Summer Camp Cabin of the Unicorn Closed

Summer Camp... Annabelle Wolfe could not have been more excited. Her heart raced and her hands shook as she packed away the last of her school supplies. "Goodbye textbooks!" the Gryffindor declared happily. "Goodbye pen and quill and awful black robes!" As much as Annabelle loved Hogwarts, she had to admit that she could have done without the robes. She adored baggy clothing as much as the next person with any shred of sanity, but the heavy black silk had not exactly been the most comfortable material to run from class to class in. The lack of uniform requirements was one of the many reasons she was so ecstatic over the summer event.

It had taken quite a bit of convincing on her part for her parents to let their little girl stay away for another month, but she had promised to keep sending owls home every day. Anna loved her parents. She loved her brothers and her dogs and her Muggle friends. Yet she had to admit that in all the time she had spent at Hogwarts this past year, she had never once felt homesick. This place was just so... well, magical! From the ghosts that wandered the hallways to the chess boards with talking pieces, her new school never ceased to amaze her. Not to mention her fellow students! There were a few bullies here and there that had chided her for her Muggle-born status, but for the most part Annabelle had had the pleasure of meeting kind and ambitious students whom she had quickly befriended.

The young socialite loved to hang out with her friends of course, but she had been struggling to keep up with everything as of late. It had been quite a busy year for her. Not only did she have the required courses to attend and loads of homework, but she had founded a drama club, written and edited for the Gryffindor newspaper, and even managed to become a Prefect! She'd gotten up to quite a few hijinks as well. Despite her terror of letting down her teachers an fellow students, Annabelle had stayed out exploring far too many a night. She had even gone to detention once, though she preferred not to talk about it. Now it was finally time to kick back and relax.

Anna looked herself over in the mirror. This would be her first time setting out without her Hogwarts robes in an entire year, and she was determined to look fabulous. Of course, her idea of "fabulous" may have been a bit different from the standard. She wore baggy cargo shorts which seemed to have a million pockets (mostly stuffed with various candies) and ties at the end so that she could adjust them to hold to her legs. Growing up in the Muggle world, Annabelle has despised the fact that girls' pants were so rarely made without decent pockets. Where else was she supposed to keep all of her sweets!? Her yellow tank top hung loose on her as well in spite of the fact that it was an extra small size. Regardless of her awful eating habits, the almost-skeletal girl had an insane metabolism. If it were not for her constant smile and colorful complexion, people would think her to be sick. The bright yellow color of the shirt did not help with this impression, but Anna loved her top. It bore a picture of a cute unicorn surrounded by envious-looking ponies. In large, blocky text it read "Never Forget How Special You Are." "Special" seemed to be the girl's lucky word this year. After all, a muggle-born like her discovering that she had magical abilities? That was pretty special.

She looked herself over once more and nodded confidently. Time to get this started. As she exited the Gryffindor Common Room for the last time that school year, she waved a cheerful goodbye to the painting on the door. That painted woman had been the bane of her existence every time she had felt like doing some nocturnal exploring, but right now she was far too excited to focus on silly grudges. It was time for summer camp! Anna had always loved camping... building fires, eating s'mores, staring up at the stars... and she could only imagine how much more amazing it was going to be with magic involved.

Cabin of the Unicorn

Annabelle looked down at the directions to her new forest home. There was another great reason to wear this shirt today! The happy child couldn't think of a better group to be put in. After all, unicorns were some of her favorite animals. Although she was already eleven (a large number to the intrepid first-year), Anna considered herself to be a child at heart. While she had a tomboyish appearance and attitude, she was still as much a little princess as any young girl dreamed of being. Deep inside of here lay a love for sparkles, cute things, and of course, unicorns! Admittedly she had gotten overly-excited when she had found out that they actually exist. Heck, she had almost dropped her textbook.

There was a positive skip in Annabelle's step as she followed the directions to her cabin. The place looked a bit small and run-down, as one would expect from a wooden structure in the middle of the woods. Above the door hung a sign with carefully painted cursive letters: Unicorn. Anna inhaled the fresh air, eager to begin her summer adventure. She imagined the cabin would be tight-packed, with bunk beds and sleeping bags to keep the kids warm at night. That image did nothing to prepare her for what she found inside.

