March 6th, 1891 — Hogsmeade Memorial Ballroom, Hogsmeade
If it hadn't been for the Minister himself taking part Charles would have flatly refused. It was literally the last kind of dueling tournament he'd ever want to moderate. The ladies weren't even compelled to use decorative spells, the whole thing was a platform for female on female violence which was abhorrent in the extreme! Also he'd much rather have taken a place in the audience to watch Miss Lestrange take part which would likely be an even mixture of both pleasure and torment for him. Miss Lestrange's participation in dueling tournaments was possibly the closest he had to a criticism of her and even that he somewhat forgave because her conduct otherwise was so immaculate.
Hopefully he'd get to see her duel.
For now, however, he was stuck with two women of minor consequence and had no real investment in the duel at all. If he was pushed to bias he supposed Miss Baker was the more familiar of the two but he had no respect for female lawyers so it wasn't saying much. He more or less raced through all the introductory points and the niceties. "Please begin when you're ready, Miss Baker."
