Draco's New Lover
Chapter 7: Unicorns and Horses
Draco looked around the room. He would very gladly pause this moment and stay here forever if he could. "Oh I almost forgot! We have to go and get the notes for the Hogsmeade trip!" Melissa broke his train of thought. "What?" he asked. "There's a Hogsmeade trip next weekend and I forgot to get the permission slip so I have to go and get one today so that Luke can sign it! Are you coming Draco?" She asked. "Oh yeah, I love the Hogsmeade trips!" She smiled, before adding, "I have to remember to pick up my dress! Oh I should probably owl them telling them that I will be picking it up" She mumbled more to herself then anyone else. "Well actually, we were going to go to Hogsmeade tomorrow, I can pick up your dress then if you like" Luke smiled at her and she nodded. "Luke that would be great, it would mean I could have it sooner, one of my fiends, Sarah, wanted t see it." Luke smiled at her. "Talking about this ball, you got a date yet?" He nudges her. Melissa shook her head. "What? You don't have a date! I'm shocked!" Luke said laughing and pulling his best-shocked face. "I've been asked by a few people but I haven't said yes, I'm waiting for someone to ask me, but if he doesn't do it before the time we go to Hogsmeade, I told Marcus, the captain of the Slytherin boys Quidditch team, that I would go with him."
Luke smiled. "I should've known better, you've always waited for one haven't you? The one who asks at the right time and does it in a huge goofy way!" He looked at Draco and smiled while raising his eyebrows in a 'do this and you'll get her for sure' way. Draco smiled awkwardly. Snape stood up. "I have a class I suppose I should get back to." Everyone nodded as the professor walked out. "Well actually, I have to go and do something" She looked at Luke and he grinned. Draco just looked at them confused. "Draco you can come with me, it's pretty exciting, even Luke would agree, I'll call you when it's done and you can bring her over!" Luke nodded and looked at Draco and smiled.
Draco followed Melissa as she led him to Hagrid's hut. She went and knocked on the door and was greeted by the large man. She looked at him earnestly and a hue smile broke out on his face. "I would love to see one, I've never really ever seen one of them before. I'd love to have one you know, honestly it's amazing that you do" She smiled and walked over to a clear patch and wolf whistled. She looked towards the dark forest as a large shape appeared. Draco thought it looked like horse but his eyes grew wide when he realized it had a horn.
"Is that a?" Hagrid looked at him and nodded. "Sure is my boy, a unicorn." The beautiful creature stepped out of the forest. Melissa walked over to it as if it were a horse and not a bloody unicorn! Draco just stood thee watching. "Hey there boy" The unicorn bowed its head to her and she placed a hand on the animals head. "Not today Comet" Comet looked up. Melissa went over and waved her hand over the animal and a saddle appeared, she petted the unicorn before mounting it. "Now Draco, you have 2 choices. I can either call Hunter, or you can ride Comet with me" Draco looked at her. "I've never actually ridden a horse before so I might stick with you" He said hesitantly. She nodded and waved him over.
Draco walked over to the unicorn and stood by its side. Melissa reached her hand down to Draco's and helped him up. She looked at Hagrid who was nearly eye level with them. "We'll be returning back here with two others and my two horses, and probably a large crowd" Hagrid smiled and nodded before Melissa headed off. They trotted at a nice pace until they were in the courtyard ad had a mass of students around them. They slowed down but kept moving forward. Lilly's face lit up as she saw her sister sitting upon a unicorn!
Melissa stopped the beautiful creature in front of her siblings and got off, helping Draco down as well. She took hold of the reins and moved the animal to stand in front if the child. They had gathered a very large crowd by this time and there were murmurs all around. Melissa went over to the young girl and whispered something in her ear. "Really? You mean I can ride it with Luke?" Melissa nodded and Lilly tugged on Luke's robes. He took hold of the young girl's hands and walked her over to the animal.