"Oh my god..." Her jaw dropped as she stepped through the door. The place was massive. So massive in fact that it could not possibly be the same building that she had just been looking at. The floor was covered in a plush carpet, and the wood of the walls was impeccably clean. None of the usual spider webs and carvings of "X was here" that one would expect to find in a summer camp cabin were anywhere to be found. In the center she could see a large couch area complete with a real fireplace! On the whole it looked more like a mansion than a cabin. In the center of the middle couch sat Professor Cazarez. Best. Teacher. Ever.

"Thanks Professor Cazarez!" Annabelle beamed, her excitement plastered across her face. He instructed the students to select a room for themselves, and Annabelle immediately bolted up that stairs. Apparently this tiny cabin somehow had multiple floors. Magic camp was becoming more and more awesome with each passing moment. She headed up the staircase, hoping to find a room with a great view. One of her favorite camping pastimes was looking up at the stars, and a room on the top floor would allow her to do just that! That is, if they had windows...

The room that she found for herself atop the staircase was beyond her wildest dreams. The walls were painted rainbow, and her bed was absolutely divine. The room itself was about twice the size of the one that she shared with her little brother back in her Muggle house. She had a skylight she could stargaze through! And atop her new bed lay the most amazing thing she'd seen all day: A GIANT STUFFED UNICORN! Annabelle squaled at the top of her lungs, unashamed of her girlishness. It was ADORABLE!!! The young Gryffindor leaped onto the bed, tackling the plushy creature. As soon as she laid hand on it, letters began to engrave themselves on its back. Annabelle Wolfe. "Okay!" The Prefect declared loudly. "This is officially the best cabin!"

Anna practically flew down the stairs, still clutching the stuffed animal to her chest. She hadn't felt this excited since her first day at Hogwarts. No matter what this camp held in store for her, it was bound to be an amazing adventure! She ran to the couches, taking a seat by one of the arms. Her leg shook as she tried her best not to look impatient. Surely the other students would be down here soon and Professor Cazarez would kick things off. Anna could not wait to get started.

Una gathered her clothes and things from her area of her dorm in Hufflepuff. She stuffed nearly 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡𝒉𝑖𝑛𝑔 of hers into a large, hefty Louis Vuitton suitcase, which had wheels at the bottom end and the trademark L and V. Since it would simply be too much of a nuisance to fly all the way back to Berlin just to stay there for two months, Una had decided to sign up for the Hogwarts Summer Camp! She had Owled the Dichmann Manor prior to say that she would be staying at Hogwarts during the Summer Holidays, but she would definitely be back in Berlin for the Winter holidays of her second year. 

The suitcase had gained a ton of weight by now, which mostly meant Una would have to begin heading down to her new home for a few months - the Cabin Of the Unicorn - over in the grounds. Out of her pocket Una pulled her wand and aimed the tip at her Louis Vuitton suitcase. "Wingardium Leviosa," she announced, swishing and flicking. She began walking out into the Common Room backwards, the suitcase hovering in the air. Out she went into the Hogwarts halls, and then into the courtyard. Now that Una had reached the outdoors, she controlled the suitcase to land on the grass. Una pulled the handle out and dragged it along behind her as she travelled to her cabin. In all honesty, once she had seen it, Una did not think her suitcase would fit inside the cabin. She wouldn't be surprised if it would have to be left outside the whole trip. 

