A/N Well, here I am again, decked out in my LoZ gear and ready to write. I got a review and then felt pretty good. I kinda got into an Odd Todd do nothing phase. A big hug and smile to Atchika for reviewing. Thanks!

Fields. Long open fields were stretched before me. So...so peaceful. I smiled and listened, there was a beautiful song. It drifted far across the endless fields and out into my memories. Where was it from? I knew this song, walking forward I stopped in front of a courtyard. I could see the back of a young maidens head. Her hair flowed down her slim shoulders as she continued to play her haunting melody. A blue ocarina was poking out from the side; I'd never heard anyone play one so well. Now I knew sneaking up on people wasn't nice, but I couldn't help it. I crept up behind her.

"Zelmus!" I called softly. She pretended not to hear me so I crept closer. "Zelmus." Reaching her perch I grabbed her shoulder, and then slowly turned her around. "Zelmus you look absolutely-ECK!"

Trelawney turned her head at me. "What?"

"AH!!" I flipped right off my bed and slammed into what should have been the cold hard floor. Only, it wasn't, it was the freezing cold soft water that could eat me. Screaming louder I bounced off my back and landed back on the lily pad, gasping for air. "Stupid, bloody dreams!"

I shook my head in an attempt to get water out of my ears. This adventure was really wearing thin. I looked up at the still sleeping tree and blinked. Did he always have those Chu-Chus on him, or were they attackers? One noticed me and jumped down. With another shriek I grabbed the nearest weapon, my hook. Swinging it about my head I hit not only the solitary attacker but also the several others that had collected on his face. As it swung back around I managed to hit myself on the forehead. After the stars cleared I managed to look up, the other chus eyes grew wide and they quickly, or as quickly as globs of jelly can, fled.

With a smile I put the hook away only to find that I was being watched.

"Hoset lochtes. Ouldc eta eb het Erho els Imte?" Not another one of these! I looked around as if Lily would pop out of a nearby bush and translate. No such luck. "Od uoy ont dnursetand het alngeau els dlo?" I briefly thought of Dumbledore howling in pain as the T bug tried to eat his tail. Why was I putting up with this? Hagrid wasn't in danger anymore; I should go back to Paddy and say too bad, so sad. But he then changed his tune.

"Sorry 'bout that. I sawer yer clothes an' allowed m'self to speak a language o' old. I'm the Gaurdian o' this Forest Haven, the Great Hagrid Tree." He smiled as much as a tree could smile at me. "Thanks fer savin' me by the way. But now, you must tell me. Did Paddy send you?" Hoping to see another person who hated him fueled my answer.

"Yes, that lousy loafer did!" I said while pointing back towards the door. Hagrid only gave me an odd look.

"So, it's true…you've come fer the goddess' pearl right?" I slowly nodded my head, this wasn't anything like I thought he'd say. "I see. Well, all o' those monsters make sense now. Sirius 'as returned. In that case, we should 'urry up then, eh? Koroks! Little children o' the woods, come forth! He means us no 'arm!" My eyes grew wide as maybe eleven of the odd creatures poked their heads out from behind Hagrid's giant eyebrows. They looked like walking trees with giant leaves for faces. Suddenly they jumped in the air and flew towards me using a propeller like device. They stood silently around me and stared.

"Wha's yer name again?" Hagrid asked with his face scrunched in confusion.

"Snape. Severus Snape." I responded to his question.

"Snape?"

"Yes."

"Snape?" As he asked again I found a headache coming on. He was rather like Paddy in my opinion, either dumb or a bad sense of humor.

"Um…yes?" I hoped this wouldn't go on all day.

"Well Snape, these are the Koroks! They're spirits o' this here forest. Don't look so scared Snape! They're harmless!" I glanced around at them and saw their sharpened limbs and evil smiles. One of them made stabbing motions with his arms and I gulped. Harmless my foot.

"Once they were 'umans, but when the flood came, they 'ad to change. Adapt tha' is to live here. They hate 'umans now, they 'ave attacked a few, I admit it. But they're so cute! I jus' forgive' em in the end!" He gave what sounded like a soft mothers coo as one lunged at me. Side stepping it caused it to fall off the now elevated pad. Idiot.

