A/N: Well shit. One month later and now an update. I'm sorry! I was away on a camping trip for ten days and then I was just lazy. Warning: I will be away from quite some time during August so don't expect any updates. Also I have decided to pair Zephir with Leaf. It won't be the main focus of the story but it works. Anyways, on with the chapter!

I do not own Harry Potter nor do I own Legend of Zelda

After they had removed the soul from Drew, they decided to head down to the Great Hall for dinner. The four Sheikah sat down at one of the four tables and were joined by all the teachers. Drew noticed that to eat, all of the Sheikah had removed their cowls and kept their heads down.

"We try to keep our identities a secret to the best of our abilities." Zephir said as an explanation. Before he could say another word, food appeared on the table. There was rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes as well as other comfort foods.

Zephir loaded up his plate and waited for his father and friends to finish loading up their plates. When they were done, they all clasped hands together and prayed to the goddesses. The teachers gave them strange glances, but the four didn't seem to notice or care. Once they were done their prayers, they began to eat.

Drew took a bite of his chicken and moaned. He loved Hogwarts food and by the looks of it, Zephir and his tribe mates seemed to enjoy it too. The teachers, including Drew's parents, watched them eat. The Sheikah continued eating, not taking any notice to the people watching them.

Dumbledore cleared his throat in an attempt to catch the attention of the Sheikah. All four of them looked up at him with their red eyes, but kept their faces low. All of the other professors noticed this action.

"I was wondering if you were all enjoying your food. The Hogwarts house elves work very hard all day to make the food for our many students and their food is always impeccable." Dumbledore said with no small amount of pride in his voice.

Impa finished chewing her food and answered, "Yes the food is quite delicious. You are lucky to be able to eat this food regularly. In our village we hunt for our own food. Of course, doing the work is a reward in itself. Zephir was about 14 when he first caught a deer for the village." Zephir blushed and nodded.

"You teach your children to kill at such a young age?" Lily Potter asked. She was astonished. Children are innocent! It was absolutely horrific to teach them combat at such a young age!

Before Zephir could speak up and defend his tribe, his father spoke up, "A long time ago, our tribe used to protect the royal family of Hyrule. We needed to train our children from a young age how to defend themselves as well as others in order to be prepared for when they were hired to defend the royal family. In fact, it was my ancestor who helped the hero of time defeat Ganondorf. He was the king of thieves and attempted to take over Hyrule. Impa's ancestor was actually Princess Zelda's bodyguard." Zephir decided to speak up.

"Also our village is quite isolated and so we have to hunt for meat. So essentially, yes we do learn to kill at a young age, but it is necessary for survival." Impa smiled proudly at Zephir. She knew who this woman was and detested her for what she did to her honorary son. Impa was proud of him for standing up for his tribe.

Sheik and Zephir's speech seemed to have the desired effect because Lily didn't say another word for the rest of the meal. Once the meal was over, the Sheikah all put their cowls back on.

"Professor Dumbledore? I have a question to ask of you." Impa said. Dumbledore nodded and Impa continued, "Is there a room somewhere in this castle where my tribe may train? We need to keep up our training in order to better protect the students."

Dumbledore smiled and his eyes twinkled as he looked towards the pale man with the greasy black hair, "I am sure our dear Professor Snape may be able to find you a suitable place. James, how about you help out Severus? With all the pranking you did as children, I am sure you would have discovered a few of Hogwarts's hidden rooms."

Snape's face fell the moment James Potter was mentioned. It was no secret to the rest of the Hogwarts staff that the two were childhood enemies. In fact, it was also pretty obvious to Zephir. He noticed the way the two men looked at each other throughout the dinner. They constantly threw hateful glances towards each other.

"Perfect! I know just the place! Come along Snivellus. Follow me guys!" Snape grumbled and reluctantly followed Potter. The Sheikah followed James as he maneuvered around the school. He led them through multiple secret passageways that the Sheikah filed away in their memories for later use.

After about 15 minutes of walking through the majestic castle that was Hogwarts, James showed them a door. It was a simple wooden door hidden in the far end of the school. It was relatively close to their dormitory so they could access it quickly.

"If I am right, which I am most of the time, this room should be padded on the floor and have anything you need for training. If there is something you need, you can simply call for service and a house elf should be able to help you." James said. Sheik gingerly opened the door and it revealed a large room.

