UC: Leaving on an aeroplane

The wizarding community, to his great annoyance, insisted that Harry was the gold standard of bravery. Many still believed that he entered the Triwizard Cup of his own volition, despite all he and Dumbledore had said. Harry felt that, ultimately, the reasons why he stood up to Voldemort were loyalty to Dumbledore and his parents, necessity, and ... 'though he wouldn't put it this way ... love.
As far as Harry was concerned, the bravest action in his life was getting aboard a jet plane.
"I really don't like this, Hermione," Harry (seat 34D) said. "I think we should've asked Mr. Weasley for a portkey. The Ministry must be capable getting people around the world without the hassle of being locked up in a plane for a day."
"Really," said Hermione (seat 34E). She whispered, "Considering how much you claim about being sick of all that attention in the wizarding world, I thought you'd be happy for a Muggle solution. And flying in an airplane is much less riskier than ... some of the other aerial experiences you've had. Just relax."
