Harry Potter and his wives were having discussion about the events that were going to take place in DoM, today. They just finished reading about the article that came out in the Daily Prophet.
New Dark Lord on rise?
Two days ago the members of Weasley family were found murdered as they supported Lord Harry Potter in the Wizengamot 1 week ago. The males of the family Arthur, Charlie, Percival, George and Ronald Weasley along with the females Ginerva and Hermione Weasley, were brutally murdered. A dark mark was found hanging on the Burrow. Our reporter spoke to Lord Harry Potter about this. He solemn reply was "It is not Voldemort, he is definitely dead. It seems that someone is trying to follow his footsteps. I don't know who had the motive for this. A good family has been murdered, they will be missed. I would advise the auror department to be vigilant."
Bodies of the Diggory family were found in the same area. It seems they were attacked when they were having a family gathering. Also Late Cedric Diggory's body was found in the area, experts have found evidences of Necromantic rituals being performed on the dead body. The ministry has advised to stay safe and stop going out alone till the perpetrator of the crime is found.

Daphne looked at the clipping and spoke to Harry "So the Weasleys are dealt with. Nice touch on the interview."
"Yeah but I wanted to speak about our trip to the past."
Susan chipped her thoughts in "Harry we have already discussed we will travel to 1970-71 during the start of the war and wait for 3-4 years before we defeat Voldemort and start taking over the ministry from behind the scenes. Then we will improve the society and bring Golden Age of Magic again."
"True but I have been thinking, we are immortal because of the philosopher's stone and being the master of death."
"Yeah Harry what will happen to the Hallows if we return to the past?" asked Daphne.
"If I am correct, there can only be 1 master of death. I cannot die until I give up my ownership of the Hallows. I will have to collect them again. The Hallows would have to be used in DoM for the trip past. We know where the Hallows are, so we can collect them easily. We can share the power amongst ourselves."
"Ok. You were saying about the timeline?" enquired Susan.
"Yeah I was planning on going to 1942-43. We will have 2 years to establish our base. I was planning on defeating Grindelwald. So taking Dumbledore's place in ICW and Wizengamot with the victory would be very easy. I don't want to kill Dumbledore unnecessarily. If we limit his power from the start he may not come in our way. Also I was planning to have our hold in important positions. I will take up ICW and Wizengamot, Daphne as Minister of Magic and Susan you as headmistress of Hogwarts plus Wizengamot."
Daphne and Susan thought about the merits of this. They wouldn't age because of Philsopher's stone, so 20-30 years of extra work for Golden Age didn't seem bad. The present society would take up lot of time even to change smallest of things. Also the magical population was severely affected because of the wars.
"Your ideas have some merits Harry, but why Hogwarts Harry other than to influence the students?" asked Susan.
"We have to improve the education levels at Hogwarts and also introduce mastery. One thing which you didn't consider is to open Hogwarts to other non Human species. I don't want any other magical institute to be present other than Hogwarts. We have to be subtle so we have to slowly make changes."
"What about the Old families Harry?" enquired Daphne.
"You take care of that Daph and Suzy. You are much more experience in subtleties of Politics. I will follow you like a good husband." Said Harry while chuckling. Daphne and Susan both swatted Harry on his arm.
"Enough of this. We will be the Peverells. The documents for our past have been fixed. Some bribes in the ministry, they can take care of everything. I have knowledge of how to plant the documents so that they don't get suspicious."
"Suzy,Daph – how did the trip to Gringotts go?"
"Harry we have collected the Galleons into one trunk and the artefacts into the other. Artefacts from each family vault have been placed into a compartment. We have completely emptied the Gryffindor, Slytherin, Peverell, Potter, Black and Lestrange vaults."
"Very well done. I have made 3 copies of each book and journal in the library. I have put a copy each into a trunk. They are separated into compartments based on the topic. I want 1 trunk in our new vault. 1 trunk we will have it our manor and 1 we will store it under Fidelius, we never know when we can acquire such fortune again. I have 1 more request. The 13 Galleon filled trunks should have equal amounts of Gold. We will open a vault for each. Based on my estimation we may require around 20 vaults in Gringotts."
The rest of the day was passed by gathering everything they required. They spent the night by making love in each of the rooms.
Next day they woke up and prepared for the trip to DoM. The artefact they required was special hour-glass having 'Sands of Time'. No one would want the simple hourglass except the ones who knew its value.
The Potters were welcomed by Algerion Croaker into the DoM. "Mr. Potter I would request you to join DoM. With your masteries you and your wives would make an excellent addition to the department. I heard you were friends with my Grand-Nephew Neville."
"Yes Mr. Croaker we were friends. In fact I considered him brother. And about the offer I would respectfully decline. Please contact me again after 1 year, I will think about it. Now I have loads of stuff to take care of. Now if you please lead us to the artefacts of my ancestors."
"Yes yes. Please follow me."
They were lead into a room with a side of it filled with Artefacts from Potter and Black family vaults. They didn't know about the other vaults that Potters and Blacks had. The Gringotts didn't tell them about it.
Susan took out a compartmentalized trunk from her pocket and unshrunk it. She then filled up the Potter and Black artefact compartments with their respective artefacts. Daphne took the hour-glass and kept it aside.
Harry turned towards Croaker and said "Mr. Croaker I found that DoM is very empty today. Why is that?"
"Today we don't work Mr. Potter. I personally came to hand over the artefacts to you. Also to coerce your family to join our department. Without my authorization you cannot enter the DoM especially this room. The security here has been improved since after your fifth year. "
"Mr. Croaker if it isn't too much trouble I would like to see the library of DoM. I heard it rivals even the Hogwarts library. It has many lost tomes, also some of lost works from Library of Alexandria."
