Harry growled with a bit of irritation. Draco was being very hard to find. Harry took a deep breath and glanced about again. He could have been with the other prefects making him groan a bit in thought. He glanced around before finally pausing near a compartment.
"Why do you two keep staring at me and not talking. It is getting really irritating!" Harry heard Draco growling out. Harry tilted his head hearing no direct response opened the compartment and glanced around spotting Crabbe and Goyle sitting with Draco standing and glaring at the two.
"My, my scolding your followers Malfoy? I'm shocked. What happened to coming after me and insulting me?" Harry asked with a smirk. Draco spun to face Harry his eyes narrowing.
"What do you want Potter?" Draco growled softly. Harry grinned.
"Got a present for you for Yule is all. After all, you are not ready for the big kids' toys. So figured this one would be better for you." Harry said before tossing the package to Draco still smirking. He didn't understand why but those words felt amazingly good. Draco frowned and opened the package only to blink in surprise at the wooden sword then glared at Harry stepping forward unconsciously holding the wooden sword as though he had always held a sword.
Crabbe and Goyle both stared at Draco then glanced at the grinning Harry. Harry glanced at the two then back to Draco preparing to defend himself from the wooden sword if necessary. Draco frowned down at the sword then looked at Harry with a scowl.
"I don't know what you are thinking but you are messed up Potter." Draco snarled.
"Not much have fun over Yule!" Harry said as he turned away and started to walk away chuckling.
"Potter!" Came Cho's voice from behind him. Harry stiffened groaned and turned to face the girl feeling irritation at the fact the Ravenclaw wouldn't leave him alone. He blinked seeing she was holding a vial with some black and red inky substance within it. Not knowing why he stepped away from her feeling a bit of fear flashing through him.
"What do you want Cho? I've told you I am not who or what you think." Harry growled trying to hide the fear.
"You are a god. This will return you to how you should be!" Cho declared then prepared to toss the vial at him. It was then he saw a flash of wood smashing into her wrist causing her to drop the vial and yelp.
"That should not exist where did you get that Chang?" Draco snarled in position to attack the Ravenclaw with the wooden sword totally ignoring the now broken vial that was holding that substance. The inky substance seeming to reach towards Harry making him leap away energy gathering in one hand the sparked violently as he stared at the substance that began to reach for him.
"That is none of your business Malfoy! I'm just returning it to the person it is part of." Cho snapped at Draco. Draco narrowed his eyes as Harry shuddered. He moved away from the substance that inched towards him again then sent the blast gathered in his hand into the substance destroying it causing Cho to cry out and leap at Harry.
Harry slid to one side against the aisle's walls, as Cho reached where he was almost screaming in pure rage bringing more people to their doors to see what was going on. Harry stayed against the wall not understanding why that substance freaked him out as Cho spun and glared at Draco.
"How dare you! You had no right to cause that to be destroyed!" She snapped and moved towards the blonde who moved into a fighting stance.
"That does not belong in this time. Where ever you got that stuff it is better destroyed. The Calamity should never be raised again." Draco stated calmly, his eyes flashing brightly.
"Champion… Oh well, if I can't revive our god maybe I will deal with you instead." Cho snarled and leaped at Draco. Harry reached out and grabbed Cho's robe before she could reach him and threw her back against the opposite wall to where Draco is standing.
"Whatever you are and follow should get lost. You are a fool for continuing to push against what is something you don't understand!" Harry growled not sure why he felt worried over Cho calling Draco Champion. Draco himself was staring at Cho in shock rubbing the back of his left hand.
"Yiga…" Draco murmured almost silently while staring at Cho. Crabbe and Goyle in the compartment froze and stared at Draco before glancing at Cho. Cho stood slowly glared at Harry then spun and rushed to a different train car while Harry glanced at Draco. He could feel the frisson of worry slid down his back with the fact Draco's memories were obviously becoming more active now. He watched as Draco looked at him, his eyes being almost pure blue.
"Malfoy I've given you what I was planning to. Now if you don't mind I need to return to my friends." Harry said before moving quickly away from the other boy who kept staring at him. He could see the flashes of anger and hate starting to cloud Draco's face and knew if he didn't get back to Luna asap and Draco remembered that wooden sword he had given Draco would start to rain blows down on him. Harry quickly headed back towards the compartment he was sharing with Luna and Neville.
"Ganondorf…" Draco growled softly and stepped towards Harry. Harry looked back at Draco and gulped a bit then ran down the train Draco following after him with anger on his face. Harry kept running not wanting to fight a pissed off awakening chosen of Farore. He quickly reached his compartment and ran in. He picked up Luna placed her in front of the door and then hid behind Kinara as best as he could.
"This isn't my fault!" Harry declared.
"Dragmire what have you done?" Luna snarled her eyes narrowing as the door is smashed open.
"Ganondorf!" Is snarled from the other side causing both Luna and Kinara to look at the door.
"Link stand down!" Luna snapped causing Draco to freeze and look at her in shock.
"Princess?" Draco asked confusion clear on his face as he groaned and rubbed at his head a bit. Luna sighed and hugged Draco then pushed him away and looked at him.
