Chapter 25: Getting back to my old self
"Hyah Huh! Gnya! Ho!"
---Link you've grown soft. Give it all!--- ordered Impa.
Link put his hand on his stomach. He was breathing hard. Madam Pomfrey finally let him out, but she wanted Link to sleep there for a few nights. Link still had a scar on his stomach and on his back. Link shook his head rapidly. He still was a bit dizzy from the blood loss. He spent so much time in the hospital wing that Link lost some of his strength and speed. Impa was training him to become his normal fighting self again.
---You want to beat Shadow Link or not?!--- She asked furiously pouncing once again towards Link.
---Yeah, yeah! Anyways, I have one thing that he doesn't have.--- Link dodge the attack. Impa looked at him curiously. --- The Triforce of Courage, that's one thing that he can't get!---
Link swung his sword horizontally. Impa jumped to dodge his attack with ease. She had to admit, Link was getting better, but he still wasn't his fully strong self. No one was at the Quidditch pitch that night, for it was a free night, which meant no teams were allowed to practice.
Link suddenly fell to the ground, his endurance had dropped a lot too, and he couldn't keep his physical strength up cooked up in a bed. He put his hand on his chest, and dropped to his knees. Impa sheathed her dagger and ran to Link's side.
---Are you alright?--- She asked with much worry in her voice.
---It still hurts. Sorry, Impa-san, that's it for today.---
Link tried to stand up but only fell at the pain he felt in his chest. Impa caught him before he fell to the ground. Link closed his eyes, and turned a bit red. Impa looked at him blush. She smiled, which Link missed.
Link didn't want to go back to the Hospital Wing that night. He wanted to sleep in his own bed, with his new friends. He was tired of getting up at ridiculous hours by Madam Pomfrey. He realized, though, after experience, that the more he stayed the sooner he could leave.
---Can things get any worse?--- he asked Impa before she left the Wing.
---What do you mean?---
---It just seems the more I get involved around here, the more I get hurt, the more I miss out on protecting Saria-chan and Zelda-hime.---
---Link………---

"Listen carefully, Tori no Furute will be on the final exam. We did study it at the beginning of the year. This time we'll go more into detail about it. Flutes were a very important animal back in the Middle Ages, especially owls, a lot like the carrier owls we use today, when you receive your mail. Flutes were an instrument that musicians used to use, aside from the Muggle instrument lute."
Aside from McGonagall talking, quills were heard in the classroom. No one talking, everyone concentrating so hard.
"Once you've used the Tori no Furute spell, you can return the bird to its original state. You use the spell: Furute no Tori. They are very similar, but if you are evaluated, you must make sure that you do NOT get these two spells mixed."
Link raised his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Kurage?"
"If we are being evaluated on this, will you give us one of the two, and change it into the other?"
"Good question. If you are evaluated, yes I could give you one of the two. That's why I never showed you how to change your flutes back into birds. Alright, class dismissed"
Every one rushed out. Lunch was going to be a pain.
"Professor McGonagall?"
"Yes?"
"This flute……… It's very important to me. Heck, it's not even a flute, it's an ocarina. And this ocarina is infused with Hylian magic, I can't put it back in its bird form."
"Yes, I understand your dilemma……… Listen, I'll figure something out, and if it is your exam, I'll find a way, so you can keep your ocarina."
"Thank you, Professor."

---So unlike the other students, she said you could keep the Ocarina?!--- said Zelda happily.
---Yeah………---
---You're still troubled by Miyaku and Shadow Link aren't you?---- said Nabooru.
---I guess I'm still not over it………---
---Brother, you'll have to.---
---I know, I know, I know!---
Sara looked at him with worry. Her best friend nearly dies because of the Triforce, couldn't he just give it up? Sara thought about that. She would probably lose her best friend if he got rid of the Triforce.
---Link-chan? Can't you get rid of the Triforce? It would make things so much easier for--! ---
---NO!!!--- snapped Link.
---Saria-san, this is something that was made by destiny. It's something that Link cannot get rid of. He must bear the weight of what the Triforce has in store. Why do you think Miyaku took the shape of Shadow Link? Because he knew that Link would be the Heir to the Triforce of Courage, like I am the heir to the Triforce of Wisdom, and Ganondorf the heir of the Triforce of Power.--- explained Zelda, as simply as possible.
---Oh---
---And besides Saria,--- started Link ---I couldn't get rid of it even if my life depended on it!---
---Sorry to interrupt, guys. This might sound a bit off topic, but when are the Quidditch finals?----
The energetic voice sounded familiar. Every one was surprised to hear that voice. They didn't think they would never hear from her until they got back to Hyrule. At the door, was standing a blue-headed girl. Her hair was tied into two pigtails. Her eyes were aqua blue filled with happiness and worry. She had a smile also worry to match the worried eyes.
---What are you doing here?!--- asked Impa standing up from her desk.
---What else? I came to help ya'out! You guys didn't think you could do the job without me, can you???--- she said happily.
---Does that mean--?! ---
---Yup! That's right Rutoa Mizu is back in Hogwarts. But not as a student, but as a guest!!!---

A-M:I just realized something………
Maat: What?
A-M: In previous chappies, I knew how Saria-chan felt.
Maat: HA HA HA!!! How you're you and she's her!
A-M: Yes. That's true, but I have had that feeling. I had a concert downtown one day, and a very close friend of mine got "sick" and my teachers had to send her to the hospital. They wouldn't let me see her. I was devastated……… I was so worried. Every one knew that I needed to see her, my teachers even lied to me that she had left, which I found out that she didn't leave until 20 minutes later, by a person working at the place where I had my concert. She called be later that night I told me that she wanted to see ME before going to the hospital. I'm sorry guys, I had to share that with you. I was re-reading TAM and I realized this. Heh heh!
Maat: Wow! That's some story.
