Hermione joined the boys. She was wearing a gown of red and white detailing. She looked happy, but bothered. "It's wonderful here." She sighed, " But we need to find a way back."
"Agreed." Harry said.
"Oh, I forgot, Hermione!" Ron said in mock shock and disappointment, "The History of Magic exam is tomorrow! We certainly can't miss that, can we?"
Harry snorted in laughter, "Aww and we didn't have time to revise for divination! What a shame!"
Hermione turned a deep crimson. Her hair stood up a little more and her voice had a sharp edge as she said. "I know it different to you harry, but I thought RONALD here might have some respect for his poor mother and Father, worried and scared and..." a tear came to her eyes. "But if you dont care about getting back of the people who love you then FINE" she walked out arms crossed.
"Woa!" Ron snorted, "What's got her wand in a twist?"
Harry shrugged, watching her leave.
"Oi!"
The two boys turned around to see a fully recovered Link striding over to them.
"Good news! Zelda might have found a way to get you lot home!"
Hermione turned sharply. "Don't worry." She said in a calm, but dangerous voice. "These two don't WANT to." She was mildly sarcastic. "You'll have to put up with them because they obviously don't care." She sighed dramatically.
"Hooo." Link blew, "What's got into you?"
"How do we get home?" Harry said quickly, before anything else happened.
"Apparently, there's something called the "Goddess' Wand"" Link paused for effect, "It's a wand crafted by the goddesses." he blushed, "I-I was meant to pick it up on my travels... but-"
"But what?"
"I ran out of Rupees on the Bombchu Bowling game." He said quietly and quickly, "Anyway! At the time it was in the possession of a man called the Happy Mask Salesmen. However, according to him, he went and lost it in a bet against a Zora when he was drunk." Link rolled his eyes.
"And it's the only known way of getting back?" Harry said.
"Yes."
"Brilliant." Ron sighed.
"What do we do, then?" Harry asked.
"We go to Zora's Domain."
Naia flew around Ron's shoulders. "Yay! Adventure!" She held a small stick aloft as if it was a sword. "Behold my master twig!" She said in a deep voice. She giggled and flitted around.
They set off straight away, travelling across Hyrule field and heading for the river.
When they got to it, they followed the bank directly east up a valley type natural avenue.
Soon, they came to a waterfall, with no other way to go.
"What do we do now?" Harry said.
Silently, Link slipped the ocarina out of his pocket and placed it to his lips. He started to play a lullaby tune.
All of a sudden, the waterfall parted to reveal a cave hidden behind it.
"Woa." Harry and Ron both gasped.
"C'mon!" Link said, smiling and jumping over the ledge they were stood on into the mouth of the cavern. He turned around and held his hand out to Hermione, as gentleman would to a young lady.
"Uh... Thank you." She said as she took his hand and hopped across the stones. "What exactly... Is a Zora?" She asked.
"LINK!"
"OOF!" As they entered Zora's Domain, a beautiful cavern of waterfalls and a lake at the bottom, a blue woman bombarded Link, knocking him off the side of the ledge and into the water below.
He swam back up to the surface, coughing, "RUTO!" However, he said it in an angry tone.
The woman was floating towards him, grinning like a little girl. She laughed, "You came back!"
"Yeah." He said awkwardly, swimming away from her a bit.
"You came back for our wedding!"
Link's eyes widened. "W-well, uh, we can go somewhere else!" He yelled to Harry and the others and started to swim frantically towards the shore.
"Married?" Hermione scoffed. She smiled. Naia started to say, "You, know link, I didn't think you were the marrying type!" She giggled.
