Wow, Professor, Dawn asks, curiously, what do they eat, if anything."

"You'll get your chance to pet it later, everyone"

It's true what Skiving says; generally unicorns avoid humans, both muggles or of the wizarding kind, though still have a preference for witches and wizards... Would it let us pet it? :unsure:

*not sure if the professor heard her the first time she repeats:* "Is it a she o a he?"

"Ray is a male, Nadia. Ray will let you pet him under my direction and assurance.

Dawn, Ray doesn't need to eat much. He loves sugar cubes, but his diet mainly consists of Grass and Hay"

"Ok, do u bathe them, just wondering?"

Does he stay outside, or is he allowed in your house?

"He usually doesn't need bathing, but we live close to the lake, so it's not far. Yes, of course he lives in my hut, that's where he sleeps!"

How long have you had him for?

*Yayness!*

"I'm guessing Ray is loving Hogwarts," Nadia says smiling. "For one you cannot have a pet magical creature around in muggle areas so he wouldn't have the space to galopate and use his legs, for exercise. Besides here he can meet knew friends. Reminds me of... someone"

"I've had him for quite a while. 3 years, in fact. Yes, you can come to my hut and visit him, as well as my Phoenix."

(Stares at the unicorn in awe.)

How old is Ray?

(Professor answers.)

Oh. He looks strong...

"Ray loves it, as do I :) . Ray is 17 years old" he said

"do you have a phoinex as well? that's great. i hope you bring it one day in the class."

Is 17 old for a Unicorn, or do they live for a long time?

Oh, so then it's true Professor, unicorns are more apt to approache a female, rather than a male? If so, what are your views on that?

"I'm just teaching today. Professor Hendrik is your teacher. You can visit me at my hut to see my phoenix"

"Skiving, Unicorns do have very long lives. But 17 is an adolescent stage, just like humans"

"Dawn, that is just the way nature works. They do feel females more safe, but I really love Ray, just like he loves me. Ray's an exception to that rule"

Is it? Is it the average? So it's prety old, isn't he?

*Turn to rookwood* Actually we did Phoenix last term, I practically did a monography about them. Have photosw and everything. And we studied Professor Dumbledore's Fawkes along with a, err, *artificially made* phoenix.

*Nadia fell silent after that.*

Wow, that's extraordinary, so, are they only white, or are some other colours?

He is such a great creature, I have never met another Unicorn before, I have always wanted to though!!

"No, Nadia, 17 is not old at all. A 17 year old human isn't old. At this stage, neither is a unicorn"

"Dawn, foals are gold. Before reaching maturity, they are silver. Then for the rest of their lives, they are white."

And foals, are the female ones right? Do you know why this is, she asks interestedly.

Ups! Sorry, didn't hear the first time (ooc: didn't get to edit =P -- It's younger than real me! :lol: )

*Keeps staring at unicorn entranced* Oh, Mr Shrine, are you planning to end the lesson soon, because I still have more question. Or are you giving *us* questions?
