The Legend of Zelda and the Sorcerer's Stone
Chapter IV
The Hogwarts Expess
Soon the morning of September first arrived. Link quickly got dressed and looked out the window. Sunlight poured into the room, causing Zelda to shakingly wake up.
"What? What happened?" She said groggly.
"We need to be at this King's Cross place by eleven, remember?" Link said.
"Oh..right," Zelda said.
"So..How are we going to get there?" Link asked.
"I have no idea."
"Well..that's nice. I'll go get something to eat. Meet me down there," Link quietly opened the door and walked down the stairs.
Several people were reading the newspaper, The Daily Prophet. Link bought several muffins, then walked up the stairs, only to be met by a middle-aged woman. She had short brown hair, with specks of black here and there,and was wearing clothing simalar to theirs. Her childish face gleamed, and her blue eyes were almost cat-like.
"'Ello, you wouldn't happen to be a boy named Link would you?"
"Yes..I'm Link, why?" he said.
"Good, i'm here to take you to King's Cross. We've got a Ministry car parked outside, get you're stuff and let's go!" She walked down the stairs.
Link unlocked the door to the room and walked in. Zelda was looking out the window. "Erm...Zelda? Ready?"
She turned around, "Huh? Oh..okay."
They each grabbed their trunks, and their owl cages, and walked down the stairs. "Ready?" The woman said.
"I guess," Zelda said.
They walked outside and saw a strange metal peice of equiptment, Link guessed, it was a 'car'. Suddenly the back popped open. "Put your stuff in there and shut it."
They walked over to the opening and put their trunks in the place, then shut it.
"Get in, your owl cages can sit next to you," the woman opened the door and Link and Zelda stepped in.
There wasn't much room, and both their owls hooted insanely through the whole trip. About half an hour later the woman spoke again, breaking the odd silence.
"We're here, get your stuff and lets go," the woman spoke. They then heard a click, and the back "trunk" opened again.
As they got their things, and the woman walked over to them, with a grin on her face, "Never been in a car before, have you?"
"Erm..." Link begain.
"Strange things...Nobody really knows how they work without magic...and how muggles get along without magic. We can't ask them, or they'll think we're insane. Go get a cart and put your stuff on there. Then come back here," she ordered.
Link was the first to come back, followed by his friend. "Do you actually think we're gonna get back?" he muttered.
Her crystal blue eyes met his, "I hope so Link."
"Ready, now stay close..."
They both wheeled their carts, following her, getting strange looks from passing men, women, and children. Eventually, the woman stopped, pointed to the wall between platforms nine and ten.
"You see that wall?"
They nodded.
"Drive your cart right into there, okay?" she said.
"Thank you for your help! Oh yes!" Zelda begain, "what was your name?"
"I'm Nyphadora Tonks," the woman known as "Nyphadora" said. "Good day."
She turned, walked through the massive on-lookers, and eventually dissapeared.
"Hey Zelda? Why are you so nice?" asked Link, aiming his cart.
"Why are you so rude?" she replied, giving him anasty look.
"Whatever," he said, right there... without warning, he sped towards the wall.
"LINK" the Hylian Princess yelled out. She stopped breathing, He would crash at any second...
"Whoo!" exclaimed Link as he strangely, went through the wall! He stopped the cart, and looked at what he saw before him. A larger version of the car he was recently in was before him, on a set of tracks.
"AHH!" a childish voice screamed as something slammed into his back. "Zelda..." he spat, "get off of my back..."
"Sorry..." said Zelda as she rolled the cart away.
He rubbed his back, soothing the pain away. A girl, about his age, walked over to them. She had bushy brown hair and dressed in the dress robes they all had purchased. A look of concern was spread across her face. "Are you allright?" she asked him.
"Fine..." he croaked, still rubbing his back.
"That's good, you two should put your luggage down there," her voice went from concerned to happy. She pointed to a luggage compartment on the...vehicle.
"Thanks," said Zelda.
"No problem!" the girl said, walking away.
They both walked their carts to the luggage compartment, in a line. Two older boys were helping a boy who looked their age. He had messy, jet-black hair, broken, round glasses, and pale-green eyes. However, the most unusual thing about this boy was the lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead.
"...that's me," the boy said, as ifin conversation with the two.
"Exuse us," Link muttered, placing his luggage in the compartment, pulling out his wand so it wouldn't get stolen. It was long and wooden basically. It had a rough texture, which reminded him of his ridgid personality. He slowly entered the Hogwarts Express through the door and entered, Zelda behind him.
The hallways were small and doors dotted the walls. All were occupied eccept one at the end. Link opened the door, and soon found it was occupied, by the boy whom Link had seen by the luggage compartment.
"Mind if we sit in here?" he Link asked.
"No...not at all," said the boy.
Link slumped into the seat across from him, Zelda beside him.
A long silence followed, Zelda, finally broke it.
"I'm Zelda," she introduced herself.
"Link," he muttered.
