The forest was as lush as he remembered it, large trees blotting out the crescent moon hanging in the sky. Footsteps thudded softly through the air around him as he walked on his cane indenting the ground beneath him. The soft coo of an owl filled his ears as he parted through a hedge into the large clearing. There it was standing by the lake its tounge lapping at the water gently. Its fur a gleaming white and the horn atop its head sharp and dangerous. A shiver ran through his body. The unicorn was amazing, everything he'd hoped to see when he came out tonight. It made the past months not so dreary and dark. Almost made everything he'd done worth it.

He stepped forward pulling the gloves from his fingers and let his fingers brush over the wildflowers growing around him. Times had been so hard lately. Draco was rebelling and Narcissa had taken the manor in Wales with the divorce. He sighed letting cold air circling around him as he sunk to his knees, mud caked his pants but he couldn't be farther from caring. He shut his eyes and let the stress wrack his body.
