Ron sat in horror, unable to react thanks to the calming draught and everything else Molly had done to him. Helplessly, he watched Bill, Percy, George, and Fred herd people from the courtroom as Hermione covered their retreat. Tonks jumped in to begin defending the ministry employees from Diggle and Jones. Remus swept his mother-in-law to safety. Ron could barely turn his head to follow his mother's dueling. He managed to catch her collapse to the floor, Bellatrix cackling above her crumpled body. Fire raced along his nerves distracting him. He tried to move anything, but his body refused to react. Rough hands caught his crumpled body before he slid to the floor. Graham Montague stared down at him, Marcus Flint held him by the shoulders. "That was for hurting Luna. The next one is for Hermione." He cast the spell silently. The fire raced through Ron again. "And this last bit is a present from Hermione. If you ever think about either woman you will hurt if you try to harm them your brain will burn itself out leaving you a vegetable. I hope it takes you decades to learn the lesson personally."
