Gilderoy Grindelwald
Gilderoy was not just another blond idiot. After all, Obliviate is a most
useful spell.
The story begins with Gilderoy's grandfather, a young man named Gellert.
Gellert had grand ambitions to change the wizarding world, to bring it forward
from the dark ages and into the beauty of the Renaissance. Unfortunately for him
he chose a poor partner in his dream, a partner who first seduced Gellert, then
betrayed him.
Once Gellert was free from his one time friends control he was filled with
rage, and attempted to destroy any part of the wizarding world he could not
control. Alas, we know that his attempts failed rather miserably, with Gellert
rotting in jail.
What is not widely known was that he fathered a son named Garan, who understood
his fathers grand goal, and tried to quietly lead like-minded wizards and
witches towards progress. Unfortunately for Garan he made several powerful
enemies, including the man who defeated his father.
As his life became increasingly difficult he was forced to flee, and hide in an
a small German village. While in this village he met a women, and as things go,
he himself had a son. He named his son, Gilderoy.
Now, the important thing to realize was that Garan had never given up his dream
to change the wizarding world, even if he had hidden himself in fear of his
life. As his son grew older and more inquisitive Garan was forced to tell
Gilderoy about his enforced isolation from the wizarding-world. Gilderoy was
troubled by the fact that, after 50 years, his father was still remembered by
many powerful enemies.
Since Garan was frightened, he tended to keep himself close to home and always
limited Gilderoys friends to the smallest possible amount he could. As Gilderoy
aged he never wished for the latest model of racing broom, or tickets to the
world cup; No, he wished for simpler things. Gilderoy always wished that nobody
would remember his father, and that he would have a chance to have as many
friends as he could possibly make.
AN: Just an idea I had floating around in my head. Any opinions would be appreciated.
