3 days later found the Weasley's, Harry and Marissa at Hogwarts. It was the weekend, so Headmistress McGonagall gave permission to have the funerals in the Hogwarts grounds.
"It's great to see you. I just wish it wasn't at these circumstances", McGonagall said to Ron and harry as they walked into the headmistress' office with the three babies. "Beautiful babies", She added sitting down and gesturing for them to sit down.
"Thank-you Professor", they said.
"It is unfortunate we meet again under these circumstances. And thank-you for allowing us to have the funeral's here", Harry added.
"Oh, it's quite alright. So tell me, what are the little one's names?"
"Well, Ginny and I had twins. This is Kaitlyn Ginny Amber Potter, and this is Christian Joseph Mitchel Potter", Harry told her.
"And Hermione and I had a baby girl, Mia Hermione Weasley", Ron told her.
"Ahh, great names", she said. The portrait of Albus Dumbledore nodded his head in agreement.
"Thank-you", Harry and Ron said.
"My pleasure", she said as she got up. "Should we get this on the way?" Harry and Ron nodded.
"We were also wondering, if we could spread the ashes around the grounds?" Harry asked.
"Yes Mr. Potter, you certainly can. I know Ginny and Hermione would have wanted that. Do you have small flat headstones?"
"Not yet", Ron said.
"That's okay. I can get a couple made. We'll put them on the ground beside the tomb of Professor Dumbledore", McGonagall said.
"Okay", they said as they walked out the door, down the eagle stairs and down the grand stair case and marble stairs and out into the grounds. There were two caskets sitting on a table. The heads of the caskets were open so everyone can see the two young women for one last time. There were people starting to arrive and sit in the seats. One person they saw they never expected to see. Draco Malfoy. He was in the back row, hoping no one would see him. Harry and Ron walked over to him.
"Malfoy? What are you doing here?" Harry asked as he sat the two car seats down.
"Hi Harry, Ron", Draco said.
"What did you just call us?" Ron asked, also putting the car seat down.
"Aren't those your names?" Draco asked.
"Well, yeah. But you've never called us by our first names", Harry said as Draco stood up.
"Look, it's been five years. Haven't we matured? Can't we forgive and forget?" Draco asked.
"Well, we've matured. Have you?" Ron asked.
"Yes Ron, I have. I'm engaged and my fiancé is pregnant".
"Good for you Mal, I mean Draco", Ron said. Harry nodded.
"Thanks. Friends?" Draco asked holding out his hand.
"Friends", Harry said shaking Draco's hand.
"Yeah, friends", Ron agreed also shaking his hand.
"Look, I know it's weird that I'm here, but I read about the accident in the Daily Prophet around 3 ½ months ago and I couldn't believe it. So yesterday I found the obituaries in the Prophet and it said the funeral date and place. I thought I'd pay my respects to you all", Draco explained.
"Okay. It's really open for anyone", Harry told him.
"So what are the baby's names?"
"This is Kaitlyn Ginny Amber Potter, and this is Christian Joseph Mitchel Potter", Harry pointed to his two sleeping babies.
"And this is Mia Hermione Weasley", Ron pointed to his also sleeping baby.
"Awe, well they're very adorable. I can't wait until my fiancé has the baby", Draco said. "We should catch up after the service", Draco added.
"Yeah, okay. Do you wanna move to the front with us?" Harry asked.
"Sure, I guess".
The service started and there wasn't a dry eye around. Even Draco was crying. Harry thought he felt really bad about how he treated them in the past. Harry got up and made his speech about the two women.
"I first met Ginny Weasley on September 1st, 2004, my very first day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I didn't learn her name until a year later when Ron, Fred and George rescued me from my aunt and uncle's house. From there on we were really good friends. In 2009 we shared our first kiss and we dated for a while. We had to break up as I was going after Voldemort, after I defeated him we started dating again. A couple years after we graduated I proposed", Harry had tears rolling down his face now. "A couple years later we were pregnant. I will never forget the day the accident happened. I lost the love of my life, but god gave me a chance at fatherhood and he never took my baby's lives. It wasn't until they were born that I knew we had twins. I love you Ginny Potter. I will never forget you. And for Hermione Granger, I love you as well. Hermione was more than a friend, much more. She was my sister-in-law. She still is, and always will be. I befriended Hermione on our very first day at Hogwarts. Thank-you", Harry finished and he was still crying.
Then Ron got up and made his speech.
"Ginny was my baby sister. I didn't only lose my sister; I lost the love of my life and was also granted the chance of fatherhood. These two women will never be forgotten, they will always be in our hearts. It's going to be heard to tell our children what happened to there mothers, but I think we can make them understand. I've always been told, dying is a way of life. It's natural. But in this case it wasn't. We were in a car accident because someone was driving drunk. Justice will be served to that individual. My brother, Harry and I will make sure of that. I love you Ginny and Hermione, so much. Thank-you", Ron was crying now and Harry got up and they hugged each other.
Draco even prepared a speech. He asked Harry and Ron if he could read it.
"Over the years I treated Hermione and Ginny like crap. I feel so bad about it. I have for years. I know it's not right to blame other people, but my dad is to blame. I take blame as well, but after my dad was locked up in Azkaban my life has been so much better than I thought it could ever be. I'm so sorry Harry and Ron for how I treated you guys and I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you could find it in your hearts to forgive me. And I hope we can be friends, after all our kids will be attending Hogwarts together soon. They'll be in the same grade. Again, I'm sorry. Hermione and Ginny tried to reason with me in the past but I never listened. Thank-you", Draco finished and he was also crying, Harry and Ron got up and hugged him as he came back over to sit down.
"We forgive you Draco", they both said. The three men sat back down as everyone stood up and went to say goodbye one last time. Harry, Ron and Draco waited until last. When they got up there, there were flowers on each girl. Ron put a picture of Mia on Hermione's heart and Harry put a picture of Kaitlyn and Christian side by side on Ginny's heart. They both kissed them for one last time.
"Okay, I'm sorry boys, it's time for them to be cremated", McGonagall said. They nodded as McGonagall shut the lids to the caskets. She waved her wand and they disappeared. "Two boxes of Ashes will be on my desk with each name tomorrow morning. Draco, nice to see you again".
"You too, Professor. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you back then".
"It's alright. That's the past". Draco nodded.
"Harry, Ron, I had these made", Professor McGonagall said handing a flat tombstone to each of them. Professor McGonagall had them made bigger than normal ones. They were heavy, but not to heavy.

"Thank-you so much professor", Harry said tears streaming down his face.
"Yes, thank-you so much", Ron said, also with tears streaming down his face.
"You're welcome. Come here", she said going to give them a hug. They obeyed and gave McGonagall a hug. "Come with me", she said leading them towards the tomb of Albus Dumbledore.
"We are going to mount these side-by-side right here on the ground. But we're putting a little lift on it. So it will be a little lifted off the ground. Sound good?" The boys nodded. "Okay, great. And you two can come back here to visit any time you want, alright?" They nodded again.
