Ron's brow and palms were drenched with sweat due to the heat radiating off the flames. At one point, Ron nearly lost his grip over the wand in the process which allowed Charmer to materialize a giant boulder from the debris and throwing it at Ron and Draco. To Ron's surprise, Draco managed to blast the boulder before it could do some damage with some of the rocky debris managed to scratch Ron's face as it scattered.
"Nice one, Malfoy!" applauded Ron. "Didn't know you had that in you!"
"Always a tone of surprise!" said Draco giving a slight dry laugh before cowering over in pain from a gold light hitting his chest.
"Malfoy!" cried Ron running over him assist him.
"I'm fine, Weasley," groaned Draco getting up from the ground. Right across from Draco was Charmer, who peered over him with a cruel grin across his face. The expression filled Ron with rage as he stood back up and aimed a final spell at Charmer.
"Immobulus!" cried Ron freezing Charmer before he could further incapacitate Draco.
Ron turned his head and saw Hugo holding on to his leg while Rose tried to fight off Kyra and Stanley. Without hesitation, Ron a powerful stunning and three Stanley, Bruno, Kyra, and an upside-down Troy across the room. Suddenly, Ron felt himself lose his balance from the force of a shield Draco casted over them to protect against spells Gamp and Bohrs. Ron was astonished that even while wounded, Draco wanted to protect Ron which was something that Ron never thought would be possible years ago.
"Ron!" cried out Harry as he entered the fray with Seamus and Dennis at his sides.
"Harry!" called out Ron as Seamus and Dennis took on fighting Bohrs and Gamp.
"Neville told me everything - wait, I thought Al was here?" asked Harry.
"He's at Hagrid's with Hermione," said Ron. "She's going to give birth any minute now..."
"And you need to go, now!" said Harry when another blast appeared causing more rubble from the castle to fly off and nearly hit the kids but for Rose and Scorpius grabbing Hugo and . However, Scorpius noticed his father was still struggling to get up, despite a lack of blood or signs of impairment and injury.
"Father, what's wrong?" asked Scorpius walking over to help his father to his feet.
"I'm fine, son," replied Draco giving him a lopsided smile. "I'm your father, I'm invincible!" At that comment, Scorpius rolled his eyes and laughed at his father.
"C'mon, let's go!" shouted Ron as the group headed down to the boat.
The last thing Albus expected to do at sixteen was assisting with the birth of a child, let alone his own cousin. The birth was both stressful for Albus to watch Hermione go through the pain and rewarding once the baby was placed on Hermione's chest. Now Albus cleaned and swaddled the crying newborn, smiling as he noticed the bright red fuzz on the baby's head. As Albus handed the baby back to exhausted but Hermione, Hermione reached out for his hand and squeezed it to let him know her appreciation.
The tender moment was interrupted when Ron bolted through the hut's door with Rose, Scorpius, and Hugo trailing behind him. Upon seeing Hermione with their new baby, a grin grew across Ron's face.
"Hermione," sighed Ron lovingly as he walked towards the .
"Ye should've seen her, Ron," said Hagrid. "She was absolutely class!"
"Thank you, both of you," said Ron incredibly grateful.
"Rose, Hugo, say hello to yer new sister," said Hermione showing the baby to Rose and Hugo.
"Well, hello to you, little lady," cooed Hugo.
"What's her name?" asked Rose.
"I think we should name her Rubine, for Hagrid," said Hermione which made Hagrid blush.
"How about Rubine Alba Granger-Weasley?" said Ron as he swayed his new daughter. "We'll add in Alba for Albus."
"That's very kind of you, Uncle Ron," said Albus slightly embarrassed from the praise and attention. "But it was Hagrid who did the work..."
"Aw, Albus, don't sell yerself short," countered Hagrid. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say he had delivered babies before."
"Well, I'm not calling her Rubine," stated Hugo. "I'm calling her Ruby."
"Me too," agreed Rose. "It's easier to say."
"Welcome to the world, Ruby Granger-Weasley," said Ron.
Scorpius hung back as the Granger-Weasleys gushed over the new baby. When Albus looked over his shoulder to check on Scorpius, Scorpius smiled and winked at Al, letting him know that Al did an amazing thing.
"Scorpius?" asked Draco leaning against the doorway looking exhausted and defeated. Before Scorpius could respond Scorpius could speak to his father, Draco suddenly collapsed in Scorpius.
"What's happening?" asked Scorpius holding his father with a scared look on his face. "What's wrong with him?"
"We need to get him to St. Mungo's," said Ron handing Ruby to Hermione. "Hagrid, take Hermione and the baby on your motorbike..."
"Is that even safe?" asked Rose. Ron did not hear Rose's question as he helped Scorpius carry Draco to the fireplace.
"Dad…" insisted Rose worried about Draco and Scorpius.
"Rose, take your brother and Al to the castle," said Ron. "Find your Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny and tell them where we are going."
Before Rose could say another word, Ron and the Malfoys had disappeared in a poof of soot.
