As Harry and Neville were leaving Ollivanders, a voice called out "Harry!" Harry, having never heard that voice spun around to find who had called out to him. When he saw a rather tall, and very old wizard moving through the crowd towards them, Harry quickly asked Lily who he was.
'Hey, Lily, who is that ancient wizard run towards us?' I asked 'Because if that's Albus Dumbledore, then we're going to HAVE to meet him. He's headmaster, right?'
'Harry, yes, you are correct in that he's Dumbledore, and he's headmaster, but you cannot meet him until you can control your magical aura. Right now, it would make him try and put a magic binding on you, so just take Neville's hand, and run to The Leaky Cauldron. Your apparating from there back to the manor.' Lily informed him, before Albus had gotten more than 3 feet closer. 'Now go, while I create the illusion of you standing and waiting for him.'
'You can do that with magic!? Well, I'll just grab Neville, tell him the plan, and fly out, k?' I stated/asked.
'Flying works better, as it's faster, and you won't cause the crow to part around you. Talk with you back at the Manor.'
With that, I spun around to face Neville, quickly explained what was about to happen, grabbed his waist, took flight and apparated from the Leaky Cauldron just as Dumbledore reached the illusions. They dissipated, due to the sudden lack of magic being put into it.
(Time Lapse, Location - Longbottom Manor)
As I reappeared at Longbottom Manor, Frank and Alice ran into the room.
"Neville, Harry, where in Merlin's name were you!? We're taking you to Diagon Alley today, remember. Now, get-" Alice began, before being interrupted by Frank, who looked very confused.
"Harry, where did you get that Staff? You haven't already gone to Diagon Alley, have you?" Frank asked, in an odd voice.
"Um, yeah, sorry that we went without you, but I really needed as soon as possible, and I couldn't wait. I also brought Neville, so we have all our stuff. But, um, we can go back to Diagon for a while, seeing as I was attracting unwanted attention." I explained to a saddened Alice and Frank. They appeared to really want us to have waited for them, and now it would seem that it wouldn't have worked either way, especially if we had met Dumbledore there. Then I would've had to run, and i couldn't return to the Manor, at least not for a while.
"It's okay, just next time tell us, so we don't have to worry for you. I nearly called Dumbledore to help us try and find you." Alice informed us, everyone missing the dark look fly across my face. Soon, I'd need to show them that Dumbledore wasn't as Light as he seemed, and neither was I.
