The world, at least the magical one, would be talking about where Harry Potter left for years to come. Not that Harry would be around for those years to come to be honest. He had to be honest, he was glad that he was finally free.

Should he have done this years ago? Actually he thought about it but now, with the Triwizard Tournament, he could leave Hogwarts, with no legal jurisdiction to go there. Once this died down, he could go and get his NEWTs under an assumed name. He doubted very much that he would use them, but he wanted to have them to have them, if that made any sense.

"I hope Dumbledore liked your last gift," Kara said as she snickered. The two of them made their way to the edge of the Fortress of Solitude. "He won't ever forget you until his dying day."

"He has a lot more to worry about, and just think, he could have avoided this, if he had just did his job," Harry said. "He's going to lose every single knut to his name…"

"And to think, he didn't even tell the parents what happened….."

"Yeah, Charlotte in particular was really pissed off, and I'm sure Hermione is going to get an earful when she finds out that she kept something like that from her mother," Harry said with a smile on his face. "Hopefully she gets an interesting reality check."

"Let's hope so, for her sake, well…..did you leave her a message….."

"That was a friendship that would have fallen apart in the end," Harry said, shaking his head. "Well, unless Hermione learned to understand that books were not the be all, end all of anything. Perhaps there is still time for her….but yes…..I did leave her a message or maybe a warning. A warning to not to take everything so seriously, she'd live a lot longer and she'd live a lot happier."

"So, do you think that she would listen?"

"It's up to her whether she listens, perhaps she'll make something out of her life, but the people from that world, they don't like people who try and change their world for the sake of changing it," Harry said and Kara sighed.

"She did sound like she had potential, it was just misplaced," Kara said and there was really no more to say than that. "I guess we're not all without our flaws."

"That's for sure," Harry said, setting down on the ice next to her. "Well, I did what I needed to do, there's really no reason to stick around…..are you sure that you want to go through this?"

"I've went back and forth from Earth and New Krypton easily through the portal located in the Fortress," Kara argued. "I mean, seriously, I can always go back….visited people, get some things together. But…..almost everything that I'd ever want is there, if you come with me. Unless you think that you're leaving something behind…"

"I've written my goodbyes, I've hinted that they'll never find me, so there's no use in trying."

"Why do I think that there are some idiots that are going to try?" Kara asked and Harry smiled.

"Because there always is, Kara, because there always is," Harry said, he knew that the only place he could be on Earth, was not on Earth. He was sure that Dumbledore and his cronies were going to waste a lot of time and resources. He hoped that they wouldn't and he hoped that the world would. "But at least that I've got everything off my chest."

"Oh, I know, I've read the letter," Kara said with a bit of a smile on her face, and Harry stepped, looking around the Fortress. He really wished that that he could get a chance to look around sooner than he did. "Didn't even know that you were capable of saying some of those words?"

"To be fair, you were the one who taught me that colorful vocabulary," Harry reminded the blonde and she shook her head, barely able to keep a straight face.

"Oh sure, blame me, blame me, it's always my fault," Kara said, placing her hands up against her hips and sighing.

"Well, you said it, not me," Harry said and Kara just sighed.

"What am I going to do with you?" Kara asked him and Harry smiled at her. "You really aren't going to answer that question, are you?"

Kara turned around and she looked around one last time. It might be the last time that she would be on Earth for a very long time.

"So, it's been an interesting three years, hasn't it?" Kara asked with a wide smile on her face. She was thinking about a lot of the good memories, and there was a few traumatic ones.

"Well, I don't think that it has been all bad, and this isn't the end, just the first part of a bright and bold future," Harry told her and Kara beamed at him.

"I'm really happy about your optimism, Harry," Kara said, with a smile on her face and Harry leaned forward towards her.

"Well, you taught it to me, so…"

Kara stopped him with a nice kiss to the lips. She hoped that her and Harry could help them rebuild, in a world that would appreciate someone like Harry.

"So, any particular reason why you did that?" Harry asked and Kara smiled.

"Do, I need a particular reason?" Kara asked him and Harry nodded for a few seconds.

"No, I doubt you need a reason, just like I don't need a reason to do half of the things that I did," Harry said and he watched Kara walk over towards the portal. She activated the crystal array. "So, does your cousin know about this?"

"I left a message with Lana, to tell him when he gets back from his mission," Kara told him.

"Oh, you're passing the heat off to poor Lana, aren't you?" Harry asked.

