A/N: Slightly AU - Remus died later on here.
Ginny remembered the last time she'd seen her grandfather. She'd only been two. She'd stared around, confused and curious, as everyone cried, hugging Grandpa, and so many tearful goodbyes lingered in the air. Grandpa had kissed Ginny once on her cheek, and then paused at the doorway for one moment, before walking out of all their lives.
She knew now that he had gone out to fight at the Ministry, and he had been killed at the wand of a Death Eater.
But when she'd curiously asked her mother as to where Grandpa was, and when he would return, Molly had replied quietly, saying that Grandpa had gone on a lovely holiday. It was a beautiful place, with love and laughter and happy times. Grandpa would be so happy there that he would stay on.
Ginny remembered wanting to go on the holiday, too. But then, she'd forgotten, as childhood passed and memories of Grandpa blurred into nostalgic memories.
Ginny shook herself out of the daze now as her little son prodded her arm insistently.
"Mommy," Xavier whispered, prodding his mother, "I miss Uncle Remus."
Ginny swallowed. Draco exchanged a glance with her from across the room, and his face paled.
Ginny gazed down at the big gray eyes of her son, smiled.
Uncle Remus was killed, she wanted to cry. He was brave, he fought for us all, and he was killed.
"Uncle Remus..." She touched her son's cheek softly. "Uncle Remus is in a beautiful place, darling. He's so happy there, with all the people he loves. Uncle Remus has gone on a holiday, and we'll never know when he'll come back."
"Maybe we can go there!" suggested Xavier hopefully.
"Oh, we will." She kissed his cheek. "We'll all go there someday, on that holiday, and be together forever. Won't we, Draco?"
Draco swallowed, nodded. Ginny held back a tear.
"It's a holiday, darling," she whispered. "And we all have to wait, until we can go there. It's a lovely holiday."
