17 févr. 1932 - The Walk of the Qilin.

Description:

Due to the "dark whispers" surrounding his motives, Vogel announced that the usual election process would be waived in favour of the ancient and once time-honoured tradition of selecting the Supreme Mugwump by way of the walk of the Qilin in order to dispel any doubt of who the worthy candidate was; a decision made under Grindelwald's orders in order for him to become Vogel's successor through underhanded fraudulence.

Grindelwald tried to cheat the ceremony by controlling a reanimated Qilin he had killed days earlier and revived the beast using Necromancy. It bowed to him and after being elected, standing with Liu Tao and Vicência Santos, Gellert Grindelwald he then tortured Jacob Kowalski with the Cruciatus Curse as punishment for falling in love with Queenie Goldstein, a witch and seconds later he declared that his war on the non-magic world started that day, Credence Barebone soon arrived and exposed Grindelwald for cheating.

Without knowing what Albus exactly told Newt, Bunty Broadacre securely delivered the second Qilin to Newt, quoting what she had said before, that no one can know everything and Dumbledore's scheme worked showing that Bunty had the case with the Qilin the whole time, with no one except Albus knowing. The ceremony went on and the second Qilin truthfully selected the next leader. While Vogel claimed the first Qilin was the real one, it died again in his arms. The second Qilin was then recognised as the real one. Despite not being a candidate, it bowed to Albus Dumbledore who declined to accept the position. It then selected a second candidate, Vicência Santos. Grindelwald then tried to kill Credence in anger, causing Albus and Aberforth Dumbledore to intervene.

As a result, the blood pact between Dumbledore and Grindelwald was broken, later suggested by Dumbledore to be because he cast to protect while Grindelwald cast to kill. Instantly, the two wizards duelled, ending in a stalemate. With everyone gathered turning on him, Grindelwald declared that he hadn't been and still wasn't their enemy, before jumping off a ledge outside the Eyrie and Disapparating.
