History
At some point during her life before 1984, Evelyn Starling wrote this book and stored a copy in the Artefact Room for future students to find and learn from.[1]
During the 1984–1985 school year, the new Prefect in the house that Jacob's sibling was sorted into decided to teach the new first year how to handle themselves in a duel as means of self-defence, in light of how they were being frequently bullied and threatened by the fellow first year in Slytherin House, Merula Snyde. Having studied both various duelling techniques and strategies as well as contemporary history in it about notable accomplished duellists, this book was a great help for said student to become an accomplished duellist themselves.[2]
