At any given time, there are a dozen projects in the Department of Mysteries that could destroy an entire world. One such project, headed by young researcher Hermione Granger, was nearing completion of Phase One. It dealt with a magical artifact known as The Veil, assumed to be the doorway between life and death. The truth was much more complicated than that, as Hermione and her team had discovered. Not only did the Veil mark a doorway between the living and the dead, it also acted as the gateway to other realities. Hermione was on the cusp of discovering why the Veil worked that way, when a spell gone wrong blasted through the Department, and sent Hermione sailing through the Veil.

When she woke up, she realized immediately that something was wrong. This world was not her own. It was a quick realization, because staring down at her, perfectly alive (if bald), is Albus Dumbledore.
