October 31st, 1891 — Padmore Park
Dueling Tournament

Now this, Fitzory thought as he looked from Selwyn to Lupin, ought to be a show.

While neither wizard was still 'in the field', as it were, both had worked as aurors—and both, more importantly, had made quite the name for themselves as skilled duelists. This would not be the tedious match between that Gobstones lad and the woman(?!) from the Department of Mysteries. This would be fun.

With a dash of pomp, Fitz reviewed the rules, looking from Lupin back to Selwyn. Taking a step back just to be safe, the wizard announced, "Mr. Lupin, you may begin!"

Lionel smiled as he greeted both referee and his opponent. Both very handsome men so Lionels eyes were getting a treat, at least. Hopefully that would not be his only positive outcome of having signed up for the tournament. As he was bid to begin, he cast a spell that would turn Selwyn into a living statue (aka stone but Lionel's feeling poetic). The mans looks felt rather fitting for a statue.

If anyone was going to give him a run for his money, Lupin ought to be able to do it. That said, Trystan had strolled up with an easy aura of confidence, the very prospect of a duel still a far more lighthearted affair than anything either of them had ever experienced in the field, no doubt.

Hoping his reflexes were still quick enough to manage it before the spell hit, Trystan attempted to transform the incoming jet of light into a frozen stream of ice mid-flow from his opponent's wand.

An ice javelin was an interesting, but risky, move. If the momentum of the spell was too strong, it would be not a spell that hit Selwyn but a sharp and possibly lethal object and he would have no one to blame but himself.

Fitz Prewett, however, knew nothing of physics outside of the quidditch pitch, and so witnessed only an entertaining bit of magic before declaring Selwyn the winner of the first pass.

"Mr. Selwyn, when you're ready!"

Grinning at the result, Trystan went for an old staple this time, Incarcerous.

Lionel cast a spell that would hopefully have the ropes turning against their very own caster.

Once again, Selwyn was victorious; once Lupin had been put to rights, Fitz declared Selwyn the winner.
