Kara smiled as she and Harry stepped onto the Dance Floor. She was pretty sure that some kind of funeral march music should have been played. There were numerous people staring at them, and it was for all of the wrong reasons, not for many of the right reasons.

"So, we're going to give them something to really talk about," Kara said to Harry, as he placed his hands on his girlfriend's waist and held her in close towards him.

"I'm pretty sure that your entrance gave them more than enough to talk about."

Kara laughed and the two of them waited for the music to start up. The other champions and their dates started up the dance.

"She doesn't look happy with me," Kara said and Harry looked at her seriously in the eye.

"That's her problem, not yours."

Kara nodded in agreement, as they both could see Dumbledore watching them from the shadows. He was trying to be discreet about scoping Kara out but it was obvious that he was thrown off of his game.

"You threw him off a lot," Harry said, pulling her closer into him. "I don't think that I was supposed to have any friends outside of the Dumbledore fan club. That really threw him off."

"So, that's the great Albus Dumbledore," Kara whispered, shaking her head sadly. "Do you even have the foggiest idea what in the name of Rao he's wearing?"

"I don't know, it's almost like he dresses in the dark sometimes," Harry said as the music started to kick up. "The things that pass for music in the Wizarding World."

"I'm suddenly appreciating some of the pop music that's somehow a thing," Kara said, hoping that her ears did not bleed. Having super hearing did have its drawbacks and one of them was hearing some really god awful music.

"I think very few have a good enough taste in music," Harry said, spinning Kara around on the dance floor, as the two locked arms with each other. The two of them generated a wind as they kept rattling back and forth, which caused the lights in the Great Hall to flicker. "Pop music, indicates that it's popular music and….."

"You'd have to be deaf to think that music is….." Kara said as Harry dipped her back for a second. "Not too bad."

"I aim to please," Harry told the blonde and there were a lot of girls whispering.

"Such sad jealous hags," Kara said, hearing every word they said. She heard far worse in her time than what they were saying, so it was water off of her back.

"Well they have a reason to be jealous, your dress looks beautiful and not just because you're in it," Harry said and he winked as they kicked up a huge wind which caused some of the occupants on the dance floor to scatter. "But that helps."

Kara laughed, his charm always made her laugh. Even though she was down, that was what she liked about her boyfriend. "Thanks, Lana helped me with it."

"Well she did an amazing job," Harry said and Kara smiled as the music slowed down. The two of them practically floated over the ground.

"She'll take that as a great compliment."

The two of them swayed with each other. It wasn't every day that they saw two people floating off of the ground on their own accord, even in the magical world. Self –levitation was hard to do. The music ended but the two of them lingered in the air.

"So have you made a decision?" Kara asked and the green eyed wizard smiled, as he could see Dumbledore, Snape, and a few other parties lingering a bit too close for comfort.

"I'll tell you later, away from prying ears," Harry said, as the two of them made their way off of the dance floor, it being over.

The fourth champion had did his traditional dance in the triwizard tournament and had caused a minimum of casualties.

The night was still young and there were a few people lingering, watching Kara.

"You might have the second biggest fan club at Hogwarts," Harry whispered to his girlfriend, which caused her to giggle.

"Hey, Harry….Harry….hey Harry."

"Hullo Colin," Harry said in an exasperated voice and he paused. "Dennis."

Both of the Brothers Creevey stood before them. How they managed to get dates, especially given that one was a first year, well that was a mystery. Harry hoped that they didn't do anything unsavory involving his name to score dates. Like that time where Colin talked to Rita Skeeter and implied that Hermione was his girlfriend.

Such a thing was absurd on so many levels.

"So….um….hi," Colin said, flushing for a second and there was a group of about seven or eight other Muggleborns that was hovering around them. "So….Supergirl…..I was wondering….um….what is Batman really like?"

"Dark and brooding," Kara said without missing a beat.

"Well, I guess…."

"Is there a point to this Colin?" Harry asked in a calm voice but his patience was not exactly strong. He hated having his picture taken to begin because he never out looking any good in them. Class photo day was a tormenting experience for him in primary school that he did not want to relieve. "Because my girlfriend and I were just going out to the grounds for a nice walk and then we were going to go flying."

Tongue tied seemed to be a pretty good description of what they were right now.

"So….we were just…um wondering….well…"

"How did you and Supergirl meet?" one of the Muggleborns said, losing any sense of tact.

Harry said nothing for a few seconds and the group backed off, in fear that he was offended. "Well that's an interesting question."

They waited for him to say something else. He left them hanging, with a smile on his face. Instead, he turned to his girl.

"Kara, would you like to….."

"Of course," Kara said with a smile on her face but unfortunately the hallway had been blocked by Severus Snape. She thought that this hallway got a little bit uglier.