All of the cabin was a light wood, and it smelled new and in mint condition. It was relatively small, much like the others alongside it. Una pushed through the door, bracing a heavy sigh, but it had been cut short when Una looked around at the interior. She should have guessed - this is the Wizading World, after all. It was rather spacious and generous. Many rooms, and it seemed like an ample cottage, or a small, yet humble, house. In front of Una stood the famous and fascinating Professor Cazarez, he announced something about choosing your rooms, blah blah, upstairs or downstairs, blah blah. Una squealed and used the Levitation Charm once more on her suitcase to haul it up the stairs. She dragged it to her chosen room, and squealed once more. There was no itchy bunk beds, or small rooms; it was all comfortable large beds, and equally large beds. And plush unicorns! Unicorns were most definitely Una's favourite animal - it ran through the Dichmann children's blood. Yet again, there was more squeals coming from Una. She set her suitcase on her bed and gave her plushie unicorn a quick, tight squeeze before rushing back downstairs - just as Professor had ordered - for a meeting

School was finally out and Amadea couldn't have been more elated. While she loved everything about Hogwarts, she knew she wasn't going to miss the loads of homework they received on a daily basis or frantically trying to navigate through the always changing corridors. It was a relief to be done with school. 

Of course, there was still summer camp. Amadea had signed up for it for multiple reasons. Mostly, she just didn't want to leave Hogwarts behind. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and the people were even more beautiful, both inside and out. Amadea also didn't really want to go back home. She hadn't been home since winter break and things hadn't been the best during that time. It had only gotten worse since. Kat still wouldn't talk to Amadea and Amadea refused to apologize because she had done nothing wrong. It was the silliest argument over the silliest thing, but Amadea wasn't going to back down. Plus, there was that whole issue with her parents getting divorced.

She still hadn't talked to either of them about it. She had only found out in a short note brought to her by an owl that looked anything but happy to be delivering the message. To sum it all up, Amadea's family relationships were quite tense. Thankfully, there was camp to take her mind off things and prolong the inevitable destruction waiting for her when she finally did arrive home. Amadea had no doubt that Hogwarts's summer camp would be nothing but fun. After all, it was a magical school so the activities that were planned were probably amazing! Plus, Amadea had never attended a camp before, not even a Muggle one. Even those types of camps seemed to have wonderful activities that Amadea would have loved to partake in. Now with magic in play, the possibilities seemed almost endless. 

She had randomly signed up for a cabin, not really paying attention to who else was in the same one, but she hoped one of her friends would be there with her. She had made so many good relationships after only one year of schooling and Amadea wanted nothing more than to spend the entire summer building on them. Hopefully she would be able to do that at the camp! She had been put into the Cabin of the Unicorn, which seemed quite magical and happy to Amadea. Unicorns were wonderful creatures (from what she had learned) and she would be happy to represent one at camp. 

She headed across the Grounds, trying to find the cabin through the haze of smoke that was wafting from the bonfire still. Once she had located the correct cabin, she walked toward it, inspecting it. From the outside, it looked like any normal log cabin, but the minute she stepped inside, her breath was taken away. Professor Cazarez must have performed some sort of magic spell on the place, as the inside stretched on and on, much larger than what it had looked like from the outside. The beds were all separated and each one had a small section next to it, leaving room for everyone to put their things. To top it all off, there was a plush unicorn sitting on each one of the beds with each camper's name embroidered onto it. 

Amadea found the bed with her unicorn on it and set her trunk down next to the bed. Then she headed over to the couches as Professor Cazarez had instructed. There were two girls already there, though Amadea didn't recognize either of them. Oh well, she thought. This was just another chance for her to meet new people. Plus, not everyone had arrived yet. Maybe there would be more people that she did know. As she plopped down onto a couch, she smiled at everyone. "Hi everyone!" she said cheerfully, surprising herself with her own perkiness. She supposed she was just very excited for the camp to begin! 

The best thing about this Hogwarts summer camp was definitely the lack of a dress code. Denim shorts, loose and flowy tank tops, flip-flops, and snapbacks... classics every American needed to have in their closets. Walking into the Cabin of the Unicorn, it was honestly like walking into paradise. It's bigger on the inside... the cabin would certainly be a fitting TARDIS, to say the least.

There were multiple floors- that was a big thing. Plus, individual rooms, which was fantastic. Seriously, paradise. A first floor room would be basic, so Ami trudged upstairs, searching for a nice little room to occupy. Sticking her head inside one of the rooms, she found it to be empty, and the rest of her body followed her head soon after. Dumping all of her crap in one corner, Ami noticed the unicorn sitting on the bed, and smiled. Professor Cazarez certainly knew how to have a little fun, and Ami examined the plush with interest, noting her name embroidered onto it. Aw, sweet.

