Private message to Harry and Blaise

Do you reckon that Professor Dolohov's and Razzer's demonstration will be a true duel where one of them will be declared the winner?

Because if so, it might be the sort of thing worth placing a gentleman's bet on. I can think of a number of others who'd be interested, as well.

But I don't want to be the one who organises the whole thing. Too bad Avery's gone, he'd be perfect. What about Montague? I'd peg him for game. Or might it be a venture that you're interested in, Blaise?

Not sure. I don't think they'll have a referee. It might just be one of those last one standing sorts of things. Maybe until one yields?

Anyways, I'm sure it'll be brilliant. And that both of them are well matched. I mean, Dolohov is more experienced and taught Raz a lot, but he's got a recent injury, and Raz has had a few years to pick up some extra tricks.

Montague might be up for it, yeah.

Yield, I think. They're both close enough mates that they don't really want to see each other hurt, I reckon.

I think they know it would be dull and over too quickly if they weren't well matched, which makes it hard to know who to bet on. I feel like they're both the sort of people who want to come across as less dangerous and skillful than they really are, which makes it even harder. Still, I'm guessing more people will bet on Raz because they've known him better and longer.
