Chapter 2

As Hagrid opened the door to The Leaky Cauldron he told them to follow him, they walked behind him. Link’s mind was running fast taking in the new look in this Victorian Era style of dress and building interiors, pub and the people there.

Some woman dressed in robes while others were in casual attire, all the men on the other hand either wore some kind of suit and / or robe. Many threw him strange glances towards his ears, some even going so far as to scoff, the Hylian kept a passive face but he was slightly ticked off by their immediate judgement. Some whispered while pointing at Harry. Link saw this and grew confused, until he remembered what Hagrid told them about how Harry ended up accidentally killing some super fucked up dark wizard.

The half-giant was walking passed the bar when the bartender, Tom, called out to him.

“Having the usual Hagrid?” Called the man in a slightly gruff voice.

“‘Fraid not Tom, on official Hogwarts business. Harry and Link need their school supplies, long day ahead of us,” Hagrid answered with a sigh at the end. The bartender looked to the black haired eleven year old standing beside Link.

“Well I’ll be blessed, it’s Harry Potter!” Tom finished with a raised voice. Almost as if on cue all the bars inhabitants gathered around, trying to greet ‘Harry Potter!’.

Link sighed and was slightly grateful that he wasn’t being swarmed by fans and such. That was until a ginger busty young woman, who looked to be in her mid - late twenties hugged Link into her bust.

“Oh aren’t you just the cutest little thing ever!” She practically squealed while holding an iron grip on the Hero of Time. The blonde started to sweat a little when he saw that he had gathered a few more females’ attention. For the next five - ten minutes our Hylian Champion had his cheeks squeezed, been hugged more times than he can remember and had been given a sly kiss on the cheek from the twenty year old witch, who had a familiar look about her. And wasn't that low grade sexual assault or pedophilia? Surely people cant just kiss random eleven year olds. With that thought most, if not all, the witches leaved him be.

Link felt dead, obviously, but he regained his vigor the second he saw who was talking to Harry and Hagrid. He looked to be coming into his early fourties, had a turban on his head and he was in what looked like some kind of gypsie robes. He was very nervous in demeanor, but there was a freaky dark vibe coming off of his turban. Which seemed to only be noticed by Link. He walked up to them, it was easy as everyone had finally gone and sat back down, and stood beside Harry. Not even listening to their conversation he just kept on starring into the man’s eyes with a blank look on his face. The fidgety Hogwarts professor started to feel uncomfortable under the boy’s stare and bid Harry and Hagrid fairwell.

The champion turned to his to companions and gestured for Hagrid to lead the way; he brought them to a back room where there was a stone wall right infront of them.

Link’s inner puzzle master wanted him to see if there was some kind of secret switch in the room, but that was stopped when Hagrid pulled up his umbrella and tapped the wall in multiple places.

Link memorized the pattern, as you do. The red bricks folded back to reveal an impressive sight. It opened to show an alley full with different shops and attractions. From ice cream shops to broom stores and from a bank to a robes store, and all that was inbetween, over and under.

Link’s eyes sparkled at all the possible purchases and started to bounce up and down in excitement, until he stopped and realized he had none of this world's currency. Sure he had an impossible amount of Rupees but they wouldn’t accept them, would they? He shook his head and grabbed Hagrid by his cloak, he then proceeded to rub his right hand’s fingers together. Asking if he had any ‘moola’. Hagrid laughed.

“Oh hoho! Don’ worry Link, Hogwarts has a fund for people with no parents. We jus’ need to go into Gringotts,” the half-giant tried to put it as nicely as possible, though it was a very poor attempt. Link patted Hagrid’s back, more like just above his underside, and followed him and Harry, who passed him the school supplies list which he soon memorized.

Link looked up in awe at the sight before him, it was extremely tall and was made of marble! They even had pillars of gold! He stumbled at the thought of the price of such a magnificent building, he looked closer and saw the words ‘Gringotts’ written in gold above the entrance and there were glass windows. His eyes widened and turned back to face the other shops in the alley, if his eyes could widen any more they did. All of the shops had glass pane windows! Only the Royal family or the odd villager could afford those back home. He tripped on a step whilst walking backwards and fell on his behind, Hagrid saw this and lifted him up onto his feet.

“Y’all righ’ Link?” He asked in a slightly worried tone. Link blinked and nodded, he was pretty sure they wouldn’t be able to sympathize with why he was in awe. So he gently pushed off Hagrid and started walking up the steps to the Wizarding bank.

They passed surprisingly short guards, not that Link would dare underestimate them, and the Hero held a hand over his heart in respect. The guards’ posture slaked slightly in surprise, before they stood up and replicated his show of respect. Link smiled and nodded to them before entering the bank for wizards, before him was a sight of booths lining the walkway to the main glassed-off booth. Link overheard some wizard talking and they mentioned why the workers and guards were all so short, they were goblins. Short and pointy eared goblins. Pretty cool, in Link's opinion.

Hagrid brought Harry to one of the standard booths and left Link to wander the bank, which he took full advantage of. He saw that the ‘wizard coins’ were made of gold, Galleons, silver, Sickles, and copper, Knuts. The goblins tended to speak in their own language when not talking to customers and they seemed to approve of his ears, which was a first.