Harry sighed, Snape had that unfortunate quality of showing up when he was not wanted or needed.

"Just where do you think you're going, Potter?"

"Outside, Snape," Harry said without missing a beat.

"You aren't allowed to go outside and you should have never brought an outsider for a date," Snape said looking at her. "The Famous Harry Potter is obvious too good for mere mortals…"

"Snape, I know you're still bitter because my father stood you up for the school dance or something, but you need to get over it, it would be a lot healthier, you know," Harry said and Snape's mouth hung halfway open. Kara nearly bit down on her lip so hard that it drew blood and it was hard to keep the laughter stifled.

"Potter, perhaps detention would cure your….."

"You can't throw me in Detention Professor, I'm immune because I'm a Triwizard Champion," Harry said with a smile and Snape opened his mouth. "So for the rest of the year, you don't have any pull over me. And after next year, well I don't think either of us will have a problem."

"What are you talking about, Potter?"

"The Triwizard Tournament is open to only adults," Harry said swiftly. "Therefore, since I had to compete, I must be considered an adult. So, I no longer have to remain at Hogwarts and I can feel free to choose other options since I'm considered of age."

"You don't think that, Potter, you are not an adult, you are a spoiled little brat," Snape said as he was about ready to pull his wand out but Kara caught his hand and tore it from his hand. Several bones in Snape's hand were broken and he was lucky that she didn't rip his arm off on sheer principle.

"I don't want you to spill your grease all over my boyfriend," Kara said, her burning glare was in his face.

"Listen to me you little s…"

"Is there a problem?"

Dumbledore stood there in the hallway, calmly, looking at Snape.

"Potter and this girl caused nothing but trouble, they harassed young Mr. Malfoy….."

"Your bias toward Malfoy never fail to astound me, Snape," Harry said and Dumbledore opened his mouth with a reprimand, likely for Harry to use his proper title. He never gave him a chance to do so. "Then again, I can expect nothing less from someone who spends so much time with his nose firmly wedged up Lucius Malfoy's backside."

Snape was about ready to attack Harry but he forgot that this blonde got her wand.

"Harry, you shouldn't have invited anyone outside of the school," Dumbledore said as he looked at Kara, with a disappointed expression on his face. "We don't know if she's a security risk….."

"Do I even want to field this one?" Harry asked and Kara shook her head.

"You'd be here all night, babe," Kara said, grabbing Harry's hand firmly into hers. "You know, I wonder why you just hadn't walked out of the door already."

"Mr. Potter needs to….."

"I don't need to do anything, I upheld your little tradition, even if you failed them by not properly securing the Goblet of Fire," Harry said to Dumbledore. "You should know better than anyone that magical enchantments aren't foolproof, you should…"

"Mr. Potter, I know what I'm doing," Dumbledore said, looking as if he was disappointed with Harry.

"Do you?" Harry asked and he turned his back.

"Miss Granger is upset about what you did, she seems to think that you spurned her," Dumbledore said, once again putting himself firmly in disappointed grandfatherly mode.

"Well, she's going to have to accept that I have a life outside of her and you should as well," Harry said, holding Kara more closely into him "And it's a great life, wouldn't you say Kara?"

"Far more exciting," Kara agreed, nodding in agreement. Then again, she was biased.

"When did the two of you meet, if you mind me for asking?" Dumbledore asked. He got the impression that these two knew each other for a very long time and that didn't make any sense.

"I do mind you for asking though," Harry said as he turned himself away from Dumbledore. He could sense a gentle probe going into his mind but he shrugged it off casually and calmly. "Unless you have something to ask me about my remaining time at Hogwarts, I'm afraid that we have nothing to say to each other. And you're cutting into my holiday plans with my girlfriend, by keeping me here longer at this Yule Ball thing."

If there was one thing Dumbledore hated, it was not knowing information and worse yet, someone keeping information from him. Who would be inconsiderate enough to keep vital information from a person who needed it?

Dumbledore was about to insist that Harry stay, despite it being well within his rights to leave but it turned out that there was no need for him to say anything, mostly because he was gone.

The Headmaster frowned, this girl was a bad influence on Harry and the type of corruptive thing that would give Harry a sense of independence that he didn't want him to have.


"All and all, the view is nice, I'll give them that."

Harry and Kara flew away from Hogwarts. Her hand grabbed onto his, maintaining the illusion that Harry could not fly on his own accord, at least until they were out of eyesight.

"So, when are you going to tell them that you can fly?"

"I'm not going to tell them anything, Kara," Harry said, the two of them making their way out of the Hogwarts grounds and over Hogsmeade. "There is so much about me that they don't even know."

"That's for sure, Dumbledore looked like he was going to have a seizure," Kara said, barely keeping the amusement off of her face.

