I DO not own Harry potter or LoZ
Link got up from the table with a majority of the third years heading to divination while Harry Hermione and Ron were still talking about schedules.
While standing with the rest of the class under the trapdoor in the ceiling that lead to the room for divination Link noticed Harry and the others coming up the stairs. As the group reached the landing Harry commented on how they were supposed to get up to the room when the door opened and a ladder came down and everyone fell silent.
Harry climbed the ladder first and the rest of the class followed. The decor of the room was odd and it was hot and stuff with the fire burning. A soft misty voice came from the shadows
"Welcome. How nice to see you in the physical world at last." it spoke.
The teacher was odd looking with large glasses that magnified her eyes and she was draped in a gauzy spangled shawl. she also had many chains and beads around her neck and bangles and rings on her arms and fingers.
Harry Ron and Hermione sat around a table and Link walked up to them and silently asked to join them. Harry looked at the other two who merely shrugged after sharing a glance so Harry nodded and link sat down.
The teacher professor Trelawney then proceed to introduce herself and explain the subject. She then gave people warnings and told them what they would be studying this year in the subject. Trelawney then asked a girl to hand her a silver teapot from the shelf and told her the thing she dreading will happen on october 16.
People started to split into pairs as per instructions and went to get tea cups. Neville who dropped his cup which would have broke if Link didn't catch it before it hit the ground yet Trelawney came over with a dustpan and said to Neville to take a blue one.
"But professor it didn't break" said Neville holding the pink teacup in his hand.
"No no. Thats not possible it was supposed to break. How did it not break?" Trelawney started muttering to herself yet everyone heard her and Neville told her how Link caught it before it broke.
Trelawney then turned to Link and asked for his cup and he complied and handed her his empty cup. She took the cup and walked away presumably to help other students while Link just sat there cupless.
The rest of divination went on uneventfully except for the part when Trelawney predicted Harry's death when she saw the grim in his cup Harry and the rest of the class seemed shaken except for Hermione who stood up looked in the cup and said she didn't think that it looked like the grim. After a short argument about whether or not it was a grim or donkey Harry snapped at everyone for discussing him dieing Trelawney told them to pack up.
Next on the schedule was transfiguration with McGonagall so everyone left at the bell and headed to the class.
During transfiguration everyone in the class kept looking back at Harry almost as if they expected him to drop dead any second even as professor McGonagall explained what an animagi was and even transformed into a cat in front of them.
When she didn't receive a reaction from the class she turned back into a human and questioned them. It was Hermione who spoke and told her what happened in divination but to her and everyone else's surprise McGonagall cut her off before she could finish.
"There is no need to say any more Miss Granger. Now tell me which one of you will be dying this year?"
Everyone stared at her as Harry told her that it was him who would die. After which she told them that professor trelawney favorite way to greet a new class is by predicting someone's death.
After this was said Harry felt better and less worried and the rest of class seemed convinced. After all Neville's cup didn't break like she predicted so why would this be any different.
When transfiguration finished everyone headed to the great hall for lunch. During lunch Ron and Hermione got into an argument about the grim being an omen for death or the cause of it. As the argument progressed it turned into Hermione finally being bad at a subject and liking it for that reason after this was said she stormed off.
After lunch was care of magical creatures which was taking place outside down by the hut on the lawn. As Link made his way down to the class he noticed the blonde hair of the slytherin boy he froze that morning. With a faint smile on his face he continued making his way down.
Once everyone was in front of the cabin Hagrid began to lead them around the edge of the forest and about 5 minutes later they were at empty padlock.
"Everyone gather round the fence here!" Hagrid called " now the first thing you want to do is open yer books-"
"How?" said the ever cold and snide voice of Draco Malfoy. "Eh?" Hagrid said while looking at him with a confused look as took out his book and held it up showing it to be bound shut by a length of rope.
"Hasn anyone bin able to open their books?" Hagrid asked looking defeated slightly at least till 2 hands went up among the students.
Link and Harry had their hands up and were holding their books open while the rest of the class looked at them in shock. "Now then for the rest of you you have to stroke em" said Hagrid who was beaming now.
"Oh how silly we've all been!" Malfoy sneered "we should have stroked them! Why didn't we guess!"
"I-I thought they were funny" Hagrid said almost uncertainly to Hermione.