"Welcome back my friend. I was not expecting you to wake so suddenly though." Luna said then threw Harry a dirty look.
"Hey, I wasn't trying to wake him. It was Cho and something she threw at me. Whatever that was creaped me out!" Harry defended himself as Draco frowned still rubbing at his head.
"Why is he, here?" Draco asked with a groan. Harry rolled his eyes.
"He was actually a victim of the situation too." Luna explained a bit.
"You are sure he isn't lying?" Draco asked curiously.
"Hey, I'm right here you know! And really if I was that way I would have attempted to kill you by now!" Harry declared throwing his arms up in annoyance only to wince as his hands hit the ceiling of the compartment. Kinara chuckled from her spot seeing Harry starting to pout yet glare up at the ceiling.
"You knew?" Draco asked staring in shock at Harry.
"Figured it out early in the year. Think about my actions to you over the last while, but really you proved it when you knew how to deal with that Skulltella I placed in the DADA doorway." Harry pointed out. He sat down next to Neville who was looking between them as Draco kept himself between Harry and Luna as Luna giggles.
"Sit down Draco you probably need to get your mind settled after you sudden waking. I and Harry had a slower wakening." Luna explained. Draco blinked and sat down for a bit. He blinked then placed his face into his hands and groaned.
"Oh god... What have I been?" He muttered obviously thinking deeply. He shuddered and stood to start pacing as Harry chuckled.
"Goddesses I recognize that look. That's the look I had when I woke up from the nightmare that woke me up." Harry said. Neville glanced among them then shifted.
"Can I get an explanation of what is going on?" Neville asked softly. Reminding everyone he was there.
"That would be kinda hard to explain, and very hard to believe Neville." Harry said to him slowly as the other three nodded before Hermione and Ron opened the compartment only to look around in shock.
"What is he doing here?" Ron asked his face going red causing Harry to groan. Draco looked up and glared at Ron.
"Shut up Weasley this has nothing to do with you!" Draco snarled. Luna looked between the two and giggled a bit as Harry rolled his eyes.
"Ron, come over here sit down and be quiet we are dealing with the last of us waking." He explained.
"You told them about this?" Draco asked shock in his voice.
"I needed people who knew me and would be able to tell if I became possessed again able to watch out." Harry explained. "Plus while I was beginning to remember they were with me trying to help me figure out what was going on."
"I still think that is a bad idea, but then again I'm having trouble believing you are not going to betray us." Draco growled. Harry shrugged and leaned back as Ron kept glaring at Draco.
"So what triggered your memories?" Hermione asked trying to break the tension as Harry frowned.
"Cho was going to throw a vial with a bit of malice in it at Ganondorf here." Draco explained. Luna leaped up and stared at Draco.
"She had malice on her? I thought all of that substance was destroyed!" Luna declared.
"No idea but she did. She seemed to believe exposing Ganondorf here to it would make her god." He explained. Harry shuddered and rubbed his face.
"So that stuff is called Malice? It made me so uncomfortable I'm glad I destroyed it. Though it was attracted to me in a way I never expected." Harry admitted with a frown. Ron stood and paced barely having been sitting for any amount of time.
"Yes that was called Malice it would drain the living essence from anything it touched. It was also incredibly painful." Draco said as Ron spun to face Harry throwing his arms up.
"How can you trust him at all?" Ron exclaimed causing Harry to sigh.
"Ron, he is the reincarnation of the hero that stopped me from destroying everything while possessed. Who his family is at this point does not change who he was and what he represents. He is the chosen of Farore and always will be." Harry stated with a shrug then stiffened as he felt a weight appear on his lap.
"Master! I'm bored entertain me!" Ghirahim's voice exclaimed from his lap. Harry groaned and covered his face and Luna and Draco both looked at the Demon Lord laying on Harry's lap.
"What the hell is that demon doing in here!" Draco exclaimed causing Ghirahim to jump up his face breaking into a wide grin.
"Skychild! You are finally starting to remember?" He exclaimed. He pounced at Draco causing the boy to yelp and dodge to a side moving the wooden sword he was still holding into a defensive position between him and Ghirahim.
"Ghirahim stop it leave the boy alone. You have already done enough damage to him." Harry growled softly. Ghirahim pouted at Harry then leaned against him with pleading eyes.
"Oh, I wasn't going to harm him! I know he is needed to deal with the spirit of Demise. Once I am free of the King of Demons I will take his place!" Ghirahim exclaimed as Harry kept his eyes on him.
"You King of Demons? You are way to flamboyant and self-absorbed. You don't even function without a master!" Draco snapped.
"You have no style! Just because I was turned into a sword to oppose the Goddess blade!" Ghirahim snarled and glared at Draco as Luna blinked a few times.
"Do you recognize him?" Luna asked Draco. Draco looked at Luna and nodded slowly before glaring at Ghirahim again.
"Somewhat.. The memory is weak… Barely there like even among all the ones I am regaining this one is ancient." Draco admitted. Luna nodded slowly.
"More of a... familiarity than a true recognition." Luna said. Ghirahim pouted at the two and threw his head back dramatically.