"Well, she does owe me a favor," Kara said, without another word and the two went into the portal, taking the journey to New Krypton.

When would they be back? Someday, when a lot of the heat died down.


What in the world happened to Harry Potter? There was so many questions, not enough answers. The few who had a good idea what was happening had their lips sealed completely. And many had theories, from the completely plausible all the way to the outlandishly insane.

That was just the state of a mystery like this. All they knew was that Harry Potter left on the night of the Yule Ball with his girlfriend and never returned. He had been sighted a few times over the next few days, including getting in an altercation with Aurors.

It was only because of the mysterious disappearance of Harry Potter, that people tended to overlooked the mysterious disappearance of Rita Skeeter. The last article she filed was a few days before the Christmas holidays and it was baffling as there was no signs of foul play. It was almost like she was there and then she wasn't there.

"Where do you think Harry went….."

"He'll be back….someday…"

"Wouldn't really blame him for leaving after what happened with the tournament? I mean, look what came out, he got railroaded…"

"So, someone impersonated Moody, and he put Harry's name into the Goblet. How was that legal? He should have….."

"Man, I can't believe it, I lost a bet because of that. Unless he shows back up for the second task."

The Ministry was spinning damage control left and right, to the point where even the most hardened Ministry apologist had to be throwing their hands up into the air and wondering what the hell they were thinking. Dumbledore remained silent.

"Did you hear about Dumbledore, he resigned?"

"He kind of botched this really bad, he tried to send the Aurors after Potter and his girlfriend….."

"He tried to send Aurors after Supergirl? Are you kidding me? Does he want the entire Justice League pissed off at the Wizarding World?"

"Yeah, I think it's a bit too late for that now."

Rumors continued to fly all over the place, although a lot of the purebloods didn't know why this was a bad idea for them to attack this woman, they found out soon enough.

The capper was that there was a lot of ugly old business being brought up, that put Lucius Malfoy back underneath the line of fire. Ginny Weasley willingly testified at the hearing, despite her mother forbidding her. There was a shouting match and while not many had been privvy to the details, those who had been privy to it, they had admitted that it was completely and utterly spectacular.

"Where is he now?"

That was the question and there were signs of Harry Potter everywhere. The Muggleborns joked that he was seen in more places than Elvis. They had no idea what it mean, at least most of the world.

There was one in particular who wondered the kind of lie that she lived. The entire world that she thought that she knew was shattered.

Perhaps if that certainty was shattered, perhaps there would be other things that she thought was true would be shattered.

'Who are you Harry Potter? I thought I knew you, I thought I knew everything about you. But if I didn't know anything about the real you, maybe I didn't know anything about myself. Is all of this a lie, a façade. Have I fooled everyone, including myself.'

That was something that would haunt her until the day that she died. With Harry gone, she had more than enough time to think. Books did not have their appeal like that once did to her. Her brown eyes flashed with anger.

They were lies, lies, lies, and more lies. She slammed her hand down onto Hogwarts: A History, wanting to hurl it out of the window just like that.

She could hear the chattering about where Harry was and she had no idea where she was. The note that he had sent her was left un-opened.

She didn't want to open it, fearful of how much he might have hated her guts, and how she would not blame him. It had been an eye-opener but her mother had given her a lecture. It was only through the skin of her teeth that she was able to remain at Hogwarts.

However, Hogwarts was thrown underneath the bus now as well and she had no idea what was going to happen there.

The smoking gun, the note was in her hand. She realized that by the time she received this, Harry was already gone. This was the thing that she understood more than anyone else. The Magically Binding Contract….well she wasn't sure it existed anymore.

The brunette bookworm researched them, but they were very vague about the consequences or lack thereof. She was not certain if they really existed. She suspected that she would find out what was on the line in due time.

In due time, that was the mantra in her head and perhaps she had been deluding herself into thinking that something different was going to happen.

'The biggest fool is the one who thinks she knows it all, when she knows nothing.'

Once again the note was in her hand. This was the first time that she was afraid of knowledge and what it could bring for her.

She feared that the knowledge would tell her something that she didn't like and that was the scary part.

Once again, seconds away from opening it up, but seconds away from…..well she stuffed the note into her bag, unopened. Perhaps there would come a day where she was facing the biting words of the criticism from the person that she thought was her friend.

Then again, perhaps the thing that she feared the most was that they were right. Or perhaps that she agreed with them.


