jan 12, 1932 - Grindelwald's attempt at Supreme Mugwump.

Description:

As Supreme Mugwump Anton Vogel's term came to an end in 1932, an election was called to replace him. Grindelwald wanted to campaign for the position, running against the likes of Liu Tao and Vicência Santos. During elections, Qilin, a Chinese creature, was bowing to the future Mugwump. Grindelwald ordered his acolytes: Credence Barebone, Vinda Rosier and Carrow to get a Qilin in China. By then, Grindelwald had appeared on a wanted poster for "serious and vicious crimes against the wizarding world".

As the election date approached, and fears began to grow that Grindelwald might attempt to contest the election motivated by his energetic base, the International Confederation of Wizards was due to conclude its investigation into Grindelwald's activities, and announce what new charges would be brought against him. Vogel would announce the results at a gathering at the German Ministry of Magic in Berlin. Both candidates, and their followers, travelled to the Ministry for the announcement. To the horror, disgust, and disbelief of most wizards present in the gathering, Grindelwald was absolved due to insufficient evidence existing to prosecute him
