Chapter 7- Unicorn Blood

Snape sneered at Remus and the unicorn. So he had convinced it after all, well, he had to admit he was surprised. Dumbledore, on the other, didn't look the least bit surprised, he only smiled.

"I see you have convinced it, Remus." He then turned to the unicorn and bowed.

"I thank you for your assistance, it means a lot." He said smiling.

The unicorn nodded and then looked at Remus expectantly.

Remus looked up and nodded. He then led the unicorn to the Hospital Wing. Hermione still lay there with her eyes closed and breaths getting shorter.

The unicorn stepped up to Hermione and laid his head on her chest.

"I do not think I will have to use my blood with her. I have enough magic left to save her, but in doing so, I will die." The unicorn said in Remus's and Dumbledore's heads.

Dumbledore sighed.

"You do not have to do this." He said aloud.

The unicorn looked at Remus and said, "Yes I do, for a damned soul, I do."

His horn began to glow and he jabbed it into her chest. There was a big flash of light and a scream, and then everything was silent.

The unicorn lay on the ground, stiff as a board. Hermione's breathing had become normal and her face looked cleaned up.

Snape sneered at the dead unicorn and left the room. Remus looked at Hermione and began to sob. Dumbledore put a comforting arm around his shoulders and patted him on the back. He then left the two alone.

Remus slowly walked to Hermione's side and took her hand in his. The unicorn had disappeared, so there was no evidence that anything happened.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I love you Hermione Jean Granger, and always have."

He then got up and left the sleeping Hermione, at least, he thought she was asleep.
