"The first notable action of Ron Weasley was during the Battle of the Seven Potters. Not only did he voluntarily risk his life by volunteering to impersonate me, but also defended – with great skill - the life of a famed Auror during that battle, the late, great Nymphadora Tonks Lupin. According to eyewitness sources, Ron Stunned a Death Eater straight to the head – not an easy task while flying at incredible speeds on a broom. Ladies and gentlemen of the Wizengamot, both of those actions alone merit the definition of "outstanding bravery or distinction in magic" as far as I am concerned...but I know that justices such as yourselves are not so easily swayed."
