Opinion Piece: Should Animagi be Allowed to Duel?
Though not many proper ladies take too much stock in that of duelling and the like, it may have come to the attention of several readers that two known animagi have recently used their abilities for the sake of advancing in their duels. It begs the question as to whether or not an animagus should have any right participating in a duel with such an advantage.

Miss Sweetie Whitledge

Miss Sweetie Whitledge is a recently registered animagus, while still under the care and guidance of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A fine accomplishment for one so young, to be sure. However, Miss Whitldge had taken advantage of this gift for a tournament meant for displaying manners of spells and jinxes. One would not cast an unrelated jinx at a potion brewing competition, we presume?

Miss Bellona Zabini

While our first lady mentioned was a young, impressionable young lady, our next mention is a more experienced woman of society. Miss Bellona Zabini is a fellow animagus who had entered the adult portion of the competion. Coincidentally, she too used her abilites to evade an opponents spell. While a display of magic, to be sure, is it appropriate? Miss Zabini is more experienced in the ways of young Miss Whitledge, surely she should understand to practice these sorts of activities with more grace.

Our readers may catch on that the only examples that we have been able to offer is that of two young women of society. Is this an example that animagi are crossing a line that they should be more respectful towards? Or does it run deeper? Have women finally shown that they are too emotional to handle a duel with proper etiquette? This remains to be seen.
