"I was summoned to duel him -- nobody else was up for the task, if you will excuse my speaking bluntly -- and thanks to luck and a skill that was slightly greater than his, I was able to bring him down. Still, the damage could not be wholly undone, as you well can imagine -- the chaos was too great. It took decades to re-establish balance in most of the countries who'd been involved. If we are lucky, we may still be able to restore Britain from the damage inflicted upon her by Voldemort, but the scars Grindelwald left will never truly fade."
