Chapter 18: Unicorns
Salazar had just woken Harry up and were on their way to the dueling room where Godric, Remus and Merlin waited to explain about the elements. As they were walking down the dungeon corridor, they heard a hissing voice screaming for Harry.
*Harry! Harry! Harry stop! I need to tell you something!*
Turning quickly, Harry and Salazar saw Zachary slithering towards them.
*Quick, you have to come with me; something is attacking the unicorns in the forest! You have to help them!*
Exchanging a look, Harry and Salazar sprinted down the hallways. Once they were in the entrance hall, Harry transformed in Lightning and kneeled down next to Salazar. The man looked confused for moment, before jumping on Lightning's back. Getting up from his knees, the black unicorns teared down the front lawn and into the forest.
*If you want to help your kind lightning, you have to fly, or you'll be to late!*
*I know something quicker. Kid, listen closely. Take some power from the well, think hard about wanting to be with the unicorns, then let the shadows surround you and take you to them.*
Harry did what he was told and felt a soothing feeling surround him. He opened his eyes as the feeling left him and a pain filled shriek filled his ears.
*Good, now you need to change into my form, think about the look of it, the feeling of power around it and let the shadows change you.*
Ok, I'll try, but first Salazar has to get of my back.
Kneeling again, Lightning gave Salazar the sign to get of his back. Turning back to human form, Harry concentrated hard on the image of Damien and once again, he let the shadows surround him. He felt something gathering in him, a power so wild and strong, that Harry was scared he would loose control and hurt someone. His feelings must have shown, because his guardians once again reminded him that the shadows only did what he commanded.
Damien opened his eyes and looked around. The most interesting thing was that he could not see any color or shadows; he could only see auras of the creatures, white and black.
The unicorns had totally white auras and the things that were attacking them had black ones.
*Harry, quick help those poor creatures!*
*Yea kid, show us your worthy of the power that you have.*
Damien nodded and with a loud shout drew the attention of the dark creature to him. Jumping away from the unicorns, they quickly advanced onto him. They became nervous as the dark prince let the shadows play around him and allowed a bit of his power leak around him.
*Nice show kid, that will give you time to call my sword and me to tell you what those creatures are. Ok, just think about a silver sword with a black handle. It should come to you without any problems. Now, about those creatures. They are called Arens and are practicly the opposite of the unicorns. Their blood and tears kill you and they infuse your mind with dark thoughts until you become like them. The only way to kill them is to behead them or using the unicorn magic that you will have yet to learn. Because you are the prince of darkness, their power will have no effect on you. Enough talk now, go help the pure ones.*
Damien nodded to show that he understood and concentrated on the sword. After about a second, a silver and black sword was lying in his hand.
*The trick to kill them is to cut off their head before they get a chance to hurt you. They'll turn to dust after that.*
Like a Vampire after you stake them?
*Exactly. Now get going!*
Here goes nothing!
And with that Damien launched himself onto one of the creatures, cutting off its head with one clean swipe of his sword. The tone of the battle was set, and it was to be a gruesome one. Arens were biting, scratching and hitting Damien and the unicorns, but were loosing their head for it. Damien cried out in pain as one of the Arens jumped on his back and began to tear at the black wings on his back. Reaching back, he took hold on the creature's fur and pulled it over his head. Ignoring the pain, he and the unicorns bravely fought the rest of the Arens. Swinging his sword over his head, he beheaded two and mortally wounded another.
Suddenly he heard a loud shriek, he turned and watched as one of the dark creatures broke free and ran towards a young unprotected unicorn foal. The animal still had the gold color and no horn, so It must have been a new born.
Totally unprotected.
Damien thought and ran over to it, killing the Aren and herding the young one back to the others. Only five or do Arens were still alive and the unicorns had them subdued quickly. Looking through the rows of animals, he saw that there were no dead ones and the others were healed by the older unicorns.
A tap on the shoulder made him turn and look into the frantic eyes of a unicorn. Turning into lightning quickly, he heard the female's frantic voice.
/You must help my child, it was injured and we are not able to heal it! Please, help us!/
Of course, where is it?
/Over there by that tree. But you better change back to your human form, the young one has never seen a fallen one./
Of course.
Lightning turned back into a human and made his way to the tree, the mother by his side. Looking at the foal, he gasped. A gaping wound was ripped into its hind leg.
*You will need my staff for that Harry, just imagine it in your hand and you will know what do. You are a natural healer, let your instinct guide you.*
Thank you.
Closing his eyes briefly he imagined the image of the staff and soon felt its comforting warmth in his hand. Kneeling next to the unicorn, something came over him and he acted without even thing bout what he was doing. His hand passed over the wound and the soft spoken word "heal" made the wound knit it self back into an almost flawless patch of skin. A small red scar was visible, running over the wound in the shape of a lightning bolt.
(A/N: Nice stop ey? Naw, I am too nice to do that.)
Snickering, the young unicorn stood up and ran around him and its mother. The sharp snort of one of the older animals made it stop and approach Harry. It kneeled before the still sitting human and gently touched its head to his. Emotions fluttered through him and a gold and silver light made its way through their foreheads. After a while, something snapped in his mind and there was a feeling of comfort that Harry hadn't felt since his parents, made its way into his heart. The light vanished, and the unicorn laid down with its head in his lap.
/Thank you!/
Faint word reached his mind and he gasped, the young unicorn had talked to him without him even changing into lightning.
*You are probably the most lucky human I have ever seen kid, not every one gets bonded to a unicorn, and a stallion at that! They are usually very proud and independent. Right Blacky?*
*I told you not to call me that, but yes, Lightning is very lucky to have been bonded with the young stallion. He will be able to help him when Lightning goes back to the future.*
*Sure Blacky, everything you say!*
*I told you!...*
*As nice as it is to see how well you two get long, but there are more pressing matters. Like Salazar, who is just making his way over to you. And he looks mighty angry!*
But I didn't do anything!
*You endangered yourself?*
Ughhhh.

"I demand to know where he is!"
"There is nothing to tell Cornelius, because I do not know where he is myself at this moment."
"Liar! You know exactly where he is and I need to know so I can give the boy exactly what he deserves, a nice dark cell in Askaban!"
"There is no possible way, I would let you throw an innocent little boy into Askaban, even if I knew where he is. Now kindly leave this school before I throw you out!"
"We will talk again Albus, if I do not know where the boy is by Halloween, you can say good by to your loved school and Lucius ill take the position as Headmaster."
With that, Cornelius Fudge stormed out of Hogwarts and Albus Dumbledore sank warily in to his chair.
//Meanwhile in the dungeons://
"I miss him so much Sev, I wish that I at least knew that he is ok!"
Severus Snape sighted deep and circled his arms around his lover. If anyone would have told him a year ago, that he would fall in love with the man in his arms, there would have been some rather nasty curses thrown at the offending person. Smirking at the thought on Potters face when he finds out, Severus once again concentrated on calming down his lover.
"I wish I knew too, but Albus won't say a word about it, except that he is save, more save than he could ever be here. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"I know, but I won't believe it until I see him again."
"You will love, you will see him soon."
"I hope so."

Teshi: Thank you!
Ok, one more thing. If I see any more reviews about people saying that I should change the story because they don't like the pairing, I will delete them, every single one. If you don't like the story, too bad. But at least leave without making such a fuss about it.
