Despite the love and concern of his friends, this walking-wounded shell is merely going through the motions of life--outside work, that is.

In which we hear where she went and why, and what made her come back.

In which there is a short little Malfoy chapter.

In which the author presents a small chapter about work and play, in the hopes of satisfying voracious appetites.

In which Grainne pukes, Tonks bosses, and Harry gets Muggle assistance.

In which we attend the obligatory St. Mungo's scene.

In which the author gets fed up with all the moaning on the reviews page and gives them the wedding. Such as it is. (It should be noted that the author seldom writes weddings, because unless something goes horribly wrong, it's actually rather dull if you aren't part of the wedding party.)
