It was a rather busy day in the Department of Mysteries, Unspeakables drifted from chamber to chamber, all doing various forms of research or experiments.

Three figures stood in one such chamber, all surrounding an odd-looking device on a table, these three were searching for ways to explore other planets, without the need for muggle spacecraft.

They had been looking into this for many, many years, dating back to the 1800s, where the first known attempt was created, resulting in what is now known as the veil of death.

Other documented attempts included the Floo travel, Portkeys, and even Apparition, all of which failed their intended purpose.

One of the figures stepped up to the device, this person was Lily Potter, or Agent Potter, a young and extremely talented young woman, who had joined the ranks of the Unspeakables right out of Hogwarts.

She placed her hands on either side of the device, channelling her magic into it, she was to concentrate on finding a planet, one with life on it that they could either make contact with or perhaps pass through and explore.

As her concentration was kept by the device, the two other Agents worked to keep the device steady.

One of the other two Agents was a man in his mid-thirties, known as Agent Fortescue, his eyes grew wide as silver tendrils grew and span in a rapid dance.

"It's working!" he called, over the wind created from the energy.

The two snapped some bars up from the side of the device and the silver light grew around them, creating a gap.

They peered into the gap, before quickly averting their eyes as the light grew too strong to look at.

As the light grew, the two heard screaming, followed by a loud bang which threw all three of them off their feet and back into the walls.

"Is everyone alright?" Agent Potter questioned, once she'd pulled herself together.

"Yeah."

"Yes, Potter, I'm alright."

"Good, now, I don't think the calibration was exactly corr-" her words were cut off as the three of them heard something which sounded suspiciously like a baby's cry from where the device was.

Agent Fortescue hesitantly walked over and froze at the sight.

Thereupon the device lay what appeared to be a baby boy with black hair and green eyes.

"Shit."
