-Harry's Visions-
December rolled in and with it more snow which was just fine with Saira. Hers and Dmitri's return to Hyrule was fast approaching and Saira was filled with excitement and fear. Dmitri on the other hand was looking forward to it with every fiber of his being. He was spending enormous amounts of time with Aranel since it would only be him and Saira going.
Saira and Legolas had to train in an empty classroom because the snow was so deep. Liz was waiting for her father's permission to go to Hyrule with Saira.
"Did you get an answer back yet?" Saira asked
"Yeah" Liz said pretending to be disappointed "He was reluctant but he said yes. But he wanted me to ask if you guys would be willing to come to Rivendell for the summer"
"I'll ask Legolas but 'yay' you get to come to my world"
That night was the last DA meeting before the holidays. Everyone was doing much better since they started the meetings and Hermione even suggested the Elves add their magical expertise by teaching some of their spells as well.
Saira went to the courtyard alone to get ahead on the mountain of homework the 5th years got. She just finished her Potions when Dmitri burst in.
"Love, I have the tragedy of tragedies!" he yelled dramatically kneeling in front of her
"What could that possibly be?" Saira asked trying real hard to not laugh
"I.don't know.. what to get Aranel for Christmas" he said as if it were painful
"Is that all? C'mon Dmitri I thought you were more clever than this" Saira said "Okay well the obvious thing is to get her something form Hyrule"
"That's perfect," he cried "But what to I get her from Hyrule?"
"Well depending on what's left of it really. Oh why don't you get her a bottle of blue fire? It will never go out"
"Even more perfect. Thank you love. So...whatcha working on?"
"Our Christmas homework" Saira sighed
"Now? But the break hasn't started yet"
"I don't want to have to worry about it on the break Dmitri. The sooner I finish the better. And you better not leave it to the last minute"
"I wont. Hey, why aren't you with your lover boy? You have problems with the Elf?"
"No, its just that Dumbledore doesn't think I should draw too much attention to myself and since I have a boyfriend whose nearly 3,000 and sort of famous, its difficult" Saira said casually.
"Well you'll always have me. Now c'mon there's no reason for this to be an unhappy time. You haven't had any visions and nothing bad besides Umbridge has happened"
"Dmitri thanks a lot. Now you've just jinxed me," Saira said distressed
"Is there any way to take it back?" he asked hopefully
"Nope"
That night was not good for Harry or Saira. While Harry slept, Saira was seeing everything he was dreaming while she sat at her window. It was as if she was dragged into his dream and forced to watch it. First he dreamt about Cho, which did not make any sense. Saira watched with curiosity. His dream was changing and so was he until Harry was an enormous snake. He slithered down a long passageway where a red-haired man sat drowsing. Harry left the man alone until he woke up and drew his wand. Harry reared and struck three times but Saira couldn't more.
She screamed "Harry! No!"
Liz scrambled out of her bed and ran to Saira who was still screaming. She was trembling all over and the color was gone from her face. All the girls were gathered around her and Liz was comforting her
"Saira what happened?" Liz asked quietly
"I-I don't know. I just saw it. It can't be real but he was there. I was there. Couldn't stop him" Saira rambled
There was shouting outside their room. Saira got up and ran out. McGonagall was leading Harry and Ron out. Harry met Saira's gaze and there was a look of understanding between them both. He could tell by her appearance that he wasn't the only on having bad dreams. Several minutes later all the Weasleys left and everyone was forced to go back to bed. Saira had a small vision of Umbridge coming down the corridor so she went to warn McGonagall.
"Professor?" she yelled down to her
"Go to bed Miss Trinity"
"Umbridge is in the main hall. Go another way"
McGonagall gave a half smile and nodded. Everyone back in her room was completely confused but Saira refused to answer any question.
The next morning none of the other girls would talk to Saria but she didn't mind since their were getting their trunks ready. Everything was going smoothly and the only hard part was prying Dmitri and Aranel away from another when it was time to leave.
"Okay Saira. I have a favor to ask" Legolas said as they waited by the lake for the portal to appear
"What?"
Legolas asked her to disguise them and she was done by the time the portal appeared. They all emerged in the large Temple of Time and Legolas took Saira's hand, who gripped it back tightly. There was a long silent moment broken by Dmitri dropping his trunk. Liz slapped him upside the head and rolled her eyes.
"Saira, this is amazing" Liz said
"Welcome to the Temple of Time. We're standing on the platform where the Hero of Time pulled the legendary Master Sword from its pedestal" Saira said proudly.
