Well, here's chapter 4! All roar for chapter four!!! (raises arms up to audience of like 5 people) awkward silence... (cough) umm yea well here's chapter 4 it might be the last chapter I can get out before exams so don't expect chapter 5 until after schools out.... anyway.....

"School of witchcraft and wizardry?" Link repeated aghast. He had only encountered a few people who could be classified as either a witch or a wizard... and he didn't really like Twinrova... at all, and he hated Gannon more then anything. Yet the aura these people gave off was anything but evil. Link shook his head slowly placing a hand on his forehead, pulling his hat even lower on his ears, making it cast a small shadow over his eyes.

The elder man smiled attempting to cheer the yong man up noticing his pained and shocked look. "So what happened to you?" He said changing to a more pressing subject. "Hagrid here says he found you passed out just outside of the castle doors."

Link blinked wondering how to respond to that. He figured a vague lie would be best considering how far fetched the truth sounded. "I had come through from a near-by town, but my horse became spooked... by the storm and she threw me off. I think I hit my head on something on the way down which is why I passed out." Link said smoothly slowly rising and walking over to where his sword and shield were placed, wincing as he equipped them.

The elder man nodded seemingly accepting the answer. "So it was yer horse?" a new voice asked. Link half glared and silently coursed at not noticing his presence sooner.

Link turned towards the man and his eyes went wide. 'He's as tall as a Goron!' Link thought. "Yes, did you see her?" Link asked quickly recovering from his minor shock.

The tall man nodded. "She came runnin' over ta my hut in the of the night. I've got her in my paddock so there's no need ta worry about her too much. She's a beauty by the way"

Link smiled at the knowledge his horse was alright. "Thank you" he bowed slightly. When he stood upright again he lost his balance but kept standing.

"Don't push yourself dear!" Madam Pomfry half yelled as she saw her patient struggle to stand.

Link gave a slightly embarrassed grin. "I'm alright really. I've never been one to stay in a hospital waiting to recover." Link said greatly implying that he wouldn't stay in the hospital any longer.

Link made his way to the door before turning to face the trio in the room "I thank you for your kindness but I need to be on my way... there is something I need to take care of." Link bowed again and went to move out of the door. As soon as he took his second step a large hand fell on his shoulder stopping him. Link turned to look at the tall man confused.

"We wouldn't fell right if we just let ya go by yourself." the tall man said

"Your not fully recovered!" The woman said with concern radiating off of her.

"Please stay for dinner, besides I believe there is something you and I must discuses" the elder man said with an all knowing smile.

Link looked between the three before subsiding and nodding. Dumbledore smiled "well then Hagrid here shall show you around the school" he motioned to the half giant. "After which please come to my office and then we shall go to dinner." Link suddenly got an odd vibe from the elder man, he knew it wasn't evil but he could tell the old man wanted something from him.

As Hagrid led Link out of the room he shot a glance back over at Dumbledore. Faintly he heard the nurse complaining about him being up and moving around and not resting.

Following the tall man around Link was able to place mantel markers so he would, hopefully, remember how to get from point A to point B, as he had the sinking felling he was going to have to stay here for a while. Hagrid showed Link the way to each of the common rooms used by the students, and where the classes were held. He was shown where his beloved horse was grazing and where the literary and great hall was. The castle was vast and reminded Link of Hyrule castle. Another twinge of homesickness struck him as he, yet again remembered he would probably never again see those endless green fields that he had sworn to protect.

The forbidden forest however, seemed to draw Link in.. It felt as though it was calling out to him trying desperately to get anyone's attention. Link stared intently towards the woods trying to make out what was in there. "Hey?" Hagrid shook Link back to his senses giving the yong blonde an odd look after a quick apology they continued along. Not more then a minute after Link heard a loud shrill ringing.

Looking around eyes wild searching for any possible threat. The castles alarm seemed intent on giving him a headache. Though he knew there was something attacking, he just couldn't spot the danger. A second later the ringing stopped, and Link looked up to the tall man inquisitively. In turn The tall man looked confused. "Has the threat been dealt with?" He asked confused still ready to spring on the first sign of danger.

"Threat?" Hagrid asked raising an eyebrow.

"Wasn't that an alarm?"

"No, just the school bell... it tells the students when the period is over." The tall man explained calming the green clad teen. "Come on now, I'll show you to Dumbledore's office."

Link nodded sending one last glance towards the forest before continuing to follow the tall bearded man. It took all of ten minutes to get to the office. Link had jumped back a bit when the statues started moving, thinking they would attack but otherwise an uneventful trip. Once they went inside and Dumbledore allowed Hagrid his leave, Link felt increasingly awkward under the gaze of the elder mans gaze.

"Well now, where shall I start?" The white bearded man said eyes twinkling, his all knowing smile on his face. "Perhaps you could tell me what happened to the statue that was outside the great hall doors?" The man said smile never wavering. Link opened his mouth to speak raised an eyebrow, then shut his mouth again unsure how to respond. "My boy you needn't worry, I was the one who brought you here after all."

"So what do you know?" Link asked tentivly opting to take a seat.

"Only as much as the folklore has provided." The elder man began rummaging through a drawer looking for something. "Lemondrop?" he offered. Link accepted the candy not wanting to be rude.

"Now then as the legend goes, there once was a great hero who lived so far back no one can recall that time, back when the first wizards were just starting to emerge. The hero was said to have over come many trials attempting to purge the world of all evil. When the hero succeeded, and the world was at peace, and as the years went by no new evil came about. As the years went on and the hero got older a great prophet had a vision that someday the hero would be needed again but unsure as when that day would arrive and the hero being a mortal, the wizards had a proposition. The prophet knew that only the hero could defeat this evil and so the wizards asked the hero if they could seal away his body within an enchanted stone, so that when the evil came about the hero would be released. The hero agreed and so gathered his belongings that would aid him when the time came, mounted his steed, and raised his sword. The wizards quickly sealed his body, simotaniously putting his soul to sleep." Dumbledore smiled finishing

Link had sat silently listening and he knew what question was coming up next. "So my boy, how much of that legends is actually true?"
