Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
Walking towards the transport to the castle the couple was astounded to see the marvelous winged beasts that led the carriages. They were large black horses with wings tucked onto their backs, and their all white eyes were hauntingly beautiful. Their visual cataloging of the magnificent creatures was interrupted as a lilting but dreamy voice said, “I see you’ve both finally noticed the Thestrals. They’re beautiful, aren’t they?”
Harry nodded and quietly replied, “If it is possible to describe death as beautiful, then yes they are.”
Luna merely nodded as Hermione thought aloud. “Thestrals, they can only be seen if you’ve witnessed death, right?”
Luna walked to Harry’s left pulling even with the couple as she answered, “You’ll find that there are many more things you can see in this world if you keep an open mind to them. I much prefer Thestrals to Unicorns; after all there aren’t a great many things more pure and natural than death.”
Harry swallowed thickly as he pondered Luna’s statement before offering his hand to help both Luna and Hermione into the carriage. As he climbed aboard the carriage himself Harry could only wonder what kind of tidings the year at Hogwarts would bring.