Pulling a light sweater over her arms, Ami shut the door to her room, clomping down the stairs, her flip-flops loudly announcing her presence. Amadea was already there, for which Ami was extremely grateful- landing in the same cabin as one of her closest friends was a miracle she could only hope for. Plopping down on the couch next to her redheaded friend, Ami studied their professor slowly.

Professor Cazarez. They'd met, twice, once at Dueling Club and once when Ami went to him for help. He was alright, she'd manage- at least he had gone through this enormous effort to make the students feel at home. Settling into the couch, Ami leaned forward, eager to hear what the man had to say.

Lucia walked into the Cabin and looked at the beauty of the rainbow walls and saw the table in the middle filled with snacks. She now felt like she chose the right cabin to be in. She went and found her room which had a huge lofty bed with a unicorn plushie. She walked over picking it up. She was still wearing the hood of her cloak. She read Lucia Silver written on the belly of the plush. She smiled at knowing for sure it was her room.

She saw the dresser at the other end of the room across from the bed she waked over to it and put her clothing away. She then walked over to a desk in the room and set her art bags on it. She took the hood of her cloak off after closing the window of her room. She had one on the second floor of the cabin. She then walked out of her room closing the door before heading down to talk to some of the girls below.

She came and sat at one of the couches when she saw a familiar face. IT WAS ANNABELLE! of course she would be the one to get a giant plush of a unicorn Lucia though looking at her. "Hey Annabelle!" She said calmly wearing her cloak with the hood off. She smiled waiting to see Annabelle's reaction to the cloak.Lucia got tried of waiting and grabbed a book from her room and returned to the bonfire.

The boy smelled of smoke and ash. Enough to make you cough if you got too close. Enough to make you stop and wonder...what was that? Who is he? What and who?

Anatole Evans, after the opening bonfire. At times, he had gotten too close to the blaze. Not enough to catch any lick of a garment on fire, but enough to have smoke follow him wherever he trailed.

And the pain of it is that Anatole noticed the odd stench himself. ”Gah…” He muttered in bland response after inhaling a whiff of his blue and gold zip-up sweatshirt. Gross, eh?

The boy’s small hands had grasped the knob to this so-called “Cabin of the Unicorn”, a supposedly normal shack (like all the others). He swore there was screaming on the inside---of bloody murder or incessant joy? Either seemed plausible. Professor Cazarez must have had something up his sleeve.

So. This is what he had in mind? Bright cerulean skies, rainbows arcing over the beds...and...did he see glitter, or was he hallucinating? It was...not what he expected. A couch area, a locked door, and a set of stairs? This was a fantasy.

Well, every twelve-year-old girl’s fantasy. Sadly, Anatole didn’t fit the criterion.

”You must be kidding,” The Gryffindor boy muttered under his breath, finally noticing the stuffed unicorn plushes on the bed. Pink. Great. This would be a fun couple of weeks.

Anatole followed the Professor’s bidding, moseying past the couches until he came upon a happy blue unicorn in a sea of pink and rainbow. On its stomach read his first name, embroidered sweetly, but too perfect to be human. It was soft...and Anatole hated to say that he liked it.

Of course, not as much as the other screaming girls, but it had to do.

He lugged his belongings up the stairs before hauling them onto the mattress with a sigh. He was surrounded by girls, yes, and they would all introduce themselves to him sooner than later, but as for now, there was business to be done. With a subtle nod, Anatole smiled and waved to his fellow Gryffindor Prefect, Annabelle. ”Hey!” Making sure his belongings were secure, the boy sprinted down the stairs, skipping the last two and diving onto a couch. It wouldn’t hurt to act jubilant.

But all Anatole wanted was a shower.

