Hello to everyone who may be reading this. If the title sounds familiar to you well here's the reason why. I wrote this story back about 3 or 4 years ago I can't quite remember and then inexplicitly I deleted my all my stories and changed my username. Honestly I really can't even be bothered to remember why I did that. Being a whacko high school kid I guess. Well browsing through my Google Drive a few days I stumbled across this story and got the feeling to throw it back on FanFiction. I'll change a few things here and there but nothing too dramatic. Hope I didn't upset anyone when I disappeared and burned a few bridges.

The Legend of Harry Potter

Mountains, forests, and rivers surround the nearby landscape. The quite scenery is nothing short of breathless, with the sky shining brightly and the quietness of the air giving this an almost picture like image. But the silence is suddenly broken by the faint sounds of the Hogwarts Express, which could be heard for miles. On board the train hundreds of anxious students sat, talking to their friends about their summers trips and excitement for the upcoming year. In one cabin towards the middle of the train sat Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter, the golden trio of Hogwarts. Hermione was reading a book on new spells and techniques, her bushy brown hair slightly covering her eyes, making in somewhat difficult to read. Ron sat across from her, complaining about how the food cart had not arrived yet and how he was starving for something to eat. Harry sat next to him, his head against the window watching the scenery fly by, his thoughts somewhere else.

"Ugh how far are we? I'm starving!" Ron complained, slumping into his eat.

"Is food all you care about? What about your education Ron?" replied Hermione, looking over the top of her book.

"I do to think about my education…after I eat of course." Ron said, laughing at his own statement.

Harry had his mind on other matters. As he stared out the window, his friends voices dulled in the background, he was trying to forget what he did to his aunt.

"Harry? Are you thinking about her?"

Harry shook his head, snapping out of his dazed, and turned to the source of the question, Hermione. She had but her book down on the floor and her whole focus was on him.

"Of course not, all she did was insult my parents! I feel no remorse for what I did even though I was an accident." Harry said angrily, turning back towards the window.

It became quiet with within the cabin after that, Hermione not knowing what to say and Ron…well he was just being Ron. Suddenly there was a knock at the cabin door. Ron got up and opened the door, a puzzled look on his face. Outside the door stood figure in a black robe, the persons face shrouded because of the hood.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but may sit here? The other cars are full" the figure asked, it had a deep voice so it was clearly a man under the robe.

"Yes you may." replied Hermione, turning away from Harry and smiling at the man.

The man sat down next to Hermione and laid his hooded head against the wall and appeared to go to sleep. The only thing visible on him other then the robe was a pair of brown boots and some bandages on his left hand.

"Guess he's not in the talking mood…" said Harry, staring at the man.

"He's probably starving like me!" Ron joked, chucking a bit.

"Well if that fact that is true then my theory on men is true. Nothing but mindless animals…" Hermione said sarcastically, a smile still on her face.

The three friends laughed, and then they turned their attention to their schedules. Looking over the schedule, Hermione noticed the defense against the dark arts class. After what happened the previous year, Lockhart would not be making another appearance as their teacher as far as she knew.

"Who do you think Dumbledore got for DADA this year, considering they all keep dropping like flies…" said Hermione, looking up from the schedule at her two friends.

"I don't know, I just wished it was someone who actual knew something about the dark arts…" Harry responded, shaking his head.

The train then came to a sudden stop, slamming Harry and Ron against the wall and sending Hermione to the floor. The lights went off and a slow frost started to develop on the windows. The trio stared at the door as a creature came into view from outside the cabin. It then opened the cabin door slowly, freezing air filling the room. The creature looked at Ron, then Hermione and then last at Harry. It stared at Harry for the longest time, slowly approaching him. Harry was frozen with fear and was suddenly filled with dread, his mind flying through memories of Voldemort, the Chamber of Secrets, the fight with the Basilisk, and then his mind went blank, a screaming of a woman the only thing he could hear. Suddenly, the hooded man shot up from his seat and raised his arm, staring down the creature.

