A/N: Okay, I'd like to start by saying THANK YOU FOR READING! This is a time turner story in which my OC goes back to the marauder era to warn everyone of the war, the traitors, the deaths, and the future. Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know it'll alter the time line and the future but that's kind of the point. Don't like, don't read. ALSO, I rated it M to be safe but it's most likely just going to be T. IDK, I've never posted on Fanfic so I'm not sure.

This is an extremely short prologue, the actual story will start next chapter and takes place in the marauder's th year right after Desdemona travels back in time.

PROLOGUE

It's been almost 3 years since the war. 3 years since she lost her uncle. 3 years since she lost her love.

Des has been speaking to Dumbledore's portrait and he seems to think if she times things just right she could save them. Prevent the war entirely. It won't be easy and it's going to take time. But if Des can go back far enough - before the first war - she might be able to save more than she dares to hope for.

After 3 years, Des finally thinks she's tampered with the time turner and managed to make the clock go by years instead of hours.

"Remember, child. You may not answer any questions, you are only to read what is written. The book is enchanted - chapters will appear as you read them and disappear as you finish them," The wise portrait of the greatest headmaster Hogwarts ever had spoke.

"Yes sir, I know." The young girl in front of him breath out, anxiously clutching the necklace around her neck. "I've only got one shot so I'll have to make it count. Do you have any idea how long I'll be there before time fixes itself and sends me back here?"

"None at all," the portrait beamed. "25 turns should do the trick. And remember, they must not know who you are. The book will reveal it soon enough. You may share your first name is you choose,"

"What do you -" the dark haired girl started, eyes wide in surprise.

"25 turns." His blue eyes sparkle behind his spectacles as he smies at her encouragingly.

Taking a deep breathe, the dark haired girl begins counting the turns of the time turner around her neck. Clutching the book and a hogwarts crested envolope tightly she watches the minature sand filled turner spin rapidly. Closing her eyes she feels her environment change rapidly, as if she's flying through the seasons and the days. With a sudden crashing feeling, she hits the hard floor with a loud and painful THUD!