Lizzie steps into the cabin, almost blinded by the blast of colours that hit her eyes ”wow” she explained looking around the room her eyes locking in with the snack table before walking over to one of the rooms that looked like bubble gum had exploded all over it,placing her bags down while looking around the room Untill her eyes meet with the amazing unicorn which sat on her bed

”this. Is. Amazing” lizzie said while squeezing her unicorn ”I hope I get to keep you” still squeezing her unicorn she got up to explore the cabin, a lot of the others had already found there bed but a few there still empty i wonder who is gonna be here” she thought

Lizzie looked around the room trying to find something that was of nurtal eyes but failed to do so ”he really out did him self didn’t he” she sighed, she walked back over to her make shift room and placed her new found friend back on the bed ”there you go little guy...girl.....” she said confusing her self while she spoke

As Lizzie went to the cabins door which was painted rainbow just like the rest of the room as she went to open it a burst of green shoot in her eyes ”oww” she said as she just stood outside the cabin with the green from the outdoors attacking her eyes

Lorelai was mostly just glad that she was one-seventh of the way through school. Sure, she loved this new magical world she had found, but she wanted to go explore it without the constant supervision. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to attend the summer camp that Hogwarts was offering at first. She was a little homesick after all. However, she wanted to still be able to see her friends, and this would kind of be like how school usually was but without the boring stuff, right? Sounded good to Lorelai. Plus she didn’t have to wear those obnoxious school uniforms anymore. It took at least ten letters back and forth to convince her mom to let her attend camp. Her mom agreed eventually, but the girl knew she wasn’t very happy about it. But it was fine, she would write letters home, and be back for Christmas.

That day she was able to wear her regular non-school outfit which was usually a t-shirt and jeans. Lorelai wore a pair of (unintentionally) ripped jeans and a navy t-shirt. She excitedly ran up to the cabin, which seemed pretty small. Lorelai didn’t mind, she had assumed the quarters would be close, although she wasn’t looking forward to it. Upon entering she noticed that it was much bigger inside than it appeared from outside. Of course it was magic. Everything here was magic. It was a pleasant surprise though, and one she would gladly accept.Plus the whole place was painted rainbow. It wasn’t her style, but it was fun and put a smile on Lorelai’s face. Everyone had plenty of space, it seemed they had different rooms. Lorelai wandered up to the second floor and walked into one of the rooms. She saw an adorable pink plush unicorn sitting on the bed awaiting her. She picked it up, and held it to her chest. It was soft. She noticed her name was written on the side as well. She left her things in the room and wondered out into the rest of the cabin. The Gryffindor looked for any students she knew, most she at least recognized but few friends. She saw Una, a girl she wasn’t too fond of and frowned. Was she really the only person she knew in the cabin. She was glad when she saw one of her good friends Ami, and a girl she had met at Mia’s birthday party, Amadea. She sat next to them without a word, not feeling like intruding. She was glad she had chosen to go to camp this summer instead of staying in a stuffy apartment with her mom.

Midas looked around, and for a second wondered if he was in the right place. The cabin looked rather small and Midas didn't feel like it would fit 12 people in it. "Is this really the place? It looks pretty small to fit 12..." he quietly muttered. He double checked to make sure whether this really was Unicorn Cabin, looking around. He slowly pushed the door open, just in case this wasn't the Unicorn cabin. He peeked inside and saw the deputy Headmaster. "So this really is the unicorn cabin..." He fully opened the door and walked inside. 

Midas soon realized that inside the cabin, it was actually much larger than it was on the outside. There were 2 floors, and both had beds. Each of the beds had a unicorn, some blue and some pink. On the bottom floor, a nice little couch area was here with some snacks and such, and some students were already conversing on there. Midas looked around and decided he would rather have a bed on the top floor. 

He slowly walked up the stairs while carrying his bag. Once he reached the top, he looked around for an empty bed. He found one, and luckily, it had a blue unicorn on it. He dropped his stuff on the bed, and began unpacking. He was going to be here for quite a bit of time after all. He looked around, and grabbed a book out of his bag. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them... My favorite..." he quietly murmured. He took it and headed downstairs. The couches were already mostly filled, and Midas didn't really want to socialize at the moment. He headed toward a side of the room he felt was abandoned, and began to read.