"Din." he whispered and instantly fire erupted out of his hand, engulfing the beast.

The creature screamed and flew backwards, hitting the outside of the cabin and retreated. The man watched it go and sat back down as the lights flickered back on. He glanced over to the girl and boy standing by their friend, who wasn't moving. The man than stood up, un-hooded himself reveling blond hair wrapped in a ponytail, and pointed ears with one piercing. The man walked over to them, moving Ron and Hermione out of the way to get to Harry.

"Give him some space." the man said, glancing back at both of them. He then turned back to Harry and tapped his cheek lightly until he came to.

Harry sat up slowly and rubbed the back of his head, "Ugh… what happened?" He asked, glancing up at the man and his two friends.

"You lost consciousness." the man said as he sat down, crossing his arms.

"Where's the creature?" asked Harry, quickly looking around the cabin.

"He drove it away." Hermione said, glancing over at the mysterious man. She glanced him over, noting that he looked to be older than any of them, maybe 30 or so. He stood about a foot taller than Harry and the one feature she really took up was his blue piercing eyes, looking at them sent a shiver down her spine.

"Who are you anyway?" asked Ron, turning towards the man.

"My name is Link and I'm the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher." He said, turning his head to look out the window.

The three students looked at each and then back at Link with confused expressions on their faces.

Noticing this in the reflection, Link looked back at all of them with his own confused expression, "What?" he asked.

"Well… elves aren't really known for fighting." said Hermione

"I'm sure to get this," Link said to himself, "I'm not an elf I'm Hylian" he said to them, giving them a look that said "Try calling me an elf again and I'll kill you".

"What's the difference?" Harry asked, curious as to what this new teacher meant by "Hylian", a term he never heard before.

"Hylians have better hearing, sight, and Hylian bodies are stronger than average humans." Link explained, smirking slightly.

"So if you don't mind asking um...how did you just shoot fire from your head" Hermione ask curiously staring at Link's hand

Link chuckled lightly "Isn't it obvious? It was magic"

Hermione looked visibly annoyed at the answer "I know it was magic! But you didn't use a wand that's what I want to know"

"Come now I can't give away all of tricks" He then stood up and walked over to the door, opening it to leave. He stopped and glanced back at the three students.

"You three have a nice time now, I'm going to make sure no one else on the train was attacked," He moved to leave, but then stopped again and turned back to the kids, "before I go you never told me your names." He said.

"I'm Hermione Granger."

"I'm Ronald Weasly."

"And I'm Harry Potter."

"Well it was nice meeting you." Link said and walked out of the cabin, disappearing down the hall.

As soon as he left, the kids all gathered together and started to discuss their new teacher with curiosity and suspicion.

"Hermione how do you think he did that fire trick?" asked Ron.

"Not sure I thought magic had to be cast from a wand no matter what!" Hermione exclaimed, impressed and curious as to how a thing like that could happen.

"No wand…? But isn't that impossible?" Harry asked, looking at her.

"Maybe if he's honed his magic abilities to a certain point but I'm not sure." Hermione noted.

As the three pondered the events on the train they had lost track of time and didn't realize they had arrived at Hogwarts Station. The three friends gathered their things and ran off the train. They, along with all the other students but the first years, went into the carriages up to the school. The trip was not long but they looked in awe as Hogwarts castle came into view, the glinting torches and the reflection on the lake made the scene harmonious and peaceful. As they got off the carriage, Harry and his friends started walking towards the castle when he was disrupted by a voice from behind him.

"Hey Potter! Heard you were attacked by the big bad Dementor on the train! Did you piss yourself, well did you?"

Harry turned around to be face to face with Draco Malfoy, a sly smirk on his face, and his lackeys who stood behind him, laughing at the insult.

"Shut it Malfoy." Harry snapped back, glaring over at the blonde haired boy. Malfoy always found some way to pick on Harry and his friends, and he was starting to get sick of it.

Suddenly, someone came up from behind Malfoy and spun him around. The man then grabbed Malfoy's collar and raised him up to eye level, glaring intently on the now shivering boy.