"Good, it would be an improvement," Harry said, shaking his head. "It really blows having to pretend that I like certain people. Still can't believe that they gave a fourteen year old girl a time machine just so she can take a few extra lessons."

"That does seem kind of stupid," Kara agreed, the two of them making their way to their destination. "So far things have been quiet. It's been almost three weeks without an alien invasion."

Harry smiled. "Wow that might be some kind of record."

The blonde laughed. "I know, isn't it?"

The two flew in silence for a few minutes and they dropped down outside of Godric's Hallow.

"So how have you been, other than the entire tournament thing?" Kara asked Harry seriously. Her best friend, now her boyfriend, having a rough time was not something that necessarily made her happy.

"Well, the tournament….it's been all anyone seems to talk about," Harry said to the blonde. "And I'll be honest, the only thing that made these last couple of months more bearable is knowing that I'd see you again soon. But I think it's time for them to know that I have a super awesome girlfriend and I won't be pushed around."

"Oh, you're amazing," Kara said as she wrapped her arms around Harry's neck and lazily rested her shoulder upon her shoulder. "You're seriously leaving Hogwarts after the third task."

"Yes, I've been thinking about it ever since last year, if Hogwarts was supposed to be the safest place on Earth, I hate to see their idea of a dangerous place," Harry said, turning around to properly face his girlfriend. The two of them exchanged a super charged kiss for a second and then broke apart. "But whoever threw my name into the tournament, they did me a favor, unknowingly."

"But you've been getting around the anti-magical law ever since your first year," Kara said and Harry nodded.

"The only reason why I got popped that one time was because of a house elf. And that time with Marge, when she called my mother a bitch and a useless drunk and a slut and….."

"Harry," Kara warned him, but she shared Harry's anger. Someone like Marge was an awful human being who should be sentenced to the Phantom Zone. Actually all of the Dursleys should be sent there.

"But, now I don't have to go back there, ever, thank God," Harry said, as the two of them flew over the gravesite, seeing Harry's mother below. "I don't know what she did, I might never know what she did, but….she did something amazing. Advanced charm work beyond anything that can be comprehended at Hogwarts."

"You know, it might sound silly, but…..I have a question to ask you Harry, a serious question," Kara said and Harry pursed his lips, waiting for it to come out of her mouth. "Are they….really that ignorant about anything that happens outside of their own world?"

"It's a bubble mentality, anything that happens in the Muggle World is not worth their time," Harry said and Kara shook her head, the two of them moving from the Graveyard, having paid their silent respects to Harry's parents.

"You have to be blissfully naïve not to notice half of the shit that the League has to deal with on a regular basis," Kara said.

"Blissfully naïve and magical users often go hand in hand," Harry said, as the two of them continued to fly far away.

The more he thought about it, making Dumbledore and Snape eat their dust was another memory worthy to fuel a Patronus.

"They thought that you were as naïve as they were…"

"Which is what I wanted them to think,"

"No wonder the sorting hat wanted to put you into Slytherin," Kara said, grinning widely.

"Now, Kara, me being in Slytherin or any other house but Gryffindor would defeat the purpose of me being stealthy," he reminded her. "I had to play a role until I got what I wanted."

There was no more than needed to be said other than that. Harry never felt freer than he was now.

"Why did people think you were in the tournament anyway? They have to be pretty stupid. For fame….yeah did they forget that entire Voldemort thing? Was it about gold? You could wipe your ass with a thousand galleons."

Harry snickered, his girlfriend hit the nail right on the head perfectly.

"And it isn't for the thrill….let's face it, you don't need a stupid tournament to get in trouble," Kara said, nudging Harry playfully. "Plus any of their tasks is not going to stop the Basilisk or driving off a hundred Dementors or anything like that."

"Did that feel good to get that off your chest?" Harry asked.

"It just offends me when they call my mate a liar," Kara said, huffily crossing her arms in mid air. The cool winter air didn't bother her, mostly because she went skinny dipping in the Arctic waters in the Fortress.

"So how is everything with the League anyway?"

"Oh, the usual, alien invasion here, convoluted Lex Luthor scheme there, Grodd tried to turn everyone into gorillas for the third time this year," Kara narrated. "So, you're really moving out after this year, aren't you?"

"Yes, I figured that I'd live closer to my girlfriend, not that there is any problem with a long distance relationship with someone who flies faster than a speeding bullet," Harry said. He had been for the past year slowly converting his galleons into Muggle money and investing. The tournament just jump started the process by a couple of years, no big deal really.

"So, Harry….are you ready to do something daring?" Kara asked to him out of the blue.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Catch me if you can, and you can do anything that you want to me," Kara said and she smiled, emphasizing one word. "Anything."

Wiggling her ass towards him, she shot up in a cork, with Harry in hot pursuit after her.

It was days like this he wondered how different his life would have been if he had not met Kara, the shining light in his life.
