"This can't be right. The blood wards-"

"Never existed in that house Harry," Minerva interrupted him, "Petunia and Lily weren't related."

"Why would he keep this from me?" Harry asked.

"He kept a lot of things from all of us Harry," Severus said.

"So my mom was adopted," Harry said, sifting through the files, "Does it say who her real parents were?"

"Her birth certificate is in the back," Minerva said.

Name:

Yuri Kazama

Mother: Kumori Sekiun

Father: Tenrai Kazama

Born:

Date: December 14, 1955

Time: 2:33 a.m.

"Yuri Kazama?"

"Yuri is Japanese for Lily," Severus said.

"She had a twin brother named Keizu," Minerva said, "And according to those files, Keizu had a son, just one year before you were born."

"There's gotta be a 'but' in here somewhere. There's always a 'but'," Harry said.

"The Kazamas are from the side dimension," Severus said, "I believe it was called the Hidden Countries." Gaara's head snapped up.

Kakashi grumbled under his breath. That was the fifth person that laughed at him today when he asked if they could point him in the direction of Hogwarts. He headed toward a pub, called The Three Broomsticks; maybe someone there could help him.

"Ms. Yates, I presume," Rhonda heard a voice from behind her. She turned to see the last person she ever expected.

"Mr. Potter," she said, neither of the two missing the way the young silver-haired man in the corner's head perked up, "Come, sit. Order a drink."

"Firewhiskey please," Harry ordered, before turning to Rhonda, "I'm going to need that by the time were done."

"I didn't peg you as the type to come searching for a reporter, especially after what Skeeter wrote."

"I don't like Skeeter. I reserve judgment on you, as I have yet to get to know you. And you haven't written anything psychotic about me…yet."

"Oh, don't worry I don't plan to do so."

"Good, cause I need a reporter on my side," Harry said, now nursing his firewhiskey, "Just outta curiosity…Is William Sirius'?"

"And you're the first person to figure that out. I was wondering when someone would."

"Well, in that case, he is my godbrother, so if you need anything just ask. Next order of business, I'm leaving. Hermione is a danger to my son. And I believe Sirius and Remus had something to do with her escape."

"Glad to know I'm not the only one. Though I didn't suspect Lupin."

"It's always the quiet ones," Harry joked, "I need a reporter, such as yourself, to write up false leads. I don't want people to know where I'm going, so you think you can write up fake sightings for me while I'm gone?"

"I'm sure I can do that. Can I have a list of you're properties, so I can accurately describe the places where you'll be sighted? I'll need you to tell me which one you're staying at, so I can avoid that one."

"Oh, don't worry about that," Harry said, handing her the files of all the places he owned, "I'm not going to anyplace owned by the Potters."

"Mmm…Something else our esteemed ex-headmaster kept from you?"

"Yep. Now if you'll excuse me. I have to go see our silver-haired eavesdropper." Kakashi had the decency to look slightly ashamed when Harry sat down at his table.

"Heh, heh…Whoops?" he said, smiling (meaning his only visible eye went in an upside down 'U') . Harry only laughed.
