Chapter 1

A girl with brown hair entering a house. She then walks up to the smith. The girl's name is Hermione. "Good morning Master Smith." "Goodness me! Princess Hermione! Did you sneak out of the castle and come all this way alone? The minster is sure to be worried about you! You know, he gets!" "Oh, don't worry about him! He'll be fine. Where's Draco? The whole town is bustling for the annual Picori Festival! I thought he and I might go together.

Would you mind terribly?" "Oh, is that what you're for? Well, Draco was up late last night helping me, and he's still asleep… But I have an errand at the castle… Yes, that should be fine. Draco, time to get up." Draco's room. Yelling from downstairs. "Draco, time to get up." Draco jumps out of bed. He walks downstairs into the next room… "Hey! Draco! Princess Hermione is here. She'd like to know if you join her at the festival." "Yeah, Draco. Come on! Let's go

check out the festival together! Master Smith already gave me permission to take you!" "Yes. After all the festival only comes once a year. Go one, have fun! And while you're there, you can do me a favor. I just finished making this sword for the minster at Hyrule Castle. I'd like you to deliver it to him." Draco walks up and grabs the sword. This is the blade that will be presented to the winner of the competition. Don't lose it. And while the two of you may

be childhood friends, remember… Hermione is Princess of Hyrule. You watch over her. Don't let anything bad happen to her." "Master Smith, quit worrying! We'll be perfectly safe. Come on, Draco! Let's go checkout the festival!" Princess Hermione leaves the house. He exits the house… "Draco! Over here!" He catches up to her… "Draco! Hurry! Let's go!" He catches up to her again… "Over here! Come on! Hurry up! Well here we are! The town of Hyrule!" He

follows Princess Hermione into Hyrule. The festival and the people at it are having fun. Draco and Hermione arrive there. "Here we are, Draco! Doesn't it look fun? Come, on! Let's look around! Draco, there's a story teller here! We should stop here and listen to. Oh! I wonder what's over there…" Princess Hermione rans to another location. "So the Picori ARE real! My father always told they were. Oh! Look at that!" Princess Hermione runs off to yet another

location. "Say, wasn't there going to be a sword-fighting tournament at the castle? I wonder who won this year… Oh, wow! Over here." Princess Hermione runs to the final location. After talking to Hermione, the guy next to Draco rings a bell. "We have a winner! Oh, my! Princess Hermione! You won the grand in our drawing? Wow! You get your choice of any of these wonderful prizes. What will it be?" A heart piece appears on the first pedestal. "First, we

have… this lovely heart-shaped stone! Next we have…" "A red rupee appears on the second pedestal. "This magnificent gem! And finally there's." A shield appears on the final pedestal. "This teeny-tiny shield. So, which one would you like? Let me guess the jewel? Oh, but this heart stone is very cute, too. Choose which ever you like are!" Hermione walks up the shield. "The shield is so adorable! I think I'll take it." "What? Why? Why would you want that

ugly thing! What about this heart stone! It's cute! Or… Or this giant gem! It's pretty! Honestly, they're both much nicer than that nasty little shield thing." "Nope! I want the shield. Can I have it?" "What a strange princess you are. Well… Ok. Here's your teeny-tiny shield." Hermione looks at Draco. "Here! I want to give you a present! Doesn't this shield suit you perfectly, Draco?" Draco tries out his new shield. "Yep! Just as I thought? You look great! Now, if

anything happens, you can protect me with that shield! Oh! I almost forgot! We should take Master Smith's sword to the castle. Let's go Draco." After Draco and Hermione exit Hyrule. "Come on, Draco. Let's hurry to the castle." Hermione walks off towards the castle. He follows her and Deku Scrub hits her. "Owwwch! That must be the Business Scrub I heard the soldiers taking about. They were saying a Deku Scrub had been hassling all the

passersby. Draco, do something about it. We cannot get to the castle. If only we had some way to defend against those nuts of his." Draco uses his shield to deflect the nut being thrown at him.
