The Rise And Fall Of The Dark Arts
The Dark side has returned to power and lost power so much that one looses track of exactly how many times, or when exactly this has happened. However it is known that the most powerful dark wizard was named Voldemort. Voldemort, a young boy, went to the magic school called Hogwarts, here he studied hard, becoming one of the most brilliant students Hogwarts had ever seen. Once he graduated Hogwarts he began to travel the world, it was at this time that he went through many magical transformations and when he came back from his travels he was the most powerful dark wizard in the universe. For 10 years he killed witches and wizards of all sorts. On October 31 he met his match. Young Harry Potter got the better of him. Voldemort used a curse on Harry that killed his parents. destroyed the house they lived in but it didnt kill Harry. It was this night that voldemort lost all of his powers and the good side was back in full power.
This was not the first time something like this has happened. Another evil wizard name Grindelwald once existed. He tried to gain power and got it but wasn't ever as strong as Lord Voldemort. However, he was a threat to magical society and Albus Dumbledore set out to defeat Grindelwald. Albus Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard of all time, did defeat him and Grindelwald was dead. This earned Dumbledore his Supreme Mugwump title.
