8th February, 1895 — The Great Hall, Hogwarts

Tybalt had made a point of looking in on Hogwarts' duelling tournament today, just for the final few rounds – both to see any exciting calibre of student duelling, and to make sure the results were... fair and unbiased. (You never knew, with – certain people involved.)

So he reminded the boys of the rules, briefly, before he signalled to Mr. Potter to let his first spell fly.

Charlie couldn’t believe he’d made it this far. Potter was the last person who stood between him and the finals. He nodded his own head at his opponent before casting, “spongify!” Hopefully Potter’s wand would become springy and bend unpredictably.