Oh, tremen-" Malfoy was then cut off by a growl behind him. The growl was so wolf like and feral that most the class moved away in fear of an actual wolf being there. As Malfoy turned around he found himself staring at the face of Link who had his sword/wand drawn. He put his finger to his lips in a sign to be quite. Malfoy who had a look of terror in his eyes merely nodded which seemed to satisfy Link to the point he put his "wand" back on his back looked to Hagrid and nodded telling him to continue.
"Righ' then" said Hagrid who seemed to have lost his train of thought "so yeh've your books an'- an'- now yeh need the magical creatures. I'll go get em. Hang on…" he strode into the forest and out of sight.
While Hagrid was gone Malf looked like he wanted to say something but one look behind him quickly put that thought to rest as Link was still glaring at him. A girl ooooooooohed as a bunch of creatures came from the opposite end of the padlock that had the body of a horse and an eagle combined.
"Hippogriffs!" Hagrid roared happily "beau'ful aren' they? So if yeh wan' ter come a bit nearer-"
No one in the class except Harry, Ron, Hermione and Link parched the fence. Hagrid then proceed to talk about hippogriffs and how they're easily offended while Malfoy and his two friends talked in low whispers.
"Right - who wants ter go first"" Hagrid asked. At this most the class backed away further and even Harry and the other two had misgivings. "No one?" Hagrid said with a pleading look.
Harry opened his mouth to speak but Link walked forward before he could. "Link! Anyone else?" Hagrid asked "I'll do it too" Harry said. "Good men you two!" Hagrid roared. "Right then Harry let's see how yeh get on with Buckbeak an' Link yeh can have that chesnut one over there."
Hagrid untied two hippogriffs, pulled them away from the others and took off their leather class on the other side of the padlock was holding its breath while Malfoy was glaring at them.
While Hagrid was instructing Harry on what do Link walked up to his hippogriff and before he could bow the hippogriff bowed first so he walked up to it and began to stroke it feathers when buckbeak bowed to Harry.
When Harry looked up from his bow he saw Link was already stroking his hippogriffs feathers. As Harry approached buckbeak and began to pet his beak the class applauded while Malfoy and his gang looked disappointed. Hagrid then turned to Link to see if he was doing alright only to be shocked that he was already petting the hippogriff.
"Righ' then Harry I reckon he might let yeh ride him!" Hagrid told Harry. This was more than Harry bargained for yet when he looked around for someone to get him out Link merely shook his head and shrugged silently saying go with it so he did.
While Harry was in the air with buckbeak Link and Hagrid had a conversation or at least as much of a conversation someone can have with one who doesn't talk about animals and how Link has always been good with them.
By the time Harry came down the class was emboldened by Link and Harry's success and cautiously climbed into the padlock while hagrid untied the rest of the hippogriffs and Link and Harry stepped out to give others a turn. Ron and Hermione were practicing on the chestnut one while Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle took buckbeak.
Buckbeak had bowed to Malfoy and who was now patting his beak looking disdainful. "this is very easy." Malfoy drawled loud enough that everyone could hear him. "I knew it must of been if potter could do it… I bet you're not dangerous at all are you?" he said to Buckbeak. "Are you, you big ugly brute?"
As soon as Link heard this spoken he moved as fast as he could, despite the fact that this Malfoy kid deserved it he couldn't let a child get hurit when he could prevent it. In a flash of steely talons Malfoy screamed and laid in the grass while Hagrid wrestled Buckbeak back into his collar and Link stood over him looking at him. There were gasps throughout the class and nervous whispers.
As soon as Malfoy stood up he stared at Link with wide that was until he was punched out cold a moment later by the same person who just saved him. "Are yeh alright?" asked Hagrid with worry clear on his face. as Link turned around there were gasps and cries of shock from the rest of the class due to the amount of blood pouring from the long gashes on his back. Yet he merely nodded and pointed to Malfoy then up to the castle.
Hagrid cleared his throat "right then" he said while picking up Malfoys limp body "Class dismissed." Hagrid then proceed up to the castle with malfoy slung over his shoulder. The rest of the class followed them up to the castle leaving Link alone in the clearing. Link gave a sigh as he reached into his pouch and pulled out a bottle filled with a red potion which he swallowed in one gulp and then followed the rest of the gryffindors up to the common room.
