• Hagrid freeing the muggleborns by smashing their cells open, spells bouncing off his back,and leading them to the illegal Portkey to France. He saves every single one.
  • The illegal Portkey itself, as the people who made and run it are aware they're signing on for torture and death. None of them even know any of the children. They do it simply because it's the right thing to do. They all die, but their death proves that normal people will stand up to tyrants.

  • Draco rose and faced them. 'Sit down, the both of you. Hasn't anyone heard anything I just said? There are ten thousand bloody werewolves headed toward Viktor and my cousin right now. People are dying, lots of people, and we sit here throwing insults at each other? Are we men of Durmstrang or boys playing at war?'The result was immediate and beyond his wildest expectations.
