So beautiful. I cried my eyes out, then laughed histarically. exactly as fred's funeral would have been had Jo herself wrote it i think. the whole story fit extremely well with the characters Jo established.
Aw that was lovely. I loved the bit about the mourners and George cracking jokes. This line, 'empty words, the pitying glances, the sympathetic touches' sums up just how it is when someone dies, I think.
And the conversation was funny and beautiful: 'We'll see each other again. This is like having separate detentions. It's right awful now, but we'll be back together in a bit.' haha B

Funny and beautiful? I guess I overshot, then, I was mostly going for funny.
Thanks for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
This story had me bawling like a baby. It's so incredibly sad and touching. I think Fred would have approved.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed the story. And I agree about Fred approving. He would have been quite put out if his funeral didn't get at least a few laughs.
I loved this chapter - it made me laugh, cry, and everything in between. You write really well, and the way you represented George's 'conversation' with Fred was so natural. Very nice read!

Thank you. It's nice to hear that the "conversation" came across naturally. For a while, I was worried I was making George look totally nuts.
Oh I would LOVE to see this filmed. Have you thought in sending to Jo and asking if she can sort of find a way to make it a short?

Heh, I'm flattered that you think this is good enough to be filmed. I'll admit that I think it would make an interesting scene. But I'm sure that JK gets bombarded with ideas from fans on a daily basis, and probably doesn't care to get more.
I think I'll stick with fanfiction.
Thanks for the review and the wonderful compliment.
