BILL AND FLEUR'S WEDDING CAME faster than anticipated. The ceremony was short and sweet, and Hazel wasn't one for competition but she knew in her heart that her wedding was better. Especially since halfway through Bill and Fleur's ceremony the twins turned the wedding bands into live worms, causing the French woman to scream bloody murder when one of them started wiggling around in her palm. 

The pair, of course, got scolded by Mrs. Weasley straight after the ceremony was over. However, even the older woman couldn't contain her amusement when the worms suddenly appeared, which caused the twins to feel extremely proud of themselves.

Hazel let out a loud laugh as George spun her around, before bringing her back into his chest, "Maybe you should've worn your wedding dress," He snickered, an amused grin appearing on his face as he looked down at his wife, his wife of almost a full month. 

Hazel shook her head as she chuckled, a flashback of their wedding reception resurfacing in her mind, "Please don't remind me of that," She mumbled, she pressed her cheek into George's shoulder as they swayed side to side, "And please don't ever let me drink, ever again."

George chuckled quietly as the couple fell into a comfortable silence, their bodies were pressed up against one another as they stayed on the outskirts of the dance floor. Hazel felt her eyes scanning the guests, stopping on Tonks and Remus. She noticed the uncomfortable look on the woman's face as her hand rested on her fully grown belly, it turned out that their little baby decided he - or she - didn't want to come out just yet, resulting in his mother feeling the most uncomfortable she has ever felt before.

Suddenly, the laughter, chattering and music died down as the lights powered off. Hazel pulled away from George slightly, a worried expression resting on her face as she watched a bright blue ball of light suddenly appearing on the middle of the dance floor.

"The Ministry has fallen," She heard Kingsley's voice coming out of the floating orb, "The Minister of Magic is dead. They are coming. They are coming...They are coming," The orb disappearance and the lights came back on, illuminating everyone's frightened looks.

It felt like time had stopped as panic settled in. Before she knew it, guests began running around like headless chickens, pushing each other out of the way as they apparated out of the gazebo. The brunette felt George's grip tighten on her hand as black shadows suddenly flew around the large tent. Instantly Hazel recognised them as Death Eaters.

Grabbing her wand out of her dress pocket, Hazel held it tightly in the hand that wasn't interlocked with George's, her head moving from side to side as her eyes watched the frantic scene in front of her. Suddenly, she felt herself being pushed to the ground, her grip on George disappeared as she let out a cry. Looking up, she watched as George began to fight with Death Eaters, not wanting to waste anymore time, the brunette rushed back to her feet, she kicked her red heels off as she began to throw spells wherever she spotted the black shadows.

Everything suddenly became a sensory overload. People were apparating out of the gazebo, some were in the middle of heated battles with Death Eaters, fire consumed part of the gazebo and it was slowly making its way closer to where Hazel was. 

Her eyes frantically looked around and anger seeped through her veins as she watched a Death Eater creeping up being Tonks. Pointing her wand straight at him, bright blue light emitted from the end, pushing him backwards. Hazel sprinted over to Tonks' side, "You need to get out of here, now!"

"I-I can't pick up my wand!" Tonks yelled frantically, she was sweating profusely.

Looking down, Hazel spotted the wand lying besides Tonks' feet. Bending down, the brunette grabbed the wand before she pushed it into Tonks' grip before she spotted a wet puddle right at the base of Tonks' feet, "Shit," Hazel muttered to herself, she noticed the worried look in Tonks' eyes, "Can you make it to the hospital?" She asked frantically, looking behind her every few seconds to make sure that no Death Eaters were coming towards them.

"I-I-I don't know," Tonks cried before she suddenly yelled out in pain, catching the attention of Remus and George as both of the men rushed over, worried expressions painted on their faces.

Remus rushed to his wife's side, asking her frantically is she was okay before he noticed the pained look on her face and the puddle at her feet, "Get her to Molly. We'll stay behind you," Remus said, looking at his daughter with a serious expression.

Nodding her head, Hazel wrapped her arms around Tonks, helping the woman to wobble out of the gazebo. She could feel sweat pooling on her forehead as Tonks squeezed her shoulder whilst letting out a pained scream. 

It took far longer getting the woman over to the Burrow than Hazel had hoped it would've, but as soon as Mrs. Weasley spotted the two females from her kitchen window she rushed outside, however she stayed besides the door, not wanting to weaken the protection spell she placed around the house. 

When Hazel and Tonks walked through it, that's when Mrs. Weasley rushed over to them, helping the brunette bring the pregnant woman inside. As soon as they stepped through the door, Mrs. Weasley was shouting out orders for Ginny whilst she and Hazel gently placed Tonks down onto the couch. 

The ginger haired girl rushed into the living room, her hands full of towels and a bucket of warm water. She placed it down besides the couch before moving away, a worried look on her face.

"I can't do this!" Tonks screamed, tears began to stream down her face, mixing with the sweat.

Hazel rushed over to the purple haired woman, she quickly grabbed her hand, "You can, Tonks, I know you can," She cooed, squeezing her hand comfortingly.

"You're going to have to start pushing, Tonks," Mrs. Weasley announced, looking at Tonks with a soft expression.

Tonks' eyes widened, "Now?"

"Now."

After about ten minutes, Mr. Weasley, Fred, George, Remus and Charlie rushed through the doors, all of them looking frantic before they were quick to rush into the kitchen, well, all of them apart from Remus who rushed over to his wife and daughter.

"You're here," Tonks breathed out as she grabbed Remus' hand into her free one.

"I'm here," Remus nodded, smiling softly at his wife as he pushed her greasy hair off her face.

"One more push, Tonks, come on," Mrs. Weasley encouraged, "One more," She repeated herself when she spotted the tired look on Tonks' face.

"Come on, you can do it," Remus cooed, rubbing her back gently. 

Taking in a deep inhale, Tonks let out another pained scream as she pushed herself forwards, seconds later a baby's cries filled the room.

Hazel widened her eyes before grinning. She spotted the tears in Remus' eyes as Mrs. Weasley used the warm water to clean up the baby, wrapping him up in a soft blanket she had lying around, "It's a boy," She said softly as she passed the newborn over to his father.

Hazel felt happy tears stinging her eyes as she watched her brother being held tightly by their father, his eyes were looking softly at the tiny baby in his arms.

"What are you going to name him?" Hazel questioned as Mrs. Weasley and Ginny slipped away into the kitchen, giving the family some privacy.

Remus and Tonks shared a knowing look, "Teddy."
