| history: important events from february 1984 to now Julian Derrick breaks into Nurmengard Prison with the intent to smuggle Gellert Grindelwald out. Together with his wife, Sioned Derrick, they begin to discuss how to overthrow current Minister of Magic Tom Riddle and place Grindelwald in charge. Grindelwald reappears in secret within the walls of Durmstrang attempting to pick up where he left off and spending most of his time hidden in the library. Tom Riddle, outraged at the lack of cooperation within the Pan European Ministry imposes a law attempting to crack down on rebellion. He begins to arrest Death Eaters that have turned against him but the Ministry refuses to send any of the accused to trial. The Death Eaters are released within three days. Losing power quickly, Tom Riddle, retreats to Canon Island with a group of those Death Eaters he believes he can still trust, Rodolphus Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Black. Together the three of them begin to work on something to unify the Pan European Ministry while the Derricks and Grindelwald begin to start their attack. After a month of seclusion, Tom Riddle reappears with a plan to restore confidence within his Ministry. He releases the dementors into the streets of London, told to feed on anyone they wish. This brings about public outcry stating that Riddle has to go. The decree placed on May 10th outlaws any travel from England to Russia, thus cutting off the Eastern block of countries from the PEM. The Derricks see this as their chance and begin to install Grindelwald as Minister in Russia. On July 10th, Grindelwald takes control of all of the USSR and most parts of Eastern Europe. His control now stretches into Germany thanks to the Derricks whom were appointed Ambassadors to each of these countries by Tom Riddle. Riddle orders the first attack in Germany, falling in Berlin on July 20th. The clash between Death Eaters and Grindelwald's own personal army made up of alumni of Durmstrang and Death Eaters fed up with the way Voldemort has lost control fought for three days. The end coming when Grindelwald himself showed up on the battlefield and offered spaces on his side to the loyal Death Eaters, many ran from the wizard but there were a good amount that chose to join with Grindelwald. Content with his holdings for now, Grindelwald begins to build up in Germany keeping his forces patrolling the areas. He is praised for keeping order and peace within the countries he holds and soon the idea of impeaching Tom Riddle had started being whispered around the entire PEM. The Order of the Phoenix, worried about what might happen next and disapproving of the very idea of allowing Grindelwald to take control start campaigning to allow Alastor Moody to become the next Minister of Magic. The Wizengamot start building a case against Tom Riddle based on abuse of power while in office. While he is undergoing his trial, Assistant Minister Alfred Moon does what he can to control the beginnings of rebellion. Muggleborn and Half-blood wizards begin a march on the Ministry of Magic fed up with being treated worse than Purebloods. The rally lasts four days ending on September 21st with seemingly no solution from the Ministry of Magic to end the problem. On October 13th, Tom Riddle is convicted of abuse of power and treason against the magical world. He is arrested and taken straight to Azkaban and given a life sentence. Riddle is placed in a new wing within the prison and is given the highest security of any prisoner ever in the walls. Voting for the new Minister of Magic begins just twelve hours later with the names of Alastor Moody and Gellert Grindelwald on the ballot. Grindelwald wins by a landslide causing the Order to demand a recount and claiming that the election was false. The recount never happens. November 9th and 10th begin the reign of Gellert Grindelwald. Ignoring the tactics he used within the USSR, Grindelwald begins his reign with the murder of three hundred muggles between the hours of nine pm and six am. By the time the sun rose on the 10th, Grindelwald had taken control of the entire Pan European Ministry. On November 15th, Grindelwald dissolved the The Wizengamot and placed Assistant Ministers in each country he now controls. Giving the most loyal the best countries. These Assistant Ministers are charged with keeping the peace within their respective countries and given full control of the country as long as they stay within the rules set by Grindelwald. Grindelwald begins to set into place various laws making it illegal to house Muggleborns within the city limits of London, England. Allowing them to visit the city is left in, but the homes of Muggleborns begin to be destroyed. Many hide in the country but some stay behind, hidden in the homes of Half-bloods. Christmas day, Grindelwald announces that no student will be returning to Hogwarts and all Half-bloods and Purebloods are required to take a test to determine their new school. The choice between Durmstrang and Beauxbatons. Most purebloods end up in Durmstrang and it is clear that the school has become his own personal training ground for his army, the Black Caps. This new law also brings with it the elimination of magical teaching to muggleborns. Those left without a place to learn turn to underground teaching provided by the Order. Though, this is highly illegal and punishable by death. On the 20th of January, the largest change was pushed through the Ministry easily. The Decree for the Preservation of Magical Status issued a list of spells allowed to be performed by muggleborn wizards, These spells are highly limited, allowing muggleborns only to cast the most simple of charms. In order to control this, Grindelwald's Black Caps are given permission to seek out and stop muggleborns from illegally using magic. Given power to control this however they wish, the Black Caps soon become the most feared group in all of the Pan European Ministry. The Order of the Phoenix begin to hack into journal broadcasts with the help of Jay Blue, a former member of the Ashwinder Coalition a terrorist organization plaguing London over the last two years. Alastor Moody, along with Regulus Black soon broadcast coded messages through out all of the journals connected allowing for meeting times and rallies to be held in the safe parts of Europe. They begin to smuggle muggleborns out of England and into Finland slowly trying to make sure that they are doing what they can to protect the entire