Y/N and Malfoy continued down the path, and after a few minutes of walking, all they could see were just trees and bushes surrounding them from every direction.

Y/N felt trapped. But if Y/N was scared, Malfoy was on another level.

He was shivering in fear, while tightly holding   Y/N's hand. At some point, Y/N stopped.

Malfoy looked at him.
Malfoy: W-What is it? Have you found the unicorn?
He asked, his voice unnaturally high pitched.

Y/N turns around, looking at him.
Y/N: Malfoy, what the hell are you doing?
He asked. Malfoy blinked a few times.

Malfoy: What?
He asked in confusion. Y/N pointed to their hands.

Y/N: Let go of my hand. Your damn shivering hands are driving me insane.
He said in annoyance, glaring at him.

Malfoy blushed in embarrassment.
Malfoy: Sorry.
He said, letting go of his hand.

Y/N's jaw dropped.
Y/N: Are you the real Malfoy?
He asked.

Malfoy: What do you mean, of course I'm the real Malfoy.

He said.

Y/N: No, the real Malfoy would never apologize to someone.
He said. Malfoy rolled his eyes.

Malfoy: Whatever.
He just said, still blushing.

Y/N let out a sigh.
Y/N: I can't believe I'm going to say this... And to someone like him!
He thought, as he sticked his hand out.

Malfoy just looked at it.
Malfoy: What now? You want to slap me again?
He asked.

Y/N: Look, if it makes you feel better or safer, you can hold my goddamn hand.
He said.

Malfoy: Really?
He asked hesitantly.
Y/N: Just this once. Don't forget I still hate you.
He growled.

Malfoy's hand slowly reached Y/N's, as they both started walking again.

Soon after, they reached a clearing. They both stopped. That's when Malfoy paled.

There was a creature on the ground. It was pearly white. Y/N instantly recognized it as the Unicorn they were after. But bent upon it, stood a tall hooded figure.

Then, it suddenly turned his head towards them. In that exact moment, Y/N fell on the ground, blinded by pain, as his scar hurt.

It was as if his head was going to split into two. Malfoy just stood there, paralyzed and screaming in horror, as the figure started to move towards them.

Then, someone made it run away. Y/N's pain slowly started to fade away. It was getting more bearable, but he was still breathing heavily, and his scar kept pulsing.

He gave a thankful smile to the creature that had saved them. It was a centaur.
Firenze: Are you ok, Y/N Potter?
He asked.

Malfoy: Well, thanks a lot for caring about me, you know.
He said sarcastically.

Y/N tried to stand up, but he instantly fell on the ground again.

Y/N: Damn it.
He muttered under his breath.

Firenze lowered to his level, so that they could mount on his back.
Y/N: Thanks a lot.
He muttered, feeling weaker than ever.

Firenze: Do you know what's hidden in the school right now, Y/N Potter?
He asked. Y/N nodded.

Y/N: Yes. And we know someone wants to steal it.
He said.

Firenze: I'm sure you get it right?
He said. Y/N's eyes widened.

Y/N: Don't tell me... That under that hood-
He said, but Firenze cut him off.
Firenze: Do you know what happens if you drink Unicorn blood?
He asked.

Y/N: No.
He said.
Firenze: You gain immortality. But in the moment the blood touches your lips, you will live a cursed life. You have killed one of the purest things on earth. And there's no worst sin than that.
He said.

After a while, they finally reached Hagrid. They bid Firenze goodbye, and started walking back.

But in that exact moment, Y/N fell on the ground. Hagrid quickly lifted him up. Y/N curled in a ball into the Giant's arms.

Y/N: T-Thank you, Hagrid.
He muttered, before passing out.