Harry smiled as he stepped through the glowing gateway, side by side with his girlfriend. He had no idea why he felt the way that he felt but there was a glowing sense of home that reached him. The blonde beside him pretty much sensed the same thing that he did.

"Oh, we're here," Kara said in a gushing voice as they looked up at the amazing tower that was before them. It was made of crystals and the red sun glowed over the top of them. They came to an agreement that a few super powered Kryptonians on one planet would be find but numerous super powered Kryptonians in one spot, was likely asking for much more trouble than it was worth. At least that's what she thought.

Harry whistled as he looked around and Kara's lips curled into a nice grin on her face.

"So is that a good whistle or a bad whistle?" Kara asked him and Harry reached off to the side, grabbing her hand and squeezing it.

"You know what the biggest regret I have for this," Harry said and Kara was surprised that Harry had any regrets. However, the blonde smiled at him where she saw where this was going. "So…..I wish that I did this sooner."

"Well better late than never, I always say," Kara said to him and she walked forward towards the gate. "I guess that we better present ourselves…it's not a perfect replication of home but it's about as good as it's going to get."

"It's absolutely amazing, and I'm not trying to make you feel better….."

"Well it wouldn't be my ego that you're pumping up, because I'm not the one that built it," Kara said with a smile. "The crystal field is working, we had some real problems getting that up. The planet should be ready for a harvest soon enough….they want me to help with that."

After all, one didn't live at the Kents without learning a thing or two about farming. So she would be the ideal candidate and Kal was needed more on Earth anyway. Plus he didn't have the sentimental connection to Krypton that she did.

"So, a lot of survivors of Kandor were female," Harry said as he looked up and down the village square.

"Yeah about seventy to seventy five percent, it was a very female centric population to be fair, and a lot of the men who lived there were on the Council outside of the city when it happened," Kara said. "They just missed getting picked up."

"Politicians, too bad….."

"Well, maybe not because they went down with Krypton," Kara said and she stopped to see the woman standing at the top of the stairs, with a bright smile on her face.

"Kara, I'm glad that you could make it here," the woman said, as she stepped into the light. She looked like an older version of Kara, with her hair tied back with a smile on her face. She wore elegant blue and white robes. "I know that you found a new home on Earth but….."

"Well I don't see why I couldn't have two homes," Kara said with a bright grin as she walked up and nudged Harry into the light. "This is Harry, my boyfriend, my life mate, I've told you about him, haven't I, mother?"

"Quite glowingly," Alura said as she took a step forward and smiled at her daughter's good taste. "Hello, Harry, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine," Harry said with a smile. "Your daughter has told me that you were one of the most foremost scientific minds in all of Krypton."

Kara looked flushed at her mother was looking at her. Her mother, to her credit, looked extremely modest. "Well I don't know about that, but I've heard much praise….."

"Sometimes praise is warranted," Harry said and walked forward. "I'm sure that you've worked on a lot of the achievements that kept the city running while in the bottle."

"Yeah, it seemed like an eternity until my nephew and daughter freed us," Alura said, crossing her arms in memory. The drones that they sent into the city to keep them in line was scary but that was all over. "So, why don't you two come up to the palace?"

Harry smiled, he looked around and felt a sense of belonging that he never really felt. The beautiful girl on his arm was proof positive of this. He was feeling really good about his lot in life.

"It would be an honor," Harry said and Kara nodded in affirmation.

"I have to warn you, it's not really complete, but I'm sure that in the next few months, it will come together," Alura said and Kara could tell her mother was rather frazzled.

"Mother have you….."

"Just another part of the rebuilding, we all have our part to play….."

"Kara, is that a statue of me in the middle of town square?" Harry asked and Kara looked rather sheepish.

"Not my idea, really, it wasn't my idea," Kara said defensively and Alura looked at Harry, a bit nervous now.

"You aren't displeased by it….."

"The nose is a little bit off center," Kara said, cutting Harry off and Harry smiled.

"I'm sure that it's the best that you can do given the circumstances but…"

"You were the one who gave Kara strength to get through that dreadful ordeal when the machine captured her," Alura said, and she looked at him. "She really did build you up to us as well…."

"It's true, you know," Kara said and Harry held her in to him.

"Well, at least they worship me for the right reasons, and not all the wrong reasons like a certain group of people did," Harry said, as he felt his heart give a lift.

"So shall we?"

Harry smiled, the future was bright, he could not wait for what it would bring. There will be some amazing adventures to come.

At least that was his hope.

End.
