Chapter 1
"I can't believe that just happened, I thought that they knew me better than that," Harry muttered to himself as he stormed though out of the kitchen and into the entrance hall of Grimmauld Palace, emotions of frustration and determination shone strongly in his eyes. "Well tough luck for them-"
"Harry, mate, wait a minute!" Ron's voice came from within the kitchen followed by the sound of several scraping chairs. "Just stop and think for a moment! You and Ginny-"
"Are not getting married and I am not going to be staying in Grimmauld Palace like Sirius was forced to during the war," Harry hissed out in anger as his left hand went to the simple silver bracelet on his right wrist, in which held everything and anything he would need for his plans, including extra money, clothes, food and more. "Hermione took this a lot better!"
"Yeah well I am not Hermione and I know how the Wizarding World works," Ron blurted out only to be followed by an angry scream and feet stamping. "Ginny! Get out of the way I need to-"
"I want you all out of here within the hour, if you aren't then I've given Kreacher permission to kick you out," Harry replied as he harshly opened the front door, not caring about the loud bang as the front door slammed against the wall. "I am going to find my own way in life and there is nothing you can do to stop me!"
"Harry James Potter! How dare you do this to me!" Ginny's screeching voice came from the kitchen, reminding Harry of a harpies cry. "Ron! Do something!"
Using the few extra moments he had thanks to Ginny's temper tantrum Harry allowed himself to transform into his animagus form. A small black kitten with large green eyes, his lightning bolt scar that had faded over the years thanks to the removal of the Horcrux was hidden thanks to his black fur. Without a fleeting glance behind Harry darted out of the front door and into the Muggle World, leaving the angry screams of Ron and Ginny Weasley behind him.
'Thank Merlin that my animagus form is a black kitten, it saved my fur so many times in the war and it looks like it has once again' Harry thought as his small paws pounded hard against the concrete pavement under him while he dashed in between the many legs of ignorant Muggles. 'I wonder what drove Ron and Ginny to act like they did. Hermione seemed almost happy and relieved that I wanted to see what the world has to offer now that the war has been over for a few years. Better find a safe place to gather myself and work out what I can do next.'
Bright emerald green eyes scanned the path ahead as Harry's short but powerful cat legs continued to carry him farther and farther away from Grimmauld Palace and those it held inside only to spot an empty alleyway between what seemed to be two shops. Without thinking Harry allowed his legs to carry him in a mad scramble into the alleyway and away from the many dangerous feet that might stand on him.
'I wonder how far I am from Grimmauld Palace now' Harry thought as he slowed down as he walked deeper into the small alleyway. A shudder passed through his body as several thoughts of just what Ron and Ginny might do to him if they find him. 'I am just a fool, why am I thinking like this for? They are my friends after all. First things first though, where am I?'
Lifting his head to look around Harry suddenly found himself frozen in place by a pair of lazy eyes that seemed to scream out 'fox' to Harry. He wore a strange blue full body cloak which looked Japanese to Harry; on top of it he had a dark blue jacket. On his head he wore a simple straw hat that seemed to cover up his not quiet Weasley red hair. Lowering his gaze Harry found himself looking at two white socks covered feet that was protected by a pair of wooden sandals that Harry had only seen in a strange ninja cartoon that Dudley had once watched.
Listening to his feline instincts, which he had learnt to listen to after saving his life many times in the war, Harry slowly took one small step backwards only to freeze as the man-fox spoke.
"Consider this a very rare free one, little kitty," the man-fox said slowly as he raised his wooden pipe with silver ends to his mouth. Harry watched as he carefully took a deep breath and blew the smoke out of his mouth only for it to take the shape of a small kitten running randomly about. "It is not safe for one like you to be running around by yourself, no matter the reason. Go out of this alleyway, turn right and continue walking onwards until you pass the newsagent shop, there you should turn left only to take the first right you come to. Here you should find yourself on a main road full of different shops, look for the cafe called 'The Naughty and Nice Cafe'. You should find a big sign with it on easily enough. That is the place you want to be, you can either find your way back or hang about there, which is your best options right now, little kitty."
"Meow?" Harry offered nervously as he gave the man-fox his best cute innocent kitten look only for the strange man to let out a dry chuckle.
"Nice try little kitty," the man-fox said with a sly smile on his face causing Harry to gulp nervously. "If you don't want to take my advice and find The Naughty and Nice Cafe and stick around then you are quiet welcome to come down to Hell and find me. I work in the Kitsune No Mukouire, just come into the cafe and ask for Gon and you will find yourself a nice job. I will make sure that you will get employed, no matter what form you chose."
