HPPS: The Midnight Duel
"I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed -- or worse, expelled."
Although no midnight duel actually occurs, quite a bit else happens in this chapter. Chiefly, McGonagall disregards the rules in favour of giving Gryffindor a better chance at the Quidditch cup and Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville learn something about the forbidden corridor on the third floor. But my favourite thing is learning that Hermione is very observant even when faced with possible death or, Merlin forbid, expulsion. She notices not only the obvious bloody great three headed salivating dog, but also that it is guarding a trapdoor. The others, as Sherlock Holmes might have noted, saw, but did not observe.