"Mr. Potter I don't know where you got the information from but it is true. I would show it to your family but I must request you to not to touch any books or journals there."
The Potters were lead by Croaker into a hidden room behind the Prophecy Room. They were showed many sections and from where they collected the books from.
"Mr. Croaker this is incredible. For this I may join DoM." Croaker missed the gleam in Harry's eyes. Susan and Daphne didn't miss it. They knew their husband; he had become bookworm after the war.
"Mr. Croaker can I look at this book please?" asked Harry randomly pointing at a book.
"Alright Mr. Potter it is a simple book on warding from founder's era. Please be careful with it."
Susan distracted Croaker with some question while Harry tried the book copying spell that bypassed the copyright charm. It seem to have worked.
"Mr. Croaker thank you for your trouble. I am enticed by the knowledge present here. I would like to take this but I know you wouldn't allow it. So AVADA KEDAVRA!" intoned Harry. Croaker didn't even have a chance to dodge or take his wand out. Harry, Daphne and Susan then took all the books and placed their copies in other two library trunks. After finishing they left for the 'Veil Room'. Harry knew today the DoM would be free, so he planned it today. They could take their time and work in the circular room.
The Veil Room or The Death Chamber is the most mysterious room about which nothing much is known. In the past it was used a death sentence for the notorious criminals. In the past experiments have been conducted by Simon Fields on the veil. His hand accidentally touched the veil, so the part which touched the veil started withering till his whole hand was gone. The arch of the Veil was inscribed with runes from an unknown language. Actual fact about the Veil was that it was made by the Peverell brothers – it was made sure that one couldn't enter the Veil without the Hallows. The runes inscribed were actually old parsel runes. Salazar Slytherin was not the first parselmouth, it was the parents of the Peverell brothers. Only Cadmus inherited it from his parents. Slytherin were the descendents from the Cadmus and the Gryffindors from Ignotus. Gryffindors line was later merged into the Potters, who were from Egypt. The Potters unlike the name suggested were a family of high priests.
Without using the Hallows if one were to enter the Veil then the body would age so fastly that in matter of seconds even the bones will be dust. One thing true about the Veil was that it connected to the limbo where Dead and Living can communicate physically. It would be the same like which Harry reached when he was hit by AK during the battle of Hogwarts. One more thing in limbo was that the time had no consequence. The past, the present and the future had no effect in limbo.
If Harry entered the limbo and came back at the same time he could have his hallows back, but he is going to the past, so he would have to collect them again. The Hallows won't work against him because he is the master of death, the Hallows would recognize that anytime.
Harry found the hollows/indentations where he had to insert the elder wand and the resurrection stone. They were on either side of the arch. The arch actually looked like a thin layer of cloth rippling silently as if wind was blowing onto it. When the resurrection stone was inserted the rippling increased as if there was a storm nearby. On the other side a groove was opened for the elder wand to be inserted. The Groove was a hole centred with runes surrounding it, which read – Open, Gateway, Undead and many more.
Harry slowly inserted the wand into the groove. The runes surrounding it started lighting up and glowed silver in colour. The glowing runes started rotating at high speed with the groove as the centre. The wand was sucked into it such that only a small part of it was the runes stopped rotating and glowing.
Daphne and Susan were watching it with interest. This was once in a life time opportunity. As far as they knew this had never been done before nor will it after.
Harry held onto the wand and hissed password in parseltongue "Open the gateway. Allow me to enter Cadmus : The greatest of Peverell three."
Then a similar smaller arch opened inside the existing arch. It was different in colour compared to the normal. It looked Black like made of dead wood. Susan came forward and handed him his Cloak of Invisibility. Harry levitated the cloak wandlessly towards the new arch. When it was near the arch, it was lifted by automatically by magic of the veil. To an outsider it would look like the cloak was lifted by an invisible person. When the cloak touched the smaller dark arch, it got absorbed into it and the arch turned Golden colour from the black colour. This was the gateway to the limbo.
Harry entered the Golden colour arch followed by Daphne and Susan. The area which they entered felt like the shore near the Black Lake at Hogwarts. Harry took the Hourglass from Daphne. He cut his hand and smeared blood on both sides of the hourglass and said "As the Potter Lord I command you to change."
The hourglass slowly started morphing into a time turner but instead of one circle it had three. If the inner most was turned once, they could go back in time for 1 hour. If the middle one was turned once, they could go back in time for 1 month. And finally the outermost one allowed them to travel 1 year back in time. This had to be done in Limbo because in Limbo they existed as ethereal bodies and would turn back normal after they came out of it. Using the time turner to go back years would put immense strain on the body. Mostly likely their bodies would disintegrate after 1 turn of the outermost circle. The most they could go was 16 hours without killing themselves. Master of death or not they would be dead if used for more than 16 hours.
Harry, Susan and Daphne put the chain around their head and turned the outermost circle 57 times. They felt like sitting in a spaceship which travelled at the speed of light. After enduring this for god knows how long, it suddenly came to a stop. Harry, Daphne and Susan unable to maintain balance fell on the floor because they felt dizzy.
Daphne asked "Did we succeed Harry?"
"Only one way to find out. Come lets get out of here."
Harry and his wives came out of the Veil Chamber and Harry casted 'Tempus'. A small smoky sign came out of his Holly-Pheonix wand, which read:
"15:45 PM : 25/12/1941"
This is one of the toughest chapter, that I wrote. Hope you like it and description put up. I had to edit this 10 times before this draft. I wanted to use the Hallows and the Potter artefact. Please Review.
