Amour

Alexei strutted through the forest, blasting tree branches as he went by.  

He was so preoccupied by his own thoughts, so unresponsive to his surroundings he didn't notice the pair of crystaline blue eyes that were watching him from the shadows.  

"как это должно показать мастерство?" He scoffed, snapping a branch. How is this supposed to show skill? 

The eyes started forward, completely silent in step, adapted perfectly to the forest ground. 

"рыжая определенно съедается, не уверенная, что заставило ее думать, что она способна в первую очередь!" The redhead is definitely getting eaten, not sure what made her think she was capable in the first place. 

A huff startled him out of speech and he spun around, only just jumping out the way quick enough to not be impaled. 

"Блядь!" He cried, looking around for his fallen wand. Fuck. 

After a few second of scrambling, he finally came to his senses and got up, turning around. 

Stood royally, an ashen creature looked down on him, single horn protruding towards the sky. 

"Unicorn" He grinned, finally getting a grip on his wand. 

The creature stamped its hoof in frustration, because who was this human and why was he destroying her home?

"You must come with me now" He aimed his wand at her. She saw this and gave an organised neigh of disapproval, not at him, but more around him. 

"Lacero!" He smirked, a long whip-like string of magic came from his wand, latching round the Unicorns neck. 

She cried in a surprisingly agonising way, making Alexei's ears ring slightly, though that didn't stop him pulling on the rope from his wand. 

As he started dragging the restrained animal towards an opening by the edge of the forest, a series of twig snaps made him stop again. 

He dared to turn around and came face to face with what had to be an entire herd of angry looking Unicorns.

"Uh" 

Sirius was still searching, boredom getting the best of him as he started to hum along to a Queen song. 

"hm hmm killer queeeen hmm hmmm dynamite with a laser beaaam" 

Despite what you might think, Queen was pretty popular in France, especially with Sirius. He loved how the music made him feel, like he was floating and nobody expected him to get down. 

I wonder how Lily is getting on? That Acromantula looked pretty nasty.....eh she's got it! 

I hope the Unicorn stabs Alexei right where it hurts. 

Sirius winced slightly at the thought, taking a seat on a rock. 

Might as well stay put, see if a death horse walks by. 

He started singing again, taping the top of his shoe on the ground as he looked up at the sky "Just like Mary Antionetteee, a built in remedy, for Khrushchev and Kennedyyy" 

You'd be surprised, Sirius knew most of the words off by heart, language barrier forgotten when it came to song lyrics. He might not know what the words mean, but he could definitely pronounce them, accent only warping the words slightly. 

"At anytime an invitation you can't decliiiine. Caviar and ciggarettes, well versed in etiquet" 

This went on for a few more verses until he stopped, consumed by thought.
