"We're not going to Suna are we?" Gaara asked quietly.
"No," Kakashi said, "We're going to Konoha. Why?"
"No reason," Gaara said, now clutching Harry. When the three walked into the entrance hall, they found Minerva, Severus, Collin, Dennis, Draco, Ginny, and Rhonda waiting for them.
"Are you going to come visit us?" Minerva asked, as she hugged Harry, then Gaara.
"Probably not," Harry admitted, "But I'll try. I'm still worried about Hermione though."
"Where's the gourd?" Severus asked, refering to the gourd that Gaara used to never be with out. Gaara pulled out the dragon-tanuki pendant that Harry had given him and flipped it over. On the back was a miniature version of the gourd.
"I used magic to create a new one. All the sand still fits in it and now, no one will ever see it," Harry said.
"You better be careful," Ginny said, hugging both Harry and Gaara. She had been disowned when her parents had found out about her dating Draco. That had just caused Draco to propose.
"You too," Harry said, putting his hands on the small bump that was Ginny's belly. She was five months along.
"Have fun. Try not to kill anyone or get killed yourself," Draco said, "You're the godfather, just to let you know. Millicent is the godmother."
"Find yourself a nice boyfriend," Dennis said.
"And I want an invite to the wedding," Collin said.
"And copies of all the pictures of the kiddies," Dennis said.
"And future grandkiddies," Collin said.
"Enough you two," Harry laughed, "You're worse then Fred and George. At least they're twins." Dennis and Collin laughed.
"See ya in Jamaica," Rhonda said, "And possibly Paris, France or Sydney, Australia too." Harry laughed and surprised her by pulling her into a hug.
"Don't forget to ask if you need anything," He said.
"You'll be happy to know you're named in my will then," Rhonda said, "You've got custody of William if something happens to me."
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that," Harry said, turning to everyone, "Fawkes is gonna be the only one who can find me, unless of course, you manage to find another phoenix. Hedwig's coming with me. I guess I'll see you guys in a couple of years. I want constant letters."
"We can do that," Draco said, "Now go."

"So how exactly do we get to the side dimension?" Harry asked. He had minimized everything and put it in his pocket and was currently carrying a sleeping Gaara.
"By this," Kakashi said, gesturing to the arc in front of them. It was huge, with intricate designs on it. It also had many kanji on it, that Harry couldn't understand. Even after years of living with Gaara he could only speak Japanese. He couldn't write it or read it. Which is what translation charms were for. But he wasn't going to try it on the arc. He could feel the magic rolling off the arc in waves, along with another type of energy Harry couldn't identify. (Chakra but he don't know that yet) The arc's energies started to move around in the center and created a grey light. The light spread until it met the edges of the arc.
"Well are you coming," Kakashi said, stepping up to the arc. The two of them walked through the arc. Harry closed his eyes. There was a strange feeling that was similar to that of flooing, but worse. He opened his eyes when the feeling ended.
"Welcome to the Hidden Countries," Kakashi said, as Harry looked around.

There. They're in the Hidden Countries now. I need to know if you want Harry to ever forgive Sirius and Remus (note that this will be a looooooooooooooooooooong way away). Whether or not he does, James is still gonna give them hell.