The boy flinched a little, "I'm...you probably already know me."
Link raised an eyebrow, "no..."
His eyes widened, "really? You're like...the first people not to know who I am! Well...I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
"So...Harry...What's with that scar on your head?" Link asked.
"Link! That's rude!" blurted Zelda.
Harry silenced her, "no...don't worry. Well, it's kinda hard to explain. You see, i've only known how I got it for a month, though I've had it my whole life-"
The door slowly open, and a boy with red hair poked his head through, "mind if I sit here?"
"Not at all..Ron?" Link asked, remembering the name of the boy who he met at the book shop.
"Oh hey Link!" he turned to Harry to sit next to him, "blimey! You're...Harry Potter!"
"Yes...I know that," Harry replied.
"Ron Weasley," he said, holding out his hand, Harry shaking it.
"Fred and George weren't lying!"
"Oh...well, anyway. When I was one, my parents died in a..."car crash"...on my eleventh birthday, this guy named Hagrid came and told me I was a wizard and how I really got this scar. Anyway, this guy named Voldemort-"
Ron gasped, "you said...You-Know-Who's name!"
"Voldemort? What's so bad about saying it? Is it like...forsaken or something?" Link asked.
Ron flinched, then nodded.
Harry looked at Ron oddly, "well...anyway...You-Know-Whocame to my house, killed my parents, tried to kill me, but couldn't. It backfired and...did something to him. I survived, with this scar."
One of Zelda's eyebrows rose, "that's...weird."
"Yeah..." Link added.
"I live with my Aunt, Uncle, and my cousin. It's just weird...Anyway, what're your parents like?" asked Harry.
"My mom died when I was a baby," said Zelda.
"Mine are..."Link stopped. "I never knew mine. They died when I was a baby."
"Oh..." Harry mumbled.
Ron spoke up, "you could say mine are the..."perfect wizard parents." I have five brothers and one sister. It's a full house. My dad works at the Ministry of Magic, and my mum stays at home most of the time. And I'm second-youngest too."
"Bummer," said Harry.
A couple of hours passed. They had conversations about random things, such as, what their life was like (Link and Zelda lying, of course), their future, and Ron's rat, Scabbers. Link eventually pulled his left hand up to scratch his head, but instead got asoft "woah!" from Harry.
"What happend to your arm?"
"Um..." he looked at Zelda. "Accident...I got scratched really hard there...long time ago..."
Ron nodded in response.
The compartment doorquickly opened, and thegirl who had questioned Linkearlier camein, a quivering boy beside her,"exuse me, but Neville herehas appearedto have lost histoad...have you seen it?"
All fourshook their heads.
Thegirl looked at Harry, "you're Harry Potter...aren't you? I'veread aboutyou before."
"Yeah, I am," Harryreplied, sounding annoyed of people asking him who he was.
"I'm HermioneGranger, and I've heard we're gettingclose toHogwarts...It would be wise to get things in order,now wouldit?" she said.
Link raised an eyebrow. Hermione Granger turn
"O...kay..." saidRon.
Several minutespassed and thedoor soon opened againThis time, three boys walked in. One waspalewith sleek blonde hair and gray eyes entered, already dressed in his robes, with two large, mean-looking boys next to him.
"So...I guess it is true...the famous Harry Potter is here..." the blonde-haired boy said. "My name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. They're Crabbe and Goyle"
Ron coughed.
"Think my name's funny, do you?" said Malfoy, gazing at Ron, "you're a Weasley aren't you?" he then turned to Harry, "you should be wise as to who to be friends with..."
"I canchoose my friendson my own, thank you very much," Harry replied.
Malfoy's eyes narrowed, "I'd be careful if I were you, Potter. Hanging out with people like Weasleys will give you the same fate as your parents-"
Ron stoodup, along with Harry. "Say that again," sneered Ron.
"Going to fight us now are you?"
"Only if youdon'tleave," said Zelda suddenly.
Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle all turned to her. "Make me," said Malfoy.
Zelda crossed her arms. Malfoy moved his arm, looking like he was going to grab her. Immeadeatly, Link grabbed Malfoy's wrist and squeezed hard.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Link saw Crabbe move back his arm, ready to punch. He immeadeatly let go of Malfoy's wrist, ducked, dodged the punch, and kicked Crabbe in the shin. In response, Crabbe grabbed his leg in pain. While standing up, Link elbowed the boy in the stomach. A low grunt escaped his lips as he topeled over. Link then turned to Goyle who was trying to punch him too. Link grabbedthe fist just before it hit him, and landed a kick in Goyle's stomach.
Malfoy shot Link a nasty glare, then left, followed by Crabbe and Goyle.
"Woah..." muttered Harry.
Ron stood up again and looked at Link, "where'd ya learn to do that?"
"Um...I just did..." Link said.
Sorry this took so long...I did alot of things to distract me. And I had to put Tonks in here! I dunno why...I just did.
PS I had to edit this chapter...I forgot some things.