Order. Belgium and Finland also announce that they will not join the Pan European Ministry and build up forces to protect themselves from Grindelwald made up mostly of muggleborn wizards. Tom Riddle begins to send letters to those Death Eaters that are still loyal to him, attempting to see what control he still has while in prison. The loyal Death Eaters meet on Canon Island on the 3rd to discuss where they are going to go next. It is agreed that they must find a way to bring Riddle back into power but the idea will take time. If they are caught, the Death Eaters know they will end up in Azkaban along with their Dark Lord, but many believe it is the best choice as Grindelwald arrests the first of the Death Eaters on charges of treason. Sioned Derrick steps down as Assistant Minister handing over the position to her husband, Julian Derrick, whom then appoints Nathaniel Avery as his assistant. The Ministry of Magic then begins a registration of all citizens providing identification cards to all citizens and identification pins to all muggleborns. ID cards and pins are required to be worn at all times and the Black Caps are given the power to demand identification from anyone at anytime. A curfew of sorts is put into place, letting all citizens know that Black Cap patrols will become more intense after nine pm. Kelton Pinkstone gives an interview with the Times exposing all of the magical world to the muggle community causing quite a bit of backlash by all wizards. Barty Crouch Jr and Bellatrix Black break into the Ministry of Magic, aided by Gemma Yaxley and steal six Time Turners in an attempt to release Voldemort from prison, they escape easily and begin to plot how to best use their new toys. On Saturday, April 19th, a biological warfare attack was let lose in London, spreading a disease to all who happened to be within the city. Three members of the terrorist group were arrested, but no information was obtained from them. Five days later, members of both the muggle community and the wizarding community began to flood hospitals within London reporting various symptoms from the attack. This continues until the beginning of May with both muggles and wizards dying from this unknown disease. Thanks to a joint effort between Julian Derrick and Regulus Black, a cure is finally discovered to allow the wizarding community to recover from the illness. Though the Ministry of Magic refuses to allow the muggles to use the treatment and decides that it is the muggle world that has started this war. Days later, Regulus Black and a group of his friends break into Mungo's and steal the cure spending the night administering it to muggles within London. Soon, all of England recovers from this attack. By the 10th, ten people are sent notices to appear at the Ministry or be issued warrants for their arrests. The group is made up of various members of society that appear to be the typical suspects for terrorist attacks within the PEM. All appear at the Ministry except for James Potter and Regulus Black, whom both go on the run quickly after the deadline. Kelton Pinkstone ends up being arrested for his interview and sentenced to Azkaban while Gemma Yaxley is arrested and sent to Azkaban thanks to suspicious activities occurring within the Department of Mysteries. She is released three days later. Mysterious deaths start occurring within Parliament with the suspects all being wizards. Though the evidence seems to point to muggle causes of death, the Ministry of Magic is sent to investigate each murder. Kelton Pinkstone is released from Azkaban and announces that he still feels what he did was right. The Weird Sisters, Parasiiti and Umlauti announce a world tour starting by the middle of June during the middle of what appears to be a large attack on the muggle community by the wizarding world. Deaths within Parliament are happening weekly with the Auror department having to work overtime simply to keep up. The Ministry starts a hiring program to call back all members of the MLE that were fired over the last year to help handle the deaths. A large party is held within Exeter hosted by an unknown man simply calling himself Gatsby, it goes off without an attack or a single death. After yet another attack in London on wizards, the Ministry of Magic issues a decree calling for an evacuation by halfbloods from London. There is no definite time for return for the wizards forced to leave but the Ministry promises that once this serial killer is caught they will be allowed back in. On July 4th, Minister Grindelwald allows his own army, the Black Caps, to fight against the constant murders against his own people. Over the next week, London exploded into riots and fights resulting in the destruction of nearly half of the city. Fighting eventually died down four days later. During this time the Death Eaters were able to break into the unguarded Ministry of Magic and destroy their own files, in the hopes that they could once again be free. Weeks later, the Ministry of Magic finally releases a statement asking for help in identifying how the riots had begun and claiming that there was no truth behind the rumours that the muggle Ministry was passing a law to remove all magical citizens from England. Also, the Ministry allows for the halfbloods, whom were removed from London during the attacks, to return home. On August 3rd, an arrest warrant for Bellatrix Black went into effect and hours later she was captured by the Ministry of Magic and sent directly to Azkaban. Scotland finally wins out over Argentina in a two day long Quidditch World Cup hosted by Bolivia. The Ministry of Magic takes a week off to handle the annual school inspections by Minister Grindelwald. Muggles begin to wander into the magical world after the International Statute of Secrecy was broken and while both the muggle Ministry and the wizarding Ministry work on creating a better law, wizards are reminded of the basic rules of magic and requested not to help or harm the muggle intruders. Various public service announcements are televised on muggle television with wizards talking about their world, thus making the separation between both worlds even more difficult. Bolivia experiences a freak drought starting the day after the Quidditch World Cup while Tropical Storm Fabian starts making its way around the Americas. Meghan McCormack is awarded the Most Valuable Player award for the World Cup while Alasdair Maddock takes home the "Dangerous" Dai Llewellyn Commemorative Medal. |