"You have forgotten about me. This is a tragedy!" He declared. Harry chuckled and shook his head as Hermione and Ron stared at Ghirahim. Ghirahim glanced at the two and slowly allowed his tongue to slide from his mouth it's length far beyond anything they had seen.
"Ghirahim… Stop messing with people." Harry stated as Draco glared at him.
"Hey he's a demon but he helped me and prevented me from being possessed by the thing that made me try to destroy Hyrule over and over." Harry admitted with a shrug.
"Why would this thing want to possess you again?" Draco asked. Ghirahim started to laugh as he snuggled into Harry knowing it would make him at least a little uncomfortable. Harry growled at Ghirahim before looking at Draco.
"Because I am chosen. The chosen of Din as you are the Chosen of Farore and the Princess is the chosen of Nayru. By taking me it is one step closer to getting the full Tri-Force. Plus a ritual was performed over me in my first life to bind me to a piece of it which gives it much easier access to me." Harry explained.
"Demise wants full control over this world… and sees the Goddesses that refused him enemies and that the use of their relic to complete his ultimate ambition as the ultimate victory. He has become blind to any other thought." Ghirahim added as he continued to hold onto Harry.
"That name… It seems so familiar but again I can't remember. Why can't I when I clearly remember you not once but twice!" Draco snarled glaring at Harry.
"Oh that is simple. Your soul wasn't ready for the reincarnation curse Demise uttered with his defeat at your hands." Ghirahim explained with a nonchalant shrug. Harry slowly started to struggle at untangling Ghirahim from himself causing both Ron and Hermione to snigger and hide their faces. He glared at them then heard Luna begin to giggle as well.
"So your original master is why we kept being reborn though never before now did we remember that we were reborn." Darco said frowning his mind working through this as Luna herself froze and thought on this.
"We did have flashes and inspiration, but that is true we have never fully remembered the way we do this time. Well except him though now his memory is spotty." Luna said waving at Harry. Harry stopped his struggle glared at his friends in false betrayal at their laughing at him then looked back to Luna with a frown.
"What do you mean I'm not remembering everything? You were the only one to awake before me. Though now that I think about it that seems wrong.. Then again, I only died once and that is where my memories end!" Harry exclaimed.
"That is exactly it. You had 2 lives beyond that one. We fought against you each time. Even if one of those was really uncomfortable for me." Draco explained.
"What are you talking about? The last time I faced either of you I ended up with that blasted Master Sword through my chest and the Tri-Force of Power left me. I'm actually surprised to see it on me again." Harry admitted as he shoved Ghirahim off finally and rubbed at the mark on his hand.
"But we fought you after that. 3 more times even." Draco said. Luna nodded slowly as Ghirahim stood with a frown.
"When Demise's hate first was infused to you... You already had a strong personality then you had the Tri-Force of Power to keep your mind powerful enough to keep my former Master's hate from fulling taking you. Oh it still twisted you, enhanced all your darkest aspects but it itself could not control you, then you lost the Tri-Force piece plus your soul was reborn. A child does not have the knowledge of self or force of will to outpace even a piece of a Demon's spirit." Ghirahim stated. Everyone stared at him as he stood proudly explaining what had happened. "You were reborn like the other two but your true self was overrun and left to the subconscious unable to affect things."
"I was there then? Just… not actually conscious? Instead, it was that thing, those witches put in me?" Harry snarled.
"Yup! I could feel him the whole time, and what did he do? He left me to rot. Ignored his most devoted follower and servant. Oh, I hated him for that." Ghirahim snarled and started to shake. Draco's eyes went slightly wide and he moved as though to run pulling Luna with him. Harry looked and waited till it was obviously Ghirahim was about to explode.
"Ghirahim stop this at once. Blowing your top on the past will not help the present!" Harry snapped causing Ghirahim to freeze and straighten.
"Sorry Master. I almost lost my control. That would not have been very nice for anyone here to see." Ghirahim said before bowing deeply. Harry rolled his eyes.
"Ghirahim don't try to lie. You are a very emotion-driven demon. You just don't like to let others see you being so. I know cause I've seen you in several situations like this now." Harry pointed out. Ghirahim pouted at those words and vanished obviously hiding away.
"Well… that was… something." Draco said staring at the spot Ghirahim had been as he slowly released Luna.
"Yes well don't expect something else like this not to happen. He is a huge pain but useful in a few ways." Harry said.
"Link, you need to go back to your compartment. This can not get back to your father, let alone the thing he serves." Luna said. Harry immediately stiffened then swore violently.
"Draco before you go, listen carefully. Whatever you do. Do not let Voldemort find out that you are Link!" Harry growled out. Draco blinked and glared at Harry a bit.
"He wouldn't understand or care if he knew!" Draco exclaimed. Harry shut his eyes taking a few deep breaths.
"He would Draco. What was possessing me is in him now." Harry explained. Immediately Draco stopped and obviously thought about what was just told to him.
"This is going to be so weird. I was never the one to try and hide among the villains before." Draco said with a frown.
"True but you can't pull free from your family yet. Go and stay safe." Luna said. Draco nodded and left quickly still holding the wooden sword. Harry frowned a bit feeling a bit of worry over the other boy's safety.
