    Summary

    I find it hard to believe the Wizarding World successfully stayed hidden with the utter incompetence of wizards at blending in.
    I find it hard to believe power maintained chiefly by keeping secrets would not become unbalanced and exposed.

    I therefore present for your perusal some unconnected ideas on what-might-have-beens.

    Summary

    'Mala fides': bad faith, purpose to deceive or defraud
    - Merriam Webster dictionary

    For Harry Potter, the man-who-lived-twice, savior of the Wizarding World, and the ultimate golden boy, life was good. He had survived the war, had a job he loved, a good home, and wonderful friends; the future seemed bright.
    But when he's asked to assist on a case involving Unspeakables, what he discovers deep in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries turns his world upside down.

    Betrayed and heartbroken, Harry does what he knows best; he jumps into the unknown like the good, little Gryffindor he is.
