A/N: Next chapter!
It was the day of the funeral. After some Aurors were sent out to find Harry's body, the paperwork had taken about a week, and then they were allowed to have the funeral. Ron and Hermione had helped with the funeral plans and the kids. Ginny had reminded them all of Professor Binns for the last few weeks, moving around more out of habit than anything else. Even the kids had noticed something, although Ginny had tried to put a smile on her face whenever they were around.
Ginny had just pulled up in the car with the kids. Ron excused himself from talking with and elderly witch who was saying how much she knew and loved Harry, and walked over to greet his sister, niece and nephews.
Ginny had already gotten Lily out of her seat and was carrying her while opening the door for Albus and James. Albus got out and started asking Ginny the inevitable questions.
"Mummy, why are we here?"
"To say good bye to daddy baby. C'mon James, out of the car."
"Why?" Albus asked.
"Because daddy isn't with us anymore Al."
"Why?"
Ginny was trying control herself, wanting to stay strong for her children, when Ron came up.
"Hey Al."
"Hi Uncle Ron."
"I've got a secret mission for you. Do you think you can handle it?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, your mission is to go around to everybody, and tell them the funniest joke you know. Can you do that?"
"Everyone?"
"Yep, everyone."
"Okay!" he paused. "What joke?"
"Well, what funny jokes do you know?" Ron asked him.
Albus stood there with his hand on his chin, thinking as hard as a four year old could. "I know! Daddy told me this one. What's black and white and read all over?"
"I don't Al, what?"
"A newspaper!" Albus grabbed his stomach and laughed, and Ron and baby Lily laughed too. Ginny managed a smile and a small chuckle.
"Okay, go tell everybody. Make sure they all laugh, okay?"
"Okay Uncle Ron!" Albus said while running off to a group of witches that Ron could swear went to Hogwarts with them. He then turned to Ginny.
"How are you?" Ron asked her.
"I'm better, but I don't think I'll ever be good. I miss him Ron."
"I know, me too." He hugged her. "Probably not in the same way, but…" He offered her his crooked smile and she smiled back at him, wanting to laugh.
They heard the bell that signaled that the service was about to start. "Okay James. Time to get out of the car." James just sat in the car with his arms crossed.
Ginny sighed. "James, I'm not going to tell you again. Get out of the car please. We have to go say goodbye to daddy." Her voice hitched on the last word.
"NO! You don't even care do you! I wish you had died instead of him!" James yelled at Ginny, and then ran out of the other door and into the cemetery that was across the street from the church.
Ginny stared after her eldest son, silent tears streaming down her cheeks. She was about to go chase after him, when Ron put his hand on her arm. "Gin, take Lily inside. Hermione's in there with Rose and Hugo," She opened her mouth to say something, but Ron interrupted her. "I'll handle him. We're all on edge, you more than anyone. Go on, we'll meet you inside." She nodded, and he kissed her on the cheek.
