The Dark Wizard, Gellert Grindelwald, the most powerful wizard alive, has taken over the wizard and muggle world. For the Greater Good. That's the phrase he used to attain so many followers. He's cold, cruel, merciless. You're significantly younger than him, just having turned 23. Your family is poor, and you live in a rural area. Your mother is a pureblood but your father is a muggle, which means the world, his world, now treats you like trash, or parasites. You watch the news one evening, to see that Grindelwald himself makes an announcement: he will look for a wife. A witch to stand by his side. Every woman between the ages of 21 to 40 (his age) will have to sign up, and 20 women will be chosen at random to go to the palace and participate in the courting tradition, which will be broadcast to the public with one episode per week. At the end Grindelwald will choose one of those as his. You sign up of course, not having a choice anyways. A week later, you watch the news again with your family, watching as the twenty randomly chosen women are announced. With every name that isn't yours, you sigh in relief, as does your family. But then the last name gets called out, and it's yours. Time seems to stand still as both you and your family freezes in horror.
