 Wowza!
And then the unicorns and professor Morgan arrived, and Willow took an automatic -albeit little- step back. Sure unicorns were very lovely-looking, but that didn't mean the fifth year wanted to get close to them.
She did not want to die. She was only sixteen years old, for crying out loud.
Right. Perhaps Willow was being a drama queen, because the girl was sure that Professor Morgan would not let any of her precious creatures to touch her -or bite, kick, or whatever it was that unicorns did to defend themselves- but she still didn't want to get any closer. It wasn't like willingly touching an animal was something she did on a daily basis. Heck--the Ravenclaw forgot she had an owl half of the time!
Well, hopefully the would just have stare at them.
Riiiiiiight.
Taking a deep breath to steady herself as Morgan instructed that they would have to touch the cratures, Willow nervously started to twirl one dark strand of hair around her fingers.
. . . Of course they are aggresive, woman! They are animals. Willow wanted to tell the professor as soon as she explained that they could indeed defend themselves -or attack for no reason, really, for the girl was sure they would start to do that at any second- and that they should be careful.
Careful. Right. She could do that. As long as the thing didn't bite her, she would be fine--and so would the unicorn, of course, for Willow would definitely bite back if one of the creatures decided they wanted to see if she a good taste or not.
Tucking the strand of hair she'd been playing behind her left air, and shoting the male Hufflepuff prefect -who was now standing by her- a quick glance, Willow slowly went to stand in line with the rest of the girls that were part of this class.
Good thing she wasn't first. And as far as she was concerned, all the girls that had yet to join them could go ahead and touch and talk (she was NOT going to talk to a unicorn) to the creatures before her. Perhaps if that happened, the class would end before her turn to get closer to the unicorns arrived.
She crossed her fingers for that to happen.
