Prologue

It was half pass ten when Jasmine Potter, girl who lived and savior of the wizarding world, finally put away her paperwork and locked up for the night. The department of mysteries was not deserted as most departments would be at such a time and Jasmine passed a few other unspeakables who were engrossed in their work on her way out of the office area.

She loved working in the DOM because no one there treated her differently. To them, she was just another unspeakable, a unique one perhaps, but still one of them nevertheless. She was one of the department's best agents because her name and face allowed her to be invited to gatherings and parties not usually open to the public. Everyone wanted to curry favour with Jasmine Potter and some of them would accidentally let slip bits of information in their excitement.

The general public was under the impression that Jasmine was studying for her Runes mastery and using her fame to campaign for certain bills in the wizengamot. She indeed was doing those things but when she was free, she would drop by the office to inform her superiors of her findings. Like two-thirds of the unspeakables, Jasmine was one of the department's under-cover agents. Hardly anyone knew she worked for the DOM, not even her closest friends.

Most people believed that the department of mysteries dealt with research of anything mysterious or obscure, but they did not realise that the department consisted of not only researchers, but spies and in a few instances, assassins as well.

Now that the second blood war was over, Jasmine was on a look out for any children of death eaters who might want revenge and cause trouble. She was quite confident that Draco Malfoy, although still a huge pain in the ass, was no longer a real threat. She supposed his family had learned their lesson after being tortured by Voldermort and were trying to lay low and keep out of the public's eye.

She was not so sure about a few other children of death eaters, though. Pansy Parkinson and the Carrow twins had dropped off the grid and Jasmine was worriedly keeping an ear out for any sign of them.

As she was passing by the time room where the research teams kept all of their time turners, she heard a muffled scream and some scuffling sounds behind the door and froze. With a twist of her wrist, her trusty Holly and phoenix feather wand fell into her hand. She shot out a silent patronus requesting for back up and in a matter of seconds, a few of the unspeakables she passed previously came running around the corner.

She motioned for Katie Bell, Elliot Gibson and Gabriel kirkman to get into position behind her and then shot a blasting hex at the door. The three people wearing death eater masks were so startled that it gave Jasmine time to shoot off a stunning curse at the middle death eater before he could move.

Seeing that their friend was unconscious, the other two death eaters jumped into motion, recklessly casting the unforgivables, bone-breakers and blasting hexes. Jasmine became worried when she saw a killing curse narrowly Miss Katie bell who had just dragged the unconscious body of Gloria spencer, head researcher of the time division, with her as she took cover behind one of the desks. She needed to end this quickly, before the situation got worse.

She and Elliot stood back to back and tried to corner the other two death eaters but there was very little room to maneuver and soon they were standing beside the cabinet housing the time turners.

One of the two remaining death eaters, clearly a woman by the way her death eater robes clung to her figure and the higher pitch of her voice used her friend as a human shield. That startled Jasmine so much that she paused for a moment to digest what she had just seen and in the split second of distraction, the last death eater shot a killing curse in her direction.

She ducked and the cabinet behind her shattered, causing the time turners to tumble out of their boxes and shatter at her feet. The time sand floated up and around her, and the last thing Jasmine Potter saw was Elliot's horrified face before she saw black.
