. A gentle, revitalising stream flew across her body. She could stay there forever.
'God, you look so beautiful, both of you', Sirius stood few meters behind and spoke silently, almost whispered. Julia turned around, but wasn't flabbergasted. She stared at him for a while carefully. And smiled.
The unicorn at the sound of man's voice walked away but got back when Julia called it.
'Hmm, Black, what are you doing here', she said, without expostulating.
'I saw you left', he came closer and stood behind Julia now. The unicorn didn't run away. It even allowed Sirius to touch. Padfoot touched its mane, his hand touching Julia's. She didn't know whether the hot drift in her veins was caused by Sirius or by the animal. The unicorn's skin vibrated under their touch, it was more pleasant to it than Julia's single.
They didn't talk. They were just enjoying being together. After a longer while they heard a noise, not far away. Something like a roar, with a smell of sulphur and a fire in the air. Something like
'A dragon????', Julia asked slowly, looking into his eyes. They turned to other part of the opening. Behind the grass (shining in the moonlight) they saw a stream of fire and then a red, lucid coat. The dragon was approaching them, looking really angry. The unicorn looked afraid, but didn't move as if he wanted to secure the students. The fire was closer and closer. They could see the animal's bad, red eyes, staring madly at them. They knew they couldn't run on their heels, the monster was too fast. Sirius saw Julia's face in the light of red fire, calm but scared (if it's possible). He put his arm around her, still wondering what to do.
Suddenly the unicorn walked few steps away, moved hardly his head and pretended to run. Julia watched it amazed.
'Sirius, I think he wants us to ride on him!'
Sirius hesitated. Unicorn didn't like men. This animal could threw him away without a blink. But Julia approached the unicorn and gently got on his back.
'God! Quickly. I doubt whether we can run, but it's the last moment!', she shouted and he jumped behind her. The unicorn immediately moved and began to gallop as fast as it could. Sirius turned his head and met the dragon's eyes. Furious, mad, killing. The monster was speeding, the fire close behind them. Sirius felt like falling, so he put his arms around Julia and caught the unicorn's mane. It didn't throw him away!
The unicorn was speeding gently across the forest, between the close trees. The dragon followed.
Sirius, unexpectedly, found himself quite comfortable, sitting behind Julia, his arms around her, his face in her hair. Lapping Julia. A dream!!
Julia felt more wonderful than she ever thought she would. Smooth body of unicorn underneath, Sirius behind. She felt his strong, lean legs touching hers. His arms and torso holding her forever. His hot breath on her neck. I am going to faint in his arms, she thought. She shivered. Oh, God, why, why, why. She knew he noticed. He held her tighter, just by an accident.
It's silly, dreaming with the dragon following us so close. She wanted to ask, what the hell should they do, but he was the first.
'God, you smell so wonderfully', Sirius moaned into her ear. The scent of camomile, night and sea. He was almost senseless. She wanted to yell at him, but couldn't. He was so honest this time, so true. But had to think about the way out of the forest.
'Jill, remember the spell to hurt its eyes?', Sirius said thinking about how serious their situation was. 'I can't use my wand, I can't release my hands or I fall. But I can hold you', he grinned to himself, dreaming of his arm around her waist. 'and you will hit the creature with the hex!'
'Of course, eye-hurting curse!', Julia shouted. What a shame she hadn't thought about this before! 'So hold me Black, I don't want to fall.', she ordered.
He swallowed hardly and gently put his arm around her thin, like a wasp's. He pulled her harder: had to be sure she wasn't going to fall. She turned around and yelled the spell. It hit the dragon and it screamed loudly in the air. It stopped trying to move the spell away. The pain was terrible. The dragon groaned and walked away.
The unicorn didn't stop. Sirius didn't release Julia's waist. Julia didn't turn, her face still close to his. This moment could last forever, thought Julia when the unicorn suddenly stopped. Through the trees they could see the castle. The scuttle ended. The moment disappeared.
They got off the unicorn's back, still holding each other. The animal turned to them. It had an understanding, clever glance. Sirius could swear that it wanted to tell them not to screw this up.
Then it walked slowly away and disappeared in the forest.
Julia was breathing loudly. The atmosphere was hot and turbid. She slipped from Sirius' hug and smiled at him.
'Well, this wasn't an usual. meeting', she whispered slowly, still a little frightened. Thanks God I haven't said date. Why the hell doesn't he want to ask me out? Why this so cute, handsome guy wants to stay only my friend. She smiled but had no idea that he had same sad thoughts. Her cheeks were red (fear, flutter???), eyes were gleaming. He could do anything for her. Why she didn't want him!!?
'We should go, now', she said slowly and turned. Oh, she wanted to stay there forever. Both of them wanted. Both of them left for the castle.
