A/N: wow school's really killing me! Who would've thought that eight grade was this exhausting. Thank god I can fall back to my story when things get rough. I got the main idea from music period and we were playing someday someway (great song btw). I hope people still read this and I DEARLY hope people still feel like reviewing.
The legend of Hogwarts
Chapter 14: Animal I have become
Zelda, Dark, Harry, Ron and Hermione ran out of Kokiri Forest to Hyrule Field where they realized it was midday.
"Let's go!" Harry exclaimed.
"We're on our way!" Dark screamed.
"Fortune favours the bold!" Hermione waved her fist into the air.
"I'm hungry!" Ron said.
"I'm fed up with your complaining!" Hermione shot an angry look at him.
"Hey, Ron!" Zelda smirked. "They have the best fish dishes in history in Zora's Domain. Feel for a fish?" Ron's face was immediately shining up as the thought of fish ran through his head. He marched in front of all the others with spirit and head held high.
"So let's find this Hero guy." He said as if he'd been talking about taking a walk.
"Even if I have to re-animate his corpse." Dark smiled and Ron laughed. Harry realised that Ron and Dark was very much alike. They had been sort of the Hero's shadow all along always on the edge of the spotlight. Harry thought it was unfair to both of them since they both had helped out the hero a lot. Hermione did not enjoy the thought of having to climb up the river but Ron looked so very cheerful that he looked like he could have carried her. When they arrived at the river they found that it was ebb so they could walk all the way up to the waterfall without practically getting wet at all. When they entered Zora's Domain they were, just like Link before them, greeted by prince Ralis' smiling face.
"Your Majesty." He greeted Zelda with a bow.
"Come off, Ralis." Zelda said slightly embarrassed, "You're a royal too and therefore to be treated as my equal."
"Huh." Prince Ralis did not seem to have understood half of what she said.
"Anyway." Zelda said to break the silence, "These are friends of me and Link and you remember Dark, don't you?" Zelda made a hand gesture at Dark who entertained himself by hitting on a Zora girl. Ralis turned red.
"Hey Dark, get the heck off my cousin!" He screamed giving Dark a warning gesture. Dark turned and noticed him and waved good-bye to the girl who giggled away. "So, did you come here for a specific reason or just so Dark could pick up my cousin?" Ralis asked and shot an angry look at Dark.
"Actually we would like to have a private talk to your big sister." Zelda said putting a look of urgency on her face.
"You too?" Ralis said in surprise, "My, she's getting popular."
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked obviously nervous about talking to a fish-human.
"Link came here a few days ago looking for her as well." Ralis replied, "I'll go get her then." He dashed up to Ruto's private room and came down with her two minutes later.
"Have fun with her." Ralis said walking off to the audience chamber. It did not look like Ruto was in the mood for talking so Zelda tried to keep things short.
"I heard Link visited a couple of days ago." Zelda began. Ruto broke the glass in her hand, "Do you know where he went?" Ruto sobbed slightly.
"I do not know." She began with utmost drama in her voice, "The last thing I remember was that he was cheating on me in our own room with that twilight whore." Harry raised an eyebrow.
"Are we talking about the same twilight whore as last time?" He asked just so he knew. Zelda nodded.
"So you are accusing my client again?" Dark asked with a tone that said "You're going down."
"Oh no, she got him started." Hermione mumbled as they all prepared for the things to come. Dark spent twelve minutes proving that Link was completely innocent. When Ruto, exhausted from her loss at court, finally admitted her defeat Dark immediately raised the question as to what Link was doing in her room.
"So now you are forbidding my own fiancée to live with me?" Ruto asked coldly.
"He's NOT your fiancé." Zelda spat out with sudden heat.
"But I caught him first." Ruto teased.
"Aha!" Dark said, "Ruto has accused my client for being her fiancé! He's innocent because…" Dark couldn't get the time he needed to finish his speech because Ruto felt that she could not take another round and she fled up to her room. On the way up the stairs she encountered prince Ralis who was on the way down.
"Sorry you had to see that." He excused himself, "As for Link's whereabouts my best guess would be for you to go Death Mountain."
"Why is that?" Zelda asked.
"Because that's how Link's mind works." Ralis answered simply, "Link is used to go through the races Kokiri, Zora and Goron. It's just in his nature."
"It does make sense." Zelda admitted, "After all that's what he went through on his first adventure."
"I suppose it is Death Mountain next?" Harry suggested and Hermione nodded in agreement. As they were about to leave Ron turned up around the corner seemingly filled with fish.
"Did I miss anything?" He asked.
"It was nothing important." Harry assured him, "Although you should know we're going to Death Mountain."
"Fine by me." Ron said still smiling.
"If you're fed everything is fine by you." Hermione pointed out. They arrived by the forest at the foot of Death Mountain by nightfall. Zelda and Hermione decided that before they set up a camp they should check the forest. They ventured about half-way through it without noticing anything creepy, strange or dangerous.
"Let's go back and set up a camp." Dark said nodding to the edge of the forest. Harry was about to walk away when he felt something touch his shoulder. He turned his gaze and found that there was a blade on his shoulder barely touching the skin of his neck. The owner of the blade was tall with a face that lacked any emotion. He had strange tattoos on his cheeks and his eyes were plain white as a blizzard. His voice was colder than a whole winter night at the very roof of Snowpeak.
"One step and this little hero's little pretty head will be abruptly separated from his neck." Everyone turned around in shock and horror to witness "The Boy who lived" being so vulnerable. So mortal and so close to his own doom. Harry tried to struggle against his captor but he felt a massive strength putting his hands on his back, the blade still to his throat.
"I wouldn't struggle if I were you." The swordsman said, "The more you struggle the harder I will press this cold blade to your throat." Harry felt warm blood pouring out from a light wound on his neck where the blade had sunk in. "Listen very carefully." He said to the shocked people in front of him, "Your pretty-boy here will be released on one condition. Is that you tell me the exact location of Princess Zelda Harkinian, princess of Hyrule." Zelda who had been hiding in the bushes stepped into the light whispering.
"I recognize you."
A/N: Sorta cliffhanger right? So how will Harry make it through here and how does Zelda know this guy? Well I should get more time typing since weekend is coming and I'll get my own computer at Saturday. Please keep reading and remember the more reviews I get the faster I'll update. Yours truly:
