"He-- He showed us compassion even though none of us deserved it. Especially when we had given him and others a hard time in the past. We had hid in shame due to our failures and mistakes.
Had Remus not shown up when he did...and warned us... none of us would have survived the attack. --And we would have deserve it. He had every right to turn away from us, but he stayed....Where we would have ran if placed in such a situation."
As he spoke, Draco held his gaze with Kingsley. He tried not to look over at Remus...uncertain of what he would see there. His voice wavered as he spoke, but there was no malice in there or the haughty nature that came with the Malfoys.
"His act of bravery not only in front of the dementors, but to stay and help us had triggered something inside me. Something I thought I had buried a long time ago in order to follow in my family's footsteps.
Because of that... I put aside my own needs to help him out knowing that it shouldn't be a task he should do alone...especially with that many running around."
