Hadrian bounced along the path accompanied by Pugsley, Wednesday, Neville, and Thing. Thing scuttle ahead of them as a scout for danger. 

"Which way is the Wiggentree?"

Neville laughed and pointed down a mushroom lined path. 

"Right down there."

Hadrian ran down the path, too excited to hear his siblings yell for him. In Hadrian's haste, he tripped over a upturned root and tumbled down a hill. He only stopped when his arm slammed against a rock.

"Oowww."

Hadrian clutched his arm, and looked around him with small tears in his eyes. It was really dark. The only light was from where he fell from. 

"H-hello? Wednesday? Pugsley? Anybody?"

Hadrian was scared. He never liked to be alone. He stood up and used a broken branch as a crutch. A howling noise sounded from further in the forest. Hadrian pulled his wand out and limped toward the sound. He grew even more terrified when he saw a hooded figure hunched over a dying unicorn. 

"G-get aw-away from her!"

Hadrian shot a cutting curse at the creature and fell backward from the force. From the pained sounds from the creature, he knew he hit his mark. Hadrian slowly crawled to the uniform and pulled his bottomless bag from his pocket. 

"Accio Wiggenweld potion. Accio Dittany."

The two bottle soared into his hands. He applied the Dittany the the open wound and fed the weakened unicorn the healing potion. 

"Accio Blood Replenishing potion."

He fed that potion to the unicorn as well.

"Are you okay now?"

The unicorn was now in a resting position on it's legs, staring into, presumably,  Hadrian's soul. 

"Back home, there's a herd of unicorns. They don't have your pretty white coat though. The have sleek black coats with bright silver horns."

Hadrian kept babbling about the magical creatures back home. The unicorn noticed his arm turned purple and his lower left leg swelling. It lifted it's leg and gnawed on it until a small cut formed. It then forced Hadrian's head down to drink its blood. Hadrian struggled and threw himself back. His arm and leg were healed sure, but he drank unicorn blood. 

The unicorn huffed and pressed it's horn to Hadrian's shoulder. Underneath his sleeve, a silvery crescent moon formed. Aft that, they heard a pair of voices getting closer. The unicorn took out in a blur. 

"Hadrian!"

Severus and Bill stood near some trees with a light blue floating light next to them. 

"Thank you Blue Flame."

Bill thanked the floating creature as Severus checked Hadrian over frantically. Hadrian noticed, and smirked at the snake-like engagement ring with three emeralds. 

"Dad is going to storm the halls of Hogwarts when Wednesday writes to them about the engagement."

"I am well aware, are you hurt?"

"No Uncle Sev, I'm okay."

Severus sighed in relief and lifted Hadrian into his arms. 

"Blue Flame could you lead the other three children out of the forest? We can handle ourselves from here."

"Very well, but try not to let these children back into this place."

"We'll try, no promises."

The Will O' Wisp Faerie floated through the trees and disappeared. Hadrian yawned and Fell asleep in his Uncle's arms. When he woke up he was in his room in the Slytherin dorms. Draco and Blaise were already sleeping, so Hadrian shrugged and went back to sleep.
