Bug-eyed took another look at Malfoy and slapped his hand on the center of his forehead. "Look, if my sister is giving you problems, I'm sorry but-"

"I wasn't giving anyone trouble!" Alexandra snapped. "Sebastian was." She pointed at the cat, who Harry realized was sniggering again in the palm of his paw.

How strange, Harry thought. Isn't Paris a muggle city? Even if they are wizards why don't they have any wands?

"Umm…" Harry chimed in. "She wasn't giving us any problems, honest. I'm Harry Potter, er-who are you?"

"I am Alexander Cabot the third." Alexander said, proudly. "This is my sister Alexandra Cabot and her cat Sebastian!"

"I'm perfectly capable of introducing myself, little chicken brother!" Alexandra barked.

"Sorry," Alexander said, nervously. "Won't happen again….."

"Alex? Alex! ALEX!!!"

A dark-skinned girl in a violet jumper that was up to her thighs came over to Alex.

"There you are!" She said. "I see you had found Alexandra, have you?"

"Yup, and some new friends!" Alex grinned. "Val, this is Harry Potter and his friends!"

"Oh, hello Harry!" Val said, politely. "Pleasure to meet you, I'm Valerie!"

"ER-hello!" Harry said, cheerfully. "How's it going?"

Before she could answer more people came. A girl with short red hair, another girl with wavy blonde hair, and a dude with muscular arms and blonde hair were standing next to Valerie.

"Val?" Red-haired girl asked. "What's going on?"

"Why," Valerie said. "We've meet Harry Potter!"

"I know, I know, the Boy Who Lived, yeah yeah!" Harry chuckled nervously.

"Pardon?" Valerie asked, confused.

:"Erm, never mind." Harry said, clearly embarrassed.

"Hiya Harry!" Muscular Arms said. "I'm Alan M. and this is Josie." He was addressing to the red-hair chick. "And this is Melody." He pointed to the blonde girl who giggled. "Did Val tell you they're in a band?"

"A band?" Hermione sounded interested. "Of what?"

"Well, I, Melody, and Valerie are in a band called Josie and the Pussycats!" Josie said.

"Big deal." Alexandra muttered.

"Oh cool," Harry said. Then he introduced his gang. They all exchanged friendly gestures for a few minutes.

"So," Josie said. "Where are you from?"

"Um….. Hogwarts?" Ron said, nervously.

"Oooh!" Melody exclaimed. "What a groovy name! If you have a band Harry, you should call it Harry and the Hogwartians!" Then, she giggled.

"Oh brother." Alex groaned.

"Hogwarts?" Alexandra said. "What kind of name is that?"

"Erm, a magical one, duh!" Ron said, as this was very obvious.

"Hogwarts, huh?" Valerie sounded interested. "Where is the place at?"

"England" Harry said.

"Cool, what is it?" Valerie asked.

"Um….." Hermione said. "Believe it or not, it's a magical school for Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Really?" Valerie said, excitedly. "Show us some magic!"

"They REALLY believe us?" Malfoy asked, surprised. "These mudbloods aren't affected by the fact we told them we're wizards?"

"I guess not." Hermione said.

"Erm…. We can't actually," Harry said, scratching his back. "It doesn't work here."

"Liars!" Alexandra muttered, for only Harry, Ron, and Hermione to heard. She seemed to be whispering to her cat Sebastian, who nodded at her and snickered and she hold him and stroked his back. "Let me show them some real magic!" Then, she stroked her cat's back and said these words.

"Hair of fire, pussycat pretty

Make Josie James look like the yeti!"

The spell did indeed work, but not really on Josie, it actually backfired and went over to Malfoy, whose face started to grow white hair and his hands were becoming like gorillas.

"Ahhhh!" Malfoy screamed. "What's going on?"

"Oh!" Alexandra said, frustrated. "Why does this always happens to me?"

Her cat then sniggered, Harry, Ron, and Hermione watched in amazement. Something really odd was happening.

"What's wrong, Malfoy?" Valerie asked, concerned.

"Ahhh!" Malfoy yelled. "I'm a monster!"

"Relax," Alexandra said, as she and Sebastian went over to where he was standing. She stroked her cat's back again and Malfoy was back to normal. "You just sound like my chicken brother."

"Phew!" Malfoy breathed. He turned to Valerie. "What just happened?"

"I don't know," Valerie shrugged. "That's what I'm trying to figure out."

"Don't worry, man," Alan said. "Weird things always happen to us."

"Same here," Harry said, bewildered of what just happened. Then, a lump was forming in his throat. He wanted to ask them something important.

"Um…" Harry said, as he scratched his neck nervously. "Are you guys magic too?"

"No…" Valerie said. "Why?"

"Never mind," Harry said, quickly.

"So….." Josie stared out. "Are you guys on a field trip with your school?"

"Not actually…." Hermione said. "To be honest, we are lost here, we went back into Time."