"Now now let's not use such foul language you never know who might hear you and think hm maybe I should take the liberty of shutting that noisy child up," the man, who Harry recognized as Link, growled and dropped the boy back to the ground, "Go run off now you little child"

Malfoy, freaking out, and his friends then scurried/ran immediately to the castle; the faint sentence of "My father will hear about this!" could be heard as they disappeared. Link then began to walk to the castle, passing through the student's whispers and pointing.

"I think I like him already!" Ron said a grin forming as he watched Link go into the castle. Then there was a low grumble and he looked down at his stomach then back to his friends, "Now come on I'm starving!" he said, running to the castle.

Hermione turned to Harry with an annoyed look and sighed, frustrated, "You see! All he thinks about is food!" she exclaimed.

Harry shook he head as he and Hermione walked up to the castle, "I'll never understand the both of you." He said, chuckling.

Finally catching up the starving Ron, the three friends walked towards the Great Hall, chatting and joking, when they were interrupted yet again from behind. They turned around and saw Professor McGonagall in front of one of the rooms.

"Potter! Over here please, I need to speak to you." yelled McGonagall, waving for him to hurry over.

He turned to Ron and Hermione, telling them to go on ahead of him. They agreed and continued to the Great Hall, while Harry walked over to McGonagall. She then opened the door to the room she was in front of and walked it. As Harry walked in he noted that not only was Dumbledore in there, but Link as well. They looked like they were discussing something, from what Harry could tell it was about what happened on the train.

"Interesting, so you can summon fire from your hand without a wand?" Dumbledore questioned a curious twinkle in his eye as he questioned his new professor.

"Yes but it requires a lot of energy and concentration,' Link responded, shrugging a bit, "it usual leaves me pretty tired after using it."

Dumbledore nodded and then turned to Harry, smiling warmly as he and McGonagall walked over to the pair.

"Harry! So good to see you again my boy!" He said, nodding at him.

"You too sir." Harry replied, smiling. Dumbledore was always someone Harry could trust, so he felt very comfortable around him.

"So Mr. Potter," McGonagall said, bringing Harry's attention to her, "you were attacked by a dementor on the train correct?" He nodded a yes in response, "Did you provoke it in anyway?" She questioned.

"It did attack but I didn't provoke it," he explained, "It just attacked me out of nowhere…"

"Ok that's all we needed. Thank you Potter, you may join your friends in the hall." McGonagall said. Harry nodded and turned to leave, "oh and Potter….it's good to see you back." She finished, giving him a warm smile. He smiled slightly and nodded, jogging out of the room.

He closed the door and walked over Great Hall, where he saw Ron and Hermione with all the other Gryffindor's at the table. Harry sat next to them, they had saved him a seat, and he thanked them for that.

"What did I miss?" he asked, glancing around the hall.

"Just the sorting." Hermione said,

"But not the food!" Ron exclaimed, once again grinning.

Hermione rolled her eyes and smiled, "How did I know you where going to say that." She joked.

The three friends laughed and only a few minutes later the food was presented. As soon as that happened, Ron grabbed at anything he could get his hands on and stuffed his face as his friends watched on in disgust.

"How is it possible for you to eat so much at once and not choke?" Hermione exclaimed exasperated, shaking her head.

"An old Weasly secret that you or your brain just couldn't understand" Ron said, though it was hard to understand with his mouth full of food.

"Ron," Harry said, putting a hand on his friends shoulder, "you're my friend but it is kind of disgusting, so please show us some mercy." The last part said in a joking matter, causing both of them to laugh a bit.

Just as Ron was about to respond Dumbledore stood up and began to speak.

"Attention!" He yelled, halting all movement with the Great Hall, "I am happy to see new and old faces in students and in staff. I would like you all to greet the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Link."

The students clapped politely, glancing over at the new professor with the strange pointed ears.

"And taking over for the Study of Magical Creatures will be Rubeus Hagrid."

