Whoo! We've reached fifty reviews! Thank you guys so much, you rock!

To all you people who were wondering what Link wrote, I purposely left it blank so you guys can come up with something on your own. (Call me uncreative, but you guys could probably come up with some nasty insults; unleash your worst, lol)

Disclaimer: I don't own the Legend of Zelda nor do I own the Harry Potter series. Thank you very much.

Chapter Eleven

"So how was detention last night?" Zelda asked humorously, her posture more relaxed than before as she bit into her bread.

Link suppressed the small shiver dancing on his shoulders, and he pasted a flashy smile onto his face. "Absolutely horrible."

Zelda cocked her head to the side. "How so?"

Link took a sip from his coffee, and he grimaced. "She made us write lines with-" He paused, remembering that Hermione and Ron were also present, and he coughed. "She made us write lines."

"That's not so bad, is it?" said Zelda, noticing the break in his sentence. Link shrugged, averting his eyes to the left.

On the other side of the table, Harry broke out in a huge grin. "You should have seen what Link wrote! It was genius!"

Zelda turned her head to him, one side of her mouth tugging upwards. "What did he write?" Next to Harry, Ron and Hermione nodded quickly, also wanting to know.

Lowering his voice, as to not catch the attention of the other students, Harry relayed last night's events in an excited tone. Link sat to the side with a smug expression, and he crossed his arms, a small smirk forming.

"And you're still alive?!" said Ron incredulously.

Ignoring the little snide voice in his head commenting about how he was technically already dead, Link snickered in return. "Last time I checked, yeah."

"What asinine gall you have," Zelda commented, shaking her head. Hermione laughed in agreement as she nodded.

"Heh," Link chuckled. "Go big or go home…" He trailed off, his smile being replaced by a look of dread, and he pursed his lips. "…We have Umbridge again today…she's going to give me hell."

"Look forward to it," Zelda said flatly. "At least it's only one class period."

Link shrugged. "None would've been better."

The rest of breakfast was uneventful, and soon Link was walking to his first class, a scowl across his face.

Great way to start out the day…get to see Umbridge's ugly mug bright and early. The day, as well as the rest of the week passed on rather quickly, and a couple days later, Link and Zelda were sat in the library with heavy tomes laid out in front of them.

"So, what were you going to tell me?" asked Zelda abruptly. Link looked up, confused. "You know, during breakfast two days ago. You cut off your sentence."

Link blinked. "Oh, that. Umbridge's detention."

Zelda nodded. "Yeah, now get to the point."

"Hmmm…detention with Umbridge…" said Link, resting his chin on the palm of his hand. "She made us write lines, but with a blood quill."

"Blood quill?" repeated Zelda.

Link gave a small nod. "Whatever you write is etched onto your hand, and it's written with the blood from that cut." He held up his right hand, bringing the slightly red skin into Zelda's line of sight.

Seeing the light flush of color on this hand, her eyes darkened, and her mouth set itself into a straight line. "That toad's going to-wait, I thought you were left-handed."

"I am," said Link. "But the Triforce interfered with the quill, and it couldn't cut through so she made me use my other hand."

"That's normal, I guess," Zelda murmured. "The Triforce will aid it's bearer upon their weakest moments, or, if there is direct contact to it."

"It's helped me more than enough times on my journey," Link recalled wistfully. "I Fell into lava once; I only made it out alive because of it, but it's not a complete shield, I still had burns to last me weeks." He gazed at his left hand, holding it up in front of him.

Their conversation dropped from there, and Link shifted his eyes back onto the book with a disinterested expression.

"…I think I have an idea," said Zelda suddenly, sitting up straighter.

"What is it?" asked Link, pushing the book away quickly.

An excited gleam flashed in her liquid silver orbs, and she stood up. "I'm going to ask Dumbledore for the blueprints of the school." She picked her way around the large pile of books, moving them one by one back to their original places.

Link quickly followed her up, and carrying a large stack of books, rushed up to her. "Why?"

Zelda grunted as she lifted a particularly heavy book, which was immediately snatched by Link, and brushed her hair out of her face. "Thanks."

Link nodded, but gestured for her to continue with his free arm.

"You know, since Hogwarts is so similar to Hyrule Castle, I was curious if it would lead to more information," said Zelda, her eyes cast onto the floor in thought. "Maybe shed some more light on our current predicament.

"Makes sense," Link agreed, a pleasant smile on his face. "Can I come with you?"

"Of course!" Zelda said immediately, her cheeks a light pink. "You needn't ask."

Link chuckled, and the two exited the library into the direction of the Headmaster's office. The halls were devoid of sound, and the two Hylians were content with keeping it that way.

Their footsteps echoed through the narrow hallway, and as they were nearing Dumbledore's room, Link shifted his hands into his pockets, a contemplative look on his face.

"…You know," Link began, a pensive smile ghosting over his lips. His voice bounced around the hall, and he lowered it. "Sometimes I forget that I'm technically dead."

Zelda gazed at him with her intense silver eyes, and she sighed, shutting her eyelids. "Me too."

"Days like these, they remind me of those back in Ordon. Where I spent the days without worry, playing with the village kids; life was so carefree."

Zelda looked warily up at him. "What's with you, talking like you're going to die again?"

Link laughed. "If I had died back in Hyrule, then that means I didn't get to make that dying speech Midna and I had prepared. Guess I can use it now."

"Geez," said Zelda, her tone lighthearted as she scolded him. Link laughed once more, but there were identical flashes of sorrow beneath the bright cheery light in their eyes. They were now in front of the gargoyle guarding Dumbledore's office, and the statue eyed the two cautiously.

