I had entirely relegated unicorns to the fantasy reading of my childhood until I read some well-written HP fan fiction like yours while employed them. Now I no longer unthinkingly dismiss them as a childish thing but see them in stories like this as the pure embodiment of magic, mystery and beauty :-) (I'm a bit confused about what people used to actually believe they looked like, after seeing a *gigantic* narwhale tusk in a museum which was once thought to be unicorn's horn. I would think that they'd overbalance!)