This time the clapping was more intense, for not only was Hagrid known by all the students, but mostly everyone because everyone loved the giant keeper.

"One last announcement, Dementors will be on the hunt for Sirius Black and will be searching outside the school. I advise everyone to stay away from them and not to get in their way. Follow those two simple rules and they will no harm you." Dumbledore explained in a calm tone, finishing his speech and sitting down with all the other professors.

The students then went back to eating and talking amongst themselves.

"Hagrid is going to be the best teacher, that class should be an easy A" Ron said, grabbing some more food to put on his plate as Hermione watched with a disgusted face.

Harry agreed but out of the corner of his eye he saw Dumbledore, Snape and Link leaving out a side door of the Great Hall. Curious as to why those three would leave, he turned back to his friends.

"Come on lets go see what their talking about." Harry said, getting up from the table.

Ron was hesitant to leave all the food behind but Harry at that point just dragged him out, Hermione following. The three sneaked down the hall, keeping out of sight as they watched the three professors. Harry saw Dumbledore enter Snape's office with Link right behind him, a deep frown on his face. Bringing out his invisibility cloak, he tossed it over the three of them and opened the door as quietly as he could, then shutting it. The walked slowly to the side of the office which was dark and watched the three professors stop in the middle of the office.

"So is our magic similar to your lands magic?" Snape asked, looking over Link with a skeptic eye.

"Yes, except my lands magic can draw its power from any source, like a crystal or potion." Link explained.

"Well I'm not familiar with this type of magical curse, but I do believe I can help nullify the effects of the curse." Snape said, going over to his desk to grab something from it. He pulled out what looked like to by a charm necklace and walked back over to the two professors.

"This charm should hold the curse at bay, but it is possible for the power to slip out" Snape explained, handing the charm to Link, "but that's not very common."

"How did you stumble upon this or I should ask who cursed you with this?" Dumbledore asked, looking at the charm, then to Link.

He put the charm in over his neck, letting it lay under his chain mail, and looked over at Dumbledore. "Two witches named Twinrova; with their dying breath they cast this curse on me. It's basically a crystal of evil power impeded in my chest" he explained, tapping his chest where the crystal would be.

"The only thing that broke the curse was the Master Sword, but it has been sealed by the orders of the Elders in Hyrule." He continued, his eyes now directed to the other side of the room, memories clouding his mind.

"Very interesting…"Dumbledore mused, then placed his hand on the younger man's shoulder, turning Link's attention to him, " Well do not fear professor we have experience with curses, hopefully Snape will find a solution."

"Hopefully is a vague word for something so complicated…" Snape mumbled under his breath.

"This conversation does not leave this room, you both can return to your quarters now." Dumbledore said, turning and heading over to the door.

Link followed, turning back to Snape to thank him and walked over to the door. He paused for a minute and glanced over to the side of the room, but then opened the door and left. Snape stood alone for a minute before turning the heading to the other side of the room and shut the door to his quarters to think.

The trio quickly, but quietly, left the room and scurried down the hall until they were far enough away and took of the cloak, Harry hiding it within his robes.

"Wow the professor seems to have a very powerful curse on him! Hell, even Snape can't seem heal it." Ron said in an almost scared tone, wondering how this new professor could have had that done to him.

"It's very unusual, but I think its best if we don't get involved." Hermione said, "I would like to have at least one normal school year." She finished, sighing slightly but smiling a bit.

The three friends walked back to the Gryffindor common room and for some reason Ron was the only one who knew the password. Once they entered, the three friends said their goodnights to one another. Hermione went to the girl's dorm, Ron and Harry to the boy's, where they overheard student's talking about the new teacher.

"He seems very odd; he didn't talk to any of the other teachers during dinner. And did you see, he, Dumbledore and Snape left out the side exit. I wonder what they were up to!" said one student.

"I heard he grabbed Malfoy by his shirt collar and scared the shit out of him" said another student, snickering after the statement.

Harry and Ron glanced at one another and ignored the other students. They both went over to their beds to sleep, the days events still on their minds.