"Time?!?!" Valerie said, fascinated. "That's brilliant!"

Hermione blushed. "Well, it wasn't my idea, it was Harry's!"

Harry gave Valerie an awkward little wave.

"Gee whiz!" Melody giggled. "If you went back into Time, did you mean that you had to get inside a large clock?"

"No, you twit," Malfoy said. "We made a Time Machine."

"Oh," Melody laughed. "If you put it that way!"

Malfoy rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, since you don't have anywhere to stay, you could stay with us in our groovy hotel. You can check out our music studio if you like." Josie said.

"A great honor," Harry said. "But we shouldn't let you go to all that trouble for us."

"No, no," Alan said. "We love to help; besides we're the Pussycats, right gang?"

"Me," Alexandra snorted. "A pussycat? I'd rather die than be one."

"She sure has a nasty attitude." Malfoy muttered loudly.

"Hmm…" Harry said. "Remind you of someone."

"Shut up, Potter." Malfoy said. "Remember you have to get me out of this mess, you're the one who got us here."

"Excuse me?" Harry yelped. He couldn't believe what Malfoy was saying. "Last time I checked, you're the one who got us into this predicament, not me!"

"Oh really?" Malfoy sneered.

"Guys, stop!" Hermione said, as she indulged herself into the argument. "Please, we'll sort that out later. Let's just be polite, okay?"

Malfoy rolled his eyes and just smirked at Harry. Harry turned away.

"Guys," Valerie said, looking concerned. "If you need anything, well, like we said; we can help you."

"Thank you, Valerie." Hermione said. "But we'll sort it out later. Now let's get to that music studio, shall we?"

"Sounds groovy," Valerie exclaimed. "Let's skip!"

Everyone followed the Pussycats into what seemed like a tour bus. They all sat down on the plush seats.

"You like our tour bus?" Melody giggled. "Isn't it groovy?"

"Yeah, it is." Ron said.

"Oh, Melody," Alexandra rolled her eyes. "Just shut up for once."

"Can I quiet down?" Melody said. Then, she giggled. Ron gave Harry an exasperated look, as if he were dealing with Melody's dumbness.

"Oh, just forget it." Alexandra sighed, dramatically.

Sebastian snickered. Harry watched him.

"Someone's angry." Malfoy said.

Alexandra glared at him. "And is it your business?"

"Put a lid on it, skunkhead," Malfoy said.

"Oh, you're a smart allick, now are you?"

"Um….. If you say so,"

Alexandra waved her fist in the air. "Oh, I'll show you!" Then, she stormed out of the tour bus. They were at the studio. Soon everyone got out.

"Harry Potter and friends!" Josie exclaimed. "I give you our recording studio. Come along now!"

Everyone entered the studio, which was filled with records hanging on the wall and portraits of Josie and the Pussycats and instruments that were laid out on the ground, scattered all over.

"Wanna hear a tune?" Josie asked.

"Sure!" Harry exclaimed.

"Okay then…."

Then, the Pussycats headed to pick up the instruments and practiced a little and then started to play. They played their newest hit "Lie, Lie, Lie."

I've seen you face, I've heard your voice before.

I know I heard those same old lies before

The rainbow that you made I chased before

But now I know I just can't chase it anymore…."

Harry must admit to himself, the Pussycats music wasn't so bad after all. He couldn't help but tap his foot to this insanely groovy music. He watched as his other friends had danced also, Ron and Hermione were kind of doing a dance number with each other, but it seemed to kind of awkward for them, since they were avoiding eye contact from each other and was trying not to seem as though they were dancing, even though everyone knew. It was like as if a giant elephant was in the room, everyone noticed it, but didn't say anything about it.

Lie, Lie, Lie,

You told me

Lie, Lie, Lie

You sold me

Lie, Lie, Lie…

"Man, you just got to dig that groovy tune, right Alex?" Alan said, as he snapped his fingers in delight.

"You said it, Alan." Alex said, tapping his foot lightly. "You said it."

Alexandra rolled her eyes while Sebastian was at her side. "Oh! Why does everyone think Josie and the Pussycats are so swell? If they listened to my band, Alexandra and The Cool Time Cats, they would ditch the Pussycats and drop them like a hot tomato." Then, a wide evil grin appeared on her face while Sebastian snickered once again. She continued. "That would also mean Alan would forget about dumb old Josie and for once pay attention to me." She picked up Sebastian and whispered in his ear.

"Go Sebastian, and pull that little clothing thing out of Harry's pocket. If it is a big enough sheet, maybe we could throw it over the Pussycats and ruined their act."

Sebastian nodded approvingly, and made his way towards Harry.

Meanwhile, Harry was having fun and felt so… happy. He had never left so happy after what happened to his godfather the previous year, he was so devastated and dreadful about it, but now he was away from all the chaos, Voldemort could never find him here.

