Poster for the All-England Wizard Duelling Competition

"Wizet, come to my office."

Over the weekend, when Wizet was passing by Filius Flitwick's office, Filius Flitwick called him over.

Wizet pushed open the door and entered. "Good morning, Professor Flitwick!"

"Good morning!" Filius Flitwick smiled and nodded, pushing an opened envelope aside.

He stretched out his left hand, as if to lift it up, and presented a roll of parchment to Wizet. "Take a look at this!"

Wizet caught the parchment with both hands, and as he slowly unfurled it, a spark appeared, floating in the air and burning quietly.

He pulled the parchment down, and the burning sparks spread, forming a long string of cursive characters: All-England Wizard Duelling Competition.

This font, resembling a burning line of fire, is a type of magic called "Marking Charm," which creates a striking visual effect.

Fred and George had previously used this magic to attract their classmates' attention when they advertised and promoted their Magical Fireworks.

Wizet also had some recollection of this "All-England Wizard Duelling Competition";

He remembered that the day before the Duelling Club event was also the eve of the Christmas holidays;

When my roommates were talking about the Duelling Club, Anthony Goldstein mentioned it once, and it was Wizet who spoke up and said the full name of the tournament.

According to relevant records of History of Magic, the "All-England Wizard Duelling Competition" was originally just a dueling Triwizard Tournament held in England;

However, as history changed, the Triwizard Tournament also changed, gradually becoming a dueling event for wizards in the British Isles, hence the name "All-England Wizard Duelling Competition".

Even in the later development process, wizards from other magical worlds in Europe would become interested in the "All-England Wizard Duelling Competition" and come to participate.

Wizet continued to pull the parchment down, the fire burning out and being reprinted onto the parchment, the words "All-England Wizard Duelling Competition" turning a Black Ash color.

Below the text is a series of wizard silhouettes, each a different color, all wearing pointed hats and wizard robes, pointing their wands at each other with the tips of the wands flashing with various colors.

All these silhouettes are contained within a trophy, inside which is written:

The defeated become embers of war, while the victors are rekindled, marching towards the glory of the strongest duelist!

Who can participate? There are no age restrictions. As long as you pass the initial screening, the All-England Wizard Duelling Competition welcomes all wizards!

[Initial screening and assessment registration date: October 31, 1993.]

[Initial screening deadline: November 30, 1993.]

[Registration Location: Federot – Ruined Castle of Aindale – Duellist Statue.]

Below the trophy is a slightly wobbly egg, which emits a faint glow and has no further details, making it look very mysterious.

The egg and trophy were surrounded by Gold Galleon, written in an extremely flamboyant style, indicating the prize money for the competition: two thousand Gold Galleon.

Below the trophy, egg, and Gold Galleon, there is a small map, which is clearly a map of Federot's region;

In the lower right corner of the map, there is a gray wax coating with a trophy symbol, which should indicate the location of the registration point.

"How about it?" Filius Flitwick asked with a smile. "Interested in this? I remember last school year you mentioned wanting to experience the atmosphere of a dueling tournament."

"As a former Duelling Champion, the organizers of the ' All-England Wizard Duelling Competition ' sent me this promotional poster as usual... I was just thinking of going to find you!"

In fact, it was Wizet's performance in North America during the summer that led Filius Flitwick to make this decision.

"Professor Flitwick, of course I'm very interested in the ' All-England Wizard Duelling Competition '," Wizet nodded quickly, "But I still have a question..."

"Is its competition time fixed... or completely random? After all, I'm still a student... Although I really want to participate, I can't put the cart before the horse."

"Of course!" Filius Flitwick smiled with satisfaction. "Putting the cart before the horse is not a good thing, but you can rest assured about the schedule!"

"In the earliest days of the ' All-England Wizard Duelling Competition,' the schedule was indeed not very fixed. However, as more and more wizards signed up, the rules of the tournament became more and more complete."

"Normally, the ' All-England Wizard Duelling Competition ' is held on weekends... As a previous Duelling Champion, I do have some privileges..."

"If you're really interested, I can help coordinate and choose a suitable time for you. Of course, that's all I can do."

"Professor Flitwick, of course I understand!" Wizet nodded quickly and said, "Since it is a dueling Triwizard Tournament, the most important thing is of course the duelists themselves."

"Very good!" Filius Flitwick's smile widened. "So, it seems you've made your decision?"

"Professor Flitwick, I want to participate in this ' All-England Wizard Duelling Competition '!" Wizet said. "I would love to participate in such a grand event and also want to exchange ideas with more wizards."

"Very good!" Filius Flitwick nodded and pointed to the parchment. "See that sealing wax with the trophy mark? It's actually a special Portkey."

"When the registration time arrives, this sealing wax will turn red, which means it is ready to use. You just need to press this sealing wax to get to the registration location."

"However, under normal circumstances, the Portkey will not work around Hogwarts Castle, so you have to go to Hogsmeade to use this special Portkey."

"If you decide on a time to register, you can tell me the time, and I can write a letter to arrange a carriage for you to go to Hogsmeade."

"Professor Flitwick, this is really too much trouble for you!" Wizet said quickly. "I can go to Hogsmeade myself!"

"Regarding the registration time..." Wizet for a moment and said, "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, I should go to register on October 31st."

"What an unexpected turn of events!" Filius Flitwick exclaimed. "It has been true in recent years...something always seems to happen on Halloween Eve."

"And it will be during the Halloween Feast ..." Wizet agreed, "I plan to register after the banquet so as not to waste time."

"Professor Flitwick, what does the 'initial screening assessment' typically focus on? It shouldn't take much time, right?"

"That's not necessarily true..." Filius Flitwick murmured. "Usually they are some fairly standard tests. I think back then it was... a mud monster?"

"There are many ways to deal with them. You can use Fire-Making Spell to dry them out, or you can use Water-Making Spell to wash them all away. I used both spells..."