'What is he...this Gon person talking about? What is he doing here, his obviously not human...and what does he mean going down to hell?' Harry thought as he eyed Gon with careful eyes only to feel an unnerving shiver that held a tell tale warning go up his spine. 'That is it, this Gon guy is giving me the creeps, I am getting out of here!'
Without a second thought Harry quickly span on his feet and fled the alleyway, leaving behind him a very amused Gon. Sharp teeth flashed with a sly grin which was echoed by sharp and sly eyes as he watched the little kitty disappear in a flash. With a deep breath from his favourite pipe Gon blew out allowing the smoke to form into the shape of a kitten with several tails.
"I wonder how long it will take Mr. Potter to realise that his animagus form is not an animagus form," Gon hummed out as he turned around and headed deeper into the alleyway. "Now that should be interesting."
***Meanwhile back with Harry
'That was close, I do not know what he was talking about but he sent warning signals though my body just like how the Death Eaters used to do during the war.' Harry thought with a shudder as he slowly made his way farther and farther away from the alleyway. 'What was with all the words that meant two different things and why did he give me direction for?...the directions!'
Coming to a stop Harry looked around only to find that he had automatically turned right when coming out of the alleyway. As the wind softly blew though his whiskers Harry felt his interest peeked and the call of adventure beckoning him. A fanged grin slowly appeared on his face as Harry's black cat ears began to move about on top of his small head.
'I wonder if this is the adventure that I have been looking for.' Harry thought excitedly as he gained his bearings only to notice that he had somehow managed to find himself just passing the mentioned newsagent shop. 'I guess the question is what harm can it do if I follow the directions that Gon fox person gave me...I can just look at the cafe from the window. What is the worse that could happen?'
With a nod of his head Harry quickly began to dart forwards as he began to follow his now decided path. As he took the left turn Harry found himself faced with what seemed like a maze of different paths and directions. Gon's directions rang out clear in his head as he found himself looking for the first right only to find it just a few right just a few meters from where he was standing.
'I better not be walking into a trap, and I better not hear anything like how the curiosity killed the cat when I return home either' Harry thought as he quickly made his way along the street only to notice that they were all residential homes instead of the more loud, shopping side, of London that he was expecting and new. 'I seem that Gon has sent me on a short cut where these homes sit between the two busy areas.'
Quick black paws carried Harry the short distance, his feline eyes darted around carefully as he took everything in. His ears twisted and turned upon his head as he carefully listened to every sound that the residential area brought, which was a world away from the hustling and bustling crowd of a busy London road. Relief filled his small body as Harry found himself stepping out onto a main road; this one was full of life and packed with busy shops.
'It looks like I have found the street that this Naughty or Nice Cafe is on, if what that Gon fox said is true.' Harry thought as he looked around the busy street and stared at the bright colours that the many shops had to offer to try and gain his attention. 'He said that I should not be out on my own like I am...I wonder what he means by that.'
Shaking his head slightly to try and control his confusing thoughts Harry allowed his attention to skim across the many rows of shops. Each one seemed to shout out in different ways about their own products, some of which gained Harry's attention. With a mental promise to return to some of these shops Harry slowly made his way along the busy street while being careful of the many dangerous feet only to let out a sharp hiss as he jumped to the side quickly as a flash of bright red suddenly rained down on him from above.
'Careful woman, you could take someone's eye out with high heels like those.' Harry hissed out as he puffed up his fur in an attempt to make himself bigger. Tilting his head upwards to get a better look of any possible danger emerald green eyes landed on a modern yet old world feel building that was surrounded by a garden with a white fence wrapped around it. 'There you are! I finally found the cafe! Victory is mine!'
With a large cat like grin on his face Harry delicately trotted over towards the cafe. Even from a few meters away Harry could feel the powerful magic that surrounded the cafe and come washing off of it like waves on the ocean sea.
Excitement buzzed through Harry as he got closer and took in the large flower covered archway that framed the entrance with an old fashioned 'The Naughty or Nice Cafe' wooden sign that hung from the arch. Attached to the sign below was an equally beautiful sign that read 'Opening Soon – Thank You for Waiting.'
'So this is it then.' Harry thought as he came to stand just in front of the Muggle cafe that had magic rolling off of it in waves, as if sending out a silent signal to Magical and Supernatural beings. 'It looks like I have just found my next big adventure.'
To Be Continued.