She didn't know why she freaked out in the summer. After all she'd lived there all her life and watched it become what it was and back then she was fearless willing to risk all danger for Link.
"We should get a move on," Legolas said
Half an hour later they were all climbing the last steps to Kakariko Village where Shiek was waiting for them. Saira bowed respectfully knowing who it really was. Without a single word she led them to an empty wall. Saira changed everyone back before Shiek spoke.
"Welcome to the home of Stuart and Vienne Alonde"
Suddenly a large wooden door appeared on the wall. Dmitri kicked the door open and walked in. Everyone followed.
"Dmitri! Saira!" Vienne was cooking at the stove on the far wall in the kitchen. Her tall thin figure was still the same but her hair was much lighter. Her eyes brightened at the sight of them.
"Mum!" Dmitri ran to Vienne and gave her a hug
Saira joined them. Stu walked in from the hall to the right. However Dmitri did not hug him like Saira did. They shook hands as if it were the manly thing to do. Legolas and Liz were still standing by the door so Saira decided to introduce them.
"Vienne, Stu, this is my friend Liz and you've met Legolas" Saira said
Vienne hugged Liz too and bade everyone to come have a seat.
"Vienne?" saira asked, "Where's Link?"
"He'll be here shortly." But there was a hint of worry in her voice. "Stu, why don't you take their things upstairs"
Soon the room was reminiscing about Saira and Dmitri's adventures through Hyrule. As the hours went on, Saira was starting to wonder whether Link was going to show up until someone knocked on the door.
Nobody moved so saira go up and went to the door. Slowly she cracked it open and Link was standing casually in the doorway with snowflakes in his hair
"Hey little sis" he said but Saira didn't move. She crossed her arms and stared.
"You're late"
Link smiled broadly then walked in with his arms outstretched. He wrapped them around Saira and picked her up closing the door behind him. He twirled her around. Saira lost her serious disposition and smiled
"I missed you so much" she said
They hugged for a long time before they realized everyone was staring at them
"Shall we eat?" Vienne said
Vienne had prepared a feast for them. After everyone had gone through seconds and thirds they began heading off to bed. After awhile only Link and Saira remained.
"How has school been?" Link asked
"The homework is nearly as bad as my visions" Saira said
"But you're learning a lot?"
"Yes, just like you told me to"
"That I did. I almost envy you. I never got to go to a school."
"Yeah I guess getting stuck in another dimension would make it just a little hard," Saira said trying to be funny but it didn't come out right
"You're still mad about me leaving aren't you?"
"No, I'm not mad.at you"
"Then who are you mad at?"
"The sages and Zelda. All this is her fault" Saira said coldly surprised she'd actually said it.
"It was meant to be and no one's fault"
"No because Zelda asked you to go on that adventure. If you hadn't retrieved the stones and gone to the temple as she instructed, you might have never left. There were alternate choices. Being a Seer I'm used to things being foretold but I hate it" Saira was yelling but wasn't meaning to
"You're right"
"What?" Saira didn't expect that
"You're probably right but if you want to get technical it was the Deku Tree, not Zelda and I don't think you're capable of hating him"
"You're right. So will we get to see home?" Saira asked
"Yeah. Get to bed. It's late"
Saira made her way to her room which was across from Legolas.' There was a light coming form underneath the door so Saira knocked quietly. Legolas opened the door and let her in.
"Can you not sleep?" she asked
"Can I ever?"
"No I suppose not"
"What about you? I heard shouting downstairs."
"It was nothing" Saira said
"Didn't sound like nothing"
"My brother and I have never really talked about what happened all the way through"
"Why not?"
"When he returned we were so happy that we blocked our real feelings. Inside I was angrier than hell. I hated him for leaving but I wouldn't tell him because I was afraid he might leave again. We still avoid the topic"
"Maybe you should go back down and talk to him. It's about time you got it out"
"I don't want to with everyone around. We are going to Kokiri together sometime so if we go alone first we can talk"
"It's late. Get to bed"
Saira went to her room she was sharing with Liz and she was already asleep. Saira changed her clothes and sat in her bed. She wasn't tired and was overcome by a strange sadness. She was home but it saddened her to be here. She fell asleep with wet cheeks.
December rolled in and with it more snow which was just fine with Saira. Hers and Dmitri's return to Hyrule was fast approaching and Saira was filled with excitement and fear.
