How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Quote #7

RON: Trevor…shh! Go, you shouldn't be here!

NEVILLE: Neither should you. You're sneaking out again, aren't you?

HARRY: Now, Neville, listen. We were—

NEVILLE: No! I won't let you! You'll get Gryffindor in trouble again! I-I'll fight you.

Duty can sometimes lead allies to fight. Neville doesn't see the whole picture here. He only knows that Harry and his friends are getting their House into trouble. So he does something he's scared to do because he believes it's the right thing: an honorable (if misplaced) sense of duty.

Quote #8

HARRY: No! Don't move! Don't forget; we're still playing.

Another great little wrinkle on the nature of duty. Ron's sacrificed himself so that Harry can get to the Stone, but they can't help Ron without making Ron's sacrifice useless. Eyes on the prize, gang.

Quote #9

VOLDEMORT: Don't be a fool! Why suffer a horrific death when you can join me and live?!

HARRY: Never!

Harry doesn't hesitate here: his sense of duty is strong and isn't going to be swayed by creepy head enticing him with rewards from beyond the grave.
