"Harry, where are we going?" Hermione asked, giggling. "I thought we were going to lunch."
"We are," he replied. "We're just going a scenic route." Hermione rolled her eyes behind his back. "Don't do that," he scolded, winking at her over his shoulder. She kept quiet as he carried on leading her away, deeper into the forest.
She didn't complain until she'd tripped a fifth time. "Are we nearly there?" she asked, her head tilted back in frustration and her feet dragging; the pout on her face was the icing of the cake.
Harry chuckled at her impatientness, helping her over a large log before they entered a small clearing. It was beautiful, filled with nature and had this sunshine glow that wasn't overbearing.
"We're here," he pointed out, taking her to the picnic blanket that was set up in the middle. He sat beside her, feeding her the small finger foods that he'd managed to persuade Luna in making.
The snap of a twig was what startled them out of their little bubble. Their heads whirled round and they only relaxed when they noticed that it was a unicorn grazing, as if completely unaware that they were there.
"Oh, wow!" Hermione breathed, staring at the creature. As a child, she'd believed them to be real, as she grew up, she believed them to be mythical but since coming to Hogwarts, she knew that they weren't. "It's beautiful."
"It really is," he agreed, though his eyes were on her.
He watched as she slowly made her way to her feet, walking so slowly to the unicorn, in case she startled it. He was surpised the made it as close as she did; almost touching distance.
The unicorn stared at her, tilting his head curiously to the side as she reached a hand forward, ever so carefully. A whinnying sound in the distance caused a distraction and the unicorn gallopped away. Harry looked down at the bouquet of flowers that he was holding.
"That was the most amazing thing, ever," she giggled, ecstatic. "Nothing could top that."
Harry tossed the flowers away. "I spoke to Hagrid. Apparently this is a good hotspot for unicorn sighting."
"We have to come back," Hermione grinned. Harry smiled in agreement.
