Lysander's duel partner? From a narrative standpoint, it has to be Rolf. They're cousins, raised with the same magical ethos and practically family. That shared history in the Scamander menagerie creates an unspoken rhythm in combat. They'd have a shorthand for defensive creature-based spells or environmental manipulation that an outside ally, even a brilliant one like Lorcan, wouldn't inherently grasp. Rolf understands the cost of a non-lethal takedown instinctively, which is core to Lysander's character.

That said, in a raw, high-stakes duel against a truly dark wizard, I could see Lorcan Scamander being the more effective shield. His experience is broader and grittier. But for the kind of duels Lysander is likely to face—protecting creatures, de-escalating conflicts—Rolf is the ally who matches his wavelength perfectly. Their teamwork would be less about overpowering and more about clever containment.

Lorcan. No contest. Who else would he trust at his back in a real fight? His father fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and raised him. That practical, battle-tested knowledge of defensive magic and dueling strategy would be passed down. Lysander might be the gentle magizoologist, but Lorcan knows when to drop the textbook and end a threat. That combination makes them unstoppable. Plus, father-son duo in a duel? That's a bond no cousin or friend could replicate.

Honestly, I waffle on this. The text gives us so little direct action with Lysander. Based on lineage, you'd think Lorcan, given he's literally a war hero and his dad. But I have a gut feeling it's actually someone from his Hogwarts year, maybe a Hufflepuff he partnered with constantly in DADA. Someone who gets his slightly academic, observational approach to magic, rather than a blunt-force duelist.

It's fun to speculate, but without a canon duel scene, it's all guesswork. JKR left that generation wonderfully open. My headcanon has him being surprisingly self-reliant in a fight, using magical creatures as unexpected allies rather than a human partner. A graphorn charge can be a pretty effective 'spell' interruption.
