The Day after Halloween, 1981
Albus Dumbledore was pacing his office. When he had heard that the Potters had escaped Voldemort's grasp, he immediately started worrying about the Longbottoms, surely Voldemort would go after the Longbottoms because of their son. He was almost positive that the spell he had created would help them, but as it was absolutely impossible to test it on another wizard he would just have to risk it. And with that, he apparated to the Longbottoms house. He knocked politely and waited patiently for someone to open the door. Alice Longbottom knew that Voldemort would be after her son and she was terrified. So when she heard a knock on the door the day after the Potters had narrowly escaped Voldemort, she was scared to open it, but when she heard Albus Dumbledore ask aloud if anyone was home, she opened the door and welcomed Dumbledore into her house. Dumbledore took the next 10 minutes to explain to Alice and her husband Frank that they were in great danger and that he could help them with a spell he invented if they wished him to. The Longbottoms accepted Dumbledore's offer and were excited to have the chance to live. Dumbledore told them that they should go to Hogwarts since it was safe, and that he would wait for Voldemort at their house. After the Longbottoms disapparated, Dumbledore sat on the couch and waited. An hour later, the door burst open to reveal a person so horrible that people were afraid to speak his name: Lord Voldemort. "Hello Tom," said Dumbledore calmly. "Where are the Longbottoms, old man?" Voldemort asked shrewdly. "I've hidden them Tom, and I intend to finish your reign of terror tonight." Voldemort sneered, "You always did like me the least of all my teachers, Dumbledore, and I will duel you just to humor you." "What ever you say, Tom." replied Dumbledore. Dumbledore and Voldemort faced each other across the living room they both bowed to each other and stood at their ready positions. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort screamed. "EXPELLIARMUS!" Dumbledore shouted. Voldemort's wand flew to the side, and as he ran to get it Dumbledore cried, "AVADA KEDAVRA MAXIMA!" Voldemort crumpled, but managed to get to his wand and disapparate unbeknownst to Dumbledore, who thought Voldemort had dissolved with the sheer power of the spell. Muggles began to mill around, and Dumbledore disapparated back to Hogwarts.
