Thank you to everyone who's read and reviewed this story. We've hit the end and this is the wrap-up.
Hippiechick was my superquick reviewer last chapter. Sorry that took so long, my dear, I'm still alive!
Hand3, Lil, thanks for the feedback. All greatly appreciated, I assure you.
Nenharmen: You're a sweetheart. Thank you for the lovely review and the sweet compliments. I doubt I'll ever be a famous writer (or famous anything, really) but if I am, you can be sure I'll end my bits at awkward moments.
Mac1: this is the end, sadly. If you really want more of my stuff, you can click on my profile and read my other stories (if you haven't already). Potholes is first, followed by Saved the World and Normal's last. (You'll understand what I'm talking about when you read them).
Draccy: a short review's better than no review!!
Anyways, here it is. Enjoy!!

Matthew,
Confirmed elimination of Bartolomew Rainlander. He wasn't too difficult to eliminate between the two of us.
On another note, thank you so much for the gorgeous wedding gift. I'm sure that Remus will figure out what to do with the zebra print thong sometime soon. The book is already being put to use. I'm really glad our profession keeps us in shape.
I'm not available next weekend, regrettably, as Remus and I do have to finish some work for the Order of the Phoenix. Tuesday will be fine, however, and I can definitely do some recon in Peru. I'll be in Brazil anyways.
I've already reminded ZT that I'm taking a honeymoon in a week and we'll be gone for a month. I know it's traditional to leave after the wedding, but things came up so we postponed it for two weeks to take care of business.
I also wanted to remind you that Tonks and Kingsley's engagement party is on Friday and if you don't come Tonks will castrate you with one of the cardboard party hats. It's likely to be painful. I'm quite sure Bill will force you to come in any case but I just wanted to add my own implied threat and Tonks' explicit one. Do give Bill my love and tell him that his mother's slowly coming to terms with his choice in lovers. Next time you visit her, avoid the acid green hair. She was more offended by that than the fact that her son was homosexual, so tone it down, tiger.
Also, Ginny and Draco are coming to Italy to visit you so be prepared. They're sickeningly in love, quite like you and Bill. Sickeningly. Harry might visit as well so try to arrange the rooms so that he's not scarred for life. Well, anymore scarred than he was to begin with.
Oh, you asked how Remus ended up proposing to me? Well, it's a long and rather romantic story that involves our trip to Cairo. You remember that? The mission where we were supposed to find Nott and take him out and he ended up having died of dysentery from eating at a roadside shawarama vendor? Well we took a two day vacation and went horseback riding from Giza to Saqqara at night. The Western Desert is amazing at night. We stopped to have a snack midway and while I turned to get some food out of my saddle bag he got down on one knee. When I turned back he looked up at me and proposed, holding out the sapphire, diamond, and platinum ring his great-great grand uncle had designed and made for his future wife. That's the story. Don't you dare tell anyone, though. We're still telling people that Ron drugged us.
Now that I'm done playing cruise director and personal organizer, I'm going to go attend to more important things. Like my husband.
Hope that leaves you with a lovely mental picture...