"As it jus' so 'appens, yer in time fer an annual ceremony. When it ends I'll give ya' the pearl." He made a 'That's just too darn cute' face as a second Korok took an attempt on my life.

Ducking just in time I asked, "How long will this take?" Hagrid paused his light chuckle at the beasts failed murders.

"No' long at t'all! We should actually begin so eh? Got to get going before dark!" He was about to say something to the murderous little creatures when a twelfth one arrived.

"NO," It screamed in a squeaky voice, "O' Great Hagrid Tree, unlucky number 13 is lost!"

Hagrid pulled a face of concern. "Well, you two always do get lost on the way. And Neville's not that unlucky." I looked at unofficial number 12 and back at Hagrid, who the heck was Neville?

"You don't understand! 13 fell into the-the Forbidden Woods!" Looking at Hagrid made me try to cover my ears. Too late.

"What?? The Forbidden Woods!?" My hearing was then replaced by a ringing sound. Oh, Nayru. Now I was deaf, after the long boring speeches about Koroks! I watched as the Korok looked confused and said something. Then Hagrid looked depressed, he then looked me up and down and asked something. I nodded my head, figuring he asked if I was hurt. He nodded his massive head and then spoke again. I nodded my head solemnly, whatever he was saying was heartfelt.

Poor 13, Hagrid must have really cared for that one. That's when 12 said something else and Hagrid looked me up and down again. With a nod he spoke. Then his face screwed up and something appeared on one of his tallest branches.

With a smile he spoke louder and with an air of pride. "That's yer 'Agrid leaf. When you get it, and use it properly you can fly temporarily. Now go save Neville."

What? When did I agree to that?

I was going to object when one of the random Koroks pushed me into the water. With a yelp I ran onto a strip of land nearby and gasped. That water was dangerous! Why was everything here dangerous!? I glared at the little hellions and then ran; they were jumping down to me. I ran to a nearby bulb and jumped into it, maybe I'd die a less gruesome death. No such luck. The bulb spat me into the air, then into another bulb to another. The third one spat me onto some solid-ish ground and I gulped. That had been crazy.

Looking up only let me find that 12 was standing not but three feet away. I grabbed my hook and threw it at him. I missed but it hooked on a branch and I swung into another bulb. After completing that set of bulbs I landed on a branch. Great, now I was cornered.

"Hoy! Grab the Hagrid Leaf!" Oh Goddesses I rarely felt this relived to hear Paddy's voice! I pulled out the glowing stone and grabbed the leaf. "Good, now that you actually have realized that it was there, try jumping to that giant grass arrow." Grass arrow? Paddy was going insane. I looked around and saw it. I suppose one of these days I'll admit he's right, but not today. "Now be careful! There's a little hell demon over there." Thanks. I shoved the stone back into my pocket and jumped.

Then I fell and landed in the water. Stupid leaf, it was defective! I quickly went back to the branch and glared across the way at the Korok. How do you make something broken work? You fix it, but I'm too lazy for that.

"Paddy?" Man I'm getting desperate.

"Whaty?" I cringed. What sort of word is whaty?

I took a calming breath. "How do you get this thing to work?" I waited hoping that he wouldn't say something sarcastic.

"Grab the stem in one hand." All right. "And the tip of the leaf in the other." Kay. "And then jump off, but watch your magic meter." I didn't know what a magic meter was but that sounded simple. Following his instructions I jumped from the branch and soared over to the arrow.

The Korok was ready to attack, so I only dropped long enough to run through the opening. Once outside I ran farther into the light. Light seemed to hurt most spawns of evil, so why not? I stopped when the land came to a point and glanced behind, ready for a fight. The stupid bugger didn't even follow me. I swung my sword angrily at the surrounding grass. Feeling only slightly better I picked up several potions, of cheap quality I might add, and some rubies. Glancing out I found a giant gust of air, some really big island, and a couple of flying pea hats.

With one big gulp of air I ran out and opened my leaf. The air blew straight into the entrance and I knew that none of the little demons would follow me, cursed island and all that was working in my favor for once. I smiled and entered the ancient island, I would hide out and when I couldn't find Neville I'd give heartfelt apologies and grab the pearl.
