A/N: Here we go again. Everything is a disaster and what am I gonna create of this? Read and review to find out!!
The legend of Hogwarts
Chapter 12: Court is now in session
A fatal silence occurred. Harry looked around to see everyone's expression. Dark looked devastated, Zelda was shaking as if a Dementor was right next to her. Hermione had buried her face in her hands and Ron had his mouth wide open and he looked pretty dumb. Dark noticed that Wand-tail was holding a bloody, green and torn tunic. Without a word Harry, Ron and Dark started to take down the tent while Hermione did her best to comfort the huge wreck which only a few minutes before had been a cheerful princess. Between her many sobs Harry could make out a few words.
"He was everything to me. When he was with me I felt like nothing could ever harm me." Harry felt a knot in his stomach because that was exactly how he had felt about his parents and his godfather. That as long as someone protects you nothing can harm you. But as all protections it would eventually disappear.
"What are we going to do?" Harry asked no one particular, "If Link is dead then we've got nothing more to search for right?"
"Harry, the reason we are searching for Link is because he would probably know who the hero of time is." Hermione reminded him, "We'll just have to search on our own."
"Please just listen to me!" Zelda screamed and everybody looked at her, "I've been trying to tell you ever since we left Hogwarts but you wouldn't let me. Link is the Hero of time." Harry, Ron and Hermione froze in their places and Dark gave a big sigh.
"So that's it then?" Ron asked. Hermione nodded and Harry felt a sting of sorrow in him. No, he thought, Link couldn't be dead. It wasn't fair!
"I don't know about you." Zelda said bitterly and wiped away the tears, "But I will keep looking for Link. I need more proof than a bloody tunic to believe that Link Avalon is dead."
"But we gave Wand-tail Verita-serum." Hermione objected, "That force you to tell the truth and he clearly said that Link is dead."
"But it's possible." Dark said, "That someone just told him that Link was dead and Wand-tail believed it."
"You're willing to look for him too?" Harry didn't quite believe it.
"You don't understand." Zelda said and shook her head, "you don't understand how Hyrule would react if they found out that Link died. It's as if Dumbledore would die. Then how would people react?" Harry considered this for a moment. So far he had only considered his own personal reaction if Dumbledore died but now he realised the magnitude that would spread over the entire wizarding world.
"And that's why I won't give up until I find clearer evidence that he is dead." Zelda's voice left no room for argument.
"Agreed." Dark said with equal determine, "I will help you to find him."
"Well if you put it like that." Ron said and shrugged his shoulders, "I'll follow you." Harry and Hermione stared in shock as Ron sided with the two Hylians. Harry knew that if Ron was going Hermione was soon to follow. And so she did.
"Then I'll go too." Harry said and walked over to them, "I really want to find Link." Zelda smiled now.
"I'm so glad I got you guys as friends." Hermione smiled too and gave her a comforting hug.
"And your friends promise you that we will find Link."
"Okay are we just gonna stay here and grow old or are we gonna find ourselves a hero?" Ron asked and Zelda laughed.
"All right." She said looking a little happier, "Let's visit Link's house." Warping with Farore's wind was completely different from Disapparting. Disapparting felt like you were pressed through a tube of toothpaste but Farore's wind felt like a light breeze was passing you by. Before Harry knew it he was standing in what seemed to be a small cottage. Ron had landed on a small bed where Hermione had landed mere seconds later causing an extremely uncomfortable situation. Dark landed on a bookcase and Zelda was sitting on a small table.
"Where are we?" Harry was feeling very dizzy.
"We are in Kokiri Forest in southern Hyrule." Zelda said simply.
"What are we going to do now?" Hermione asked harshly pushing Ron off her.
"I think we can pick up Link's trail from here." Dark said.
"Why do you think that?" Ron asked getting up from the bed.
"Because this was Link's first home." Dark answered, "I think that he should have been here at some point if only to gain a foothold in his search for Ganondorf."
"So we'll just ask around in the village?" Hermione stated. Dark nodded and they went outside. Hardly anyone was up in the little village. The three wizards, who still was used to magical and stunning things, were amazed. The sun was rising and someone came out of a house at the far end of the village. Zelda and Dark walked up to her followed by the three wizards.
"Good morning Saria." Zelda greeted her happily.
"Oh, hi Zelda." Saria greeted back. Then she noticed Dark and her eyes turned to steel.
"What nerve you have to come back here Link." She gritted between her teeth.
"Well that's just typical!" Dark exclaimed in frustration, "The shadow have to take all the shit that the substance do."
"Saria, Dark, Dark, Saria." Zelda introduced.
"What of your other friends?" Saria asked and smiled up to the surprised wizards.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione, Saria." Zelda introduced again, "Friends of Link." Saria eyes turned to steel when the name came up.
"Looking for Link, huh?" She said coldly.
"Have you seen him?" Zelda asked urgently.
"Why yes. I've seen him very much." Saria answered and folded her arms over her chest.
"What do you mean?" Dark asked cautiously.
"He came here about a week ago and stayed over the night." Saria said.
"What's wrong with that?" Harry asked.
"Well I'll tell you." Saria replied, "The morning after he came I was going to wake him up for breakfast but he was accompanied."
"By who?" Dark asked already suspecting the worst.
"Midna." Saria answered simply, "He had the princess of twilight in his bed." Zelda's mouth opened in shock.
"Okay let's clear up this mess good before we accuse my substance." Dark said sounding a lot like a lawyer at court, "Did it look like Link had been prepared for her to come?"
"No." Saria confessed.
"And now we know that Link hadn't planned the meeting." Dark said relieved over his progress, "And did he look happy about it?"
"No." Saria confessed again.
"Aha!" Dark exclaimed in triumph, "So that means he did not know she was coming and he did not like it! My dear jury…" He said and pointed at Zelda, Harry, Ron and Hermione, "… With this new evidence behind me I demand that my client will immediately be set free and to be cleared of all charges!" Saria raised an eyebrow. "Sorry I got a little carried away." Dark excused himself, "But my point is now that Link is innocent I would really like to know where he went."
"He burst out of the village very quickly." Saria said in an excusing tone, "But the guard at the entrance said he had mumbled something about the Zoras."
"Well then off we go!" Zelda exclaimed, "To Zora's Domain!"
