Evan continued to occasionally get glimpses of Voldemort's activities while he trained Haragei - since the attack on the Queen and the attempted IRA bombing, all the attacks had been against the magical world. Evan did send warnings to Madam Bones, incognito (by removing his magical signature using that stone Dobby got him early on), but he was worried she would make the connection at some point. The Prophet and the MOM would never acknowledge the attacks were by Voldemort or the Death Eaters – they were "just random occurrences", as the paper called them.
June 17, 1996. 03:30 (3:30am), Bosnia – Royal Marine compound. Evan woke with a disturbingly strong sense of anticipation. It looked to be one of those days where Voldemort was determined to bother him. He pictured Hermione's and his first kiss at the Queen's residence back in February. It filled him with such joy and fascination, pushing the thoughts of Voldemort from his mind. He then followed his early-morning wakeup call by doing his morning training: Haragei, Kuji-Kiri, martial arts and wandless magic – all at the same time. (Evan had found that the more he multi-tasked like this the easier it was to perform all the different types of training.) During the Haragei/Kuji-Kiri, he found himself seeing visions of Voldemort: it seems he was planning to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic to find some prophesy. He apparently planned for some mayhem in the process. By 05:30, Evan "rose" from his final meditation to the tunes of the song Three Lions by Baddiel & Skinner and the Lightning Seeds – his bunkmates were up. He had been sent to Bosnia for "peacekeeping mission" as part of the Rapid Reaction Force as his first tour. The mandate for British forces in Bosnia ended in the coming December, a mere six months away. Today was Monday – the first day of OWLs at Hogwarts. School…..such a far-away concept for him at this moment. Thinking of Hogwarts made him remember his earlier vision. Evan thought hard about how he could notify Madam Bones without compromising his identity, but had no solution.
June 17, 1996, 10:00pm, Ministry of Magic. Voldemort, Rookwood, Selwyn, Avery, Nott, MacNair and Gibbon entered the Ministry of Magic through the Transportation Floo. Rookwood, a former Unspeakable, had a pass code to use the floo for emergency purposes. It was after hours, so the corridors were empty except for the security guard. Voldemort, without pausing in his walk down the corridor, casually fired off an Aveda Kedavera at the inattentive guard, hitting him in the chest. They continued on to the elevators, and then took one down to the 7th level – the Department of Mysteries. As they exited the elevators, Rookwood spotted something off and immediately shot a cutting spell in its direction. There was no apparent affect, so they continued on to the Department of Mysteries. A few seconds later, unbeknownst to Voldemort and his group, first one drop of blood and then another appeared on the floor. A Patronous appeared out of nowhere and disappeared. Sturgeous Podmore leaned against the wall, a pool of blood now accumulated at his feet. He sat on the floor and slowly closed his eyes for the last time.
June 17, 1996, 10:05pm, Grimmauld Place. A rabbit patronous appeared in front of Dumbledore saying "Voldemort's here…", before fading and disappearing. He quickly rose and called out "Sirius, Remus! We have to get to the Department of Mysteries, NOW!" he cried out.

June 18, 1996. 08:00am, Bosnia. Dobby tugged at Evan's leg pants, and handed him a copy of The Prophet. Dobby's ears were drooping. "Hey Dobby" Evan whispered. "Why are you sad?" "Master Evan must read the paper" he said sadly. Evan looked at the paper apprehensively. "OK, Dobby. Thanks for bringing this to me." He sat down and quickly browsed the paper – Voldemort Attacks MOM - Voldemort had invaded the MOM. Dumbledore and several people, including Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Arthur Weasley, Mad-Eye Moody, Emmaline Vance and Nymphadora Tonks opposed them at the Ministry. Sturgeous Podmore was killed while on guard duty. Minister Fudge arrived at the MOM while Voldemort and Dumbledore were battling in the Atrium. Another article - Sirius Black, killed Opposing Death Eaters; another Sirius Black Innocent of betraying the Potters! Another article – Minister Fudge, Fudged! Fudge railroaded Harry Potter, had his magic bound and obliviated because Fudge didn't want the knowledge of Voldemort's rise to get out. Another article – Harry Potter, the Chosen One, Lost -the prophecy stated that only Harry Potter could defeat Voldemort. The Prophet called for the MOM to find Harry Potter. Evan was in shock. It was a good thing he was sitting down as he started hyperventilating. Light bulbs started to hiss and pop.
