Harry woke up the next day with excitement. He would be going to Diagon Alley ! Finally ! One of the things he missed the most was his wand the holly and phoenix feather wand. But, he also had to admit that he was anxious to meet anyone there like Rita Skeeter, or worse, Dumbledore. Well, even with his luck, nothing could go wrong to day.
Boy, he was soo wrong.
He then took breakfast with his new family and then started to dress himself in his jeans and in a dark green shirt.
His parents took them into the car and they drove to Charing Cross Road. Since his parents were muggle, Harry had to pretend that he couldn't see a thing.
"Oh ! look mum! Wizards ! we could ask them where is the Leaky Cauldron" piped Lily.
The small group went to ask the three people that were standing there.
"Excuse-me, I am looking for the Leaky Cauldron, you see my son and daughter are going to Hogwarts and we cannot find this place, do you think you could help us ?"
"Of course !" the man said "My name is Fleamont Potter, this is My wife Euphemia Potter and my son James !"
By the time, Harry had wide eyes at the sight of his dead father. Tears began pouring out of his eyes without him noticing until James spoke up:
"Hey ! Why are you crying ?"
The adults all turned to look at Harry and saw him crying. However, everyone could see a look of confusion on his face as well.
"I don't know, it must be the wind. Hey ! how about we both go shopping for our things together"
"Sure ! why not !"
After that, both of the Potters and the Evans went to Gringotts, then to Madam Malkin's, quickly followed by Flourish and Blotts and the two families finished their trips by stepping into Ollivander.
"Hello Mr. Potter, I wondered when I would be seeing you" he then turned to Fleamont "Cherry Wood, dragon heartstrings and 12 ½ inches?"
"Yes sir !" answered Fleamont jokingly.
Looking at Euphemia he said.
"Oak wood, Unicorn tail, 9 ½ inches and slightly flexible, am I right ?"
"As always" she answered smiling.
"And you are ?" He enquired
"I'm Harry Evans, this is my sister Lily and we would like to buy our wands" he said politely."
"I see", he said with eyes that showed knowledge much more important that he showed, "Can you come with me Mr. Evans, I would like to measure you, but first, what is your wand arm ?"
"Er.. I'm right handed"
"Very well. Stay still until the tape finishes his measures"
oO0OoO0OoO0O
Ten minutes later, Harry stepped out of Ollivander's shop with his wand sitting in his pocket.
His mother got the wand Ollivander told Harry in his previous timeline "Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow while his father got his own "a mahogany wand. Eleven inches. Pliable." Harry was delighted to finally get his wand back, he felt incomplete, no incomplete isn't the right word, he felt almost naked and defenceless.
They were on their way to an ice cream when Lily started running
"Sev ! Sev ! you were right I'm a witch"
"That's great news Lily !" said the black robed Severus.
While they were talking James asked Harry
"Hey ! Could you tell me why you look like me ? It's kind of disturbing"he said grimacing
"I really have no idea, but it's great ! we would be able to pull pranks there ! you know pretending to be each other !"
The mention of pranks instantly created a mischievous glint in James' eyes.
"I love pranks I will be one of the greatest Hogwarts prankster of all times !"
"I'm sure you will" chuckled Harry.
oO0OoO0OoO0OoO0Oo
While the Evans were getting to leave, they heard a scream coming from Diagon Alley. Instantly, Harry's fighting ability were up to his maximum and his wand was in his hand in no time.
Suddenly a lot of "cracks" could be heard and the Potter plus Evans and other family were surrounded by people in black cloaks and were wearing masks. In other words, they were surrounded by Death Eaters. A Death Eater appeared behind Harry and took a hold on Lily, forcing her to join the other Death Eaters.
"Wel, well, well" said a soft voice that Harry could only call Voldemort "what have we got here ? A little mudblood ? where are your parents ?"
Lily started crying while all the spectators were afraid. Voldemort still looked a but like the Tom Riddle in the diary so that meant that he didn't have a lot of horcruxes, yet. Harry began searching what chances he had, he had his wand and could easily defeat Voldemort but that would be too much suspicious since he only got it an hour ago. The first thing to do was to get his mother out of Tom's clutches. He started to walk back without anyone seeing him and when he was out of sight, he began to transform into the Firebird.
"What will we do to you ? how about some pain ? do you want some ?" Tom asked evilly with an evil glint in his eyes" yes I think you will have to suffer because of your blood status, after all, you shouldn't even have magic".
"Cru-"but he was interrupted by a flash of flames. A magnificent phoenix with red, blue and yellow feathers appeared of nowhere, gripped Lily tightly and flashed her into the Leaky Cauldron where she could be safe.
Needless to say, Voldemort was fuming with rage. "WHO DARES-" he began booming but was interrupted by a small boy coming from the crowd.
"Hello Tom, Morvolous Riddle to find you here (pun intended)" began Harry "I heard some bad things about you since you killed my parents but I would never have guessed that being born from a muggle and a near-squib, you would dare want to rid the blood of muggle-borns, I really think that being a half-blood doesn't permit you this."
Tom had his eyes wide open at this boy that came from nowhere and knew a lot about his life. "Crucio!" he said but harry simply sidestepped it. "Now I give you a fair warning do not lay finger on anyone and I'll let you live your life, otherwise you'll have to face me.
"And who are you, young man ? you cannot do any magic, from your age I can deduce that you will start Hogwarts on September then what can you do to me, you stupid child, go home and sleep with your teddy bear." Tom said and his followers began laughing. What Tom said was one of his only regrets of his life. Harry began to be lift from the ground with only fury in his eyes. His magic began lashing voldemort, making gashes in his body, and cutting through him he even did something that no-one could have guessed. He cut his nose. "Hear me Tom, this is your last warning, go back where you come from !" magic began flooding the space and beams began erupting out of Harry's body, covering him like a halo around him.
Counting his chances, voldemort yelled "retreat!" before apparating away. Soon, most of his followers did the same and Diagon Alley was rid of danger for the moment.
Someone in the crowd began applauding, quickly followed by everyone who has seen the scene, his parents didn't understand most of it but they understood enough to say that what their new son had done, it was incredibly brave. It was a standing ovation, only Harry realised that he was in a big mess, yet, he didn't use any wand so he could blame it on accidental magic. Ignoring the whistles, Harry headed to the Leaky Cauldron to find Lily rushing to hug him and thanking him about his bravery. The only thing that made the day worse was a voice behind him saying "good, very good" recognising his voice, Harry turned to find the beaming face of Albus Dumbledore.
