Well well surprised nobody could crack it as it was really simple...!

Answer: TIME-TURNER.

Its DAMN simple guys... i tried not to make it too tough else the charm would have been lost...
i feel i've give too many clues..nevertheless...here-- 😊



I entered Hogwarts for a productive cause,
Time turner entered Hogwarts to help hermione, the brightest witch, to help her manage time for various subjects.

having to screen through a dozen laws.
Prof McG had to write lot of letters to the Ministry for approval.

I'm the only one of my kind to ever into school,
well, it was the only TT that stepped into school...though the brightest witch Hermy assumed that it entered sometime back too in rarest of rare cases, but JKR expressly mentions it on Pottermore to have entered only once.

we are governed by not one but many a rule.
its strictly governed by stringiest rules by the Ministry.

I served my purpose more than you can imagine,
it entered to help Hermione academically, but in the end it was used to saved two lives..Sirius' life and Buckbeak's life(PoA).

but we were killed in a maddening action.
All the TTs got smashed and destroyed in the mayhem in the Dept of Mysteries(OoP)

We dwelled in the most complex den,
All TTs are kept in the Dept. of Mysteries..one of the most complex places at the Ministry.

we are not someone to visit now n then.
No one visits them to say a "hello"! lolz entry is heavily restricted. Nor do TTs visit anyone...!

Joe made us history forever in stages,
her honest confession in none of the pages.
well here..TT is always one of the drawbacks of HP books...Joe herself has never been able to total all the debatable points. She finally admitted/"confessed" this on elusive content on pottermore and pulled damage control in full gear through a thoughtful process. Plus.."none of the pages" meaning she didn't confess it in books rather on Pottermore. PFA screenshot below.

We ran into extinction years after first battle,
All TTs were smashed and destroyed in the fight at DoM(after 1st battle but before 2nd battle). First battle is the first wizarding battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Second battle is between Harry and Voldemort. The lines- they were destroyed "years after" 1st battle was simply a trick and trap.

that fateful day of clutter and rattle.
The noises of their assassination day.

I'm neither a potion nor a spell,
nor am i something to taste or smell!
I'm neither a wizard nor a squib,
shoot the answer and don't you crib!
all self explanatary

Further Clues-
I'm neither a perfume nor a lotion,
rather something that sets you in motion!
Yes it sets you in reverse motion to be precise...takes u back in time!

@Priya They fell down during The Battle at Department of Mysteries and went into a sort of loop, and are now useless. Hence, extinction.

But I'm still not sure about Jo's confession...

Ok...got it... read the explanation...
