"Go barefoot. Wear blue. Above all, be polite to whomever or whatever you meet."
This Helga's Muggle mother had told her about seeking unicorns. Salazar was incredulous, Godric more politely skeptical. Rowena said, "Why not try it?" and turned Helga's dress blue.
Her feet were soft from smooth floors and shoes. In her girlhood they'd always been bare. Now she felt acutely every twig and pebble underfoot.
She let the woods guide her, followed a brook, a path where branches pressed on all sides but gave way ahead. One centaur frowned and walked away.
A unicorn breathed on her neck.