On that topic, almost all of the wizards looked at him in disgust while the witches, regardless of their age, found him absolutely adorable. Which was slightly unnerving, like imagine having all the girls in a room staring and cooing at you. Sure it was awesome for a while, but there can be too much of anything.

Link shook his head and looked towards the main booth, the line was rather short so he decided to join it. He waited for a relatively short amount of time till the person before him was called forward.

The man was easily into his forties and of average height with a very slim build, he had sliked back, platinum blonde hair and a constant sneer on his face. He wore all black robes with silver accents, he also carried a cane. The man walked up to the counter and asked to make a transaction finishing with a ‘you filthy goblin’ under his breath, though Link heard it due to his enhanced hearing. The young Hylian was ticked off by the blatant racism and waited till the man finished making his transaction, whilst walking by him the Hero tripped up the rude prick. The man regained his footing and grabbed Link by his left shoulder.

“What do you think you’re doing!?” He almost shouted with venom lacing his voice, Link looked around. The man followed his line of sight around the hall and saw all the people, goblins included, looking at him in disapproval, he looked back at the ‘eleven year old’ in front of him. He was smirking right at the him, the man ran off in the fear of his reputation being ruined. Link brushed off his shoulder and walked up to the goblin behind the counter.

“Quite the display you made there young one, Lucious Malfoy has been more of a pest as of recent. Thank you,” the goblin nodded his head in respect but Link waved him off.

“Well, What can Gringotts do for you today sir? Transaction? Currency exchang-,” the goblin clerk was cut of by Link jumping up and nodding his head. The dirty blonde boy put his hand in his pouch and took out 30 green Rupees, the goblin almost watered at the mouth till he gathered himself and went to see how much money Link could get for his Rupees. He came back with a large sack, like a full duffel bag big, and heaved it up onto the counter.

“This is a Gringotts issued bag, it is magically expanded and it is connected to ones vault, on that matter. Would you like to set up a vault?” The clerk asked eagerly, Link tilted his head to the side.

“A-Ah, my apologies. A vaults initial payment cost is around twenty Galleons a year, but if you were to go through our magic and blood test; it would be practically free. We would also provide financial guidance and showcase various stocks that you can invest in to make some profit,” the pale skinned goblin stated with practiced ease.

“I’d like to take the second option, please?” Link replied, in a hushed voice.

“Wise choice, I’ll call one of my associates now to bring you to the test room.” He said as he soon walked away. He came back and patted a new goblin’s shoulder.

“This here is Slithroat, he will be your account manager and will now bring you for your test,”

“Greetings,” Slithroat nodded.

“He is rather quiet brother, do be patient with him. Don’t let this end like the last one.” The clerk said in the goblin tongue.

“Alright, See you soon,” the goblin left his brother’s side and signaled for the blonde to follow him. They walked up a hall lined with guards, all in plated armor, and soon came up to a big set of wooden doors. The doors opened by themselves and let the two inside.

Past the doors the room was empty, apart from a pedestal in the center of the room that had a curved knife and a black stone slate on it. Slithroat walked Link up to it and handed him the knife. “Cut your hand and let a few drops of blood land on the tablet.”

He handed Link the knife and he inspected it. It was a curved blade that had runes inscribed into the metal and had a black leather handle. Link walked up to the pedestal and held his left hand over the tablet, he cut his hand and let the blood flow out.

Slithroat watched as the boy cut his hand, he didn’t even wince. That earned him some respect from the goblin.

Slithroat then placed a sheet of parchment on top of the slate. Link inspected his hand and was surprised to see the cut had disappeared. His account manager noticed his surprise, and picked up the dagger.

"This dagger is runed to seal any wound it cuts, and a small antiseptic rune is there aswell as to prevent infection." Link nodded at his words and turned to look at the parchment. Slithroat followed his line of sight and picked it up.

Link left Gringotts with Harry and Hagrid much wealthier than he had imagined.

"Well Link, guess this is where we part ways for now. Me'n Harry'll see you on the first day of term at Hogwarts, alri'?" Hagrid told him as he gave Link a pat on the shoulder, Harry was gobsmacked that Link's knees didn't buckle.

The Hylian nodded at the two and left them to go to 'Madam Malakin's Robes for All Occasions' to get fitted for his school clothes.

A bell jingled as he pushed the door open to the dressers and an old woman, looking to be in her late fifties, smiled at him from behind the counter.

"Why hello there, aren't you just the cutest?" Link fought back most of his blush. "Oh and your shy too." He dead panned at that. She called him over and stood him up on a stool. "First year at Hogwarts hun?" Link nodded. "You sure are a quiet one."

"Oh, sorry if I'm coming off as rude." he apologised, the old woman just smiled and him and shook her head as she commanded tape after tape to take the weirdest measurements on him. When she finished she grabbed his necessary clothes and all but shoved him into a changing room.

He took off his Champion's Tunic and sighed when he saw that he still had his chiselled physique. He put on a white button up shirt, silky black trousers and black leather shoes.

He walked out of the changing room and was immediately pictured by the old lady.

"Oh! Look at you! You're like a mini man!" she cooed. Link ran back inside the changing room and stuffed the rest of his clothes into his pouch. He then walked up to the counter where the old woman worked and put fifteen Galleons on the counter, and left.

He made a bee line for 'Flourish and Blotts'.

'Let's hope this place isn't full of more mentally deranged women, yes?' Link told himself with a depressed look on his face.