He saw Sebastian creeping up next to him, and patted his silky black fur in excitement. Sebastian purred and rubbed Harry's leg. This was part of his plan, he would purr and purr until Harry would get distracted by the Pussycats and climb his leg to get the cloth. He rubbed where the clothing was and the clothing slipped down a little. Sebastian snickered to himself as he kept doing this until the clothing dropped on the floor. Sebastian held it up with his teeth and dragged it across the floor to Alexandra. Alexandra looked genuinely pleased and picked up the clothing.

"Just as I've suspected," Alexandra said, as she examined the clothing. She then marched over to the Pussycats, who were still performing and accidentally tripped over a plant and covered her own self with the clothing.

"Help!" She screamed. "Someone take this off of me!!"

Josie and the Pussycats had just finished their number when they heard the frantic help.

"Alexandra?" Josie called. "Where are you?"

"Over here, you dummy!" Alexandra barked. "Are you blind or something? I'm under here!"

"Under where?" Valerie had a good eye and she scanned the room and didn't see anywhere where Alexandra could hide. After all, the studio was a small place and there weren't any big objects around where Alexandra could easily camouflage herself. Either this meant that Alexandra was great at hide and seek, or she was just up to her tricks… once again. Valerie resorted to her second theory.

"I don't see her." Melody said. "Do you Val?"

"No I do not, Melody." Valerie said, puzzled. Then she said sternly, directing this to Alexandra. "Alexandra! Stop fooling us, just come out wherever you are and quit it!"

"What?" Alexandra said, irritated. "I am pulling your leg, I really am in trouble."

"Alexandra?" Alan M. called. "Where are you?"

"Oh Alan, I am under this dusty blanket." Alexandra said, sweetly.

Just then, it hit Harry what had happen, but he still couldn't figure out how she had gotten hold of it. He looked at Sebastian suddenly, who was snickering at Alexandra's trouble, and realized what had happen.

That cat, Harry thought. He's cleverer than Crookshanks.

"Hang on," Harry said aloud. Everyone turned to him. "I think I know where she is."

Then, he called out. "Why, Alexandra, where are you near?"

"I am near some dusty knocked down plant!" Alexandra said, angrily. "Can you see where I am, I'm not that hard to find, I am under this blanket or some sort of cloak."

"She's under the invisibility cloak!" Hermione exclaimed. She turned to Harry, appalled. "How did she have gotten hold of it?"

"Invisibility cloak?" Valerie said, sounding fascinated.

"She's over there!" Alex yelled, while he pointed at the corner. "She must be around there somewhere."

"I'll get her." Harry declared. He then marched to the corner and began to touch the floor for the cloak, once he felt its silky complexion, he took it off and Alexandra appeared on the floor. Everyone gasped.

"So Alexandra really wasn't joking!" Josie said.

"That's right, you dumb redhead." Alexandra said, as she brushed her shoulders. Harry helped her get up from the ground. "I told you I wasn't."

"Alexandra, what is that in your hair?" Valerie pointed at Alexandra's head. Sebastian snickered.

"Oh, it isn't funny, you dumb feline!" Alexandra said, as she ruffled through her hair. The paper went flying and it landed on the floor. Hermione picked it up and examined it while Valerie was at her side, doing the exact thing also.

"It must be a secret message." Valerie said, as she searched the paper. She leaned in closely. "I can't believe it!! It is address to us Pussycats."

"Read it, Hermione." Ron said. "What does it say?"

Hermione read the following aloud:

Dear Pussycats,

Bonjour, this Mr. DuPaurre. Last time you were in Paris, the Shadow was up to his evil plans and we had a little encounter with each other. Well, I am warning you that he is back, and he is after you guys and is planning to steal one of your friends! And he is also trying to find the blue box, which is are only last weapon in destroying the Shadow and his followers once and for all and the Shadow is in search of the box and wants to destroy it! So this is why I am addressing you with this note, to address you with clues on the whereabouts where the box might be. Here is the first official clue. Listen carefully, search in Paris for the girl who is smallest one who walks in two straight lines.

"Oh no!" Alexander said. "The Shadow is back! What are we going to do?"

"Find the blue box and stop him, of course silly." Valerie said.

"Valerie is exactly correct." Hermione chimed in. "We must be aware at all times too! Remember DuPaurre says that the Shadow is planning to kidnap one of us, so we must keep our eyes open."

"We should hurry and find this girl who walks in two straight lines!" Harry declared.

"Yeah, Potter." Malfoy snapped. "That's a good idea, but the problem is we don't know who that person is!"

"That is why we have to search!" Ginny said.

"Do we have too?" Alexander whined.

"Of course, chicken brother," Alexandra snapped. "Now cool it or else…"

"Cooling it!" Alexander said, although his knees were trembling.

"That wouldn't be necessary though," Luna piped up. "Because I know who the girl is…"