"Password?" it growled.

"Acid pops," Zelda replied firmly. It jumped aside, and the two headed in and up the stairs. Stepping gingerly into the Headmaster's loft of an office, Zelda cleared her throat awkwardly, and Dumbledore looked up from his work.

A small smile spread to his wrinkly cheeks. "To what do I owe you the pleasure of, my dears?"

Zelda made her way closer to his desk, her arms lowered in front of her, fingers twitching nervously. Dumbledore made no move to speak, and she took that as a sign to begin.

"May I get a copy of the blueprints of Hogwarts castle please, professor?" asked Zelda, staring at the headmaster with uncertainty. Dumbledore looked at her curiously, his blue eyes twinkling with a calculating air.

Zelda held her breath, knowing that she shouldn't be feeling as nervous as she was. A moment of silence, and Dumbledore chuckled.

"No problem," he answered heartily, standing up and gliding over to a large bookshelf. He fingered through the spines of a couple books before resting on a rather thick tome set on the top shelf. "My only concern is that you try not to share it with anybody else," he said as he pulled the book out gingerly, wiping the dust off with his sleeve. "There are quite a bit of secrets to this castle that I want to remain hidden; they are secrets for a reason."

Dumbledore set the book onto his desk and flipped it open to a bookmark. There was a short wheeze the old man let out as a small cloud of dust blew around, and the headmaster pulled out a folded piece of aged parchment. Handing it to Zelda, he shut the book with a loud snap, and said, "I hope it will help. Alas, there are not many things I myself can do to aid you, but whatever it is you need, I shall try my best." A warm smile flushed his cheeks, and Zelda felt a small flame of warmth and happiness flicker inside her.

"Thank you so much!" Zelda said sincerely, her eyes sparkling brightly as she clutched the parchment paper to her chest.

"No need, no need," Dumbledore replied, waving his hand. "I'm glad that I could be of help."

"Thanks," Link repeated from where he stood near the entrance, leaning on the doorway with a casual air. Dumbledore shook his head with a smile, still waving his hand slightly.

Zelda flashed one last appreciative glance at the kind headmaster before exiting the office and down to the stairs. She turned to Link as they walked past the gargoyle. "You didn't say anything at all in there."

Link shrugged his shoulders, his eyebrows raised. "There was no need to. You had everything under control."

Zelda hummed in answer, still happily holding onto the blueprints. They walked down the empty hallway, and peeking downstairs, they saw the Great Hall begin to empty. Lunch break was over.

"Dang, that was quick," Link remarked, leaning precariously over the rails.

"We should get to class. I'll keep the blueprints for now, and we can look over it after dinner or something," said Zelda, tucking the papers away. Reaching out a hand, she gently tugged on the collar of his shirt. "Don't fall off and crack your head open, Hero, that would be a pathetic way to die."

Link shot her a goofy grin, and leaned even closer over the edge. "The great princess of Hyrule is worrying over a simple peasant like me? My, what would the nobles say?"

"They'd be ecstatic actually," Zelda said simply, keeping a tight grip on his shirt. "The council's been trying to marry me off since years ago-" Clamping her mouth shut as she realized what she had just said, a light pink flushed her cheeks and she swallowed nervously.

"What was that?" Link said distractedly. "Sorry, I didn't hear you. That painting over there's showing this farmer guy ramming that pitchfork of his in-"

Zelda let out a breath of relief, and Link looked at her oddly. "What?"

"N-nothing!" she replied instantly, shaking her head furiously.

Another odd look. "You're so weird."

"Shut up."

So far it's been a bit boring, hasn't it? Don't fret, my lovelies, I have got a great number of things planned that shall take place in the next couple of chapters (not sure of the next one though). I also plan to do a lot of editing and revising to my earlier chapters. As I read through them, I usually end up wincing at the horribleness, and I plan to fix it soon.

Anyway, thanks to Changeling, joshhlover, SpriteBlazer, Shadows from Twilight, XHikariSoraX, and dissonantToxophilite for reviewing!

Changeling: Legendary battles are like a love/hate kind of thing for me; it's nerve-wracking but also exciting at the same time, especially if I forget to save. I think I've already answered your question, and thanks for reviewing!

joshhlover: It's hard not to love Link, but I've never really pictured him as Josh Hutcherson. I think Link's a bit less square-jawed, but that's my opinion. Thanks for the review as well!

SpriteBlazer: I have an idea of when wolf Link's gonna appear, and it's not too far from now, so look forward to it! I'm not sure if Midna herself will appear in person, but she's definitely going to be mentioned. She's a cool character, but I wouldn't know how she would fit in here. I like the idea, and thanks for reviewing!

Shadows from Twilight: School work is the worst. I usually find myself putting it off until the last minute, and then I end up berating myself for procrastinating. It is an endless cycle of doom. But thanks for taking the time for reading and reviewing though, it's appreciated!

XHikariSoraX: I'm sticking to canon so Link's gonna be left-handed here, but he's not completely useless with his right hand either; he can write some pretty mean words with it, so yeah. Until next time then, I look forward to seeing you, thanks!

dissonantToxophilite: Cool name change, I'm sort of paranoid about spelling your name right, so sorry if there's a mistake. But I can't wait for Link to change into a wolf, it gon' be awesome! Until next chapter then, hope to see you soon, thank you very much!

Thank you very much for reading, and your feedback would be super great! Also, thanks to everyone that liked or followed this story, I appreciate it man.
