[HeadCanon/OC/post-Hogwarts] Book 2: After Gerald Davis resurfaces, it is decided on by the Minister for Magic and the majority of his affiliates that pursuit of the dark wizard has brought about more harm than good. Questionably, the wizard was merely untrained in magical law, having been forced to live a muggle life in his native country.
On a test of good faith, Gerald is allowed to continue in his freedom, with the expectation that he follow the Ministry's law even when threatened. It at first appears that the retired necromancer is in sincere agreement with these terms. However, when MACUSA hears of the Ministry's proposal, they are not impressed and call for the American criminal to be returned to them to face their good judgment.

[I own only my OCs and the plot of this story. Everything else is the property of J.K. Rowling and affiliates.]
It's not necessary, but highly recommended that book one be read first. The story will still (mostly) make sense if you read out of order, but just as reading the original Harry Potter series, it comes out best if read in its intended sequence. I don't do a lot of recaps if any as I'd rather spend the time giving new details and not rehashing the same ones.
Also, if you'd like to hear these stories as well as the events leading up to them from Gerald's point of view, go check out 'Misadventures of a Dark Wizard' which will be written alongside this series. 'Misadventures' will never be updated past what has happened in the original series. That way, those who are following along with both stories as I update them will not read events in Gerald's point-of-view before seeing them in third person, focused on Harry.
I also recommend that if you plan on reading both the 'Secrets of Grindelwald' series and 'Misadventures of a Dark Wizard,' that you start with reading all published 'Secrets' parts before heading over to 'Misadventures.' The reason being that 'Secrets' leaves a lot of Gerald a mystery and 'Misadventures' will reveal his true thoughts, intentions, and experiences.
Thank you for your time!
