Because even if you managed to wheedle your way in there, Ne'os wouldn't make it within 200 feet of the castle. And once he got there you can be certain that Sandra, or at least Vincent, would have every teacher and 7th year in the entire school on top of him within a few minutes of stepping inside the school grounds. Especially if you two are having a public duel. We can't risk the minister of magic dieing, so you would inevitably be pushed out of the fight, and Ne'os would be crushed by sheer numbers.
Not only that, but Sandra would see this as the perfect.......Oh. Hm. Actually, that makes perfect sense.
Yes. Have the duel at Hogwarts. Sandra would see this as the perfect opportunity to get rid of one of her major enemies. She can have Majere invite Matt to check up on the school, lure Ne'os in with something he wants...and kablooie. Of course, she'lll be hoping Ne'os wins so she can take the kill shot on a major criminal, and look good for it, but expect at least one unseen attacker trying to kill you after the duel Matt. It'll be an accident.
