A/N- I finally have time to write again. Sorry it took me so long, but with band and everything else going on, it has been hard. But, here is the next chapter, as always, read, enjoy and review.
Remus rushed into Dumbledore's office and looked him in the eye.
"Albus, there has to be a way to save her!" he cried.
Dumbledore's expression was grave; there was no happy twinkle in his eyes this time.
"Remus I am truly sorry, but the only way would be to give her unicorn blood, and that as you know, has risks." Dumbledore replied.
Remus fell to his knees. This wasn't right, even if Hermione had wished to die, he couldn't let her, no matter what the risk.
"I must try and save her and if that is the only way, then we must try it." He said with tears in his eyes.
Dumbledore saw the pain in his eyes, the fear of losing another one who is dear to him. He sighed and looked at him.
"Then you must go into the forest and persuade a unicorn that her life is worth saving. Then bring it back here and we shall see what we can do. Remus, don't forcefully take the blood, that would condemn Hermione." He said.
Remus stood up and thanked him. He then rushed to the forbidden forest. He sniffed and could smell a unicorn near by. He took a deep breath and followed the scent. He found himself standing before a large unicorn with a silver horn, which was odd because they were usually golden. He bowed and looked the creature in the eyes.
"I need your help, oh protector of unicorns. I have a friend who is in need of blood, or she will die." He explained.
The unicorn stared at him and then spoke to him in his mind.
"And what makes her life worth saving, my friend?" the soft gentle voice asked.
Remus had to think quick, simple reasons would not due.
"She is the most intelligent witch Hogwarts has seen in a long time. She has been through a lot and was not happy with her life, of course, if you were abused you wouldn't be either. That's not the point though; she deserves a chance at a second life, a better one with someone to care about her. Please, I beg you, help her." He pleaded.
The unicorn still showed no emotion.
"Very well, I will help, as long as I know that you will be the one who cares and loves her, since you really do. Take me to the child and I shall do all I can." The voice replied.
Remus could have cried with joy. He led the unicorn back to the castle and into the hospital wing. Dumbledore and Snape were waiting for them.