James was correct in some aspects. The floor was all one giant mat which made it safe in case anyone were to fall. There were targets lined up on the back wall with several bows and arrows off to the side. On the right wall was a rock climbing wall which also came with the proper equipment (Although the Sheikah didn't need any of it). Finally, on the left wall was an area for hand to hand combat. All in all, it was relatively well equipped and the Sheikah knew that they could adjust it to their needs.

Impa walked up to the targets at the back of the room. She unsheathed the knife hidden on her back and aimed. She threw the knife with perfect accuracy and hit the target straight in the middle. Severus and James glanced at each other. It was clear to the both of them that if they dared to anger a Sheikah, the results would be horrific.

Leaf, Zephir and Sheik all walked into the room and decided to try out the new room as well. Leaf loved climbing so he went directly to the rock climbing wall while Sheik and Zephir tried out hand to hand combat. Although for the Sheikah, it involved a series of flips and gymnastics that the two wizards standing in the room could never pull off.

Leaf looked up at the wall and bit his lip. It was quite tall but he was confident that he could do it without all the weird fancy equipment to his left. He crouched and jumped up to grab one of the ledges. Unbeknownst to him, Zephir was staring at him with a look of adoration. He quickly placed one of his feet into a nearby foothold and continued making his way up the wall in the same fashion. When he reached the top, he noticed Zephir watching him.

"Hey Zephir, do you think I can jump down and somersault? I think I can do it." He shouted down to his friend. The two wizards who were still standing at the door looked at each other in horror. The wall was almost 15 feet high!

"Go for it Leaf!" Leaf grinned and leaped off the top. As he fell, he braced himself. He bent his knees and hit the ground. The momentum of the jump allowed him to roll into a perfect somersault and he stood up with a flourish and a grin on his face. "I never doubted you for a second." Zephir said with a smile.

Leaf was his closet friend and he was one of the best rock climbers in the village. The two had grown up (more or less) together and were practically inseparable when they were not in training. Sheik often teased him about Leaf by saying that he had a crush on the black haired Sheikah. If Zephir was honest with himself, he was beginning to fall for him. He would never admit it out loud though. His dad would never let him hear the end of it.

"This room will be adequate. Thank you." Impa said to James and Severus. The two wizards took that as their cue to leave. The Sheikah decided that they would try out the facility again tomorrow, but they had to get some rest. It had been a long day.

They all headed back up to their lodgings. Zephir and Leaf decided to stay up a bit longer than the others. They sat on one of the couches in the living area with their cowls off. They weren't doing much. They were just talking. It wasn't often that they could just sit down and talk with each other because of all the training the two went through.

"So how are you feeling? I mean you were just partially reunited with your biological parents." Leaf said. Zephir shrugged. He wasn't sure how he felt about that. From what he could tell, his parents didn't really miss him at all.

"I don't know Leaf. I mean, the whole reason I ran away was because I knew that if I had stayed with them, I wouldn't have been loved properly. I guess it's not that big of a surprise because it's not like they cared to begin with." Zephir said. Leaf put his arm around his friends shoulder and tugged him closer to his chest. He knew how fragile Zephir was and so he tried to help as best as he could.

"Well you have us. You don't need the Potter's approval. The moment you ran away was the moment you decided to no longer let them run your life right?" Zephir nodded. "So then don't! Who cares what they think? Besides they could never even dream of doing half the things you can do. Just be confident in your abilities and you'll be fine. Besides, I will be here to help you along the way."

Zephir smiled. He hugged Leaf and made his way up to his bed with Leaf not far behind him. Zephir began taking off his bodysuit and he walked his way over to the showers. He took his braid out and laid all of the clips and bands that held it together on the counter near the bathrooms mirror. He climbed into the shower and began washing his hair and thinking back on Leaf's words. Leaf was right. He didn't need his fuck up parents to tell him what to do. He had a new family now and he still managed to include Drew in it. He smiled and once he was satisfied, he stepped out of the shower and dried off. He climbed into bed and blew out the candle that was lighting the room.

Leaf on the other hand, was having a conflict with himself. He didn't know what to consider Zephir. Was he simply a close friend….or was it something more? His feelings conflicted with each other. He did love Zephir. He was handsome, unique and downright adorable. He just wasn't sure what kind of love it could be considered. More than a friend, less than a lover? Or did he love him like a lover? It was too soon to tell. He shut his eyes and fell asleep to the sounds of the others breathing.

A/N: So that chapter was a bit more focused on the relationship between Zephir and Leaf. They will be a couple by the end of the story. The story is not focused on them though. Have a good day and feel free to leave a review
