There was a unicorn hunt yesterday. It was pretty wizard, I've only ever seen Unicorns in books before. I thought it wood be more exciting than it was, but it was lots of waiting around mostly. The feast was good though!
Yeah, there was a lot of hurry up and wait before anything happened. I mean, I know the girls were all excited, but that was part of the trouble, wasn't it? A lot of squealing and giggling and grabbing your arm and babbling at you. Least that's what was happening in my part of the stands.
Did you have a very good view from where you were sat? I mostly saw the back of Percy's pointy head hat. And I didn't have any omnioculars even if I coulda seen round him and the others. Looked to me like the unicorn was just a silver horse with a horn tacked on, but Marvolo says it was really wizard up close.
Yeah our girls were all going a bit mental too, and I could'nt see much because we were quite far away where we were. But it was better than having to go to lessons, and its exciting to be at something that got talked about in The Prophit too. One of the sixth years in our house showed me the pictures at breakfast. Marvolo looked really embarused to be in the paper! I would think he was used to it by now, but I guess not.
